all to the loe of jesus christ for the child the main aim as mr mc dowell expressed it was to bring the child to a living knowledge of the lord jesus christ and not just to learn a few scattered facts about him the aim of the church school is not to make better angli i cans baptists presbyterians and i united church jpeople but to draw the expanding life of the child into a close proximily with

unreliable castoffs the whole theme boiled down to un derstanding and interest in the fears that confront jouth par ticularl in an age that is moving far too fasl the church school can help by treating the maturing jouth as an individual and not expect him to be tied to apron strings until in some frantic ges ture he revolts and does some thing ridiculous an idea that was talked about and
