Live in Unity, Speaker Says WROXETER-The junior and intermediate choirs occupied the choir loft in the United Church on Sunday. They were directed by Mrs. Edwin Martin. The juniors sang two an- thems, "Songs of Joy" by Mer- edith and "Whisper a Prayer" by H. G. Tovey. The latter se- lection was in two-part har- mony. Rev. F. Taylor based his text on, "God hath made of one blood all the nations of the world." He said it is easy to have hatred and prejudice if we look at social positions. We must see people as children of the Heavenly Father to see how He feels. God made all colors of men. He loves all. We must smash the windows of prejudice. Mr. Taylor said that some countries are being led by God in their own way, but missionaries must go to them with the Gos- pel. God wants all nations to live in unity and brotherly love as one great family. Differ- ences should not cause divi- sion. One white soldier stated, "I lost my race prejudice when a negro soldier saved my life on the battlefield and nearly lost his life in so doing." L.O.L.
