In my efforts to discover its origin, the first record- ed suggestion I couid find was attributed to Julia Ward Howe in 1872. She wanted a day dedicated to peace and understanding and so she held a Mother's Day in Boston on June 2, 1872. In the state of Kentucky, Mary Fowies Sassen, a schoolteacher, began observing cele- brations for Mother's Day in 1887. In 1907, Anna Jarvis started campaigning to - have it observed as a national'holiday and her efforts prom pted. the city of Phiiadelphia in 1908 to declare the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. The idea soon spread as, other states began observing the day. On May 10, 1913, the House of Representatives in Washington passed a resolution declaring the second Sunday in May a national holiday dedil- cated to ail mothers. The observance spread north over the border so that here in Canada we have tradi- tionally observed the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. With the passing of time however, the day has become overly com- rnercialized so that much of the original rintent has been obscur- ed. We are extoiled by the entrepeneurs of business to spare no received sub-division proposais from the Town that almost completely surrounds the Village with new sub- divisions. Congratulations to Bill and Grace Reid who celebrate 30 years of business at their store in Kirby, today (Wednesday).

Then in a few Weeks time the same process i s repeated for Father's Day. The ernphasis is not in giving ourselves but in giving things. The* true greatness of any mother or father cornes from the giving of themselves to the other members of the family. With this in~ mid rnany of the churches in Canada have renamed the day to qcail it Christian Family Sunday. In this way they hope to draw people's attention to the importance to the fami- ly as a unit. The family stands as the very foundation stone of society. It has been said that a civiliza- tionstands or falis as to the emphasis it puts on the family reiationship. Some historians dlaim that one of the main reasons for the fali of the Roman empire was the disintegration of family life. The most important element of the- family relationship is personal involvement. It is a sad commentary when parents will seek to provide their children with ail kinds of material playtoys but neglect the real values of life. Love cannot be purchased, it must be shared. A girl in a prominent farnily, when cornmitedl to an institu- tion for a drug probiem said, "My parents gave mýe everything but themselves." Take time to appre- Rev. Harold W. Kempling, Minister, Enniskillen-Tyrone Pastoral Charge While it still keeps cool these days, we are warned that Spring is close at hand by the arrivai of seed catalogues ini ouir mail. This turns our minds to gathering "Utility Vessels"; useful portable containers for earth ini which to plant and grow our precious seeds into strong seedlings indoors, ready to be trans- planted into prepared garden plots once the wiarm weather arrives. These utility vessels are not usually pretty or considered of any great value in themselves. They may be old egg cartons, flower pots or even neat wooden flats, but made from scrap in the home shop;' anything suitable to supportp the initial indoor Te Apostie Paul, in writing to the Christians of the Corinthian Church (IICor. 4:7), likened them to "Earthen Vessels"; for baked dlay was the common material used for utility vessels in those days. We still favor earthenware for every- day use, even though we know its limitations, proneness to breakage, etc. The attractive features of earthenware and other utility vessels in their ready. availability, inexpen- siveness and yet adequacy to do the required job if suitable came is taken in their use. Thus utility vessels are seen of little value in themselves, but of great value in their supporting and carrying precious cargo. In his comparison the Apostle Paul would teach us several important tmuths about ourselves; most of which are' self-evident and we need only be reminded of their true significance.f Whle ongoing experience keeps us aware that we are of the earth,, earthy, prone to failure and even destruction through the misfortune of the day and mishandling by ourselves and others, yet we each have great potential for usefulness and service in our wold. Thus, regardless of our skill and training, we are of littie value to ourselves and others untîl we accept-a caîl to active service; promoting the true values of life according to the will of God, our Creator, for bis glory and for the welfare of aIl mankind. The most valued hockey player in the league is of utterly no use to bis team so long as he sits on the bench; even though some rest time is necessary to keep him able to work at peak efficiency when he is playing. Ouw value too, in the scheme of thinigs, lies in our doing a useful job for which God created each one of us; that of ciate your wife, your husband, your children. No time can be better spent than by sharing ourselves with others. In the diary of Brooks Adamns is a note about a special day when hie was eîght years old. He wrote, "Went fishing with mny father; the' most giorious day of Mny life," and through the next forty years there were constant refer- ences to that day and the influence it had on his life. Brooks father was Charles Francis Adamns, Abrahamn Lincoln' s ambassador to Great Britain. He also had a note in his diary about the sarne day. It simply said, "Went fishing wit my son; a day wasted." To a busy ambassador a day away from the office was wasted but to a boy who enjoyed the companionship of a father, it was an in- fluence for a lifetime. I an reminded of a mother who would often neglect hler housework tobg o outside and play