OlIONO WEEKLY TIMES,'TIIURSDAY, MARCH l4th, 1968 Taken from a sermon preached by Rev. Basil Long. Seripture Lesns: Mark 2: 18-22; 11 Coriathians 5: 17-21. Durig the course of Jesus' eexperiences with Ilis disciples .so(me people came ta Hum and .nsked why H1e and his disciples 'Ui thiings differently than John .adhis disciples and the Phari- sýecs and their disciples. In'his .answer Jesuis said, "No one. puts' xiew wine in old wine-skins; if he ýdoes, the, wine will burst the ,--k1ins. ai the wine is lost and soarc the skins." Back of the conversation was the question of ëchange. A short while ago saine of 'our -young people told us that change -es what they are longing for but *bÊht thev have hiot had the ex- perience ta know what it is they \-want. They believe there is value rlh il and that we, should al ýstrive ta bc open ta that which is new. Two ministers were talking - unie was a yaung man who was intensely interested in ail that tLhe new thinkers have ta say; ir-e 'other was an aider man of rigid andcanventional orthodoxy. , he oider man heard the younger mac iwith a kind of hall c,antemp- ýtuous tolerance and finally closed the conversation by saying, "The -When we try ta look at life in -soiety. thraugh the eyes of aur yroung peaple certain facts be- corne very important. We realize -that they live ini a generation where very few thiags are nat ,subject ta rapid change. It is a urewhen people are restless, t-neecrtain and dissatisfied; a time ..>hien most people have launched Týhemselves on an expeditian of cýeeking new thrills. They live in - turne when responsibility is hot readily accepted by the great nma- jority of ail ages, and most look £or the easy way out. Our afflu- «ut society'is money coasciaus ta Ithe extent that we feel that we ca'n buy almost anything. Our yowung people quite aaturally be- came part of our Society which Iýas ahnost everything done for x. -In the line of food you 'have ~aiyto inaffe it and you can have vt in a tin or package. Nor is it .%ecessary ta wait because we blave "instant' everything.

In this Point of view eaiiunething goad will be thrown -iside for something i'iferior just for the sake of chanige. This at- ,ýitude taward change is immature an,' deèidedly shallow. It is ap- ,parent in the area of T.V. enter- 1aietbeautiful music which ts changcd ta horrible off tones on dd beats, and even in the xzprid change of marriage part- ,acrs.

There are forins of church governinent, there are forms of ch îrch service, there are forins of - dswhieh eXDress our beliefs, which we sa often try to adjust and ta tinker wvith ia order to bring them up to date; we try ta patchl them.

Man's spiritual need does 'Pot change no matter how saphisticated he may be- came. The Bible tielis'(ils that Jes- us Christ is the same yesterday, taday and always. We are neyer ahead of Hlm; He is always a- head of us. H1e cannot be outdist- aiiced. No matter what aur age or the nature of aur soiety the answer to aur needs is ta be found in Hum. If we would seek ta show the way for aur yaung people and if they will honestly seek, the an- swer is given by Jesus himself when H1e said, "I, when I arn lifted upfroin the earth, will draw ail men ta myseif." We have every assurance that we shall not fail if we wili be fnith- fui in "Lifting up Christ. We may nced new ways of ex- pression and communication but we da not need a replacement for Christ.
