The special speaker 'was Rev, A. C. Eagle, B.A., R.D., of Ontario Street United Church, Clinton. Mrs. Jack Mc- Knight froth. the same church was guest soloist. At the morning service Mr. Eagle spoke on. the Subject, "Who's Re- sponsible", based on Exodus 32, 26 "Who is on the Lord's side." Just as Moses could find no one respon- sible for erecting and worshipping the golden Calf when he came down from Mt, Sinai, so irresponsibility is Still rampant' in the world to- day, Mr. Eagle asked the pertinent questions, "Who is responsible for two world ware? Who is responsible fel" the labour and financial troub- les to-day? Who is responsible for the lowering of moral standards and the. juvenile delinquency? Who is responsible for the shortage of teachers and ministers?" No one accepts these responsibilities, Just as. the Israelites of old, we have been worshipping falSe Gods and have failed rts Christian leaders, He then called upon the people to stand up for Christ and take re- sponsibility In the home, the com- munity andirthe church, In -the evening, Mr, Eagle told about "The Ideal Congregation" n8 in Acts 10„ 33, "Now therefore are we all present 'here before God, to bear all things that are command- ed of Grid." The first requisite was attendance; were there, the Whole congregation, no excuses, Ito absentees. Secondly, they emir) for one purpose only, to worship God, arid thirdly, they heard the word of God and its commandments, as spoken by the minister, The speak- er suggested that if these three rules were practiced by the church members or today, the ideal con- gregation might be Mote nearly reached, Mrs. Jack • McKnight, a TorMer member of, this choir sang three solos: "lie Stalled on Me", "Abide with 'Os" 'and "This Is God's Love."
