TO11ILINSON, Editor and Business Manager Plant Manager County of Huron THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1946 MOTHER'S DAY AND THE FAMILY other's Day, Sunday, May 12, is the flay when a well deserved tribute its paid to ow mothers ---those modest, self-saei1llnting individuals who mean so much to all of us and whom we sometimes take too much for granted. , As elsewhere in the Christian world, they will be honoured at church services in Clinton and district this coming Sunday. What is afam>Zy without amother? Only those who have suffered the pangs and heartburn /I vgs of her Moss 'are able to measure the depth of the dhasin which Mier passing produces. The memory of a dear mother re- mains throughout one's life ,and exercises a great influence on its direction. Those whose another is stlli living can do little else than remember her in some manner, on her "day of days." It •does not require much effort but the effort, no matter how trivial it seems, is deeply (appreciated. A gift; 'a letter, a card or even a kind word may mean a great deal to her. Let her sons and daughters—whether at home of away from home—be thoughtful of her. 0 © 0 SPECIAL CHURCH. CAMPAIGNS • three of the leading religious denominations in Can - T ada are planning a co-ordinated campaign aimed et a financial strengthening and a spiritual awakening of the church at home and abroad. Plains already are under way in Clinton and district toward this end. The Anglican Advance Appeal has a Dominion ob- jective of $4,300,000 and a personal canvass is being arrang- ed in all parishes from May 12 to .May 19. The Presbyterian Church campaign is termed The Presbyterian Advance for Christ and Peace Offering with . an objective of $2,000,000, for which an .every -member c 12 May19. canvass will be conducted from May to The United Church of Canada has launched a Pension Fund Campaign to raise a minimum of $3,500,000 'to place the Fund on a sound' actuarial basis, as Well as conducting The Crusade for Christ and His Kingdom. Most •people throw away many dollars that other- wise might be put to useful purpose. Would such money not be abetter spent in worthwhile projects such as these in support of the Christian Church? , 0 0 0 • CRTTICISM CAN BE HELPFUL How do you behave under criticism asks an editorial in the May issue of THE LION, official publication of Lions International. Can you :bake it? The arrows •of criticism strike every person, every institution, on earth. The king- on his throne, the head of the ehur+eh—every church—the industrialist whose genius gives work to thousands, the 'general who leads an army and the admiral wlio sails with a fleet, down to the very humblest of us, are stung by criticism. How do you take it? , Your answer will indicate what menner of man you are. Do you sulk, like the offended child who takes her ' doll rags and goes home? Do you glare and shout "you're another!" like the small boy who can think of no adequate 'reply? Doyou dismilss it from your mind and go on as before? Or do you examine your conduct and learn wherein the criticism is merited, and set yourself to correcting What- ever fault brought It on? This last is the only way to reap the good of criticism—for criticism is good for us if we do not let it go to ;w'aste. Try to get ibhe point of view of your critic, and nine times in ten you will find that he has some reason for his attitude. Then you are on the way to irnprovememt. Listen to the critic, and make of his criticism an asset. It may hurt him, but it can help you.

OWEN, D.D., D.C.L8 Primate of all Canada 'EVER has humanity been in greater need of the Christian II Gospel, the inspiration and guidance of Christian toaohi.ng and the Christian spirit. • To -day we give thanks for a physical victory over forces opposed to every Christian principle. But thoseforces must still be fought in human minds and hearts.. The only new order worth building.is a Christian order. At home and abroad, the Christian Church faces a renewed challenge. That is why the Church of England in Canada is making an appeal to her people for rededication, self-sacrifice and constructive action. 'This movement seeks to make Anglicans more truly Christian; to make them conscious of the historic mission of their church; to strengthen the spiritual, educational and social work of the Church at home and abroad; and to provide funds for additional Clergy, for the pension fund, for helping the Mother Church in England and the Churches in Europe m their work of rehabilitation, for providing youth training and leadership, and for assisting all Dioceses in meeting their local needs. The Appeal was launched in our Churches' on the Feast of the Epiphany, Sunday, January 6th, and will continue till May 19th. In its spiritual aspects it has already reached the homes of our people and its programme will continue over years to come. During the week of May 12th to 19th, every member of the Church of England in Canada, so far as possible, will be visited by a fellow member, authorized to receive • contributions to the $4,300,000 fund, needed to carry out the financial program. I bespeale from every one of our members and friends the earnest, prayerful considera- tion of this urgent need, I am confident that if every individual does his and her part, the combined objective of spiritual enrichment and financial support will be fully achieved. i PRIMATE ANGLICAN ADVANCE APPEAL 104' REDEDICATION AND THANK -OFFERING 2A -4d
