Some of the foods which may be used
are: Hot cereals; cream soups; cocoa
made with milk; creamed meat; vege-
tables, eggs or macaroni; stews and
canned tomatoes.
Of course in including hot food
only part of the lunch is considered.
To have child obtain the necessary
amount of food needed at his noon
meals, insuring an adequate days
food supply, it is also necessary to in
clude:
A cup of milk or two milk dishes;
one substantial food such as a sand
witch in addition to the hot dish; a
fruit or vegetable-one full serving;
a simple dessert if desired.

revealed what an unbiased surveyor
had found after going over both
of them with tape measure, a

admit that GalentO had the better

The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Too often we think of the church
in terms of professionalism. Church
work, we seem to think, is something
to be done by selected and trained
professionals just as medical work is
done by doctors and nurses with a
special training But this attitude is
wrong. 1t is wrong, of course, to
imagine that all health work is done
by professionals; more than anywhere
else it is done in good home. And
it is wrong to believe that the work
of the church is special task which
is only to be done by special people
Circumstances seem to have made
charge of the activities of the church
but this is not an ideal condition; i,
is rather necessary evil. 1t would
be much better, were there no dis
tinction between those who lead in
worship and those who do not. The
farther the church develops and &C.
centuates this distinction, the farther
it grows away from its ideal. 1t be-
comes tempted to take the emphasis
away from the spiritual fellowship
and even to replace it with the forms
that have arisen around the fellow
ship.
We all have a part in and re-
sponsibility for the work of the
church. When a community fails tc
realize this, it fails in its support OF
the church, and consequently the
work is weakened. A professional
leader is powerless, even if he is fault
less, if he is called upon to do all
the work Our churches will fail
more and more, if the members dc
not realize their responsibility ano
take a strong and active part in the
work of the fellowship.
This does not mean that we al
have to work in public. The bulk OF
Christian work and Christian educa-
ton is done through active Christian
living, especially in the home, and the
most important factor in the build
ing of Christian character is given
through the example and the teach
ing which a child meets during the
first few years of its life. We also
do the work of the church by taking
a regular and active part in wor-
ship through attendance, song, and
prayer. We do it by encouraging
others, especially children, to belong
and to take part. The mother who
sends her children to Sunday school
regularly is doing active church work
The one who does not, unless, OF
course, she teaches her children her.
self or takes them along to church
is failing in her duty.
The church needs trained leaders
but more than anything else it needs
active and strong participation by
all members. The church is fellow
ship, and unless there are members
of this fellowship, and unless these
members take an active part, the
work of the church will fail, no mat
ter who is the trained leader. And
this means that we fail to place our
selves in service of the spirit of God
and His kingdom.
