Thank you, Mrs. Vi Altman Publicity Dir. Anniversary Program One question Dear Editor, In the sermon on your "Church Page" today, the statement is made: "Early Church Councils hammered out statements of religious truth, and the main- stream of historic Christianity has stayed within the boundaries of those doctrines all of these years." He also referred to "lack of historic perspective" on the part of those he criticized. In referring to "Councils" he failed to ,name the one where the doctrine of the "Trinity" was "hammered out". The Council of which H.G. Wells said: "It forcibly crystalized the controversies of two centuries and formulated the creed upon which all the existing Christian churches are based, was one of the most disastrous and one of the least venerable of all religious gatherings. The systematic destruction of all heretical writings by the orthodox, had none of that quality of honest conviction which comes to those who have a real knowledge of God. It was a bawling down of dissensions that, left to work themselves out, •would have spoiled good business." Constantine, who called that council, the Pagan emperor of Rome, took the lead in this because he wanted a united empire at any price. The Encyclopedia Britannica, under "Corruptions of Christianity" states: "The people were often disposed to fancy that the priests could serve God in there were mysteries in religion which the priests understood, but which the laity need not kn anything of and ought not inquire into." While this may be a prevalent idea today, remember this was one of the corrup- tions of Christianity. (2 Thessalonians 2:3) Where, really,.does the "lack of historic per- spective" lie? Sincerely yours C.F. Barney Write a letter to the editor today! Dear Readers.... • from page 4 decisively. They must stop the pain in . an ar- thritic ankle, cease the crying in a colic baby, dismiss the worry of a hysterical woman, soothe the anguish of a• dying man. All this and more a doctor must be to his patients .... and a pauper besides. For while doc- tors are often required to give up their homes and their families and their privacy for their patients, they are just as often made to feel ashamed of their right to charge for services • rendered, or much worse, ridiculed for the substantial monetary rewards doctors generally enjoy in relation to the income of their patients. + + + As patients, we should all examine our attitude toward the doctors of this community. In this age of instancy, have we come to expect a doctor's attention on a moment's notice? Do we tend 'to exaggerate our ills? Do we honestly rate our medical problem according to where it fits into the scale . marked worrisome, bothersome; dangerous and urgent? Are we inconsiderate of our doctors? Of other patients, some of whom might be sicker than we? Do we rush , to the emergency department at the hospital in order to force the doctor to see us? Or do we use the emergency department as we should ... in case of emergency only? Do we restrict our visits to the doctor to need? Or have we developed a habit of seeing the doctor at the slightest twinge? Have we learned anything from previous visits to the doctor? Do we bathe a fevered child and administer aspirin and fluids• before calling the doctor? Do we take a hot bath and go to bed for an hour to treat a tension headache before we panic? Do we endure that backache for a day or two, administering the tried , ad proven remedies • frorfi the medicine cabinet, before concluding we have two slipped discs and are in need of an immediate xray? Do we follow the doctor's advice once we have seen him? Or do we stop taking the pills. Neglect to fill the prescription. Slip off the diet. Lift too much too soon? Do we argue with our doctors, insisting we know better what ails us? Do we make unreasonable demands, asking for drugs we don't -need or treatments that are not indicated? Dr. Lynch is right. People in Goderich and district can do a whole lot to make life more bearable,for the doctors now in town ..., and to attract and hold new doctors to assist with the workload. We can all help". Everyone of us. Let's do it.

KELLER The people at the Energy Conservation Centre are hoping citizens will find an up- coming Energy -Alter- natives Tour a novel and exciting idea. The tour will Visit 15 locations in the district including 11 homes where special energy conservation measures are already being utilized effectively. The tour is scheduled for Saturday, September 9 between 10 am and 4:30 pm.

"The purpose of this tour is to help people learn about how solar energy, wind power, wood heating and energy conservation are being used now in actual homes in Huron County," said Donna L.

Tickets will cost $5 for adults and $2.50 for children under 12. Children six and under will be free. Participants on the tour will be responsible for their own transportation.
