Another report; "This is a new and up-to-date approach to the whole Bible story, I have learned as much from these lessons as I ever learned as a pupil, After several years con- tinuing in the new Curriculum, any young person should have a clear idea of what lie believes and be able to express his views to others. I feel strongly that teachers should be taught before they try to teach others. I am still groping my way through some of the interpretations of the United Church, I should have been better informed and had a clearer picture of my own faith before trying to pass It on to children. Teaching the new cur- riculum is a thrilling chal- lenge." Mr. Porteous, giving favor- able reports from Saskatche- wan, said; "There is something about this curriculum that fires people to get out and work." An appreciation of the day's study was given by Rev. Dr. M c K en z I e, Pine River, and thanks were extended the United Church Women of Victoria Street for a bountiful lunch.

PERSONALS Mr. Wilmar Wein attended the annual convention of School Area Boards in Guelph last Wednesday. Main St. N. Exeter (Next to Exeter Farm Equipment ) GOOERICH United Church ministers of Huron Presbytery and part of Bruce met here Thursday for a preview of literature prepared for the Church's "new curricu- lum" of Sunday school teaching. Material so far available has been used in a number of "test Schools," and the meeting heard some enthusiastic reports, The first few minutes of the session brought a criticism, however, that certain publica- tions had "not enoughChristian content," but "a lot of Nature and geography." Before the end of the meeting there were pro- nouncements on the theme of fundamentalism versus sci- ence. Rev, Ivor Williams, Niagara Falls, one of some 50 men and women who have worked on the new material, spoke after lun- cheon on a book for guidance of teachers of teenagers 15, 16 and 17, "If we are not willing to take the risk of breaking old patterns of thought," he said, "we are not willing to stand up for the truth for which a great multitude of people stands and in which we believe. We cannot go on teach- ing one set of principles in the pulpit and another to young people. "If a 90-year-old grand- mother thinks there is nothing the matter with a seven-day creation, we do not need to upset her, but it is a crime to try to make teenagers believe it. We do not think in the language of the 16th century or belong in that cultural world of the writer of the first chapter of Genesis, but we know what he meant, and can explain it today. ",When it is said that the whole world was flooded, they had no intellectual difficulty about it, but we have. No young person believes the world was created inseven days or in the way described in Genesis. But the proposition that Truth and God are one is fundamental." The meeting heard some in- teresting background of the new curriculum project from a Uni- ted Church Publishing House representative, Rev. Stewart Porteous, director of promotion and publicity. It learned that 19 different publishing concerns supply material to United Church Sunday schools. • "I picked up one from Il- linois," he said, "that had a his goals for the missionary work in Nigeria is to "even- tually turn over the managerial portion of the hospital manage- ment to the nationals." He is also optimistic about the radio work because he thinks this broadcast is "a good inroad into the life and homes of the na- tionals." Gingerich, son of Jacob and the late Pearl Gingerich, Zur- ich, is a graduate of Eastern Mennonite College, Harrison- burg, Virginia, and Toronto Bible College, Toronto. Prior to his missionary as- signment, Gingerich served as Sunday School superintendent and deacon at the Zurich Men- nonite Church, pastor at the Morningside Mennonite Church in Toronto, and chaplain at the Missionary Health Insti tu t e Chapel in Willowdale. Mrs. Gingerich, daughter of the late Joseph and Martha Frets, Kitchener, graduated from Ontario Mennonite Bible School, Kitchener, in 1938. In 1945, she received her RN de- gree from St. Mary's School of Nursing, Kitchener. Prior to her missionary as- signment, Mrs. Gingerich worked as a nurse atSt. Mary's Hospital, Kitchener, and super- vised and taught nursing at the Missionary H e al th Institute, Willowdale. The Mennonite Mission in Nigeria was founded in 1958. The 80-bed Abiriba Joint Hos- pital, Abiriba, was established in 1961 and just recently a rural health program has been set up by the hospital.

We are in a secular publi- cation business, The ctirricii- ItiM has been a major under- taking for 10 or 12 years, and more than $2,000,000 has to be invested. The money has come, for the most part, from our secular book publishing. We hope by January all the books will be ready for distribution. The least any Sunday school can do is look over the material, "It is an adventure of faith to publish 500,000 books next year without any idea how many are going to use them, and the prices are based on extensive use." Rev . Alex Coles, of Fordwich, convenor of the Huron Presby- tery committee on publications, was chairman of the meeting, which was attended by the Lon- don Conference president, Rev. Clifford G, Park, of Clinton; Rev. George Ball, of Ripley, Bruce Presbytery chairman, and Rev. W. J, ten Iloopen, thairman of Huron Presbytery. Following a film strip por- traying the process of preparing the curriculum material and the need it is designed to meet, the meeting heard an evaluation of the Sunday school papers, On- ward, Hi-Venture, Discovery and Wonder, by Harold Harris, Kincardine Sunday school su- perintendent. Rev. C, W. Lewis, Auburn, expressed the opinion that these had not enough "Christian con- tent," and found some concur- rence, Mrs. Arthur Jackson, Belgrave, discussed the guide for teachers of the senior de- partment, and Mrs, J, C. Brit- ton, Seaforth, reviewed the ma- terial for kindergarten pupils. Rev. A. F, Thrower, convenor of the London Conference publi- cations committee, reported on the reaction in "test schools." He mentioned SarniaandKings- ville, and described the reac- tions as "thrilling." "There has been renewed interest," he said and quoted one report: "This is not a cure- all, not a magic formula by which a teacher can present a lesson week after week with no effort. It does not make the teacher's job easier; in fact, those using it will possibly find themselves working harder than ever. It does make a better teaching job possible for those Be prepared with safe first aid that brings fast relief keep your medicine cabinet stocked with DRANASCS Alija?* OINTMENT DAY OR NIGHT PHONE 235-0360 SEMENVEMEREMEREEMENEEMENEMERBEINEESSEESSERIONONEMEREMEEMERESERESIMESEMERNEENIPVENFEBRAMMERREENZEZEMENE3RESEMIESSMER n for Wish ber and Builders' Supplies Ltd. renounce The Grand Opening Of Their Our new woodworking de- partment is under the su- pervision of Mr. Richard Worthington.
