It is almost certainly true that the good life can only be achieved if there is a primary affection for people and beauty, It is sad to see the flight from the city every week-end when great columns of vehicles, like mechanical ants, transport people to- ward the receding wilderness and a longed' hoping that everyone of these girls, ing the practice on Thursdays will together with their Leaders will take get better results. : their place in the Church. There are quite a number of our boys and girls whom we do not see very often at Church and Sunday School. I won- der if our Leaders could not make the Sunday Programme just as interest- ing as the mid-week! May be, some of the fault lies with us Leaders. If it does, let us repent, and do some- thing constructive, and have all our boys and girls in Church and Sunday School. Your Minister is calling a conference soon of all our Leaders in this important work, for he firmly believes that much can be done. one and all to come and worship with us on Sunday. level of our unemployment are 'the best proof of that. But we are de- cidedly not of the opinion that noth- ing can be done about it. . We are convinced that where a real and sustained effort is made to get the "Buy Canadian" message across to the housewife she will not be in- different to it. An excellent example of the kind of thing we have in mind is contained in a recent issue of a widely-read em- ployee magazine produced by one of "| Canada's largest manufacturers of steel. A two-page, well-illustrated 'spread' directed at the housewife tells the story of a can of tomato juice. Su- perimposed on a relief map of Canada there is a series of pictures. These show the steel plant where the tin plate for the cans is made; an opera- tive in the plant of the can manu- facturer; the farmer who grew the tomatoes; the plant where the cartons and labels for the cans are made; the canning factory where the juice is issues which Professor Stephenson's arti- cle raises in his critical essay. Port Perry,-our own town, is in many ways quite a beautiful place. Few main streets have the natural attraction of ours with its gentle sweep to the lake bordered with majestic trees, the houses set well back from the street, the.lawn bowling green and the small but artistic memorial library. We are in the process of adding to our high school and there will be other additions ahd buildings, Is it possible for us to give a little more thought as we build to those important things that lie outside the realm of the compromising dollar sign ? Is it possible for us to show our love of of beauty in the way in which' we. direct and control the town's growth? These are important questions now with import- ant implications for the future. lence. ~The really unfortunate thing about all ---- this is that it has made it too easy for us to confuse meéans as ends.

Our Theme last Sunddy was "Jesus comes alive", and the Text "He show- ed Himself alive". The Minister commenced with a quotation from Dr. Winnifred Bryce, Missionary Doctor to India: "You cannot do much with men who are hopeless." Here are a few excerpts: "It is most difficult to champion a cause that is not popular. Yet that is what Jesus wants us to do. Quite often we must touch the last round before anything is done. We all need the experience of behold- ing Jesus alive, if our enthusiasm Epsom Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Brawn and Trudy and Miss Patsy Bailey wero evening guests recently with Miss Effie Brawn, Miss Greta Brawn, Chas. and Wesley Brawn at Mount Carmel.
