The Acton Free Press Wed November 1 The more we get together Knox church members were delighted to And their church so full Sunday night that the doors into the Sunday School room had to be opened to accommodate the crowd Many had come from other churches and from out of town to hear the popular group of musical ministers the Lost and Found Department At the same time at the other end of town attended the con cert in the high school auditorium enjoying the program presented by about young people from several schools Its great to have such large crowds out for special events One senior member of Knox church says the crowd reminded him of church anniversaries of years ago Then neighboring churches would always cancel their evening services and many would attend the special event in the celebrating church Nowadays there arent as many occasions when people of different denomma gather together in one church Sunday was a happy exception Public meeting tonight Tonight is the time to

this be learned their church or in a religious education class Integrated into the public system No many parents won allow tins Also religion is not the only reason for sending our children to separate schools Religious teachings enter into other subjects and other parts of the day when no formal teaching is being done This would be allowed In a public system leaching moral values per the

relatives your class your nationality or your religion How much more difficult and more reward to show this love for someone who is different When our children go out Into the world they will meet all
