Considerable •conftmsion exists hi the minds of many people as to the duty of the Christian Church in time of war. One thing ought ,to be •kept clearly in mind, that the chief task of tihe Church, either in times- of war or peace, is to bear 'witness to spir- itual values. In times like the pres- ent when might and pdwer have been invoked for the settlement of • inter- national problems, it becomes an urg- ent duty of the Church to bear testi- mony to the limits of force, for in such times this truth is in grave dan- ger of being obscured, It is true that Christians differ as to what these limits are. Some would allow• no place to force in the service of God's ;purpose, Others, while re- oognizing that force at best is only a temporary and negative instrument, believie that it may also be a very "neeessiery at times• in the service' of God and humanity. • What the Church needs to emg'hasiae is• that force is limited in that it cannot' Settle any of the ultimate issues. If righteous- ness and justioe are our true objec- tives, these are spiritually condition- ed moral values,, and can only be made effective by spiritual means: They may be temporarily preserved, by force, but' in the last resort their abiding victory must be of God. A society, however well organized', which is based an force and inain- tatned merely by it, carries within, itself the seeds of dissolution. The highest ends -of ,,the individtiTal and society depend for their reallzatiotl on free r'ea?pense to the appeal of spiritual values•. ThUs b truth im- iportaan:t at all times, becomes even more important in times like these, "Net by might, nor by power, •but by my Spirit, said: the Lord of Host," J. LIONS POOL NOW CLEANEDARREADY FOR SWIMMERS Improvements At Park In- clude New- Parking Area and Lights. ARRANGE CLASSES After a six week delay caused by continued rains, the Seaforth Lions peal was' opened for the season on, Monday. Se high was the river that the park committee found it neces- sary to use a large capacity pump to handle water which the drains were, unable to take away. By working continuously from Friday to Monday the oom;mittee was able to have the pond cleaned and filled again with fresh water by Monday night. About thirty cubic yards of dirt was removed from the • pool and trucked to the rear of the park. • • During the pant few weeks a num- ber of changes ,and imprdvements harp been completed at the park.
