Dr. Klrkconnelfs Addrsm

Dr. Watson Kirkconnell, Presi- dent of Acadia University, was the speaker at the oiificial dinner in The Charlottetown at six- thirty. Col. G. Elliott Pull was ioestmastcr and introduced the eminent speaker to the large group of Brethren present.

‘Modern Communism, since the days of Karl Marx. has emressly repudiated law, morality and re- ligion", said Dr. Kirkconnell. "To the Communist. lam,wss a hoax. morality was a fraud. and religion was the opium of the masses.

,“'I'he result of this repudiation of all standards of good and evil was clear when Communism ex- pressed itself in action. ‘Btaiin had broken more treaties than any other man in the world's wicked history and his system of slave camps in Russia has dwarf- ed all previous human slavery in ferocity and extent. The gulf be- tween the Communist millionaire coonnlsssrs and the downtrodden masses in soviet Russia was a denial of all their propaganda solicitude for human Commimlsm was on the march in Asia. Stalin's devoted Chinese C- uni ‘a were busy now spit- ting on those silly Western fools who hsd regarded them as agrar- ian reformers and ingrained na- t-ionaiists."

Dr. Kirkconnell called for clear thinking by Masons in such 1mi- ters. British "diplomacy" and Soviet “democracy” are as differ- ent as light and darkness. although the same word was used. he slid. There is an exactly comparable difference between the frcemas- onry of the Bcottish rite, _found in Britain. Canada and the U. s. A.. and the “Grand Orient" free- masonry of Europe and Latin Am- erica. The latter had been athe- istic and revolutionary for more then a century and a half.

In his address. the Prime Min- ister said:

1. The ions reason "for the at- tack cf the Ticry party on bureau- cracy is that civil servants cannot defend themseH-es in public.”

fl. “Certain recent developments in Toronto give some grounds to fear that a Iicry government might be just as great a threat to the freedom of the press as a socialist government." He referred to dis- cussions in the Ontario legislature "on a bill which dealt with the Toronto Star as the principal asset disposed of under the will of the late Mr. (Joseph) Atkinson."

l. The Liberal Party aims at the “widest possible distribution cf the good things of life" and one cf the most effective approaches to this is "to ensure that the great aourcss cf" tax revenues . . . are not mon- opolized by two or three of the wealthier provinces."

4. There are "two ways to fight

Awaited By Piekaiu-a

Mr. Si: Laurent, after a N-mile. three-stop car drive up the coast from Lunenburg, reached his hotel here about 12.45 p.m., Saturday and entered a door other than the main one outside which some 300 men and women were moving in a quiet circle. A spokesman for his party said they had been informed by Dolice there iwas a possibility of "violencel."

The pcketers bore placards say- ln8 Illflh things as “How many seamen to sail a ship?" and "is the C.N.S. boycotting Halifax?" Possibly 30 minutes after the ar- rival of the P.M.. Harry Gulkin, secretary of the C811. strike com- mittee here, halted their movc- ments and, through a loud speak. er. shouted that Mr. St. Laurent had not "dared to face the people of Halifax."

He said the St. Laurent govern- ment would be defeated June 27 unless it changed policies which included use of "his mounties . . . 111111 Bflllgeters." Th; strike, Gulkin cried, would go on for six months if necessary by seamen who had faced the torpedoes of Hitler in war and the shotguns of “hired gangsters" in peace. .

The picketers cheered him and, M'- hls request. booed the Prime Minister before marching away to a meeting.

A. A.'s' Open New Clubroom

Marked by the presence of rcp- rcsentatives from Amherst, Mone- ton, saint John, St. Stephen. Sum- mersids and Albcrton groups in ad- dition to a large number of wives of the members, the official open- ing of the Charlottetown Alcoholic Anonymous group's new clubrocm in the Palmer Building took place over the week-end.

Opening session took place on Saturday night with the wind-up meeting boiling held yesterday af- ternoon. On both occasions the commodio new elm room was packed to hear outstanding speak- crs on A.A. work in splendid ad- dresses. As am added feature two splendid films portraying the many benefits derived from the A. A. program were also own by Mr. Stan Mcllnnis of the National Film Board

Members of the clergy were also heard in fine addresses. all airm- ths importance of A.A. in its efforts to help unfortunate ai- eoholics to get on a new way of living

Although relatively new to this Province A.A. work, particularly in the last year, has grownbyleaps and bounds. A striking demon- stration of this was in evidence over the week-mu by the Tm marbers present and it is co that the movement, now on s solid foundation, is here to stay.

Groups are located at Aibexton. Rimeraki, Summerside and Cher- lottetown and s. tnle indication of the outstanding work being per- formed is gained by the ever-in- creasing numiber of men who have attained total sobriety.

Alcoholics Anonymous came into being around 19.35. Its founder is known as "Bill". Like all new movements it was slow in gaining momentum but at the present time is sweeping into all sections of the world and its membership has now grown to upwards of 80,000 people.

A.A. chitin-acres no color or creed and joining is purely voluntary on the part of those who have found themselves to be powerless over alcohol. The steps to be taken are laid down in the i2 steps of A.A. and these same l2 steps. which have pwven beneficial to so many. were graphically described and il- lustrated by not a few o1 those present at the week-end program, a program that brought out to the fullest the realization of the mas-

nlficent work the various groups are doing. The local club room is open

every evening and anyone desirous of becoming members will be cor- dially welcomed. Regular meeting night is tvery Thursday at B o‘- clock atnd it might be strused here that no dues are required. m9 Club meeting expenses by passing the h“ st. each weekly meeting. _._?___.

Masons Aiiend. Si. Paul's Service

At the morning service at St. Paul's Church yesterday a larKQ number of the members of the Masonic Order attended the ser- vice in a body.

The special preacher was Rev. Canon L. F‘. Crothcrs. 35d, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the Province of Qilebw. A-F- 3‘ 11M» who is in the City in connection with the Masonic Conference of the Grand Lodges of Eastern Ca- nada.

Canon Cruthers in his opening remarks said, on this. his first visit to this Province. three things were very noticabie to him. There were, the beauty of the countryside, the ncatness of the farms and villages and the friendliness of the people‘. and he hoped be could return sometime for a much longer visit.

The preacher took his text from the Second Book of Chronicles which records that Uzziah. the king did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. l-lis son Jothan when he became king also did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. but Ahaz the grandson of king Uzziah, when he

evil in the sight of the Lord.

The speaker, drawing a parallel of the time of the three kings and today, said that when our fore- fathers settled in this country, all they had was s_. strong faith in God, their Bible and not much else. Nowadays people are drifting away from God. Family worship, one of the bulwarks of Christian living has all but died out in our homes. What, the preacher asked, are we to leave to the generation that will follow us. We must get back to the worship of God, in our homes as well as in our churches. '

In speaking directly to the mom- bers ef the Masonic Order, Canon Crothers said that Communism is trying hard to get a foothold in Canada and we must ever be on our guard and make sure it will be put down and rooted out where ever it shows its presence, or we will loss our freedom, our liberty, and everything we hold dear to our hearts, and the only way to overcome this evil is to live our lives as God would have us. ever trusting in l-fim for help and guidance in the days that lie ahead.
