Farming'is still the backbone of English life. a humourous reading, "Commercials You Love To Hate" was given by Mrs. Harry McLaughlin.

World Day of Prayer Theme Community Spirit in Modern Living In this Lenton Season this special day inspires us to pray with the need of the world in our hearts-petitions for a deeper faith. May this Service be a rewarding experience for each one of us-a day of Fellowship and Prayer. What is the first requisite in building a good community spirit in this modern society? We have many problems and we must first start in the Home. If we haven't a strong relationship within the home and family how can we expect to establish good relations with our neighbours and in our cominunity. Parents have to stand together, building strong families produces strong communities. We cannot put together weak, spineless characters and hope to have a strong society. Young people need discipline and frame work, the teaching of standards and it can't be achieved without parental guidance. There are no restrictions today, - It's called the new freedom - the new morality. Freedom to develop is very different from freedom to do as you please, and many parents are very lan. Discipline must be rooted and grounded in love, and there must be rules for the children. The parents' responsibility is to see that a child knows why he is being disciplined, and if there is love, trust and respect within the home he will accept the situation. If father and mother stand together on an issue, the children are being served by the best supreme court of thier lives. The majority of.us like to think that the woman of our fair Canada, make the home where there's love, and where children get a square deal. Due to the permissive society which started back in the sixties, many children aren't getting that square deal. Our values have changed. We have revolutions, welfare, unemployment, violence, change in cûstoms, lax laws, the drug and liquor scene and so on. Homes are deserted by parents who refuse to spend time and effort to solve problems which arise in the home. Families crumble, it mades one feel good to hear of a successful marriage, one that lasts, and a good family relationship. We have many irresponsible young folk and the parents must take most of the blame. The youth are fundamentally good, and if we give them a chance they may well surprise us. Not long ago I had the privilege of hearing an excel- lent speaker experienced in deahing with young people a few excerpts from his message. (He said) Canadians have the good things of life- the best of ail worlds, all we can get in material things and we give our families far too much and they are ungrateful. 'l.V. has had more to say - more power and influence- the young people have been shaped by that box -not by parents, teachers, church leaders, social workers <e, (he went on t o say) Tlhere has to be a change in family tife we need solid, long tern marriages, we need children and we need grandparents around. Being a good wife and mother is the most glamorous thing a woman can do. The family is the oldest institution in existance and is the foundation of Society. As we move beyond the realms of our homes into association with others in the neighbour- hood, the community. What can we do to make a worth while contribution to commun- ity life and carry our our Theme? Each person owes the community something - and we should work toward build- ing a better community in which all residents can be very proud. Be aware of community needs and consider how we can support worthwhile projects - co-oper- ative in scope, and is for the purpose of spreading good- will. Let us open doors to new comers, be friendly and welcome them warmly. Give of ourselves the personal touch. It is vital to get our young people involved in community work, in worthwhile projects. Lend a helping hand to a faltering stranger, we are our Brother's Keeper. Show concern for the elderly - there is no substitute for a caring relationship. A visit - a friendly chat is service beyong price. It is living the Golden Rule. Keeping in tune with the times is important or else we'll be outdated - outmoded - we have to adapt to new methods - new ways - to keep up with "Modern Living" and change has always been with us. Another important feature of Community Spirit is Prayer. If everyone who believes in a Supreme Being would join in this mighty intense act of Faith - wondrous results would ensue. God governs the affairs of men. If each one of us would set aside some time every day to pray fervently in this society that a different world if would be. Prayer is our greatest source of power, but miserably underdeveloped. In our changing world, Christians must not forget that providing the word of God is essential to human welfare. There is need for greater witness and outreach of the Gospel message. Regardless of race, colour and the number of believers, we are all one in Christ. The world has many religions, it was but one Gospel, active involvement is the responsibility of every citizen. We are living in a materialistic age. It is nice to, have conveniences, but let us not lose vision of the finer things and put materialistic things first. A professing Christian is not necessarily a possessing Christian. We all need the inspiration of the Gospel. For Spiritual renewal begin each day with God. We must seek, pray and plan together. Man is made in the image of God and each one has been divinely endowed with talents to invest in his Service. Let us be willing and have a desire to share and serve. We have a responsibility to make the best contribution we can for the welfare of all people. We must have Faith in God, and live a life of "'Service" to mankind which adds up to "Commupity Spirit in Moderi Living."" Closed with a "Prayer" a re-service by Edgar Guest.
