J Bly “Involved with Human

I ■ Sunday May 28 with a lesson

■'iorace R. Weaver says of this
Ben lesson series “It is a
| Bbouraging fact that large
C’ B’nbers of Christians who
■ Bong to the church assume
' B t t their major responsibility
B. 0 attend church school and
I Bi’ship services as the full
f B uirement of their faith.
I H.'haps we are learning in our
I I, e - with greater clarity than
; H ore, that the standards of
■ mbership in the church of
I B'us Christ should be carefully
| Bbussed when persons become
I H mbers. The church is not a
| H b or a social organization as
{ B h. Though it is a sociological
| ■ titution, the purpose of the
| Birch is different from any
Her institution among men.”
H Ve begin the study of how the
I I ssion of the church is
| ■ rganized". We read how the
■ rly church selected leaders in
8./eral fields of service. Some
I B )uld prophesy, some preach,
| ■ ne teach etc. An important
| Hi son we can learn from the
Hjripture selection for this
■ son * s that there is no one,
IBl*° cl 3 ™ B to be a Christian,
Kt who has some talent that
B n be used to serve the Master.
H' of the criticisms we hear
IB jse days of our churches is
(Hi it they are “too highly or-
B nized”.
fß' A danger from complete or-
B inization is that some group,
■ some individual, may have
■' i exalted idea of the impor
■' nee of its special programs
work, and want to bypass or

H her groups. One might call

ill be confusion that will rob

H To this layman the message
H this lesson is that there are
ji ine of us, who profess to be
I iristians but who can play an

NEWS
OTTAWA (UPI)-President
Nixon, trying to sooth some
ruffled feelings between the two
countries, assured Canadians
Thursday the United States
respected their right to political
and economic independence.
Nixon is expected to pursue
that theme today in a private
meeting with Prime Minister
Pierre Elliott Trudeau and in
an address to a joint session of
the Canadian parliament.
Nixon and Trudeau plan to
discuss a range of global
matters in a two-hour summit
session this morning, particu
larly the American President’s
recent trip to China and his
forthcoming visit to the Soviet
Union.
On his arrival in Ottawa
Thursday evening, Nixon point
ed out die undefended border
between the United States and
Canada as an example to the
world of how two nations “can
settle their differences by
talking instead of fighting.”
Both leaders, however, have
served notice that they do not
expect a breakthrough in the
current impasse in troublesome
trade disagreements.
Nixon’s aides gave headline
billing to his afternoon speech
before a joint session of
parliament and said it would be
the highpoint of his three-day
visit to the Canadian capital.
Extremely tight security pre
cautions, including blockage of
the road in front of parliament
hill and the hosing down of
snowbanks that might serve as
hiding places for bombs, were
in effect to avoid any repetition
of the attack which marred last
October’s visit by Soviet
Premier Alexei N. Kosygin.
Less than 30 demonstrators,
however, turned out for each of
the two protests scheduled
against the visit on Wednesday
and Thursday. About 15 pickets
against U.S. domination made
it to a point visible from Nixon
motorcade on his arrival in
Ottawa Thursday evening.
With both Nixon and Trudeau
facing re-election campaigns in
the coming months, there was
little give on either side on the
key issue of economic relations
between the nations who are
each other’s biggest trading
partners.
But Nixon went out of his
way to sooth the ruffled
feelings in his remarks on
arrival at Ottawa’s Upland’s air
base.
“As I come here to Canada, I
want to say what I have said to
our Canadian friends when they
come to the United States—we
respect the separate identity,
the right to pursue its own way,
that the people of Canada
desire for their own destiny,”
Nixon said.
One of the main concrete
results of the trip will be the
Great Lakes water quality
agreement, the first such joint
venture between the two
countries, which will be signed
Saturday before Nixon returns
to Washington.

Weather outlook

CAPE KENNEDY (UPI)-
The weather outlook was good
today for Sunday’s scheduled
12:54 p.m. EST launch of
Apollo 16. Astronauts John W.
Young, Charles M. Duke and
Thomas K. Mattingly planned
some final rehearsals today for
their mission to the moon.
Associate director of launch
operations Paul C. Donnelly
said technicians monitoring
every step of the week-long
countdown had found “nothing
suspect.”
If problems should develop to
delay the launch beyond 4:43
p.m. Sunday, the flight would
have to be postponed until May.
Lured by the prospect of
near-perfect weather and the
Sunday launch, crowds were
