by a general approval, the world
' at large much prefers to deal and
do business with, people of
genuine Christian character and
principles, listed as the 'fruit of

Sodium and . Chlorine. When
these :-two elements are joined
together we have a rather
innocent material, but separated,'

vicious elements known to man.
Sodium is so acti,''e it must be
contained in kerosene to keep it
from catching ' fire, Chlorine,
when separated, is a gas.. I am
amazed how accurately our
Divine Chemist has related these
two elements ,-- to their spiritual
counterparts. The Cause of
Christ has suffered
immeasurably by Christians
whose zeal has broken away
from mercy, and run off into
legalism, to later fall victim to a
spirit of intolerance, and
criticism, while masses, on the -

satisfaction, why the church is
being ground under• the heel of
modern society.
Who does not know that
running throughout all _ .of
nature, both spiritual ,and
temporal, 'God has established a
balance. Our.. space age has
'''reireatedIVrertlielltatsf-gikweityrkt.neT
against thethrust of centrifugal
force. Nature exhibits it in. -the
balancing, process known as
"survival of the fittest",.
The church once stood before
the world, and society, jealous
for the word of God, courageous
to stand on the naked promises
of God, ready 'to expose to -
justice any who ventured to
trifle , with the authority. of,
God's word. Heretics were
brought to face,. and tried for
-their treachery. Where are their.
sons -to-day? ' Its not that the
forces of evil are any stronger
than. they , ever mere. To -day
there is at the disposal of the -
church all the mass media that
the enemy is using, enough to'
evahgelize our world in six
months, if that was the need,'
but it's not. Spiritual anemia is
the problem. A church stripped
of her faith and courage to take
God,atottia ward., is_in a sad state;
and seriously off ,balance. Little
wonder the world is. treading her
under its - feet. She has

and turned to flight the armies

Yes;.your church, my 'church,
and all the churches that
surround. us both, are here for
no other reason than to preserve,
and flavour society. It's not,the
world around us that claims to
be Christian, it's, you and me.
Therefore, it's not ' the world
that is ,commanded to keep the
Ten Commandments, nor the
Sermon on the Mount. The
world's only copyof the Bible is
your. life and ,deportment, and
mine. Are. we flavouring our
social environment with ' the
beauty of Christian living and
example, as well as declaring the
Gospel without 'fear nof•-•favor'?

More on memories of Colborne.
By Percy Barker
May, -I-salute ' Colborne with
memories untold -.-..... w
Where women are beautiful and
never grow old;'
So here's to Colborne Township
away back when
Women wore dresses and men.
were' men:
It started at a school house, yes
old number four '
And a little white church with
an open door;
They •were both built on top' of
the hills
Near farmers Kernighans, Slakes.
Breens -and Hills'.
They told me schooling was very,
fine,.
So I started, there in the year
Nineteen -O -Nine;
I, was 'put, 'of yes' in the very
front row
Because I was stupid' and rather
slow.
There ,is a little lake in the valley
• below •
Where at recess time we would
often go; -
With the help of-Sue;,'hytlis.and •-
dear -old Myrtle .;;c, -
We would try. to catch the old

Thoil:Wer'e"the' days s'o happy
and free
At, that grey school house under
the tree; '
We learnt a lot in that old school
roo ni
Though we never heard a fadio,
or a jet's• loud boom.
We would 'often pause at the
sound of'a whistle
As it drifted over the hills like
the -down of a thistle;
That' C.P.R. freight would roar
downgrade -
To Goderich where our best salt
is made.
There, were barn' ' raisings,
threshings, silo filling in
dern'and' -
Also quilting bee's, box 'socials,
barn dancing that was grand;
My first trip to Goderich was
with Mr. Moore
He was our mail man and often
.passed our door. •
Remember the old lake shore
railroad with it's gang of men,
Also Haley's Comet' in the year
Nineteen -Ten? u Q
We went, to school then, at old
number five
And to the old• swimming, hole
where we. learnt to dive.
Here's to Benniiller also Saltford
where they drilled for•oil
To Carlow, Nile, Shepllardton,
Dunlop and Loyal;
Where, ML John_. Young, the

And also 'peddled his wares from

This was Colborne in the dear
