THE HERALD Wednesday Augutl MM Page Country must be salvaged for our descendants The everlasting impact Jesus has on history is due to the fact that in his teachings he replaced Might is Right with humility compassion and love for the poor and powerless He taught that in the eyes of the Lord power and are if anyting a hlnderance on the way to his heart not a help In today s language this means that all the material goods we are so concern ed about are preventing us from gaining happiness and fulfilment within God s creation His early followers and the later ones too were only too human They very soon added their pre judices and hatreds to the teachings of Jesus Once these ear ly followers organised themselves into a church their organisation developed into a worldly club for ambitious males headed by a great prince instead of a humble carpenter As a result the white man became with the blessings of his church something to be feared in stead of loved The conquest of John Sommer Mexico by a gang of Spaniards in 1519 is only one chapter in a very sad and long tale When the monk Luther eventual ly stood up to accuse the church of corruption and wrongdoing the refusal of Rome to reform dragged Europe into a devastating war that lasted for 30 years However the division of Chris tianity into two opposing camps made the enlightenment of the century possible The division of church and state free speech Police auction Regional Police wants to sell you a bicycle cheap The police are holding an auction at the Indoor Mall on Guelph Street August 10 In addition to 150 bikes the auction will include everything from baseball gloves stereos and cassettes leather jackets purses and even a small water softener The viewing of auction articles will begin at and the auc tion will begin ate p m Police district clerk John Horning wants to encourage Halton Hills residents to attend the auction It s a good way for the police to in teract with the community he said Sympathy extended religious tolerance all these prin ciples by which most of us try to live today would not have come about without Luther and his fellow reformers But all the wars and revolutions that have shaken Europe to it s foundations had the effect that we are deeply taking sides We find our own civilisation of such prime importance that all the other civilisations and cultures on this earth are of only slight interest to us We raid their artifacts and sacred objects and display these in our museums as proof of our superiority And the people who made the artifacts we treat like children that have to be taught the blessings of our way of life When our ancestors came to this continent hundreds of years ago they found a native population that had seemingly lived here forever Since our religion of love oh irony had been imposed on many of our ancestors back in Europe by the sword the early settlers in North America did likewise They had no respect nor love for these savage people and they despised their beliefs Most of them they killed and the remaining orphans became their wards But orphans everywhere are grudgingly given the barest necessities of life only and the reserves we have set aside for our native population are far from generous compared to what we took from them Yet we complain that the Cana Indians refuse to merge with our society and make our values their own But what values do we have to offer to a people to whom the sacred grounds of their ancestors are of greater im portance than a golf course We who recklessly sell everything that is fine and unique in order to make a buck Now we have the barricades at By KAY WILSON Correspondent Since sympathy is extended to the family of John Jack Hunter who passed away at the Bennett Health Care Centre

ancestors stole the land we are ing on and our rulers refuse to sit down with the people the land was stolen from Who are these of ficials of a Christian government so lacking in courtesy towards the original inhabitants of this great land Who are they to call these proud suffering people criminals before a proper trial has taken place Isn t it time we put our country in order before we tell the South Africans for in stance how to behave in theirs Between and in East Germany all property if farm fac tory or house was confiscated from the owners by the state Now the world rightly demands that these properties are returned to the owners or compensated for Likewise our federal government has no excuse to sit on a high horse with regard to the oldest dians in the country As to Mr the leader of the Opposition in Quebec By treating his own minorities with the respect they deserve be could teach us all in the rest of Canada how to treat the minority of Frenchspeaking Canadians And maybe by making our peace with the original Canadians and by un burdening our conscience in doing so we will finally stop our bicker ing with each other over stolen goods and find the time and energy to
