of a generation ago who could

like it.
As a member of a university
group studying current events,
he said one person had told
how the church in Russia had
met in 1917 and spent three
days in discussing whether or
not the priests should ‘vcer a

part of the service, while out-
side, born out of the hunger
and hopelessness of the peo-
pie, the revolution was begin-
ning which was nearly to
sweep away the church which
didn't notice it,
Mr. Lewis said the church
union should, move by discus-
sion, persuasion arid agree-
ment, not, by vote, "A vote
coerces the minority and this
move toward. understanding
must move by the spirit and
not by coercion".
Presents good reason
Speaking at James Street,
Mr, deVries said the diversi-
ties within Christianity are rea-
sons why people do, not be-
come Christians.
• "When some one gives as his
reason for not being a Chris-
tian that a great many profes-
sing Christians are persons of
unworthy character, he may
be perfectly sincere; but his
reason is much more plausible
than logical", he said.
"When another man states
the diversities within Chris-
tianity for his standing out-
side, he comes much nearer
the heart of things, and. can
make if he pleases, a strong
appeal to the Master Himself."
He said this man could state
his case something like this;
Jesus Christ came, according
to Ilia own statement, to found
a. society which was to consist
of Ms loyal disciples, the men
who believed and obeyed Him.
He was to be their Lord, they
were to he His servants; they
were to be separate from the
world. and to be united in
Him. They were to practice
certain rites together and have
common worship, They were
to help one another, defend

Huron EMO Co-ordinator T. M. MacDonald sees
Huron'highways 4, 21 and. 8 congested with traffic in
the event of a nuclear attack on Canada.
He says Huron should "be prepared to receive
thousands of people from the metropolitan areas and-
to send personnel, food and clothing and equipment that
is available to these areas,"
"Those of us who survive have the task of en-
suring that Huron county is an adequate reception area

"Now what should he done
at the outset in Huron County?
We must resolve a plan, a plan
to be prepared to receive
thousands of people from the
metropolitan areas and to send.

able to these areas. Regardless

ing the metropolitan areas to

ties such as ours. *We must
have a plan at all levels of
government.
"The next thing that we must
do is to establish a system of
warning in order that all of us
know that an emergency is
about to exist, This is so that
we can turn on our radios and
listen for authoritative instruc-
tions for our Warden, from our
Premier or our Prime Minister,
"The third thing that we
must do at the outset is to
establish a good system of

As part of a movement to
develop greater understanding
between Anglicans and United
Church persons, Rev. Bren de-
Vries and Rev. Ernest Lewis
exchanged pulpits in their
churches here Sunday.
Speaking at Trivitt Memorial
church, Mr. Lewis quoted Bi-
shop Wilkinson in explaining
the purpose of the exchange.
The bishop told the Empire
club in Toronto that "the pri-
ntery need for reconciliation
is among the Christian commu-
nions and the Christian people
of the world, if the Christian
churches cannot achieve a
greater measure of Christian
unity, and, by the Grace of
God, ultimately the true unity
of the Church, how can the na-
tions of the world achieve unity
and accord?"
He pointed out before 1910
the story of the church was a
story of "division after divi-
sion, separation aftre separa.•
(ion," but said that several
reunions and mergers had ta-
ken place in countries through-
out the world since that time.
"Most, I suppose, agree with
the idea of reunion", he said,
"but when one begins to think
what kind of union it would
be, what would it me-an to the
church as we know it, we have
all sorts of doubts and .misgiv-
trigs".
Mr. Lewis stated that one
thing people fear is size—fear
of being absorbed into some
larger group and losing one's
own distinctive identity. "No
one likes to think of their own.
ways and. values being voted
out of existence",
lie also pointed out that peo-
ple would fear losing religion
as they have learned to know
it. and experience it best, and
also fear that in a great all
inclusive church, religion would
be reduced to a common deno-
minator, se thin that it would
be a "mile wide and an inch
deep".
Be stated that this would not
have to he the case, as "size
need not, result in shallow-
ness".
"The union churches in all
those countries of the world
mentioned have had a new in-
terest doctrine — they have
had an earnest time sorting
nut the weightier matters and
this is a continuing process",
he added,
Mr, Lewis also stated that:
unity need not spell out uni-
formity. "There should never
he any need to regiment all in-
dividual churches to some nar-
row pattern".
He told. the Anglican congre-
gation that thinking about
church union should be done
