Sept. 26 Canoe Trip Christian Corner, e e e e e but a reflection of flhe deep calm ï7ater of the spirit out of which it cornes. It is primarily a discovery of soul, when God makes known his presence, where there are no words, no outward song, only the Divine Movement. This is the joy that keeps watch against ail the emissaries of sadness of mind and weariness of soul. This is the joy that comforts and is the compa- nion, as we walk even through the valley of the shadow of death. by Howard Thurman Questions or Comments? Write Box 179, Orono. Bible Study, Tues- day evenings 7:30 p.m. 983-5962. Total Christian Televisioni Channel 49. by Rev. Marg West What is the Source of your Joy? There are some who are depen- dent upon the mood of others for their happiness. They seem bound in mood, -one to another like Siarnese twins. If the other person is happy the happiness is immediately contagious. If the other person is sad, there is no insulation against - his rnood. There are some whose joy is dependent upon circ um stances. When things do not go well, a gloom settles upon them, and ail who touch their lives are caugh~t in the fog of their despair. There are somne whose joy is a matter of disposition and temrper- ment. They cannot be sad, because their glands will not let them. Their joy is not a matter for congratula- tions, or praise, it is a gift of life, a talent, a gratuitous offering placed in their organism. There'are some who must with their joy against.odds, squeeze it out of the aid ground of their liv- ing or wrest it from the stubborn sadness of circurnstances. 1 t is a deterrnined joy, sharpened by the zest of triumiph. There are still others who find their joy deep in' the hear'of their Christian experience. It is-not retal- ed to, dependient upon, or derived from, any circumstances or condi- tions in the midst of which they must live. It is a joy independent of ail vicissitudes. There is a strange quality of awe in their joy, that is Elec tion pro ce dure changes needed by GordMis In the rec ent provincial election, I had the opportunity to -help Plan, our camnpaign in Durham East, for the New Democrats. Uppermost in most, people's minds during the election was the environment. Our, group considered not erecting any signs at al in the interests of ex- cessive garbage and rapid dwindling land fill space. This plan was compromised by a-greeing to signs, but only using signs made from recycled material. We made the decision to use signs for one reason only, and that was to place the candidate's name before the public. To me, in future provin- cial elections, it would make much better sense to ban ail election signs, and place the party affiliation of each candidate on the ballot. On election day, I had a number of calîs from people who had not been placed on the elector's roll. This was brought about by not bc- ing homte when the enumeration took place, or failing to register on a certain date and time. in response to calîs I received, I instructed potential voters to go to the poli wth a neighbour who could swear to them as being a bonafide resident, qualified to vote. In ail cases they were not allowed to vote. The ruling was, if yau live in a rural area your neighbour can vouch for you, and you can vote. If you live in an urban area, your neighbour can'tvouch for you, and you can't vote., We need changes before the next provincial election that will take care of both signs- and the dif- ferences between urban and rural citizens. The present antiquated election rules have no place in today's socie- ty.
