Special music coming over a loud speaker system, en- livened the occasion and a splendid stage programme by Eleanor Durno's Cheerio Enter- tainers, Toronto, was a feature af the day.4 It took two separate seatings ta accommodate the throng, one at 2:30, the other at 4 p.m. The hall which was brightened with the Goodyear blue and gold motif, had a central stage flanked by two immense Christmas trees festooned with coiored lights and laden with gifts. When Santa Claus, whose voice had a familiar ring, appeared ta distribute the gifts there was great applause which was also shared by Mrs. Durna and her accomplished ar- tists. Mild Christmas weather with plenty of snow on thé ground made the occasion even more de- lightful. It was a happy throng of children who came away bear- ing their gifts at the close of the day. Recreation Club officers took care of every detail. The club whose funds are provided by members contributing 25e per month during the year, takes great pains in making this Chris- tmas party the outstanding event ai the year amang its many other activities.

C.C.F. PLANNING IRON CURTAIN FOR SASKATCHEWAN "A party state within a state" is how The Financial Post chara- cterizes a reported plan by the C.C.F. gqvernment ai Saskatch- ewan ta contrai the professions.. Premier Douglas has advmitted having such a bill under prepara- tion and John G. Diefenbaker,, M.P., says the draft hie has seen "would resuit in every proies- sional man and woman coming under the governmelit direction and subi ect ta penalty if he or she acts contrary ta the will ai the government in any way." "Besides the totalîtarian as- pects ai this proposai," editorial- izes The Post, " it is ta be round- iy condemned for its encourage- ment ai narrow and restricting provincialism. There is far to much ai this thing now, with citizens trained in one province unable, in certain uines ta follow their profession in another. There is littie hope ai Canada's develop- ing into a nation whiie a trace ai such internai barriers remain."

A former clerk in the Bowmanville Post Office, in the persan ai Man- Iey Cryderman, passed away re- cently. Some time aga he was obliged ta give up his position here as superintendent in the Nioney Order Dept. ai aur Poit Office. Since that time he has spent most ai his summers at Pig- eon Lake which is about 60 miles southwest irom Edmonton. It is a beautiful spot and hie took great pleasure in sailîng around the lake and improving his cottage. AI- though outspoken in manner hie was a very fine citizen af high deals and a staunch iriend.

Politics in the Pulpit By Lewis Milligan The question as ta whether preachers should discuss poiitics in the pulpit was recently put ta cross-sections af the Canadian people in a Gallup Poil, and'the result was said ta be overwheim- ingiy against pulpit politics. The question was put thus: "Do you think clergymen shouid or shauld not discuss politics during the sermon"? The response was as foilows: Should not, 75%; should, 15%; undecided, 10%. It was pointed out that the minority ai 15% favored the practice pro- vided the clergy deai with public issues from the "moral stand- point," as related ta the braad "probiems of the day, rather than vote-catching, or party issues." Those who were oppased ta the idea are said ta have reason- ed that "the church was flot the place for politics,"l or that it would make the puipit "an organ ai propaganda," or "it breaks morale and the spiritual upiit ai the service." Those who iavored it contended that "politics are part ai everyday lufe," that "the ciergy can stir up people ta take an interest in civic affairs," and that "there should be more Chris- tianity in politics and the clergy shouid point out the way for us." Even the 75% would probably agree with this last argument, whether it applied ta paiitics, business, or damestic lufe. But politics is such a controversiai subject, upon which the members ai most congregations am~ sharp- ly divided, and the preachers themseives, being men like the rest ai us, are also ai diverse opinions. Some ai the clergy hold strong personai views on politics, and if every preacher were ta use the pulit as a plat- form for the promotion ai his own politîcal opinions, then the churches wouid become a politic- al pandemonium. This is « not a question ai free- dam ai speech; it is a question as ta whether the preachers should enter into a free-for-all flght on party politics, for palitics cannot be discussed in these days without reference ta political parties or graups. The great rnajarity ai the clergy do refrain from discussing politics in their sermons, but this does not and should not prevent them from insisting upon the observance ai Christian principles in ail the affairs ai lufe. I once heard a great preacher say that his job and that ai the church was ta 'make more good men and women." If the churches were ao succeed in that, then aur ailitics and aur social problems would take care ai themselves. Religion, aiter ail, is a persanal natter, and saciety is no better han the individuals ai which it is camposed. The preacher's and the pastar's mission is primarily to the individual soul. The Chris- tan gospel is not a theary ai ecanamics or ai gavernment, ai- though it may and does have an ITCK0M&g 1 TC H -orM Money iaohi For Q"lckrel Imffm Itchi usuiby oeuemu 'a fltlo& meoue&. coo nd stein -M" 4W ..

'But maxi must flrst of al be brought ta reai.ize that he is something more than animal, and that this samething cannot be satisfled and rendered happy by econamic systems or acts af parli- ment. If palitics could satisfy the spiritual aspirations and salve the social problems of mankind. there would be no need for the churches. But ail history, md recent history in 'particular, as proved that palitical theories- and there is a glut ai them today -have dane more than anything' else ta create unrest, class hatred, social strife and world wars. Il is for the church and the preach- er ta "show aymore excellent way." f Jamieson's Tire and Battery Shop 46 King St. W.
