THE PRESBYTERIAN ADVANCE FOR CHRIST And Peace Thank-Offering • Along with almost every other branch of the Christian Church, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, recog- nizes the need of a spiritual advance- ment and revival in the period of re- construction' that is necessary after the destruction of war, Not only have material things been destroyed, but many of the moral and spiritual values have been severely tested and serious- ly shaken, so that only those things which cannot be shaken, are able to withstand this time of testing and shall abide, As Christians, we believe that only the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ ,hall be able to weather the storm, for "Other foundation Can no man lay than that is laid which is Jesus Christ", For too long, the world has been attempting to build upon the smiling sand of selfishness, and self- interest and has ignored the teaching of the Golden Rule, Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." The Church lives to proclaim the Love of God and the Brotherhood of man, the principles of righteousness and justice, between nation and nation, between class and class, and between man and God, and these are the only things which can save the world from absolute destruction as the result of our own inventions. Let us not think that the eontribet- ing or the raising of a certain sum of motley for this purpose discharges all our obligation. It is true there is, and there must be, a financial objective but this is a Means to an end, rather than an tett in itself, arid while we must each do our part in this way, let us not lose sight of the great spiritual ideals of this movement, viz., that the world may be won for Christ, and that He may be exalted as King of kings and Lord of lords.
