RIDLEY Pastoral Charge United Church Canada Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day teach a man to and you feed him for a lifetime Is an old Chinese proverb which is basic to our thinking in World Development If a man learns to fish he not only has food but a feeling of dignity and self worth IF he has the capital to buy a boat and nets there are enough fish to catch the price Is adequate so he can sell some to buy other necessities the big companies with their trawlers are legislated Into restricting their catch It is a big if but nevertheless the answer to problems facing the people in the underdeveloped parts of the world is not in handouts but In teaching them to make their own living But in most cases governments big companies and people who have are not willing to relinquish some of their privilege their power their resources In order to allow the struggling poor person to make an adequate living Our tendency is to resort to inadequate wages handouts or welfare Then we complain that Ihey ore stupid or welfare bums Work food social justice and human rights are serious concerns for a large part of Canadian society and a much more serious problem for the vast majority of the people In the Third World As fellow members of the human family ail of us should be aware and willing to help As Christians as followers of Jesus the Trend of the it is our calling to be involved to be outraged at the world situation to rise out of our comfortable pews comfortable lives and show that we really care Jesus gave up all that he had and took the nature of a servant and walked the path of obedience all the way to death Phil He began his ministry by declaring Ihat he came to bring good news to the poor liberty to the captives set free the oppressed Luke 18 But he tosses the ball into our court He said to his disciples and to us You are the salt of the earth tight of theworld Matt Our eternal life depends on our acceptance of and our sharing with others Come and possess the kingdom which had been prepared for you for I was hungry and you fed me inasmuchas you have done it unto one of the least of these my you have done It to me Matt I know we get

PEOPLE MAKE FRIENDS IN THE CHURCHES Invasion Recently I was asked what I thought about the huge number of people In China and the mililnry threat tney might pose or us The following figures are part of a talk I Rave on this same subject and they arc still fairly accurate There arc over BOO million persons In Communist China and of these per cent ore in military service The resulting number corresponds with thesiieof the army according to the will Invade Israel in the latter Chinese army officials a in ted that If the forces of the West were to destroy SO per cent of he population of China there would still he enough people to rebuild army to million The Red Chinese have food and war supplies buried under the Manchurian Mountains out of reach of any atomic fail The ability of Israel to defend itself was evident in the Six Day War of Fir forces regulars and reserves with tanks big guns and plane The combined forces of Egypt Syria and Jordan amounted to regulars and reserves planes and tanks At that lime Iraq drove them back and advanced to secure new territory In the latter days mentioned in the Bible Cod will Gospel Temple elects officers 11 JOHNSTON Gospel An air of expectancy filled the room as the ladies of Gospel Temple Womens Ministries group gathered for the first time in 1951 Newly appointed president Kay Bailey welcomed every one and noted that this will be a year of change seeing more participation by all members A short devotional time was held followed by the reading of last years reports Everyone was excited to sec growth thats happened over the past few years and arc looking expectantly to for even greater things Pastor Nicholson presided over the annual election of officers He encouraged each one to prayerfully consider the names that were offered for each position and let the Lords will be done Eileen Stride was elected vicepresident John ton secretary and Rose treasurer Pastor Nicholson then told the ladles of their Importance in the church over the years and expressed his optimism for an even greater year The meeting was then turned to Bailey who said the theme for thia year is In The Word In keeping with this theme the new executive will plan meetings which will help each lady to draw closer to God through His written word fight or his children In Israel I realize that this Is a lengthy way to answer the question about the population of China but it serves to illustrate my contention that the figures dont worry me The Lutheran Church in Georgetown seems to be growing and is enjoying good family participation It may be a hard church to find since It tucked away In the serenity of the Carole Street and Windsor Road area of Georgetown Actually It may easily be found by turning up Windsor from Delrex or south from Street at Cleaners The Lutheran Church Is part of a national group of churches which sponsor some excellent television programs that still make a mark on the family The Lutheran World Federation Joined with the United Bible Societies to send Bibles to Russia where authorities gave an import licence for German Bibles The recent Skit and Talent night at the Alliance Church in Georgetown was a success In order to provide enough room the program was held at the Georgetown Chrislion School and featured skits music recitations and comic dialogue The skit Midnight Cafe by Pat and Bill Bennett Debie Markle and Gail Stone was of particular note as was the song Testimony by Steve and Linda Ttliey It seems that you may have to wait a whole year to see another but it may just be worth waiting for Francis Schaefcrs book Whatever Happened to the Human Race Is one of the more understandable ones he has written I would suggest hat you get in the mood and find peace and quiet to read Schacffer He has teamed in with Everett Koop and explores the human rights of abortion euthanasia a very timely topic with the recent meeting In town on death and dying Well worth reading Jehovah Witnesses
