ie 4+ Lt There is no doubt in my mind that people who live victoriously and creatively and healthfully find the source and power of that new life in God. For when one experiences God‘s forgiveness and fellowship one can never be the same. How can a person feel lonely, victimized, empty or purposeless when he walks with God? Such a person does not need to escape from the problems of life by using liquor, drugs and by engagâ€" | ing in a furious round of activities. For in God he _ has been given a purpose in Mfe. That, I suggest, is the outworking of the best gifts listed above. Three latin phrases will help us in understanding this spiritual experience. These pharses are: Deo Volenteâ€"God willing: Deo Juvanteâ€"God assisting: Deo Favanteâ€"God approving. When life is thus oriented, it can achieve victory in today‘s living. This of course is the watershed of faith,. ‘When an individual can face life with its trembâ€" lings and tortures, its high points and happiness, he is on his way to spiritual maturity of the highest order. But the to this pilgrimage is the surrender of life, fi:gcmd nll-aflchncy“lol God who in up a new Iving way. :&".’.!El"."m&"* "The way of man is When a person experiences God in what Martin Buber calfs the ‘"Iâ€"Thou‘" relationship he changes his life‘s emphasis. He puts first things first; he develops an increasing awareness of God; he becomes alive to people and their needs. I suggest to you that such a person cannot be victimized by anxiety and tension. In giving himself to God and to people he has overâ€" come himself and it was from that previous unconquerâ€" ed self that all his problems arose. It‘s amazing the transformation that takes place when life becomes Godâ€"oriented. As we look down history‘s pathways we see that the moral history and achievements of man are always the story of a falterâ€" ing, wondering search for life‘s meanings and endurina values.‘ I suggest that this search ends (and paradoxiâ€" cally begins again) when the soul encounters God and really begins to live. When C. S. Lewis, author of Screwtape Letters an other volumes, was converted (and his was a long and gradual appropriation of God) he said that for the first time things made sense. That‘s true even in times of deepest trouble. When sickness comes, tragedy strikes, anxieties rise, frustrations appearâ€"these become stepâ€" ping stones in spiritual understanding, not stumbling blocks in the way of one‘s understanding. For instance, when sickness comes one might be tempted to say "Why did this happen to me?" whereas now one says "What can I learn and what contribution can I make during this illness." Such a life, while experiencing anxieties, tensions and frustrations, will never be vicâ€" timized by them. M May I share my solution with you? I give it to you as a committed person, as a person who has no doubt that Jesus Christ, revealed to us in the Scriptures, is the binding, integrating force that makes life complete. He is the power by which life is bound up into a unity. And in this life committed to Christ for every how! of the wind there is a bird‘s song, for every snowflake there is a flower, for every day of shadow there are days o brightness. If sorrow endures for a night, joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30: 5). = Thurs, December 14, 1961 The Weston Times Advertiser What are some of the qualities that life needs as the basis for a happy, dynamic and successful life. 1 would like to list the best gifts of life. I am sure no one would disput their relevancy. Here they are, not necessarily in‘ order of importance: Faith, The glow of health, Craftsmanship, Knowledge, Beauty, Friendship, Selfrealization and Adventure. Very few people today can lay claim to all of these gifts. For one there may be the glow of health but the lack of friends; for another, the opportunity for adventure, but never the experience of selfâ€"realization. The basic question is this: how can one really have a life of victory, and achieve the best gifts of life? I feel that humanism does not have the answer to life‘s problems. Humanism rejects the "religious eleâ€" ment" in man too arbitrarily; and humanism leads a person to a delusive sense of selfâ€"sufficiency. Yet in all fairness one must admit that such people often reach high and noble attainments in life. This procedure to enable people to achieve a wellâ€" oriented life is good â€" as far as it goes. But time and again people come to the place where they must deal with God, and all the shibboleths of psychology will not clear up moral stain and failure. Humanism is often put forth as a possible solution to life‘s problems. The humanist is one who is conâ€" vinced that religion (and