WHY I GO TO CHURCH
(Thorold Post, Feb. 27, 1941)
I am a pastor of the flock of Christ.
A two -fold mission takes me to God's,
house:
To heed and carry out my. Chief's -
command',
When He bound up the failure's brok-
en heart:
"If thou dost love Me, Peter, feed My
sheep."
-So do I seek to give the people bread,
The Bread of .Life, to feed the starv-
ing soul.
My second task, a lesser one indeed:
To find my own saRaation as I seek,
To give the holy sustenance to those
Who are any* flock, for I ant one with
them,
And share their need, the liuni.ut
need :for God.
And as I do my God -appointed work,
Ihear, the cry, ss in the -lays of old,
Of "racketeer" and "hypocrite,"
which rings
And beats upon the ears of those who -
try
To do an honest labor honestly,
For still always, some will seek to
read,
Their, own soul's pages in the hearte
of all.
So, when I go to church, I pray that
these
.May seek to know the truth before'
they speak. 1
God has the remedy for all man's,
ills;
All men may find it in His House of
Prayer.
--War. G. 0. Thompson.
The Rectory, Georgetown, Ont. 1

The German Speaks:
This village has no, name. We wiped
it out,
Blasted its streets and razed its
dwellings low;
Its Wren we shot and'. drove a piteous
tout
Of little ones and women forth in
woe.
Dead is the husband, gaoled the child
and wife,
Down are' the walls and all the
place is dumb;
We have erased it from the book of
life,
And none shall speak its name in
years to come.,
History Speaks:
This village has a name which shall
for long •
Offer unyeil'ding witness to a deed
Of savage infamy and hideous wrong,
Born of a brutal and insensate
creed.
For years that title shall tell on, un -
tired,
That here the German mood,_ the
German shame,.
Was seen in essence and in clime ac-
qulred
An endless habitation and a canto,

1 the life of Jesus Christ, •who died
!that we might have eternal life; Dan-

to forsaking his God; Esther, who
braved the anger ,•of her ]ring, that
'h' miaM mead' for her people; Ad-
am and Five who sinned and who
were punished: by God for their dis
obedience, or any of the other storie
contained in Holy writ, compa•.
with which' there are no great

side you have yon taught them t

trouble to Hini and have you instruc
ted them in the thayght that Jesu
Christ is looking down and cares
thein, little though they are? iia
you taught them to thank God for Hi
goodness to them?'
Are you laying ymg• the foundation of

have net heard their parents

would break the commandment "Tho

Have •you, - as parents made it a
rule to take your family to church
or Sunday School thus proving` to
then that you are leading rather than
driving them to, the House of God or
de you belong to the class who say,
"Ant always glad when I get the
children away to Sunday School so 1
can have a rest?" There is a group
of parents even worse than that,
those who say, when some'child conies
to call for their son or daughter, "No,
John, the children are not going to
church or Sunday School - today. We
intend driving into -the county and,wiii

away from home on Sunday, not only

said "No, we do not have ` Sunday
visitors. Our friends understand-

that we go to church .on the Lord's

One can easily see the responsibil-

bring up their children. •

The foundation is therefore insecure.
That is just one of many instances
of houses, stores, bridges, and dams

is that iftimes many lives are loat

Crickets chirped, and from 'meadow

The slow notes male. Fireflies float-

As timothy tops swayed. One heard

Of a song in the moist air of night,

As if the dew had polished okl
chimes.

glad day
I shall forget vexations of the way,
That needs were often great when

Will not perplex me anymore at all.
A few short years at most, it may be
less.
I shall have done with earthly storm.

"GETTING YOUR SHARE OF

Hello Homemakers! Vitamins rare
of vital : importance in everything

that vitamins are given priority on

to nutrition experts, plenty of people

health and strength, because they do
not eat the right foods
