Church Duty.
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,"

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

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.
