Finding The Real Man
Who Was, and Is
William Aberhart
"There is a principle which is a bar against
all information,
which is proof against all argument,
and cannot fail to keep men in everlasting ignorance.
That principle is 'contempt prior to examination.'
-Dr. Paley
One greater than Paley has said:
" He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,
it is a folly and a shame unto him."
Proverbs 18:13 KJV
Although the following verse speaks of the faith of Abel,
it also seems to fit so well to the life and testament
of William Aberhart as found on this website.
"God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead
yet speaketh." Hebrews 11:4b KJV

Mrs Irene
(Eberhart) Barrett a favorite neice of William Aberhart, talks
about a Plaster Bust like this one.
"I have a plaster head
of William which a man did of him while he was having dinner
for serveral nights running in the East, Ottawa probably. On
the final night the man presented the bust to uncle William.
It was complete with wire prince nez eyeglasses. He left it
with the family in Seaforth, Ontario."

Dedicated, Wednesday Oct. 13th, 1966
by Mr Charles and Ola (nee Aberhart) McNutt of Calgary
HON. WILLIAM ABERHART 1878 - 1943
Founder of the Social Credit Party and premier of
Alberta, 1935-43, Aberhart attended Seaforth Collegiate Institute, 1893-98,
and later graduated from Queen's University. In 1910 he moved to Calgary
where from 1915-35 he was a high school principal. An ardent fundalmentalist
lay preacher he founded the Calgary Prophetic Bible Conference in 1918
to promote Bible study. His weekly religious radio broadcasts beginning
in 1925 won him a large audience. In 1932 he became interested in the
Social Credit movement, and promoted its doctrines in his broadcasts.
Convinced of a need for monetary reform, he organized the Social Credit
Party in 1935. His party won the election that year and he became premier.

Why William Aberhart
Was Not Buried in Alberta
The Reason circulated
by popular media and biographers as to why William Aberhart was not
buried in Alberta and back in Calgary in particular is as follows.
That Mrs. Jessie Aberhart was so distraught by the critical and sometimes
vicious treatment of her husband by some Albertans that she refused
to have
him buried in the soil of Alberta where so much unhappiness took place.
The
True Reason Is:
Mrs. Aberhart was quite ill
in hospital when her husband died, and for a few days after. Moreover,
other unhappy illness in the families of the two daughters
in Vancouver, also made travel by the families back to Alberta impossible.
Note the following quote from a report of the
funeral given at the Calgary Memorial Service held at the Prophetic
Bible Institute five days after the
Vancouver funeral: ( Principal Cyril Hutchinson )
" At first it had been hoped that we could have brought him
here where so
many of you have loved him, but due to the fact of Mrs. Aberhart's
illness,
and an unhappy combination of circumstances and illness in the homes
of other members of the family, this wish had to give place to necessity.
The service was consequently arranged to take place in Vancouver."
Other circumstances included the fact that both
of Mrs. Aberharts daughters
lived in Vancouver at the time and planning to reside with them, Mrs
Aberhart
wanted to be close enough to the gravesite to visit it. She felt to
transport
the body of her husband back to Alberta for a state funeral most of
the family
could not attend, and to return the body to Vancouver for burial was
an expense she did not want the taxpayers of Alberta to bear.

