Jesse Arnud thmturtslhsoitsttFtirtd The annual observance of Chris-4 tian Family Week has come to play a vital part in the home, church and community life of many sec- tions of Canada. Sociologists, edu, eatitmisU, law enforcement offi.. cers. and prbernmen.t.al agencies unite in firing upon the homes of our nation the responsibility for the attitudes. ideals and behaviour of youth. By. the same token must the homes be looked to for the qurrlt ity of the citizenry of the Canada of the future. Rich in natural re- lourcea, this great country must become rich in character resources if it is to honour its reco nized pl-rf-leadership in the glmily of notions.

Men, arise to the occasion; lay a solid foundation upon which can be built a structure that will go down into posterity with admiration. Chaotic conditions of the universe today demand a definite acceptance of the challenge given to the churches, so give a positive leadership, and build for the future. Spiritual em- phasis is a foundation upon which solidity can be created. The church alone supplies the means and the ingredients that will develop the spiritual life. During the past three months the leaders of the church have been presenting to their people, the demands of a reconsecration of life and development. of a more spiritual being. i Money is required to place the churches on a financial basis, by which they can face their problems and carry into effect their policies that will give to the people, peace, comfort and hope. Few men, and more women have carried the tre- mendous load over the ages. It is now the duty; it. is now imperative, and there is now a demand that the men arise to the occasion and come across, in answer to the present chal- lenge of the church. You cap not stand idly by and let the other fellow do it. You are an important cog in the great machinery that is required to run smoothly and Tut over the appeal of the three big church organizations across Canada today, viz., the Anglican, the Presbyterian and the United. Those in control are issuing their messages, are giving their leadership, have studied the situation and they are now ad- vancing that the church may hold her place and give her administrations for the consolation and solidity of the people. Dr. Bryce began by saying that many of his most delightful and vllued friendships have come through the NWA during the years since the first organisation begen in Earlscourt district in 1911. He believes that he has been saved from racial and religious prejudice by the fact that in the district u- sociations there are members of all classes and (reeds. and also those We have no particular religious connection-the bond of fellowship 'ia the desire to help others: The speaker skid he is an incur- ahle optimist hecnuse of his own life experiences. Hinnry teaches no hot to he afraid of the future; [because of the accomplishments of the past we are enehled to face the future, not with Ihnllmw or unper- firinl optimism, hut with mn- fidence and hope.

Opportunity Is Knocking Four Help Is Necessary Men, do not turn a deaf. ear to this appeal, Utilize your God given talents to lay the foundation of the churches today, that they may so build, that the generations that are to follow will honor the names of the people of 1946, who have answered the challenge.
