More people are attending Church Services than ever It is a good thing to belong Long long ago the Psalmist wrote: "I had rather be a door-keeper in the House of God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness", The new week wiil bring new surprises.

The Island has also had a visit from one of her former Ministers, Rev. I. G. Joblin.

During service this past Sunday, a very beautiful and appropriate child- | ren's picture was presented by the Sunday School and dedicated in loving | memory of Richard Knight, a pupil of the church school who died two years avo at the age of seven. At the church school teachers' meeting last Thursday, following the reading of Minutes of the last meet- mg, and the report of the treasurer, it was decided to look into the possi- hility of buying sliding doors for the archway in the main church hall, A new executive for the teachers' group for the coming year was chosen. Mrs. lof trouble A vear or two ago | got into a lot with socialists because | noted that instead of following Mur. Coldwell's plan to turn left, the move- nent was turning right and abandon- ing the old socialist principles. The socialist ginger group went after me hammer and tongs and the bitterness of their attacks on free enterprise were shocking for their downright hatred. One socialist tied all the evils of the world to the profit motive, even the scandalous quiz programs on teievi November sion, This, she said, was where free 9th, 1961 enterprise leads us. She referred, as well, to capitalists buying mink col- lurs for theiv dogs. She said capi- talis had created go terrible mess. I pointed out at the time that the socialists were in ga very embarrass- hg position when they condemned free enterprise and capitalism be- cause that means they would have to nationalize farms as well ay industry or ¢lse admit they were embracing sin for farmers are capitalists, Now the socialist British Labo, barty has cast out socialization of in- dustry as w party platform plank. At their recent conference in Blackp.ol, they voted about four to one against a resolution setting out a list of en- terprises which Jeft-wingers wanted nationajized, and thus they finally ac- cepted the fact that private prise has an important role to play mm the cconomy. enter- I am pleased that socialists in Canada are also dropping nationalization schemes from their platform. It is wonder ful to see that common sense is pre vailing at long last. What baffles me is that the poor old ginger group refuses to face the new situation and continues to argue old-line socialism. Lam very pleased to see this, What is to be feared, of course, is that the NDP might gain power by | hiding its socialist plans, but once it was ensconced at Ottawa the old bit- terness and radicalism might prevail and control of the plans to seize means of production, distribution and exchange would be put into effect. rejected at the front door, would thus sneak in through the back.