Voices of Prairie People

I remember Mr. Aberhart
very well. I never met him, but he was something else again.
He really was. People of Alberta today, well, they just know
him as a name, a religious fanatic. He wasn't that at all.
He was a good man, a man who wanted to do the best he could
for the poor farmers, and all the poor people of Alberta.
.....But one man even
with his ideas couldn't fight the Depression, which was all
over Alberta. People were literally starving in some places,
and kids were not going to school because there was no shoes
and warm clothing for them. That is a fact of life. I knew
it personally.
But what Mr. Aberhart and his Social Credit did was give us
hope. He said he'd get us out of this mess an we believed
him. I guess we had to. What else was there to believe in?
Crop failures, and burned out, and rusted out and no money
coming in, because a farmer couldn't get enough money when
he sold his wheat, or barley to pay for the cost of growing
it. It was bad on the farms, and remember, oil hadn't been
discovered yet in Alberta, so it was all farming, mostly,
and people living in cities and towns and living off the farmer.
If the farmer didn't make any money, well, it is easy to see
that the people in the city wouldn't be doing any good at
all.
Mr. Aberhart was
a young man from Ontario who came to Alberta, and he was a
very fine schoolteacher and was made a principal of a school.
He was a religious man too, and he preached
on the radio every week. There were a lot of people in the
province who had radios by that time. Mr. Aberhart's program
was called 'Back To The Bible Hour' and it was broadcast over
CFCN Calgary, I think it was at three in the afternoon, and
most people listened to him. It was a religious program, but
after reading about Major Douglas and his Social Credit program,
Mr. Aberhart took up his ideas and started mixing religion
and how to run the country in the program. I don't think he
asked for money, but somebody had to pay for the radio program,
so people would send it in. My father would send in a dollar
bill now and then. And then out of all this, there was more
money than needed, and people in their letters would say that
he was the leader to help us beat the Depression.
Gradually, it came clear
to Mr. Aberhart that the people were sick and tired of the
United Farmers of Alberta trying to run things, and the politicians
in Eastern Canada, and we better do something about it. That's
how it all started, and being religious they never called
it a political party. They called it a movement. That was
a much better word. It sounded more...well, more like it was
a holy thing.
I think it was in '34
when Mr. Aberhart came to Taber to speak. There were a lot
of United Church around there and a lot of Mormons and a few
Catholics, but everybody showed up at this meeting. It was
my fifteenth year and I didn't know squeak about politics,
but I went with my mother and dad, being the oldest. My goodness,
what a thing! There must have been five hundred people at
his meeting that night. They knew that they'd never get that
many in the hall, so that men started taking out the folding
chairs so there would be more room for standing. And you know
what? By the time it was meeting time there were about a thousand.
In that little town, that little district.
Mr. Aberhart came down
the road in a big car, and when he got out, a big man with
a round face, a cheery man, everybody clapped and cheered
and yelled. They almost roared. You never saw the likes of
it. It was about fifteen minutes before he could get to the
platform, because everybody, every blamed person, wanted to
see him, touch his coat, you know.
When the meeting started,
he could hardly talk for the cheering. He had a marvelous
voice, a beautiful voice, and his speech just rolled out,
and everything he said made sense. That was Mr. Aberhart.
Nobody there except a few, I guess, knew what he was saying
was not going to work. We just wanted somebody to say that
he had a plan to make things better. That he could do it and
he needed our help. That was what he was saying. With our
help and God's help Mr. Aberhart could make Social Credit
work.
My father told me later
he knew Mr. Aberhart's Social Credit would'nt work. Ottawa
and the politicians wouldn't let him make it work, but that
wasn't why Dad voted for him. He said he would even vote for
a talking telephone pole if he thought the pole would give
people hope. That it would give them some confidence in themselves
and what they did best, growing wheat and giving themselves
and their families a good life and in a God-fearing way.
Well, in that country
nobody understood much of what he was talking about - the
Social Credit money theory, what they called 'Funny Money'
in the newspapers - and I'll say this, he didn't harp on it
too much. But even is people didn't understand, they understood
the man behind these words. He was telling us there was hope.
That it wouldn't always be like this.
When he said he'd realized
that something had to change, he told us about the thing that
changed his mind completely, and he said that's why he was
up on the platform. He said one of his students a couple of
years before, in high school, had become so desperate about
the way things were going, with his life and his family, and
the people in his town, the hardship, the despair we all felt,
that he saw no future in his life, and he hanged himself.
That shook everybody up. A young man committing suicide, and
that was the most terrible thing to do in those days.
People came out of that
meeting and they talked about Mr. Aberhart for days and weeks.
There was no doubt about how most people would vote, and on
voting day it showed up right there. The Social Credit got
what is called a landslide, and here was Mr. Aberhart and
now Mr. Premier, and he didn't know anything about about politics
and government. He was just a good and kindly man, and you
know what? When his days were over, he didn't die rich. He
didn't even die wealthy. He died just like an ordinary school
principal and preacher like he was.
Oh they talk about him.
They say he was a fool. You know, a dreamer and a madman and
a fool and a phoney, but he wasn't. He went across the grain
and he did a lot of things wrong, but in my heart I know that
everything he did, was for the good of the people. You, me,
everybody. He failed of course. The Supreme Court in Ottawa,
those Tories and Liberals, they wouldn't let him put his money
plans into use. But a lot of us, in our seventies and on up,
we carry Mr. Aberhart around with us in our hearts.

78: 1-8
In Tribute to the Life of
William Aberhart, his accomplishments, and the
great opposition he endured for the sake of his faithful calling.

"Give ear, O my people,
to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will
open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old;
Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
We will not hide them
from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises
of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works he has
done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed
a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should
make them known to their children:
That the generation to
come might know them, even the children which should be born;
who should arise and declare them to their children. That they
might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God,
but keep His commandments:
And might
not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation;
a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit
was not steadfast with God."
