The Clergy speak out What do we think about during Holy Week Prom Palm Sunday until Faster Is called Holy Week Some may ask the question why Is this bo Why Is there one week In the year thai we call holy The answer lies In the historical fact that Jesus of Nazareth died on a cross on a Jerusalem More has changed the world You sec the man who was crucified was Jesus Christ the anointed of the world The one who was crucified was both God and Man He was the immanuel the- God with us And when He died on the cross on Good Friday then It was no or djnary man that died there it God In the flesh who Rave His life for the sins of man In the fall of Adam the race became lienated from God Sin had separated man frbm his Maker There was for man on Man was lost forever and that is why God His Son

Spirit by R nd i Corvsn Bethel Chriitlin Reformed Church and He was bom in a place called Bethlehem ana He up in a place called And this Jesus when He was about 30 years old preached the gospel that by believing in Him man would have eternal life In the gospel of John He says I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the Father but by Me It Is in Jesus Christ that man la forgiven and is right with God God gave His Son and then He laid upon Him the iniquity of us all and He died to pay for our sins Jesus Christ was crucified on Good Friday not for what He had done but He died for what we had done He died for our sins That Is what the Isaiah means when said He was wounded for our transgressions He was bruised for our Iniquities ike sheep we have all gone astray we have turned every

apostle John writes that to all who believe in Ills In the fall of man we were alienated from God but In Jesus Christ we Who once were far off have been brought near In the blood of Christ And that Is whot we remember during Holy Week on Good Friday Because it was on that day that Jesus or Nazareth Son of God died for the sins of man That la why we call It Good Friday because on that day our sins were paid for On the Sunday after Good Friday we celebrate for on that day we remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ It was on Easter that Jesus Christ rose from the The crowning glory of lis redemptive work for man He died for our sins and He rose again for our justification In the resurrection of Christ lies our comfort that wo also shall someday arise from the Save For when He returns dead In Christ shall arise to meet Him In Jesus Christ man has eternal life for He took our sins upon Himself died for us from grave hat we may have eternal life And this is what we remember during Holy Week OUR READERS WRITE In article Attack on School Sen Education at Moral Pollution Rally The Spectator Mar I found many or the allegations by Mr Henderson con flic ting yet very true Though my with school age children is limited feel that the lock or discipline in subject l matter and classroom deportment Is quite obvious Our growth in the Western world has progressed so rapidly because of men and 1 women educated In the last in the Rs the old system Thinking and questioning are excellent and con to be encouraged But without basic knowledge In all subjects being taught as background how can we expect able to Intelligently question the future What is learned today from voslerdny Is pre paration for tomorrow thoughts and decisions I am constantly amazed when I hear businesses having difficult In finding It astounds me that people who are hired to do secre tarial work accounting research writing etc and arc required to condense material Into logical reports have to have these reports submitted to men or women older and In higher positions for corrections in spelling grammar and composition These older people are products of the old system jet have learned to think organize and to evaluate on the basis of the old system In my opinion the current problem Is many of our younger teacher Spock How can we expect them to know how to be disciplinarians Many of us who are parents were also raised in a per missive atmosphere and because in many cases we were not Riven a firm foundation on which to decide what is right or wrong we now find it very hard to decide and act today we re just not quite sure we are right But we were not taught to accept being wrong Therein lies the problem many of us have opinions but we can so easily be intimidated by those In the know that are afraid to express our selves The old system taught that there was right and wrong criticism and selfex and the ego was often affected That system had its pitfalls as does the present system I am aware that from this same generation come the administrators and Board of Education members who either try out any new concept that appears or are too afraid to make evaluations and question proposals which ore put before them Many aspects of education have under gone rapid change in the last decade I don t agree with the open concept which allows a child to progress at his or her own rate most children have not enough to accomplish this feat Yet I don agree with the old system of sitting at a desk for six hours a day learning by rote I think here is a happy medium The five steps of note recognition restatement relationship and realization require both of structure and both types of and permissive each moderation this could be colled democratic It shoula be applied In both primary and secondary education In order to prepare the students for the working world andor university As parents we need to define what our educational goals ore for our children and to object strongly by group action if necessary if we feel that our children are not teaming the basics as well as the new concepts If there arc facts which substantiate statements made in recent months In local news media I request that these facts be presented at open meetings In the various parts of to which they apply Tho main reason for the decay and downfall or ancient societies was because the people delegated their responsibilities to others and then forgot to keep their fingers on the of events I hope all parents will question and act Dear Editor OnbchalfofthestudentsofM M Robin son High
