GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, MAY •10, 1973 -PAGE $A REV. D.L. ROYAL Knox Presbyterian Church church is the scapegoat ay! Most critics look at it organizational sense, than through the efforts individual Christian. In hen these same critics "a tried-and-true an" they never believe /she represents the very Chntthetty.

The is an institution one -of - It cannot operate as do When the Gospel is ed and imbibed the • is born and prospers. The Word goes out to in- dividuals. Who can dare say that everyone in a church building on a given Sunay will react in the same way They respond corporately, ranted, to the items in the Ord of Ser- vice, but they leave e edifice as individuals. They ,o to their homes; on Monday 'e par- ticipate in their businesses; they are like vessels into which water is poured - the Gospel will take its own personal form in them. Each mother will react differently to the needs of her children; each businessman will go about his calling in an unique fashion; each Sunday School student -will play his part, in his own way, according as the Word has entered into his conscious existence. The thesis I am pounding home, or, at least, trying to make a point about, is that the church, as an organization in a community, is not as n'er-do- well as some think. It is necessary to look at individual lives and assess them in the light of Christ's teaching. Do they love one another in the Christ -like sense? Do they seelt .to serve one -and -all in the com- munity? Do they show the vir- tues of patience, generosity, purity, thoughtfulness? Or, do they not? Are the lives of so- called Christians a bad ex- pression of the Gospel instruc- tion? It must always be in terms of Jesus Christ. It is not a case of intellectualism, or even broad intelligence, but one of Faith. Can Jesus do for me what He.promises? The writer maintains He can! He can save us from lostness and open up an entire new way of life. Paul once said that he had "the mind of Christ." This could mean that he saw things through the eyes of Faith.' A modern expression states that, "God and I make a majority." The individual counts. It- is to him/her that the Gospel ' is aimed. The institution becomes a gathering of individuals. They feel their strength and their oneness in the Holy Body we. call the church. But, ,simply stated, the church -ins -action - is the church working through in- dividuals in a given area, im- pelled by Faith, and the desire to serve God and man. Perhaps the critics will take a high, new look at the church. An Open House' Tea was held for Mary Elizabeth Walden of ertisement Published By rborn Steel Tubing Mfg. Company (Canada) Ltd.

My name is Barb God- dard. I go to Victoria Public School. I am in the publicity group in electives and I visited all the classrooms in the Primary Division to get news and this is it. When 1 visited Mrs. Walter's class, they were studying things from long ago like antiques, dinosaurs and other things from ancient times. I visited Mrs.Stephen's room and ti they, were studying birds that spent the winter holidays in the south and came back to spend the summer holidays with us. Mrs. Finlayson's clash" was popping pop corn to make a tree with blossoms on it. When I went to Mrs. twaan's room, the chicks had all gone to homes except one but it was going home on Friday and they were finishing up their diaries. Mrs. Cory's room was making BIG flowers with crayon, then were going to put a pastel wast' over them. They also had been discussing spring flowers and gardens as well as bugs, worms, toads, snakes and bees. Finally I visited Mrs. Fisher's room and they had been talking about birds. They were also reading and writing stories and painting pictures about birds. Here is a story that Paul -Raymont wrote about "THE BIRD THAT LOST HIS SONG." "Once' there was a little bird. He looked under the trees. But still he could not find his song. He looked and looked but he forgot-h,e--had a. cold, So every, day he had lots of rest and very soon he was better. So then he had his.very own song back and - he lived happily ever after." ' David Smith wrote, "THE TIGER AND THE WIND". "One day the toy tiger said to the wind, "Will you let me out of this toy box?" The wind blew the toy tiger up into the tree where the birds are." The elective groups are still busy working on the Tom Sawyer Operetta. Some of the groups have completed their - work. The publicity pupils have finished their posters so watch for them in stores around town. Next they will be selling tickets for the two performances of Tom Sawyer on May 29, 30 at „ 7:30. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! parents Mr. and Mrs. Fred Vassella. Mr. and Mrs. Ewen MacLean spent Sunday with his brother Mr. and Mrs. Allan MacLean of Collingwood.

St. Andrew's Bell Ringers Gordon Leggett's unusual choir will appear at St. George's The St. Andrew's Bell Ringers from Wingham, under the direction of Gordon Leggatt, will provide • special music in St. George's Church at the 11 a.m. service on Sunday, May 13th.
