"Four Men Committed," Windsor Star. July 14, 1943. Page 14. --- Charged With Looting From Summer Homes on Lake Erie ---- Four Windsor men charged with breaking into five summer cottages of Lake Erie beach resorts and plundering them of large quantities of possessions of the owners, were committed for trial by jury, by Magistrate J. A. Hanrahan, following a preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon in the county police court.

ADDITIONAL CHARGE An additional charge against the four, of breaking into the P. Philpot bake shop in Essex, and stealing $500 in currency and war savings stamps, will have a preliminary hearing in the county police court on Saturday.

The four accused are Louis Balog. Joseph Peltier, Donald George and Alex Fazekas. Balog and Peltier had Bernard Cohn as defence counsel. George was represented by Captain S. A. Wallace, and Fazekas by Ross Riddell, K.C.

A great quantity of possessions, including clothing and silverware, were heaped up in the courtroom as evidence in the case, and some of it was identified by Mrs. Charels Saunders, whose Cedar Beach cottage in Gosfield South Township was entered.

Two separate charges were made against Joseph Peltier of breaking into the cottages of H. A. Holderman and C. A. Davies at Cloverdale Beach.

In addition to the Saunders cottage. the four men also were charged with breaking into and stealing from the Oxley Beach cottages in Colchester South Township, of Charles Hess. Mrs. W. H. Stranger, Louis Delman and Dr. Carl McClelland.

ALLEGED JAIL-BREAKER Fazekas on Saturday also will face a charge of breaking out of Riverside jail on June 17.

Investigation of the breaking and entry charges was made by Constables F. C. Thurston and J. S. Bennett of the Ontario Provincial Police, who were the chief witnesses in the preliminary hearing.

Of the four accused, only Fazekas elected for trial by jury. At the conclusion of the case for the Crown, the magistrate having concluded that a prima facae case had been established against all four defendants, exercised his right to commit the four men for trial by jury.

ONLY EVIDENCE HEARD Only testimony concerning the breaking into and entering of the Saunders case was heard, following which, counsel for the defence, with the consent of their clients, waived preliminary hearings on the charges relating to thefts from the other cottages.

Trust in God implies total self-renunciation. The moment that I trust in myself, I cease to trust in God. The moment I take any portion of my confidence away from the Lord and put a grain of it in myself, that moment I take away all my trust in God. My trust in God must be all or nothing. It must be unreserved and complete, or else it is false and delusive. Is not the Lord worthy to be trusted? And if He is worthy to be trusted at all, is He not worthy to be trusted with all? What real confidence could a man have in the wife of his bosom if he could trust her with one key, but not with all? Is that full confidence? So, if we can trust God for one thing and not for all, it shows that we have no real trust in Him. A man has no real trust in his wife who cannot give her all the keys.

SLOW LEARNERS Joseph Charles Philpot (1802 - 1869): "So Jesus said, Do you also still not understand?" (Matthew 15:16)

Is your conscience made honest? Does that monitor in your bosom speak the truth? Tell me what it says. Does it not say, “Few trials, few consolations; few sorrows, few joys; few difficulties, few testimonies from God; few sufferings, few discoveries of love and blood?” Does not the Apostle say, “As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ?” (2 Cor. 1:5.) And does he not say, “Our hope of you is steadfast, knowing, that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation?”And does he not tell us to be mindful not to forget what the Lord says when he speaks to his people, that the lot of a child is to endure chastisement? He says, “My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked of Him; for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chastens not? But if you be without chastisement,” (O solemn word! O how applicable to thousands!) “whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons.”

Here, then, is the main labor of faith: to believe in Jesus Christ so as to obtain pardon, peace, and deliverance. Many a poor soul is laboring hard at this work, yet with a deep and increasing conviction that it is a work which he cannot perform except by the immediate power of God. So powerful an antagonist is unbelief, that, with all his attempts, he feels that he cannot subdue it, nor raise up one grain of that true faith whereby Christ is experimentally brought into the heart. But this very struggle plainly shows that there is life within, a work of God on his soul; for, from the movements of his grace, and the opposition of his carnal mind to them, all this conflict proceeds. When, then, in due time, the blessed Spirit brings Christ near to his eyes and heart, reveals Him within, takes of His atoning blood, and sprinkles it on his conscience, brings forth His righteousness and puts it upon him, and sheds abroad the love of God, then He raises up that special faith in the Lord Jesus, whereby the soul hangs, and if I may use the expression, hooks itself upon His Person, as God-man, upon His blood as cleansing from all sin, upon His righteousness as perfectly justifying, upon His grace as super-abounding over all the aboundings of evil, and upon His dying love as a balmy cordial against all the woes and sorrows by which it is distressed. This is believing in the Son of God; believing in Jesus Christ to the salvation of the soul.

