Fk 1Iow- ing an unusually heavy rainfall, the base- ments of marfy hones in the town were flooded. The chickens were drowned. Highly disturbed, the man sought remun- eration from the town ,for damages., The man wrote the'ToWn (clerk and asked what he• sh'•'tld do about the chickens in the base- ment. The reply from the Town Clerk contained only two words: "Deep ducks."

So far, it •regarhlps :l " closed c ircuit " with only the ministers taking part. Possibly the time will coma. when persons in the congregation will be permitted to rise and make comments or ask questions regarding points in athe ser - "mon. However, the c•o-operative services for the _ Lenten season is a start to a two- way service. It could lead in ,trine „.• to general discussions, lestw.een the pulpit and the congregation.'The' sermon topics of Rev. G. G. Russell, ,as listed in an adver- tisement elsewhere in this issue of The Sigrfal-Star, have a Pierre Berton flavor, as, for example, the one scheduled for March 14th — "The Uncomfortable Pew". The sermons of Rev. W. J. ten Hoopen -deal with "The Church — The Redeemed ( •cl'rtrrttnrli+y 7 ' and "The Redeeming Com- •inunity." They could prove interesting. CADET TRAINING FADES For tire f irst t>ear in about four dec- adr's there will b4''11(1 annual inspection of the cadet corps at G.D.C.I. No cadet train- ing was commenced last fall, as is custom- ary, and there seemed to be no undue eon - cern On the part of the male students that cadet training was .not taking place. The reason given for the 2lisappear- ative of this annual event is the lack ,of Ik J for this purpose do not seem to include, to• any great extent, `thei nilit-ai' -'-training soars(. # . The cadet corps at G,Ii.C.I, has ,beets. env of the oldest in the province. Another old corps was at St. Thomas but.it is be- lieved that it, too, has now -fallen-by the wayside". Despite the dropping of cadet corps training at many- of the older high school's aiid .eollegiates in the province, ,uffieient qualified instructors o n t many new collegiates have been built in teaching staff to train. the cadets.. the interim and they have wholeheartedly This eould well be ,the situation again next gone in for this.

Ministerial Assoc. WHAT ,TRANSLAyES RELIG- ION INTO REALITY 4 • By Rev. A. G. Pease,Bo field Y United Church. John 9 3 ---Neither is 'ar 1tattth this nnor man smile `- h . -.t _..- p• elnts,'bu• t that .the .works of god tsliould be ,macre m,anirfest, in hint. In the:later parka the.eightth chapter of John,'S gospel there Ls a fascinating •diarogue. Jesus is teapltinig in, the temple, He is questiilnedabout eternal liife. The answer he gives them' is so revolting that they are ready to stone 'hitn. Jesus uses a play on words. The "I am" (being the .literal , translation of the ancient Hebrew word for God. Jesus is saying that the on- going purpose of Gad its here and meaningful lin himself. The disciples are shaken by Jesus saytiiig this, but they are honest with themselves. When they see the blind Man they ask the question of the text. This is the question which the situation demands and it. en-, able9 Jesus to translate religion into reality. lif we •are going to translate aur s religo_n -,into ° reality and -maks kit a living--a-nd 1rneani ful thing for .us, we must ask• the questions of it ,that the situ- ations .of life in which we .find ourselves ,demand we ask. The essence of the Christian faith is that man can know and understand God lin the person and' work of Jesus. To know ;s to enter into dialogue. The God of the Bible is never a God who says, "I'm up here, you are down there, you shut p. The prophets of. the Old Teat- ' ament never ,saw the covenant renewed by a return to Gad but by. a. ,new experience of God. Our experiened off "God' is ronly deepened and broaden- ed and we "are led onward only when We recognize- the situations in which we find ourselves. Religion i.s `often a dead issue.be'caus•e we war natl. relate otl- relate it to the real situation. When it is (related td the real! situation. then rit " •comes alive. We will not ask the, questions of our faith that will enable it to come alive for us. Some- times if we would he Honest writ,h_ours•elves five don't want answers for we are afraid OT -i - What they might be. The spiritual dialogue oil .many a soul is reflected in they old words 'of the Kimgfish in Amos and Andy of years gone by. The Kingfish is quarreling. with his wife and in the^ midst If ever liguarrel e to von?" he shouts, "Did and without "ii'ing her time to answer =shouts, "Hold on, don't