Canadian children are taught to have divided loyalties. For a Christian. as for anyone. there can be no more confusing and dangerous situation than to have to be loyal t to two. often opposing, ideologies The results in our children are, from a Christian point of view, often catastrophic. Children forsake their personal belief and opt instead to put their faith in man and in reasonable men, or children opt to replace their parental religious guidance and their ultimate higher values of life by adopting a life geared to satisfying immediate desires. At best. and with the grace of God. the children might continue to value their personal con- victions inspite of the opposing influences in the school system. The danger is one that threatens our children,but the disobedience and the "responsibility for that disobedience lies squarely upon our shoulders as parents. The presence of. •this school system to which we have more or less unwittingly subjected our children is due in large part to our Canadian and American political system. The democratic system is one for which we are very thankful. but as any system it must be open to scrutiny and criticism. 1 would suggest that the religious injustice that we find in our divided lives and our one school system finds its roots in the basic tenets of our demorcratic system. so t e democratic way states; Northern exposure A slope facing north is ideal for a rock garden, especially if the incline is such. that the Sun in winter does not directly hit the soil and there is no thawing in very early spring. untha P g d, 4 faith and parts which have nothing to do with their faith. This core of Christians believes that this division of life into a neutral public sector and a religious private sector is Biblically unsound. "Education for their children," these parents say. "is as con- cerned with their beliefs as is the church and their home life." In spite. of the government's numerous protestations that allowing religion to be a major factor in the schools would be divisive. and inspite of the many practical economic arguments eg.. that numerous " sectariar school systems might have to originate m order .to satisfy the people of our country. these parents continue to assert that the government has -no right. to interfere in theright of the parent to teach his children a fully unified way of life. based on his own beliefs. • Those parents who today support the local Christian School feel that the interference of "' government in the area of education is the result of gross BANK FINANCE RATES USED CARS A number of 75's in Pontiacs, Chev Impalas, Pontiac Le Maas, Buick Century, Monte Carlos & Ford Custom 500 1974 FORD Galaxie, 2 door hardtop 1974 PONTIAC Parisienne Brougham, 4 door hardtop 1974 MAVERICK 3 -- 1974 FORD Custom, 2 door 1974 FORD Grand Torino, 2 door hardtop 1973 OLDSMOBILE, Delta Royale, air conditioning 1.913 CIIEV Impala, 2 door hardtop 2 —1973 PONTIAC Brougham, 4 door 1971 CAEV Impala, 4 door hardtop 1970 PONTIAC, 2 door hardtop 1970 DODGE Monaco, 4 door hardtop 10 — 1965 - 1968 Models 1974 FORD Stationwagon 1473 FORD Grand Torino stationwagon, air conditioned 1974 FORD % ton pickup w7aCREV 1 ton pickup 1Vl3 CTEV % ton pickup 1973 CHEV 4118 gelds with 18' van, power' tail gate loader 1 CREV 40 series, 18' shake, per' tali gate loader •R A amber at vase from 1979 • 19''!2.

The name Clinton and District Christian School suggests that the school is not necessarily associated with any ethnic group but is instead open to Christians whip wish to have,an education for their children which is in complete harmony with their Christian be1liefs.
