Wm. Black and others for their kind encouragement and exhortation to "keep on writing". In our soulless techtronic society we need religious "values gto - keep us fully human. However, people reasingly disenchanted «with the prissy Victorianism, the conformity, the smug moral- ity, the"vapid sentimentalism and the sheer, dreary bore- dom * of what passés for in our society. It is repressive and anti-life, stifling individual "initiative and any "intellectual ferment | that might threaten its own comfort and security. We need a higher ethic if we are going to challenge the world and avert a new age of barb- arism. Interior values do not depend on the orthodoxy of} ritual whatever ecclesiastical bureaucrats may want us to believe: Do we care or do we not? That is the question! Sincerely, Mary D. Mumford (Mrs.) ~ Preparations are swing for the presentation of "World of Music" to be held Wednesday, May - 14th at 8 p.m. in the United Church auditorium.
