Bo | Nestleton-Caesarea News by Mabel Cawker Thanksgiving Thoughts Thanksgiving is over for another year, and we trust all across the Dominion thousands of Canadians paused to give thanks for their many blessings. Churches were fill- ed with worshippers ... and Altars laden with vegetables and fruits of the harvest season. Families had a great time together ... feasting and visiting! Nature was at its best ... she reserves one of her biggest and best shows for October ... especially in this part of the country. The colour of the flaming maples, sumacs, etc. ... much loveliness -- and a bit of sadness in October days! One realizes it can't last ... but let us en- joy the days as they come! A wonderful time of the year! Enjoyable Speaker at Nestleton Women's Institute On Wednesday, October 7th, the Nestleton Women's Institute was pleased to welcome Miss Barbara Reese, Rural Organizations Specialist from the Bowmanville Of- PART 1 3 OF 26 To the Peoples of the World A BAHA'I STATEMENT ON Peace UNBRIDLED NATIONALISM, as 'distinguished from a sane and legitimate patriotism, must give way to a wider loyalty, to the love of humanity as a whole. Bahaullah's statement is: "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." The concept of world citizenship is a direct result of the contraction of the world into a single neighbourhood through scientific advances and of the indisputable interdependence of nations. Love of all the world's peoples does not exclude love of one's country. The advantage of the part in a world society is best serv- ed by promoting the advantage of the whole. Current international activities in various fields which nurture mutual affection and a sense of solidarity among peoples need greatly to be increased. Religious strife, thoroughout history, has been the cause of in- numerable wars and conflicts, a major blight to progress, and is in- creasingly abhorrent to the people of all faiths and no faith. Followers of all religions must be willing to face the basic questions which this strife raises, and to arrive at clear answers. How are the differences - between them to be resolved, both in theory and practice? The challenge facing the religious leaders of mankind is to con- template, with hearts filled with the spirit of compassion and a desire for truth, the plight of humanity, and to ask themselves whether they cannot, in humility before their Almighty Creator, submerge their theological differences in a great spirit of mutual forbearance that will enable them to work together for the advancement of human understanding and peace.

Miss Reese spoke of the preserving of history in the Tweedsmuir History Books. As we progress through the various ages, we find ourselves now in the Space age with goals still in the future as we ex- perience challenges with new pro- blems. A handout on why we are In- stitute members brought individual thoughts on what motivates our membership. Miss Reese suggested debates on topics of concern ... not to always follow old patterns, but to be able to change along with the Constitution changes which are be- ing implemented. Mrs. C. Pickard, Convenor of Family and Consumer Affairs took the chair, and com- pleted the program. Mrs. Neta Fish, president, was in charge of the regular meeting, open- ing with the Ode and Collect.
