John lived in a time when most of the national concerns were military, athletic and sensuousness. Enemies surrounded the free world and constantly threatened its borders. The downtrodden and impoverished actually outnumbered the affluent, but the wealthy owned the military ' and police. Military power took first priority on human lives and money. The Army forbad the teaching of history, philosophy,, politics, metaphysics (theology), and physics because the Army said they were subversive. Academic institutions assumed that if men had more knowledge they would not build weapons and create the terrible devastations of war. "Manhood" was measured by brute strength, and compassion was a sign of weakness. "'Womanhood" was proved by seduction, and. emancipation was proved by disregard for moral restraints. Drug addiction (Mostly ethyl alcohol), licentiousness and greed were warping human lives. Suicide, child abandoninent and thievery were common. Homosexual marriages were a matter of law and life was cheap. Kids had only contempt for authorities over them, and adults had only contempt for authorities over them. People who called for religious discipline were considered fanatics, and religious organizations knew they could not have meetings which conflicted with the athletic or Military. Some people were even branded traitors for saying that the Roman Government would not last forever. In that sordid, frantic, immoral, mixed-up world, St, John dared to declare that there was hope, joy, peace (Rev. 21;3-4). He spoke of a Kingdom of strength, morality, purpose, love and Eternal Life (17;14), He warned that it would be hated by the establishment and avoided by the . cowardly (13;6-'7). But he promised, "Be faithful unto death" and there Would be a Crown of life (2:10). Did someone knock at our door? (3120), MARK YOUR CALENDAR Thursday, Nay. 19th 8:00 P.M.

The Auburn Baptist Church will have been opened 62 years ago on November 20 and continues to hold services every Sunday. The Baptist members had previously worshipped in a church on the Baseline before coming to the village having been lofted. in 1860.

This church was provided with seats of sawed pine lumber with a suitable back rest a great improiiement to benches of wooden slabs, The official opening of this church was December 20, 1868.

Pox of Toronto graciously accepted to be present to lay the cornerstone.
