Itnadreds of teenagers, 'To the shame or the- eongregation there had been no youth programme, at church since the. wan and; as a result, there were very young people in 'evidence 'when I. enlmared on the scene in 1954: The aging minister was too busy. to organize such a. prograimne and the parents • were engaged in the pogt-war .rae-race. In most cases: both 'father and mother bold etime- jobs and the youngsters were left to work out their ''Own 'salvation. There was a glaring need for planning which would challenge the finer quali- ties of these youeg•people and channel their .enthusiasm into constructive activities. With the new minister, in 1056, came h plans for a much needed change. It was to be 'my responsibility to orgauize a senior Bible Class ior the teenagers, The lirst year there were only four members, the second year Lateen, the third twenty five, and so the fellowship grew to its present membership of over filly, During those, six years Any best graduates have almost completely re-staffed our Sunday ,School, we have a large and excellent (their of teenagers and members Of the group are re- presented on, every Board and Committee of the uharel.L. ,.Last year our teenagers staged two outstanding plays and have trecontly adopted a refugee child in Hong Kong with the proceeds. In the spring they presented their one-act comedy for the entertainment of the Runnymede Hospital incurables and again to the hutients of Sunnybrook Hospital, and considered the transIormation front despairing to radiant faces a very ample reward for their efforts. During the summer they completely landscaped the ,Church grounds. At Christmas time they distri- buted food and clothing to the needy and flowering plants to the shut-ins of the community. During the Christmas holidays they re- painted the interior and furnish- ings of the. Church School room. Itecently, as members of the model Wilted Nations, our teen- tigers expressed well-reasoned convictions and viewpointe and at the Toc-Alpha coniorenee, tac:1;eled our thorny alcohol problem. in a seleutific, reasonable way that could shame many adults. Sonic of. the ,motist, level- headed comments I have heard on the integration questions .hsve come. from teenagers whose liVelY sense of justice is, outraged ley the narrowness of racial diperi- Til() young, people in our churches are tusling with, the problem of how to make ,religion relevant to everyday living with a zeal that every minister .covets for his adult church membership. Xes, of course, there 'are, as there always have been and will be, those unfortunate cases where youngsters are possessed of the devil, but thank God they are a 'vast minority. How very wrong it is, then, to stigmatize all our youth for the felonies of a few. Afterall, from this branded society must arise to-morrow's leaders or else we nave no future. My 'blood boils when I hear my loyal young friends labelled, "slob', or "punk" as it youth was a filthy d9seeee. As yet, UM* is a ray of hue shining through our righteous ludignetion it we can realize the graveness of the situAtion and ask ourselvesi soul-searchingly, "What am doing. about #1., Yours very truly Stuart Nichol NOTICE TO CREDITOilli ALL, PLR' SONS baying, claim" against the estate of Mara.
