Often when we see this Glass Tower on the East River there comes to mind the older and more famous Brick Tower in Shinar which likewise was limit of mans spirit Babel was tremendous con cept the ultimate in liberal think ing during and vigorous idea which only men of vision and ac tion could have concechd One could gather from the story that it attracted the cooperation of far and wide and was well on to being the final wonder of the world gt1 But at the same time Babel was the ultimate inpresumpti0n and tie height of folly For it was unded on lie The whole concept of the ancient tower was that men are fundamentally one essentially harmonious and bro therly and thatthcir moral and spiritual stature was worthy of ie divine To affirm this conviction they started their ascent in their brick tower Of course it was then the lie showed up Men are naturally competitive and truceoperative Con Put You Book On Your Feet Again give you fresh start Your premium costs are so low and your

about man is sin He was made in the image of God but he fell and now even his very langbage sounds like babel each to the other We dont like to be pessimistic about the United Nations but we wonder sometimes if the basic presuppositions are correct 15 peace mans ultimate Are men worthy of peace swuhat is the price of peace What are its preconditions Is there not some thing which should first happen in the hearts of people before such goals can even be seriously con templated Peiihaps the men of Shiiiar would have got further if they had first sat down to think through their axioms of life and recognized their moral liabilities Perhaps there would still be magnificent structure in the vic inity of Babylon if its primary purpbse had been the glory of God Let us pray for new spirit in the UN Rural Life Today and tomorrow Rural Life Conference is meeting at Clansmans Lodge near Big Bay Point as it has met for some years now The purpose of this conference wegatiher is to dis cuss contemporary rural life as we know it in Simcoe County and to plan irnpmvements Perhaps chef or two questions might be raisedat timg to widen the interest For over decade now we have had nag ging opinion that there is no such thing anymore as With the spread of modern living in modern homes and with the ad vent or modern communications what we have throughoutour com munity is more or less widespread suburban fitting with corripletely different atmosphere and social outlook All the symbols of rural life are disappearing the coaloil the out house and the horse and cutter The new day has

water United Church Sunday ev ening declared that each of us was challenged to contribute time and ability to home church and community advancement Rev Mr Lewis spoke of his es teem for Rev Ross Cumming the Goldwater pastmxand said the lat ters parents were bulwarks of Collier Street Church It was the washers of hands disclaiming responsibility who opened the way for evil from gen eration to generation and con verser it was the individual who faced up to his duties who helped improve conditions for the race the minister stated Such organizations as the home and school association scouts and guides CGIT and other youth and adult movements Could do im measurable good in community if sufficient number would as sume share in leadership Or ganizations formed for construc tive purposes should have margin of leadership always available but this was often lack ing the minister added selvm as never before Perhaps it it would be better to call it Conference on the Smaller Com munity and not waste time keep ing old distinctions alive There is no such thing as Rural Life any more When we do focus attention on the smaller community and its problems we feel that more at tention ougtht tube given to the heart of the matter the spirit of conununiy Are the problems of the community in the last analy sis social and material or are they spiritual problems of how to achieve community with people who will not accept the conditions of community or who cannot stand community when they have got it We believe that Jesus of Nazar eth laid his finger on the real medicine for community as well as individual problems when he taught the necessity of LOVE the Spitliead Rev 1L Expansion of the fleet is dtpiLl ed in the photograph at the lmvl or left showing the launching oil the

public servants and sociolbgists and small community conferences He who loves is worthy to live to gether with others in the rich ex perience which is community life He who does anything less than love is either passenger going along in the comm nity for ride or he is desire er We dont have very many destroyers in any one town toomuiny at that but we do have lac too high if propor tion of passengers for close community life Perhaps the Rural Life Confer ence can tell us how to deal with antiemuunity factors and how to convince more 18 the thins world to that love Conveners Report Busy
