STRENGTHEN THE CHURCH
In an Ontario town a contest in
public speaking was held for pupils
of the High School Entrance class,
on the subject. "An Ideal Town." The
judges of the contest criticized one
pupil. because his ideal town had no
church in it. The error alight have
been attributed to school -boy thought-
lessness, but nevertheless it was a
revelation of a lack of church con-
sciousness due to a lack of religion
in the boy's home,
There is a tendency to crush
Christianity out of our land and out
of the consciousness of its citizen-
ship. When a Canadian comprehends
the Nazi threat to the national and
Political structure of a democratic
society, he finds that the last bul-
wark against enslavement is found
within the spirit of Christian faith.
It is not difficult to conceive of alien
forces and ideologies supplanting or
destroying religious freedom but it is
also possible to destroy the Christian
morale by neglect of Christian op-
portunity as offered in each commun.
ity. The rising generation ehould not
become a threat to the future of the
church through an absence of church -
mindedness. In answer to the ques-
tion, should the church halt or re-
treat, the poet, Charles Sumner Hoyt,
replies—
"No! Rather strengthen stakes and
lengthen cords,
Enlarge thy plans and gifts, 0 thou
elect,
And to the Kingdom come for such
a time 1
The earth with all its fulness is the
Lord's.
Great things attempt for Him, great
things expect,
Whose love imperialis, whose power
sublime."

EXPENSES
it cost a service club $131319 to col -
sect $22,344 for the soldiers at a Tor-
onto carnival, and a paper commeuls:
"Maybe it would be a lot cheaper to
let the goverment buy what it
needed out of tuxes."
At any rate, the public must have
been informed what the expenses
anointed to, however high,
it is unfortunate, but nevertheless
true, that Lions clubs in our Local-
ity, do not give any public account-
ing of their expenses in raising
funds.
Neither is any accounting given to
the public to show how their funds
have been spent.
