Free Church acing
 Critical Day, Hour
Rev. Dr. John Walker Appeals to Second COngrega= tionaI Members to Measure Loyalty By Generosity

the piper and supports the churches, the state will sooner or later call the tune. Our founding fathers of New England loved freedom in wor- ship so much they were willing to pledge their fortunes and their lives to the cause they had chosen to make their own.
 So today we make appeal for the Second Congregational church, its local expenses an dits benevolences budget. We have set forth our needs and our hopes in our printed bud- get. This is an honest budget, not simply because it gives honest in- formation, btu because it is intend- ed to be fair and impartial state ment of our needs for the coming year. With the appeal which accom- panies it, the card for those who wish to contribute to the mainten- ance fund, you have reasonable and hopeful provision for the needs of the church in the days of the future. This is a church which brides itself on the loyalty of its members and on the very large number of those who contribute. That number ought to be icnreased and increased appreciably year after year. Last year we had 300 pledges. That is large number and a larger proportion that you will find in most Protestant churches but 1t still leaves plenty of room for i'm provement. should say that ninety per cent of our members ought to pledge. am frank to say that where years ago by and people con- tinue. to insist that they are mem hers but make no effort to bear their fair share of the financial load, leav ing that burden to others more generous, such nominal numbers must be considered very doubtful assets to the church. would remind you that church can be no greater than the financial loyalty of its people and no stronger than their support. We measure our loyalty to and our affection for our church by teh measure of generosity or our lack of it as the case may be.

'"Ti1is is the critical day and hour for the free church" stated Rev. Dr.. John c. Walker, Second Congrega- tional church pastor in his sermon yesterday morning entitled, The Joy of Giving Every Member Can vass Sunday was observed.
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 There are great issues at stake in the world today. These are desper- ate, tragic times. So far Americans have been sheltered from the devaS- tating storms of revolution, conquest war which have swept across the borders of so many lands East and West. In land after land, with na- tion after nation, all the safeguards of liberty, the civil guarantees of free speech, free assembly, & free pass, freedom of worship have been cast into the discard and in their place we have seen the rise of vast and intolerable tyrannies. Freedom is the great issue in the world to- day and freedom stands in greater peril at this moment than it has at any time since the fall of Napoleon.
 Whether we realize it or not, the free church is our issue, our chal- lenge! The free church, the church supported by voluntary contribu- tions has disappeared, it has been stamped out or brought to heel by the tyrar1ts here, there and almost everywhere across the world. Our Pilgrim and our Puritan forefathers risked everything, dared everything for the sake of freedom of worship. They had passion to worship God according to the dictates of con- science. They were determined to purchase their spiritual freedom at whatever cost even if it were life it. self. They saw quite clearly that state supported churches could hardly be expected to be prophetic. They faced gladly and generously the practical problem of supporting their free churches and training an ministry, which was, of course, teh well konwn primary pur- pose in teh founding of Harvard College. Our forefathers were de- termined to pay the piper. They knew full well that if the state pays

 His own workroom at Columbia University in New York City is fitted with modern bright red and somber fawn colored chromium furniture, venetian blinds, and a green rug - vastly unlike the pro- verbal psychologists sanctum.
 Dr. Watson has already studied some of the factors which contrib ute to human happiness and dis covered that those who find joy in their leisure time cannot make up for the joy which they do not find in their jobs.
 Many people spend years finding just the kind of work they want to do. Dr. Watson's own circuit tous path into his present work may give them courage. It was years before he found psychology and the zest for life which it and his l17-acre farm have given him.

 Dr. Banting, winner of the Nobel prize in 1923, was known to have been travelling throughout Canada consulting flyers and doctors on problems connected with air fight- ing, such as the prevention of air sickness, methods of offsetting the ''backouts," or periods of uncon- sciouSneSS which afflictS pilots at the end of power dives, and the use of heart palliatives for high altitude flying. 8
 He was one of the greatest medical scientists of modern times, and his study of the naturel affiliations of mankind twice were interrupted by war. A veteran of the World War, he had turned to cancer research after his triumph in the field, of diabetes and was commissioner a captain in the 18th General hospital, Royal Canadian Air Medical corps, at the outbreak of the new war in 1939.
 In Military Plane
 It was revealed that he was fly ing in military plane with Capt. Joseph Creighton Mackey, 31, of Kansas City, Mo, Navigator William Bird of England, and William Snail ham, Bedford, N. s. The plane was "being delivered by a civilian or ganization," the announcement said.
 "It twas flying in fair weather con- ditionS and it has not arrived at its destination, and as no radio signal has been received from it since Friday morning, it is feared it may have come down in the sea of fthe east coast or on land remote from means of communication. An intensive and widespread search was commenced immediately, and 1t is still in progress"
 There was. no indication of the planes place of departure or deStin- ation or of the identity of the "civiliZation organization" deliver ing it.
 Sir Frederick was 50. He was born on a farm in Alliston, Ont, and was doing research in London; Ont, af- ter the World War, when he con- ceived the idea of insulin, a func- tionary principle of the pancreas which promotes the utilization of sugar in that organism.
 Inventor and Remedy
 With an assistant, Dr. Charles Best, working at the University of Toronto under the auspices of Dr. J. R. Macleod, he prepared a solu- ton also called f11sulfn, from the pancreas of sheep and oxen. This solution is a specific. for diabetes and it has saved or prolonged in- definitely the lives of countless thou sands of victims of that disease, of- fering them their only salvation from a certain, lingering death.
 Dr. Banting and his collaborators experimented on dogs, killing 9l, by exposing them to diabetes, before discovering insulin in time to save the 92nd dog. The discovery was announced in 1922. Dr. Banting sold the patent to the University of Toronto for $l, which he never re- ceived. He was rewarded, however, by the Nobel prize and an annual $7,5O0 benefice from the Canadian government. In 1884 he was made a knight commander of the British empire, and the Banting Institute in Toronto was dedicated to him.