What then have been your best friends? Your trials. Where have you learned your best lessons? In the school of temptation. What has made you look to Jesus? A sense of your sin and misery. Why have you hung upon the word of promise? Because you had nothing else to hang upon. Thus, could you look at the results, you would see this, that trials and temptations produced upon your spirit these two effects; that they tried your faith, and that sometimes to the uttermost, so that in the trial it seemed as if all your faith were gone; and yet they have wrought patience, they have made you endure. Why have you not long ago given up all religion? Have your trials made you disposed to give it up? They have made you hold all the faster by it. Have your temptations induced you to let it go as a matter of little consequence? Why, you never had more real religion than when you were tried whether you had any; and never held faith with a tighter grasp than when Satan was pulling it all away. The strongest believers are not the men of doctrine, but the men of experience; not the boasters, but the fighters; not the parade officers in all the millinery of spotless regimentals, but the tattered, soiled, wounded, half-dead soldiers that give and take no quarter from sin or Satan.

How is the Christian soldier made? By going to chapel, by reading the Bible, by singing hymns, by talking about religion? Just as much as the veteran warrior is made by merely living the barracks. He must go into the battle and fight hand to hand with Satan and the flesh; he must endure cruel wounds given by both outward and inward foes; he must lie upon the cold ground of desolation and desertion; he must rush up the breach when called to storm the castles of sin and evil, and never “yield or abandon the field,” but press on determined to win the day, or die. In these battles of the Lord, in due time he learns how to handle his weapons, how to call upon God in supplication and prayer, to trust in Jesus Christ with all his heart, to beat back Satan, to crucify self, and live a life of faith in the Son of God. Religion is not a matter of theory or of doctrine—it is to be in the thick of the battle, fighting with the enemy hand to hand, foot to foot, shoulder to shoulder. This actual, not sham, warfare makes the Christian soldier hardy, strengthens the muscles of his arm, gives him skill to wield his weapons, and power sometimes to put his enemies to flight. Thus it “works endurance,” makes him a veteran, so that he is no longer a raw recruit, but one able to fight the Lord’s battles and “to endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”

Does not James say, “Blessed is the man who endures temptation?” And again, “Count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations?” Why? Is there any joy in trials, any pleasure in sorrow? No, none. But in the deliverance from the Lord; in the power of God put forth to bring the soul out; there is joy there. And, therefore, we have to walk in a dark path to make the light dear to our eyes; we have to pass through trials to taste the sweetness of the promises when applied with power; we have to endure temptations, that we may enjoy the sweetness of deliverance. And this is the way, be sure of it, that God deals with His people.

There are three kinds of righteousness, or at least three kinds of righteousness which bear that name. There is inherent righteousness, of which we have none. There is imputed righteousness, which is all our justification. And there is imparted righteousness, when God the Spirit makes us new creatures, and raises up in the heart that “new man, which after God” (that is, “after the image of God”) “is created in righteousness and true holiness.” When the Lord, therefore, said, “Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall never enter into the kingdom of heaven,” He did not mean only an external righteousness wrought out by His obedience to the law for them, but an internal righteousness wrought out by the Holy Spirit in them. Thus we read of the inward as well as the outward apparel of the Church, “The King’s daughter is all glorious within; her clothing is of wrought gold.” Two kinds of righteousness belong to the Queen; her imputed righteousness is her outward robe, “the clothing of wrought gold;” but imparted righteousness is her inward adorning, which makes her “all-glorious within.” This inward glory is the new man in the heart, with all his gifts and graces, what Peter calls “the divine nature,” “Christ in the heart, the hope of glory.”
