The clergy Apeak cat By The Rev Walter A Fosbury Churchill Community Church One of the general trends of our time is toward concentration and amalgamation Tho result is that in industry have huge conglomerates controlled by cornpanie that have a drive in direction of diversification into fields of interest that often times have little or no relationship to the original corporations In the realm of education area school systems have been set up in the past decade or two which had as their avowed aim the creation of a more efficient method of dispensing knowledge and at a more economical level Even in the major denominations the church has been moving in the same direction The hippie movement which is supposed to be a rebellion against the establishment and social conformity is now hardening down into a conformity of its own Area government is being put forward also as a much needed solution to the weaknesses more imagined than real of the present system of local government Herein I believe there is a real threat to the democratic way of life which we prize so highly From the federal government down the tendency appears to be away from a just society to an autocratic bureaucracy and the urbanization of the life of the nation as a whole This is not a matter of party politics but is it the result of a universal urge toward conformity A number of people start to grow long hair and the idea catches on to the extent that even college professors look out at their classes from behind a forest growth that to say the least is a wonder to behold Now this is downgrade the OBITUARY wearing of long hair but simply to point up the fact that the trend of our times is toward conformity and this in spite of the fact that we argue otherwise The growing use of drugs among our young people even down to the public school level is another indication of the same trend to conformity and the argument that the smoking of marijuana is not as bad as the drinking of alcoholic beverages falls flat on its face If ever there was a generation of conformists wc are it As a minister of the Christian Church I personally feel the need of this generation being given the challenge of individual and personal dedication to moral idealism and service to mankind The church and the school need to sound more dearly the note of sacrifice and service to the people of this generation than at present they are especially to the young If fail here then fail everywhere and the promise of the future must be anything but hopeful Wo need to stress importance of the individual life rather than that of the mass as well as the importance of the community as over against that of the nation or the area The larger the group the less significant is the individual and our first responsibility is to that individual To try to funnel into one channel of service or learning is a mistake of the first magnitude An age of specialization needs specialists and this holds true of the social order as it does of the educational and commercial areas of our day We need to train people who will stand on their own feet regardless of what the masses may do Funeral service Jan 15 for Veldhuis A foreman
