He told them it has been prov- en many times over that the com-

in it and know the most about it. He told the largely F r e n c h - speaking audience that “I think this is one of the areas in the province w h e r e people work well together".

Mr. Daley continued. “a 1- though you may think you know your community. you'll find you don’t know as much about it as you think you do."

He stated his department will conduct a survey throug the use of questionnaires to try and get a broad picture of wh at everybody is thinking. Then. he stated. "You help us— you g 0 out and interview your neigh-

He told them “you will decide what is to be done. In e meantime we will provide federal and pro- vincial technical people to as- sist you.

WOLFVI‘LLE. N.S. (CPt—The Acadia S u m m e r Playhouse. born of an idea and fed by non- profit work. is growing into an institution. '

It was started in the summer of 1961 and drew about 3.000 peo- ple to its first seven produc- tions. Last summer the aud- ience for the same number of presentations rose to 9.200. and plans have been made for seven more shows next summer.

The idea is to produce popu- lar works aimed chiefly at a tourist audience in this univer- sity town of 2.500 nestled in the Annapolis Valley.

The man with the idea is Tor- onto-born Jack Sheriff. 31. who came to-Acadia University as an English professor five years ago. An actor himself. he fell into acting and directing during the regular university term fore starting the summer play- house.

He says that 'when the play- house. an amateur protect. was formed. some folks figured it wouldn't work. The gate proved differently.

. Sheriff says there is every indication of the summer theatre becoming a permanent thing. and hints that if the suc- cess story of its first two years is continued the establishment of a theatre building may be next.

The speaker warned that "we face one world or no world." He quoted Lincoln who taught that no nation can endure perman- ently "half slave and half free". He said we needed anoth- er Lincoln to teach us that our world cannot endure perman- ently "half- stuffed and half-

. Howlett conclud- ed his message by saying “this is Christ's world; He is the one central force which brings un- ity from diversity. and changes our neighborhoods into brother- hoods."

yHartley Mullen. Brown Jardine led in prayer and Rev David MacDonald preached the ser-

mon.

The theme of the sermon was “One Gospel." In the introduc- ytion to his message the preach- ‘er declared that fit is un-Chrrist- ian to say of something. “It's too good to be true." for when God decided at one point in history to reveal Himself. He did so by sending good news in- to the world.

At the Christmas‘season there was joy and the centre of t h at joy was the good news that "a child is born."

“One catches the good news

iby taking up his cross",

said. “By taking time to think tabout it, each one will realize {what his cross is. One obvious tone." he indicated. “is th lcross of crucifying C hristian pride— pride in denomination. If we Christians have 0 o d news," he continued. "we should be the first to love one another. It is not what we lose by com- ing together that counts." he continued. “but what we gain."

In conclusion he said. “God calls each of us not only to talk about the good news but to be- gin to live that good news and take up our cross."

The singing was led by the church choir with Mrs. Russell Hardy as pianist. A duet. ‘O Saviour Mine." with accordion accompaniment. was rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Prid- ham. The special choir selec- tion was "When We See Christ."
