Ritchie last Tuesday at St. An- drew's Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Ritchie described the changes brought about by the political situation in Africa. The African saw himself as a down- trodden man and .the only way of improvement was overthrowing the 'colonial powers to, achieve independence. New, self-governing countries have quickly emerged since World War II. In some, civil wars have errupted. Some have lost all their possessions and many have . fled to other regions. Some states are achieving political stability but at all levels there is a scarcity of skilled .manpower.

With the swift growth of the cities these_ have become the centres of domination. The filrhstrip "Sing the Glory of Africa", with its commentary, proved very interesting and in- - formative. Africa was a . great civilization hundreds of years ago. Outsiders invaded the con- tinent and took many people to slavery, sorrow' and death. Dia- monds were discovered in Africa and Europeans grew wealthy while the poor remained in poverty. Ghana was the first country to declare its independ= ence. Today freedom has spread across the Mand and Africans have found a way to make their new freedom beautiful. Africa is a great land, a land full of won- ders.

Comparison was made between the superstructure of a building in which every detail is of Ivital importance, and the building of a human character which requires equally careful consideration. God rewarded Solomon with not only wisdom,. but also health and wealth. e In the Sermon on the Mount,.
