- Notes
- "The life of the nation can be no stronger that the life of its families. The tone of the family is dependent upon the moral and spiritual outlook of its members. The Church has fostered the highest ideals of family life. Today, under the moral disintegration so apparent in many areas of society, these are jeopardized. The Church is therefore deeply concerned. Moreover, due in part to this disintegration in morals, but also to social and economic maladjustments in society, the size of the family has rapidly lessened. Indeed, this phenomenon presents a distinct threat to the existence of some racial and social groups. At the Annual Meetings in 1942 the members of the Council and of the Executive Council of General Synod asked that information about this be made available to our Church people. Since the Government has recently begun a careful study of the matter and is making information public, we are able to present some factual material very pertinent to the whole question. We believe that this presents a distinct challenge to Christian teachers and leaders for more detailed education on Christian lines: a challenge also to Church people generally to regard their personal responsibilities in these vital matters". -- Foreword.

- "Part of the Resolution adopted by the Executive Council in 1942 reads as follows: `The Council views with great concerns the lessening proportion of the Anglo-Saxon to the non-Anglo-Saxons in the population of Canada and urges that there should be continually brought before our Anglo-Saxon people the privilege and opportunity of helping to preserve British ideals and influence in our country which larger families make possible'."

Encouraged by this experience Ortho again sought the co-operation of the Churches in planning a further symposium on family life education, as a Centennial project.

- "The Canadian Family. In Bulletin No. 128 we dealt with evident trends in the size of Canadian families. It presented a fateful picture. Here we publish a statement by Professor Elton Scott of Bishop's College pointing out the dangers and challenging our Church people, and Canadians generally, to face the issue. We thank the author for his article, and `The Mitre' (of Bishop's College) for its courtesy in allowing us to republish it."
- "Sex Instruction in the Parish. Intimately related to the well-being of family life is the matter of instruction regarding sex. Since we believe that this should be given in a spiritual setting and that religious sanctions are not the greatest safeguards of the sex life and of the family, the clergy are necessarily interested. .... The Reverend Gore Barrow, rector of Schreiber, who formerly had useful contacts in this field while in a parish in England, has written this article at our request. We are grateful for his assistance". -- [Foreword].
