"Everyone for himself!", ordered the captain. The passengers and crew seized anything they could find to help keep them from drowning and lumped overboard. Finally, the captain, thinking all had gone was buckling on his life -belt and was ready to lump into the sea. He took a final glance around and saw the white, frightened little face of,,q boy - a stowaway. Without pausing to consider who was deserving or un- deserving, the captain took off his life -belt and buckled it round the boy saying, "I can swim, you take this belt." The heavy surf and huge waves tossed man and boy about. Finally the boy was tossed up on the beach, bruised but living. The captain could not survive In such a sea. The foaming surf was too much for him. The boy told his story to the other survivors and every heart was moved as the lad said, "He gave himself for me." That is the meaning of Christ's death on the cross. It was for us as individuals. We can receive the good of His death for us by faith. Ephesians 2:8,9.

She referred to a 1978 article written by Rev. Bruce McLeod for the United Church Observer in which he felt deep concern for the non- white residents of the City of Toronto. We tend to forget that people of different races and creeds in Canada have enriched our country by their own individual contributions; also that an "all -black Platoon" known as Runchey's colored Corps from the Simcoe County area fought for the British in the War of 1812-1814. The ability to live together is the challenge Canada can offer. Faith must be woven together if we as a country are to survive.
