~-'--. ORONO WEEKLY TIMlES, WEDNESDAY,_FEBRUARY 16th, 1962 BITS AND PIECES FROM TUE SERMON When the traffic' signal chang- ed, two swarms of pedestrians flooded out into flie street. In the miidst of one crowd walked a tall, thin man who wlked- with a highly nervous step. There was a grim expression on his face, as though he miglit be iabouring umder some greaf strain. Ris jaw was firmly set- and lie looked strajghf ahead of hlm, giancing neither to the riglit or flie left, and seeing nothing and no one. Suddenly, anýos precesely in the middle of thé street, lie bumpý ed squarely into a heavy, good- natured individual with whom lie was evidenfiy .weii -acquainted, for the~ fat min called out cheer- ily, "Hi there, Tom! Where do you think you'me going?" If someone cailed to you saying, "Hi Tom, or Mary, or Bi 1, or Jack, or Susan; WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?" And supposîng you took -is very ser- iousiy, what woýuld your, answer be? I arn sure if we were ixiîse enough or clever enough to give if even a few, minutes of careful consideration once a week; flic heailhy and beneficiai rtèsults would begin to show up in our living within .a month. You who are young, and are, t;ýifilt in so many suffle ways to avoid t[le real issues of ife shoufdi' iso face the quéstion, for there is every reason~ to believe that in rnany ways ý-ou mray have been guided amiss. If this is so, THEN WHAT? Rf we are serious about the xight goals -and are concerned to inove in the. riglit direction then the first thing ta do is f0 dis- cover WHERE WE ARE. Modern life is a torrential thing. We are continuously boni- barded by opinions, ideas, sensa- tions, vitamins, automobiles, snowmobiles. Which way do. ive turm? Which way do we go7, There is an expression we use when we don't agree wifh some- thing, 11I don't buy that." Each of us ouglit to stop at regular times, take stock and ask, "JUST WHAT AM I BUYING?" Not oniy inflie niatter of THINGS, but about the kind of LIFE, and wliere does it aIl end, whether we are rich ini things and pour in soul? Rlere is a test which may help - Is niy religion making any real difference in my if e? Do my prayers produce any actu- ai p ower? Ain I the real owner of my prop- erty, or do my possessions pos- sess me? Are my present attitudes produc- ing for me the resuits 1 reaily want in iny life? If I shouid suddenly lose al I own. how mucli wouid 1 lie Worth? i\rn I a difficuit persoii to ive with? 1ilow inuch of a digappointment does it take to make me bitter? Preciseiy, wlieme arn I? And then as far as western civ- ilization is concerned ask, "How far have we come in the last 1500 years? in 1788, Edward Gibbon wrotc a bo(ok called THE DECLINE AND FALL 0F, THE ROMAN EMPIRE. In that book lie asked thc questtion, «'Why did Romfe fal]?" Heme is what hie came up with: (remember thisz man was not writing and relating to our gieicration. He wrote almost 200 years ago) "The underminin ,ig of the 'dig- iiyand sanctity of tihe home, which is the basis for human so- cicty. Iligliet ànd higlier taxes; the ~nding of public money for free hread and cireuses for the popu- lace. Trhe mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting, more brutal, more im- moral. The building of great arma- mnent s when. tlie real enemy was within the decay of individual respomsibiiity. The decay of religion; faith fading into mere form, losing touch with life, iosing Power to guide the people." Th ere 'is a very truc saying, "HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF." It is so easy to think we are going in one direction when, act- ually, we are speeding in another. Another question wich we,7 should often ask is, "suippose I arrive at the point twAard whIich I arn driving su furioisly, wil 1 then lie where I w7ant f0 lie? One thing is certain, if wýear going in a dlifferelit, direction than God, we are going in the wrong direction.
