Friends are sorry to hear that Rev. McCaus‘land is not able to be out and miss his presence and help- fulness at meetings. Richmond Hill United Church is to be congratulated on having the speaker they had Sunday evening. After hearing him one would wonder where this Christian Canada had gone to. He certainly brought home the fact that there is good‘ and bad in every race, and- these signs you see “No Jews allowed” are anything but Christian. Perhaps if we were chased from country to country we wouldn’t be any better. It isn’t what our nation does, it is what the in- dividual thinks and does that will make a Christian nation and the sooner we learn to read' our Bible instead of so much common litera- ture the sooner we will be Chris- tian.
