This subject, he said, was vital to-day as man seems to have it within his power to exterminate the human race. Religious people believe man is capable of perfection, and that must be our objective. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all other things will be added unto you. Our Chapel Services, with opportunities for medita- tion, prayer. and hearing the word of God, are guides to the Kingdom of God. Mr. Ketchum mentioned the meetings of the United Nations and Canada's part in trying to perfect a system of world government. Our hope lies in the Wisdom and un- derstanding of individual men. It is supremely important it if y. l 4 1 1

As we go to press this year's football team, captained by Stu Bruce, has made history for itself by defeating Rid- ley in Toronto for the first time in thirteen years. It was a thrilling game with the score first in favour of one team and then the other, and the pace and skill of the two teams amazed the hundreds of spectators. The final score was 22-18, Ridley scoring on forward passes and T.C.S. on drives through the line and around the end. As We had de- feated S.A.C. 17-11 the week before the championship game will be played against U.C.C. at Port Hope. The School congratulates a fine football team. . .

The Battle of God Sunday, September 21 On the second Sunday of the Michaelmas term Mr. Bagley gave his first sermon of the School year. He com- menced by speaking of that event which will remain in everlasting glory, the Battle of Britain. The Chaplain im- pressed on us two misconceptions concerning the end to- wards which those brave lads were fighting. All of us had heard at one time or another that the Allies were fighting the battle of God against the forces of evil in order to save Christianity from extermination. But as the sermon pro- gressed we soon realized that even though the physical battle had been won, the conquest for the Church has yet to be attained, and it seems that the element of fear imbued in the world is a powerful retarding influence. Carrying on, Mr. Bagley explained a second misconception, that of the parallel drawn between Christianity and Democracy when actually the Church holds no political views and the Grace of God is world Wide. Convincing us that we must pray for God's help in hastening the Church's victory, Mr. Bagley closed a most impressive sermon. 1 Christian Citizenship Sunday, September 28 Mr. Hett began his sermon with a quotation from The Life Line by Phyllis Bottome. What makes the German people so formidable is that they worship thor- oughly. It is well, too, for us all to remember that al- though what the Germans worship is wholly evil, they have learned how to worship it!
