ORONO WEEKLY TIMESi TUURSDAY, AUGUST 7th, 1969 A New Humility (Continued frein page 4) relationslhip to God. Neil Arm- strong's mother said, "Praise God £rom Whom ail blessings flow. 1 hope thxe noon landing will be good for ail mankiind." There is a new hunility about the concept of Gad. In the begin- ning people thought there were many gods, ln trees, stones and streams Who were jealous, vin- dictive and bad tempered. But graduaily there is a growth in the understandin;g of Gad untüin lxthie great ýProphets we learn of a God of love. Eventually we sce God revealed i n Jesus Chlrist. Now mann is walking on thxe moon and wtth it is anew hurnllity about the greatness of Gad. But a tragic thing is that many live for the superficial. Some people ýcer- plained that "Startrek" was can- ccllcd. They preferred the unreal to the real. When the great mom- ents ofhistoryp were happening thcy were toying with trivialities. There can be no hulmility for people like that. But for many, the greater the successes of men of science, then the more real God becomes. There is a new humility in the conceptof creation. In the past, many despised the Bible accounts of creîtion and ruled out God as creator. But men of science are proving how orderly the worl is. The moon flight took men 250,000 miles to land on the moon at the place *ad tý'me thev intended. Be- cause there is an orderly universe thcy wcre able to return into the narrow 30 -rie1 x«de slit called the "windowv" back into the earth's' atmosphere. Because of the things thcy found, there is good reason to believe that the moon was formcd at the same time as the earth and, from the sanie primordial ma -.,hsCaus- es a new, humilîitY for some re- garding creation by the power of God. There is a new humility in the co-.- ept of communication. Man staod on tihe moon and talked to men on ecarth. On T.V. viewers watchedc men walking on the moon 'fJis for Big Action: fun- packed, excitement-filled ac- tion; trail-blazing action, hunt- ing, ice-fishing and tow-skiing Action!

They used the channels that God had created. And we hawe - stumbled because we thought it difficuit to communi- catt, with God. The astronauts be- lievcd that God was just tas close to them on the tnoon as on earth. A new day is dawning hen well have to. be, shaken out of tlVj ruts we :are in, by the great changes and discoveries that will take place. Not a day of despair but a dzy wixen God becomes more real ani religion takes on, a deeper meaning. There is a new humility in the arcýa of steWardship. lu the book of Gecsis, God said to those wixom He had created, "Be fruit- fui and lrnltipy and releuish thxe carth and subdue it.", Man has turned it axround usuaWýy and has depleted the carth. Whcrever he goes lie destroys. Bruce West wrot e' in the Globe and Mail, words so real, meaningful, and important tixat I quote, "Over the millions -of centuries, Spacecraft Earth hâs developed a most in- tricate systeni of supplying the needs of we whio travel on it, a system far more coniplex than tbnt guided by the computers of Apollo XI. In Apollo's cominand capsule and lunar -module the things nec- cýssary to sustain life are treated by the astronauts with extreme care and delicacy, because if thcy were to be reckles'sly cx- hausted too soon, there would be no way of repiacing them in the unfricndly environment of outer space. Yct on the great spaceship that spawned that tiny piece of machinery which journeyed to the moon, we continue to act like idiots. Not only -do we fight and kili cach other on the cr-aft we must share,,,but we casually pois- on -its air and water supply, plun- der its * resources and throw' wrenches into its delicate comn- puter with utter' abandon, like a swvarm of nischievous ajxd de- struictive meonkeys running riot in a scicntific laboratory. - We kil off an entire species or severely _,upset the balance of na- ture with things like DDT and hardly give it la second thoug1hi. At one time there might have been some excuse for such behav- iour, when the world seemed to be tan almost limitlcss place with room for almost limitless folly. But surely no man looking back from space upon our world, sur- veying it from pole to pole, hang- ing there like a friendly oasis in a sea of nothingness, can ever really think that way, again. Through the marvels :of the elect- ranic age, we have ahl been able to share in the experience. If this 'experience makes us even a littie wiser, then'the money spent on sp-je research may have purchas- eci for us one of the greatest bar- gains in all history of mankind." There is a sense in which the Churcli is a spaceship too. Carl E. Braaten comments, "The Church is an expedition on the way to ex- plore the future, it is not a pil- grimage to revisit ail the sacred itsof the, past." Certainly the sites of the past are meaningful, important, touching stones, but, we cannot live by them. God hé- cornes real for us when we are reïQdy to take fliglit into the fu- ture. Real Christianity caîls us to dedication and sacrifice, to en- lighted minds and to a s ensitive expression of lifte. When we find that wc will find hunility. 'It al points to Jesus Christ Men, for centuries, have stum- bled ovcr the humble facts of the birth of Christ, but it is the waY to peace and blessing. Before a man can find God or find himsclf Local-Newsi ,Mr. and, Mrs. E. Boughen and family hiave moved from the a- partmen ü on Mein street to their newly purchased home on Division Street. Mr. and Mrs. Win. Bu nting and family; Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Mi and Mrs. Don, Shannon' of Scun Thorpe, Enlai4a rrive4d Sat- urds y, August ,2nd to spend-,a month with Mrs. Shannon's broth- er, Mr. T'rm Lewis and family. The last time the brother ami sis- or be ri/ht with mankind, he thas to ie humbled. True Christianity is an experience of being hum- blee1, so that a proper perspect- ivc is gained, then a real purpose is realized. It has been thrilling to realize what men of scierg'e >an discover. The doorway is ýopening to a clearer and better understanding of the nature of Goil and a much brcnder expression of belief in God by many of the greatest minds. As Aidrin says, when you consider -thc heavens and the hcavcnly bodies and look back at earth suspcnde.d like a bail in spare, you arc rcmindcd of God. And we have been called to be oood stewards of this littie por- ti-on of the universeý which God 1-.-s given us. ~Ac Chr Fý-is Re'vg been called to let our inrfluence 'n1ay unDon so. cicty in such a way that it bas a '-ed-eming effeet.
