ORONO ýWEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, lUNE -2nd, 19M "~ITrouble" endal Fagles Preduce Fnom fthc United Church Scripture: St. Luke 14:, 7-14 Jesus liad been L,ýited te fie home of a wealtliy Pharisce. If was one of tic occasions where hie took particular notice o f low flic otier gucsf s tricd te, manipu- lafe fhemnselves into flic rosf fav- ourable positions of prestige, and he -toid a story. In Jesus' parable the seramble for seafs lad taken place ,and ap- parently tic guest of lionour had been out manipulated and was sit- ting, a long wayý from the hosf. According te their protocol lie siouid have becan eciniag nexf to fie iost. Tic host was put in the embarrassing po-ition of ra- mnoving serneone cisc and -pufting the guest of lionour in his place. With this story as the basis for his feadiing Jesus said, -"Evcry- one thaf exaltefh himself shail be exaltcd." We have ail had cnough exper- ience in the gentle nrf -of self- promotion to recognize flic rele- vance of the parable. Deep in ail of us is the desire for importance, a reaching' up for the greafness with which we were originally endowed. Alfred Adler, one. of the fatiers of modern psychiafry, set this down as flic dominant impulse of human life. Every human bcing is born with an instinctive wisi to excel, to bie significant, to be esteemed, to be superier. Apparently thene 15 no way we eanarîd ourselves of this desire. What wouid 111e lie wifli- out-the invigorating pride of self- respect, tic ambition to lie sup- crior, fie desire to excel? One of flic principal doctrines of the Christian faith lias fo 'do with flic dignity offlic individual, the importance of the person. And Jesus, far from repressing tlic hunger in man for greatness, tauglif lis disciples to neacli for if., He, spent a good dleal,,of ils time feachiag tîmid p.-opl1e,,wio' feit thcy dida'f count for any- thiag, thaf in the siglit of God, tliey were supremely, eterýnnlly important. Man's disconteiif wifli boiag nothiag, nobody is flic stir- ring of God's Spirit la lis soul. So flien, flic sin lies not ia our hurg'a-r for importance but in the shabby, pathetie ways la whicli \ve rencl iti. The hunger must fiad an outlet somewlicre, if nef on a higi level, thea on a low. Inafils parable we get a snap- shot-glimpse of some of flic self- dçefeating ways in which mien clamorously pusli for if, -shoviag ofliers out of flic way fo get if, seekiag flic appearance of impor- tance wifliout posscssing flie real- if y. There are many wroag ways of reaching for the riglit encjý Fault finding is one. Unkind critieismn of ofiers is iavariably a cover for mediocrify. If we cnn'f push our- selves aliend, wec en achieve somefhing of flic samne resuif by pulling flicoflier feliow bnck. But life neyer snys to flic jenlous, the envieus, fli crcifical, "Friend, come Up ligler"TaInf, the re- verse is truc for lie who exaifs himself by low-grading other people invaiably ends un la, a lower seat at flic table of lIfe.

T. Greauetf was the winning pitcher while Paul Jones started the game for, Kendal. Kendal played weil having il lits but were able to drive in only one run while leaving 16 men on base throughout the game. Grant Yeo with flirce hits, Fra- ser Wallace with a triple and T. Carleton with a double, were, Ken- dal's best men af bat. On the following day Ralph Kennedy lead thec Vagies to a-i 11-4 victory over 'he BellevilleIx termediates pifching the whole game (14 strike-outs) and t~ollect- back.Yet he somchow manages to do it. In a thousand subtie ways he centres himself in the spot- light, puts his ego on exhibition, marches his accomplishmcnts up and down through the. conversa- tion. - I, I, I, shows up in many ways. There is the story of the frog who wantcd to get to Flonida for the winfer. Now,, the frog had no menas of transporation but lie liad fwo friends in the goose fnm- ily Who were well équipped for flight. So flic frog located a bit of strong string, then persuaded ecd goose to f ake an end whilc he wif h lis strong jaws seized the striag in flic middfle. It was a pleas ant fliglif and was proceed- ing well until a 'spectator on the ground below looked up and mov- cd witi astonished admiration, snid, "Who in the world invcnted that idea?" Tie poor frog, unable to restrain the impulse to take full credif for tic performance, opened his mouti to say, "I" and flic spectator had frog legs for breakfast! We are ail mor e or less afflicf- cd wifh this kind of "I" trouble. Psychintrists fell us that one of the ruliag motives in mental i11- ness is tic obsessive desire to free oneself from the, torment of inferiority. Too oftcn, however, we use pctty and self-defeafing ways of self promotion. Our ideas of greafness and Jesus' ideas of greatncss are strangely incompat- ible. The way of Jesus- is that fthce first mark of superiorify is the opposite of self-promotion, it is iumility. Truly great people anc humble. Gencrally speaking we do not -admire the proud and the arrogant. The second mark of greatncss is scîf-embacement, not abasement. If is fthc getting of self eut of fie cenfer. One of flic grent truths about life is that as long as a person is preoccupied witih h'imself, forever nursing his ego, guarding ils reputation, push and shoving for recognition and prestige, lie is living in slavery to self. The MORE HE TRIES TO MAKE AN IMPRESSIONT, THE LESS IMPRESSIVE HE IS. The secret 'of superiority is in forgcfting self. Superior people are surpringly careless about sceming superior. When life comes snying, "come up higlier", fliey seem ,faken by surprise. Great people- are serving people. As Jesus said, "lie tiat is greaf- est among you shall be your ser- v ant."
