social and personal it is oulte evident thart pr tv albert moore has vory warm foelings for tho nbyrebts 4 church when ho occupied the pulpit and conducted both services of the united church on sunday this was manifest flrt in the fact that ho chose acton as the- first place to present the id4ats of tho united church- since tho honor of being elected secretary of the general council of the great pew body came to him at the recent meeting in toronto and ugdln in tho several references to acton and the old church as yvell as in his earnestness during tho acrvitps jft mpst surely be grati fying to fourpeople that so many of tho ministers who either began tholr pastoral work in in the chorch or who served a term here have such high regard for tho church and congrei tlon as to be ready to return quite occasionally particularly when as- in moat cases their services would be welcomed in much larger churches at the morning service speaking frorn mark 9 8 and dealing mainly with the spiritual outlook pf tho unit ed church dr moore compared the spirit of the recent service in toronto conaummatlnjr actual church union with the transfiguration scene pictured in the text where he said those who were present were conscious that as ln the experience of tho throe dis ciples on tho mountain they saw no man any more save jesus developing the spiritual ideal he went on to picture god as a wonderful aclvetiturer who today entrusts tho ihurch with itsotiornrohs and varied responsibilities and tho work of estab lishing his kingdom on earth to us nere humans and with this the hpeuker suggested the necessity of th widest vision for us if gods plans are to be at all realized the church and particularly the union church was pictured not so much as a means of salvation albno as was the oldtime conception but rather as a developer of people as nn organization in which the strong are to help the weak asa force to remedy the troubled conditions in uhe community and in the world so that in this way pads kingdom may bo brought about the sermon closed with an earncdt appeal to trust in the promises of god and to have faith that the way to a better world and happier conditions is opening out with the application of christian principles ln society and thattht ngs w lliwchroutaswein dlvldually carry into our lives the benefits of the trans figuration experi ence
