After two weeks in South Africa, 1 arn reminded that for a better perspective of your own country, there is no substitute for a few days away frôâm it. I'd like to give you E"few of my impressions bdfore the jet lag wears off entirely, and perhaps before the comforts of homre erode my willingness to say thirlgs that a lot of people won't like. In the first place, there are flot just two factions at work in South Africa. There are dozens. And white South Africans have no monopoly on racial prejudice. In the second place, apartheid, one of the mosi hide- ous pieces of legisiation ever devised, is on its death bed. In the third place, white South Africans, as a group, are no better or worse, given their envirofiment, than an equivalent cross-section of white Canadians. And, in the fourth place, a relatively peaceful settiement is more ikely, as 1 see it, than a-bloody revolution. My overwhelming impression is that what white and black South Africans need most, at this point, is friends, They do flot need any more lectures from people who haven't the faintest idea what the problems are. They do flot need sanctions, disinsbstment, or United Nations resolutions. In, my considered opinion. anything which further hurts the South African economy at, this point, an economy which is already in recession, wilI make the possibifiiy of peaceful seuliement less likely, and might even be a factor in triggering bloody revolution. As friends, we might just be able to help the South Africans. We have more in common than we suspect. The uneasy truce in this country between French and English parallels the tension between Afrikaners and English in South Africa. The whites in Canadian socie- ty have wronged their native people in the same way, if flot to the same degree, that the whites of1 South Af ri- ca have wronged the blacks, and in the same way that both whites and blaçks have wronged South Africa's indigenous people, the Bushmen. We are a bilingual, multi-cultural society. South Af rica is a multi-lingual, multi-cultural, multi-racial society, and they have been more successful with rniultî-lingualism than we have ever dreamed of being with bilingualism. Change is inevitable in South Af rica, and the whites know it, whether they agree with or not. But the whites of South 4.frica are afraid that in righting the present wrongs, human nature being what il is, South African blacks wili faîl off the other side of the horse. If that happens, then the next Great Trek for white South Afri- cans will be into the ocean. In my view, it is as important for us to befriend and counsel black South Africans, to moderate their under- standable extremism, as it is for us to befriend and cool out the unloveable state president of South Africa, FW Botha. In any event, we should stop throwing stones, flot just because we live in a glass house, but because South Africa's windows are aiready broken. Kendal News Our Canadian poet Btiss Carman in his beautifut poem "Vestigia" has told us how he found the ominipresent God in Nature. I took a day to search for God, And found Him not. But as 1 trod By rocky tedge, through woods untamed Just where one scarlet iiy flamed, 1 saw bis footprint in the sod. Then suddenly ail unaware Far off in the deep shadows where A sotitary hermit thrush Sang through the holy twilight bush I heard bis voice upon the air. And even as 1 marvelted how God gives us Heaven here and now In a stir of wvind that hardly shook The poplar leaves beside the -brook His hand was ight upon my brow. 'At tast wvith evening as 1 turn- ed Homeward, and thought what 1 had learned And ail that there was stii to probe 1 caught the glory of His robe Where the tast fires of suniset burned.

On Sunday moning we had a real downpour perhaps the tail-end of hurricane Etena. It was such a dark duli morning, maybe a number of folks slept in.

They sang "Blessed assurance Jesus is mine" The children's story centred around the wheat of western Canada. Each farmer is important so each child is important in God's grainary. Since il was your scribes' birthday, Steveni Hellebust ptayed on his bugle, "The Lord's My Shepherd", then Steven and Roît' Heilebust sang as a duet, "Dear Hearts and gentie people who live in My home town,- accom- panied by their brother An- dre\w. The scripture reading was Romans 12:3-8 and i Peter 4, 10 $& il.

At the home of Mrs. Margretta Stevens the September meeting of Kendal Ulnited Church Women was held, one week eariy August 28th, ýýith eight ladies and two girls present. Mrs. D. Younigman opened the mneeting with the poem "Harvest Offering" followed by t-be singing of "The Lord's My Shepherd" and the Lord's Prayer. Mrs. M. Stevens gave the devotionai on, '"The Psalms." The psalms are realiy the Jewisb hymnbook. Some date back to antiquity. David may or may not have shepherd. A shepherd had to be a brave man to drive off wiid animais. David slew a lion and a bear. Sheep must have clear, stili water. They are timid of fast flowing water. ,A shepherd was ail alone for weeks when he took the sheep up to higher pasture. If a sheep got tost he had to look for it in dangerous places. In ail this we are thinking of God, "The Good Shepherd." He must love themn so much that he is ready to lay down bis life. That is just what Jesus did. He lay down bis tife. We have troubles sickness and death but always some joy lies just around the corner. When troubles come say, "The Lord is my Shepherd. Please give back the joy of ife." Roll Cati: Tell the name of a good book you have read. Answers: Papa's Wife, Nor- ma (Norma Zimmers Life) Nathaniel Hawthorne story of the Pilgrims.