baiwth hier sons. When a neighbor questioned her about if she replied "'The housework wiil always be there but 1 will not always have my boys to play with."l The true values of life are best expressed not by things but by persons. Let us resolve to truly observe Christian Family Sunday by giving to the members of our families the greatest gift that is ours to give, ourselves. conveying through oui' being and living the great treasure of bis word and will to all mankind, starting with our next-door neighbor. It is ini this way our true value may be realized; by helping others be more readily useful to them- selves and others, as we work toward helping God fulf il bis ultimate will and showing the glorydue unto bis name. by Rev. R.C. Hopkins Pentecost This coming Sunday the Christian churches will be celebrating the feast known as, Pentecost. However, I imagine that there are too, many of us who have no idea of this fact, for the Day of Pentecost does not loom largely in oui' thoughts today. We enjoy the Christmas season; we- are stirred by Easter witb its tragic and triumphant events; but our minds and hearts are untouched by the story told in the opening chapters of the Acts of Apostles. As we ponder it, we should ealize that the coming of the third person of the Tinity, the Holy Spirit, ought to oversbadow our other festivals because of its importance to our world. O&ur Lord spent a great deal of His time teaching His disciples of the coming of One wbo sbould follow Hlm in an even greater way, equipped to carry out the grand purpose of God, the salvation of the world. Had there been no Day of Pentecost 1 doubt, that the resurrection of Jesus would have become the permanent inspiration that it, bas always 5 King St. West been in the life of the Christian Churches. The elaborate plans of God1 Almigbty stretch through the ages from the beginnîngs of time, and the Hloly Gbost seems to mark their culmination, bringing the final great power of the Father into the life of man. In our modemn age, we are ahl grateful for, and often frustrated by, the telephone. How often we receive a busy signal, our ring not being answered! The instrument is buta piece ofmetal witbout there is someone at each end to bring, it to life. I often feel1 that God spends far too much time trying to get tbrough to us, only to get our busy signais. Had those first followems of Jesus not been at the receiving end of the uine that day, wbo can say what the results would have been for human history! We should tbank God daily for the facts recorded in Acts, Chapter Two; that the disciples were at last united in one purpose, gathered together in prayer, awaiting the long expected promise of the Father. This promise was that the Holy Ghost should coîne with ail His powers to help them overcome their human weaknesses. In other wvords. He was to create from this band of wavening' followers a band of Apostles wbo should take the Christian message out into the higbways and byways of their wold. And bistory records the truth that they did not falter, but accompished this purpose. God bas always had to have humans at the receiving end of His 'open line' to earth. This is still true in our modemn world. One great weakness of Christians today is that too, often we stop short of accepting the living presence of our Lord in the Holy Spirit. We live comparatively ineffectuai lives, content wit the chubby clubbiness of our éhurch society, when we could be transformed and given the power of God in ways that we have neyer dreamed of, just by putting away other things and indîng the time to seek that power and presence as 1030,' Nanton Avenue Vancouver V6H 2C2 BC Editor: Dean Sir; Political prose notwith-' standing, the legislative record over the past ten years speaks for itself. g: In 1969, bomosexuality betWeen "'con- senting" adults was "legalized" - opening the way to a wbole new "industmy"' in male prostitution, gay "rigbts" demonstrations and "gays" entering the scbool- bouse to teach our children about their alternative lifestyle! In May of 1969 we saw abortions "legalized" resulting in wide open abortion on demand and the snuffing out of tbousands of unborn Canadians who would neyer live to know their flag, their heritage or the soft ains of Springtime. In October of 1970, we saw the loyal allies of Free China banisbed fmom their Embassy and Cpnsuls as.Red China was "recognized" and accomo- dated in our cities. In July of 623-5792 did the disciples of old. Now that you have read this far, will you turn to the Acts of'Apostles to read through its opening chapters as though you had neyer heard of them before. Perhaps some modemn translation will heip you open your eyes to the Glory that came to men in, those early days upon the Day of Pentecost. And may this Holy Spirit be youm help and give you a deeper experience of the strength of the Christian Life. 1976 we saw a new Cîtizensbip Act which relaxed Canadian immigration laws while reducing waiting fime for citizenship from five yc-ars to tbree yeams. Between a massive increase in government spendinig, incneased civil' servants Canada's armed forces have been downgraded to a meme 80,000 (Cuba itself bas 87 tbousand troops deployed in Africa alone!). Notwitbstand- ing the massive cost of spreading the French language from "sea .n sea" the bureaucratic intenference into the nations business and industry finds employers harassed, restricted and controlied as ne ver before. The trouble is, once opened, the Pandora's box of permis- siveness perversion and pagmatism is difficult to close. But closed it must be if this once great nation of Canada is to survive another decade. Yours sincerely, Patrîca Young Bowmaniv-i lle- - Letter To The Editor It~,utrtub jPeter 3iinto D.
