The Church has only failed when it has not forced people to deal with their feelings and to grow out of childish ways. It is terrifying to anyone who loves the Church to see the extent to which it has mollycoddled the petulent and peevish immaturity of people. People who have "been a member of the Church for 50 years", and still think like kindergartners in their spiritual life are the real failures of the Church. People who have "been a member of the Church for 50 years", and still operate out of a basis of fear, hate, or distrust, are the real failures of the Church. People who have "been a member of the Church for 50 years", and still pout like pre-adolescents when they can't have their own way are the real failures of the Church. Because, you see, the Church really can heal the souls of men. But that healing comes only by discipline and intentional loyalty to processes by which spiritual maturity and freedom are attained. The reason that the Church is too often full of those who are possessed by the demons of hate, fear, greed, lust, or suspicion, is that it has failed to hold people up against those stern and divine disciplines by which demons are cast out. The way of Life Eternal is not some easy, complacent, defensive stance of personal selfishness—even selfishness for Heaven. (Jesus was quite clear that you can't save your life by trying to save it!) The Way of Life Eternal is a way of submitting one's self to the mission of God's Eternal Word, which makes all the internal, psychological, defensive mechanisms useless and unnecessary. It is a way which makes the threat of death — or even worse for modern man, the threat of tithing — immaterial. If one must die — or tithe — to see the victory of God's Mission, then the question is simply, "How important is God's mission to the saving of his world?" We must be more afraid of failing God than of men. We must love mankind in God's name, not our own, enough to demand that people grow in grace, or face the realization that they have not accepted the freedom God gives. We must dare to be God's people, not merely conditioned creatures of a transient culture. Maybe we need a sign on the front of churches which reads: "Children OVER 18 not admitted"! WI annual Huron West District Annual of the Women's Institute will have Miss Helen McKercher of Toronto as their guest speaker on May 31 in the Londesboro United Church. The Londesboro branch will be hostess for this day-long annual meeting. Reports will be given and Mrs. Norman Coulthard of Stratford will give the report of F.W.I.O. and Mrs. Charles Munro of Embro, president of the London area, will bring greetings. Everyone is welcome and the morning session begins at 10 a.m. June 1 is Census Day. What's new with you? This is your chance to tell Canada who you are and how you're doing. Census day is almost like voting day. It's your right and privilege. Your chance to let Canada know all about yourself and your family. How and where you live. It's as secret as the ballot. All these facts become statistics. And many organizations use them to plan for our future. This is how governments know where to spend money for the most necessary things: hospitals, schools, housing projects, roads and highways, community centres, parks. For example, a high percentage of children under five in one section of your community may alert the board of education to the need for a new school. Or, districts with a high proportion of sub-standard housing may be identified and ear marked for urbal renewal and development programs. Things like that. It's a do-it-yourself census. Any day now, you'll receive your census qu estionnaire. The idea is that everyone in Canada must fill in that form on June 1, If a pre-paid return envelope came with the population census form complete the questionnaire and mail it back. If there is no envelope, don't mail it but hold the form until it is picked up by a census representative. This will probably be the first time you've ever had the chance to fill in your own census form. The old way of sending census takers around knocking on doors and asking you questions served a useful purpose in its day. But we've found, after many trial censuses, that people do a better job when they fill in their questionnaires themselves. If you are a farm operator. If you have a farm, the census representative will bring you the Census of Agriculture form along with the population census form. The extra information you give is important for government farm programs and farm organizations in the years ahead. Some time altar June I, the census representative will call on you to pick up the completed census forms. So don't mail them back. What happens if somebody doesn't fill in his census form? Everyone in Canada is required by law to be counted in the national census. If you don't bother, a census representative will have to come around and fill in your questionnaire with you. So, if you do it yourself, you'll save time and money for everyone. We need facts about you your family. Otherwise we won't have whole story. Give a few minutes to the Census of Canada. And Canada wilt give you a better future. It's your census. Everyone has the right to be counted. Everyone has the right to expect the information he gives to be treated in absolute confidence. And you can be sure that the information will be used for the good of all Canallans. So, don't forget. June 1. Tell us what's new. and the Count yourself Clinton Memorial Shop T.

Mrs. Franklin Zurbrigg presented her Christian Citizenship score card as a suggestion for a meeting. Another suggestion was Mental Pollution. Are you aware of it? and How do you cope with it? Mrs. Stewart Miner closed the meeting leaving us with a couple of questions on which to meditate, Are we in tune with God's voice? and if so, Have we the courage to early out God's instructions to us?
