Free Proas Wednesday February Second Cltn Mall IB rrrrrrnrfffrrrnrrrrrrrtr The clergy Apeak cat By Rev Evangel Pentecostal Tabemaele THE OUR CHRISTIAN HERITAGE WHERE7WHY The issue relevant lo every Ontario citizen is the Mackay Report now being studied and discussed by the Ad Hoc committee of our County Board of Education SHOULD BIBLE READING and the LORDS PRAYER BE IN OUR SECULAR SCHOOL SYSTEMOR SHOULD IT BE ABANDONED The report of the committee on religious education in the public schools of the Province of Ontario reports in the summary of major recommendations No 1 We recommend THAT THE PRESENT COURSE of STUDY in EDUCATION in the elementary schools of Ontario be DISCONTINUED AND THAT ITS AIMS AS SET OUT IN RELATED LEGISLATION programs of studies regulations and guide books be ABANDONED The Report in recommendation No as a substitute in the place of Prayer and Bible reading a focus on character building ethics social attitudes and moral values and principles Actually this substitution for elementary grades amounts to nothing progressive or constructive for a truly educated and cultivated person because these teachings have been included by penetration of various subjects in the school curriculum for many years It is NOW that we as lawabiding tax paying citizens arc needed to voice a PROTEST Let us give our opinion and take a STAND for our Godgiven heritage In the Secondary School the report states recommend THAT A FORMAL COURSE OF STUDY DEALING WITH THE PRINCIPAL OF THL WORLD BE OFFERED AS ONE OF THE OPTIONAL COURSES in grades 1 1 and 12 Instruction in these courses should be given by members of the history dept Page No This proposal to abandon our Christian heritage and substitute comparative religions foreign to our Christian faith is both subversive and In this same report we are introduced to the historical background of Religious Education in the schools It is indeed a thrilling story of bravery and heroism of battle and victory of sublime convictions and exquisite declarations The great works of Rycison Ross and others preserved our Godly heritage through and in our school systems To these men WE OWE MORE COURAGE THAN TO ABANDON OUR REUGIOUS FREEDOM IN THL SCHOOLS AND SUBMIT OUR DISENCHANTED YOUTH TO DEGENERACY SOCIAL PROPAGANDA or MARXISM Under the guise of freedom of religion freedom of speech and freedom of the press many subversive INROADS have wrought insidious and irreparable error Abuse of freedom creates grave dangers in any field but avowedly so in our elementary and secondary school systems where socialist Marxist yes and Lenin thinking men have been allowed to direct the moulding of our youth and bring shipwreck to our Godly heritage and to our democracy Lenin said Religion must be If religion will pass out quietly our attitude will be one of benevolent tolerance but if it resists we will hasten its exit by violence proportioned to its resistance Why docs this committee propose to suggest that our school curriculum embrace he study of world religions including many other Gods ic Confucius Islam Mao Tung or others while in the some report they arc prone to abandon The Faith of our Fathers and the use of the Holy Scriptures as a canon of revealed Truth Par and potentially annul the value or use of prayer in the class room 5 Pg Report Ex Premier Geo Drew Chancellor of the University of a member of the University of Toronto Board of Governors and a director of several companies looks with grave disfavor on the recommendation that religious instruction as it is now known in Ontario schools be replaced by the teaching of comparative religions and moral standards How on earth arc children expected to manage this said Mr Drew without first having a sound knowledge of one religion as a basis for comparison It is that a gradual decline in the emphasis on religious teaching is apparent in certain schools and at certain levels but this is not a time to surrender our heritage and faith because of laxity in morals and a rise in juvenile delinquency or disinterested personnel on social and moral principles WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN A CHRIST1AN1TYBUT ARE CONTENDING
