Remethber Christian Unity weep
On Sunday the minister
treminded his
congregation that this is
the week of 'Prayer for
Christian Unity'. On a
morning CBC radio
program I had just
listened to the story of a
religious group in
California Whose so-
called Christian values
are far removed from
those I was taught I hope
that Christians will pray
not to unite with such!
The group's founder,
Armstrong by name was
able to persuade so many
people to send avxtenth of
their incomes -he even
urged them to borrow,
lyi.ng_. to their bankers if
necessary,_about the real
reason for their loans -
that he became far
wealthier than Billy
Graham's organization
and brazenly flaunted his
material possessions for
many years. His suc-
cessor is being in-
vestigated, for misap-
Fiasco turns to fun
The Bayfield Ever
Young senior ditizens had
to cancel their. pot -luck
lunch last week because
of the stormy weather;
however residents of the
Clan Gregor Apartments
carried on and, with all
residents' attending, the
casseroles, meats, pies,
cookies and cakes
crowded makeshift tables
providing a bountiful and
varied assortment.
When Clara Wilson was
called by an apartment
resident to be told that
the. official lunch was off,
she was so unhappy with
a big dish of spaghetti
and meat balls ready and
waiting that she and Reg
were. invited to come, if
they could make it and
they did.
Reg York, apartment
manager, brought his
wife from across the
road. Dorothy Brunsden
who had arrived home
the night before whipped
up a dessert and her
daughter Betty joined the
party bringing home-
made candy. Olive
Rivers was welcomed
back after eye surgery in
London. Altogether 20
were present. Cards were
enjoyed, during the af-
ternoty,k,-.,.arid again at
night.

propriation of the cult's
funds for his own ex-
travagances.
In sharp contrast, I
thought of Father
Abraham, the Jesuit
priest whom I first heard
at the United Church in
Brucefield some months
ago. Later he was in-
terviewed on Roy Bon-
nisteel's CBC program
'Man Alive'. This
remarkable Canadian is
a product of the St.
Francis Xavier
movement about which
many books and hun-
dreds of articles were
written. In Nova Scotia in
the thirties, Catholics and
Protestants in a trite
spirit of Christian Unity
worked together to plan a
Co-operative and Credit
Union • program for
poverty-stricken miners,
fishermen and farmers.
It was so successful that
the St. Francis Xavier
University was swamped
with visitors from all
over Canada, the USA
and abroad. They came
to learn from Father
Jimmy Tompkins, Dr.
M.M. Coady and A.B.
Macdonald, the leading
spirits.
Father Abraham grew
up in this area and these
men were his mentors.
He lives in India now. He
sincerely believes that a
small beginning made in
a small village will
spread to other villages
and has the potential to
start the evolution that
can be the salvation of
that country. He points
out that Christianity got
its start in a small way in
a small village. To be on
his mailing list and
receive his letters from
Saint Alphonsus School in
Kurseong, West Bengal is
a rare treat.
His last is a scathing
.commentary on what is
happening in our Western
world. He. had just been
reading 'Time' and
'Newsweek' and what he
saw there caused him to'
comment "I honestly
begin to wonder whether
I am out of my mind!"
Usually his letters are
full of the problems with
children in his school,
Lucknow to build school
The Lucknow District
-Christian School Society
has decided to begin
construction of a
Christian School in the
village in the spring.
The LucknoW Sentinel
reported that the society
will begin a fund raising
drive and a door to door
their hens and cattle,
their gardens, their
future when they
graduate, acquisition of
land so that they can
continue their farm life
instead of going back to
city streets etc..

The r�norning service
was opened with the
singing of three beautiful
,hymns, one being, "How
Great Thou Art."
Scripture reading and
message were taken from
Genesis 28vs. 12, "And he
dreamed, and behold a
ladder set up on the
earth, and the top of it
reached to heaven... "
The. ladder represented
the gateway to heaven.
There is one God, one
mediator between God
and man, which is the,;
Lord Jesus Christ and
through repentance and
acceptance Jesus Christ
is the ladder to heaven.
Special music for the
evening service was
presented by Cathy
Leppington, ,Jo -Anne
