ST. THOMAS NOTES
Katharine Mitchell

With the advent of summer and
hot weather, most churches are
faced with the problem of a con-
siderable drop in attendance. Is it
because these "Fair Weather Chris
tians" consider themselves less in
need of spiritual guidance in the
summer months than in cooler
weather? In most cases it's simply.
a matter of selfishness. We would
all be in an awful predicament if
our Lord let the weather govern
His actions toward US. The next
time you are faced with the temp
tation to stay away from the church
because it's too hot or too cold,
think of that. Surely an hour each
Sunday cannot be considered sac
rifice when you stop to think that
your God gave His life for you.
The men and women of the
church are certainly to be COM
mended for the grand job they did
in identifying the church grounds
and refurnishing the Guild hall.
Mr.. Tom Carroll headed the group
who fixed the lawn and Crusaders
club are responsible for the re-
furnishing Of the Guild room. Mr..
Percy Hughes donated the paint
for the decorating done by Mr..
Clarence Hughes.

Our Common Cause
By MORRIS GIBBS, SIR.

By MORRIS GIBBS. sR.
Constantly we have hammered
home
Our common cause,
What it is we all know
But now-just let US pause.
We hear about cooperation
On this issue and that,
Why our group doesn't succeed
Some reason - time we don't
keep track.
Issues arise among US constantly,
Seems like they never end,
Looks like we've cross to cross
Because our group earns such a
small stipend.
1t takes money in any fight,
Unfortunately, we have little,
So our progress is hampered that
way,
Temporarily we put up a good
battle.
Many are our shortcomings
That we have to overcome,
Before we can secure our rights
If we expect to even get some.
Now ! know other groups get their
rights
Aren't any better than we are
But that doesn't help our situation,
Well get justice when they let
down every bar.
