United Church Services Fine weather on Sunday last, en­ abled a record number to attend Sunday School and worship on Sun­ day morning and an encouraging number in the evening. At the morn­ ing service at Hensall United Church Rev. Mr. Brook took his text from Deuteronomy, chapter 4, verse 6, to develop the theme, "Has Religion a Place in National Life?” The thought was expressed that a nation that calls itself Christian should be more than Christian in name, Both Govern­ ment and Church should work co­ operatively to make it easy for all citizens to follow that which is good and to keep the statutes of God. In all international contacts, no con­ tacts or transactions should be en­ tered into that did not manifest a, true Christian attitude and foster the spirit of good will and mutual understanding. A Christian vnation could not afford to be compromising or fearful of vital issues nor be guil­ ty of duplicity in dealings for com­ mercial or economic gains. The evening theme was "The Onward March of Truth”, and was an at­ tempt to answer the often-heard query, "Why does not God stop the War?” The choir rendered accept­ ably fine anthems at both services.
