The Church is God $ appointed agency in this world for spreading the knowledge ol His love
for mon and of His demand for man to respond to that love by loving his neighbor Without
this grounding in the love of God, no government or society or way of life will long
persevere ond the freedoms which we hold so dear will inevitably perish. Therefore, even ’ ’
from a selfish point of view, one should support the Church for the soke of the welfare

truth which alone will set him free to live os a child ol God IN >

Elks have stressed the senti
ments which are naturally and
universally inherent in the re
lationship of mother and child,
and this has led to the designa

In past years Elks Leadership
Awards have been made to young
men and young women of Newton

Other patriotic and benevolent
projects are:
Rehabilitating handicapped

Financing specialized training
of personnel to staff cerebral

Providing hospitalization for

Providing treatment and hos
pitalization for crippled children