answer that one." The honest concrete belief ,of many of us is reflect- ed in the. verdict of the jury, ;nvestigating a death, who made the report, "We findthat, this man's death was an act of God, under very suspicious circum- stances." A cut and ,dried religion with all the answers is' a dead re- ligion. D. is dead because it is only related to the east. Life as it - eonfront.s., us from day to day is God confronting- us. • . Life is sometimes .busy, anetimes diseottr•agintg, seine times 'difficult, sometimes &sap- poi:ntiug and sometimes too .real for 'comfort 'itf yiou, believe In a . G.od of love., Are; :we as Chris- tians „poking, , thte questions of each----situation--that- t our _ Jfaitlt,_ Gletnisn•dis we' ,:ink. of it? If we ri<t+e- not, then:they, are , not al lows dd to be the voice of God speaking to, us. AA .oid tsayting goes,. "If you. can keep your head whreit . everybody •else is losing theirs you jtuit a don't understand the . situation." This is too otflten true •pf our faith. We never get excited enough about the que.tions life asks us of it to seek answers. 'It is only when iVe ask these ques- tions, that we are led into new ground and to new adventure of the spirit. Jesus told his -cliociples that God was there and- at work but it was only known .when en. __They - were ,only ipermit - ted to see whenthey asked why. If you have 'a 4'wehy" for liv- ing you lean endure almost any 'how." The why is -.the, most t•ntttptortant. , Here God enitens Iufe. You live by the "why" you have for li;vti;ng, fft is so aegleeted- ei- gbh . how ithat we lose its mewing. In • our •coinforttattlie World, when we look around us ,,and asst God for the meaning of it all, does the not ask us to face honestly the world we live in? Can we thea„n him say, "If these are all loved by me, don't you need to task some questions?" TAX, PREPAYMENT. vs LOANS The first bylaw .passed by the. 1965 c'ounc,il here _authorized borrowing from a hank up to ,$200;000-. Similar arrange- ments are made by pt•aetieally all munic- ipalities, to meet ordinary expenditure pending receipt of taxes. Municipalities l'an'not well 'ask 'their su•ppl'iers and staffs to -wait until summer, but the . banks are •lvilling to handle an. overdraft at current interest 'rate. The procedure may not be' the hest possible, in the i'ltterest of • the taxpay!i'5`," 'some of whom probably would pay.before the rate. is ;struck,- if• anything "were to be gained. Goderich collects in two instal- ments, and if the whole amount is paid .on or before May 31 a discount of 1% is al - !ow -ed. • There is no inducement to pay earlier, but in some municipalities this is provided by means of prepayment .certif- ieat'es. IIs Stratford, 4% is the inducement: Anyone buying a $100 certificate before Janriary 31 gets it for $98.56. Certificates are in five mirltil>les, from $10r' In a recent year tit' collector got $126,000 before Jan- uary Its, Seafortli not long .ago reintro- duceda prepayment plan with $1.0 and $5p receipts and up to 576 interest, Toronto ili 1958 introduced a prI'pay- i.ucnt plan, .. found little response,. and in 196'1, sought special legislation' providing for six instalments with eolnpulsory pay-- uient. The Legislatitre rejected the-eotlt- . pulsory- principle. Londonboard of eon- trol was reported a few days ago consider- 'ing, five instalments, --instead of three, "so that civic work-ean be continuous". Tim- mins has a prepayment plan which at -last available report brought in approximately half as much as borrowed from the bank. Timmins also has a plan whereby taxes may .be paid monthly. The discount rate there is, or was, 6%, "to give benefit to the people rather than<to the bank." Monthly payments, of course,. would make extra work in the office of the collect- or, who in `a town the size of Goderich has to be much away from the office during part of the year. -In any case, there would lie no financial -advantage to the town in payilig`a rate equal t� that charged by the ba rik. • It is stili unrealistic that such,citi,zens. as are able-' and willing to pay for snow clearing, garbage collection,• police and fir4 services at the time the expense is incu r- ed should have to want until the trill rate is struck, while meanwhile the council in- curs on their behalf an obligation for'irt-- terest on a bank overdraft. The delayed payment plan is in gen'eral use, however, and ratepayers are not likely to accept any other with -out incentives such as mention. ed. 4 * We Read That IIer hair was like the sunset — it would soon be clank again...
