PAGE THREE Rotarians Mark 45th Birthday The 45th birthday of the Mount Joy Rotary club was observed Tuesday moon, Jan. 26, as the Rotarians held their weekly luncheon at Hostetters. Henry G. Carpenter, one of three charter members still active in the club, was the principal speaker, recalling some of the interesting and significant episodes of the early years of the orgamza- tion in this community. As first secretary, he later was president and finally be- came district governor of Ro- tary’s District 739. The Mount Joy club's offi- cial birthday is January 26, 1926. The other two charter members, Clyde Eshleman and Christ Walters, were both seated at the speakers table. The former spoke briefly. The program was arrang- ed and introduced by Joseph Shaeffer. “Between birth and age 4, half of all growth in human intelligence takes place; an- other 30 percent occurs be- tween the ages of 4 and 8’ The mule deer bounds in high leaps and lands on all four feet.

In other words, political activists oft- en see it as their duty to have God’s will (what they think that is) obeyed. Another factor, also a large one, feels that it is divisive for any church leader or group to take it upon himself or themselves to decide what the will of God is in local and national political matters In the opinion of this group all leaders and groups are fal- lible and this is always difficult for the self-righteous, reformers and conservatives (in all religions) to admit. But unless political acti- vism in churches is disallow- ed, it seems certain to split more and more churches in- to factions which agree and the political activities of the church’s leadership at the moment. And “political com- patibility” rather than unity on dogma seems increasingly likely to become the bond uniting or dividing church memberships. —Ephrata Review NOTICE TO REBIDENTS OF LANCASTER COUNTY, PA.