in our country he means tacitly, the Christian faith) is wholly irrelevant to life today. He contends it is possible to build the good life without reference to the existence or nonâ€"existence of God. (If one wants to learn more of humanism a good source book is Walter Lippman‘s A Preface to Morals). Last week we concluded our definitions of anxiety, tensions and destiny and ended with a consideration of science as the solution to life‘s problems. We decidâ€" ed that science has never felt capable of making proâ€" nouncements in the moral realm and is therefore inâ€" adequate as a solution to life‘s problems. We turn now to consider the role of psychology and the help it can offer. It is estimated that the sale of literature dealina with psychology far outstrips that of philosophy and theology. So it has a farreaching audience. Not only that but psychology has a firm foothold in mediâ€" cine, education and in modernâ€"day business. In adâ€" vertising, "motivational research" tries to determine human behaviour and fashion advertisements to take advantage of man‘s psychological structure. When you bought that hat ("and I didn‘t really need it, you know â€"I can‘t understand why 1 bought it") you were n~ â€" suaded by advertisements based on sound psycholo,‘â€" cal principles. Broadly, a psychologist helps people to solve probâ€" lems by three methods: (a) Redefinition, (b) Recognition, and (c) Integration. By this method, sin or wrongdoing is redefinied as products of a diseased imagination. the past with all its mistakes is dredged up to be faced in the experience of maturity, and the patient is taught to see the pattern of life and his place in it.

If it wasn‘t for the help of a publi¢â€"minded citizen the Well, sir, I don‘t think they are looking in the;right direcâ€" tion. They would find them in abundance from the working class or from people with limited financial means. If we were to give these young peoâ€" ple an opportunity to study there would be no shortage in the world of science. I have lived a long time in this old world and have had time for reflection. The right to study is unfortunately reâ€" stricted to the few wealthy. I have read &n article reâ€" cently about the shortage of students for the medical proâ€" fession. What is the basis for Mrs. Walker‘s _ statement? _ How could any percentage of parâ€" ents shown approval when they were NOT asked if they favor this instruction? They were asked if they wished their child removedâ€"which is a totally different thing. Is this a justification for saying that all those who don‘t want their child to undergo the humiliating _ experience _ of exemption â€" approve of reâ€" ligious education in the pubâ€" lieschools? Sin I was watching a television panel discussion this week about religious education in the public schools. One of the panelists, Mrs. Isobel Walker, a member of the North York school board, made the asâ€" tonishing statement that a survey taken by the board reâ€" vealed that 75 per cent of the township‘s parents _ favored religious instruction in the schools. Les Taylor, leads his choir in preparation for the Festival of the Nine Lessons and Carols to be held on Sunday, December 17. Sir Let us resist the temptation to say flatly, "I cannot memorize." Let us be wise enough to start with, "The Lord is the strength of my life," and we will find it so all thought captivating, all weakness consuming, untii the God who is areater than any evil power will truly become the strength of our lives. LET THE POOR STUDY How are we to stand against the evil that seeks to captivate our minds? God says in His word that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. We need to memorize the word of God, not just a verse or two, but whole chapters and Psalms. This is the way our souls will become strong. Our minds will become a bulâ€" wark, fortressed by the power that is contained in the word, until it translates itself into living . . . living and loving for God. A missionary, relegated to solitary confinement for a very long period, resisted brain washing and maintained her sanity by reciting chapter after chapter of the word of God. In his democracy of ours we are left open to many influences, both good and evil, and how we react to them will be governed by the wisdom within. The Honorable Walter Dinsdale in an address to a qgathering of Christian writers stated his feelings as he watched a Communist film, where the youth of the land stood in Lenin Square and sang with fiery zeal the Communist Internationale: This the miqhty'conflict‘ Stand, each in his place The Communist Internationale Will be the human race. The intense consuming zeal . with which those young people sang their battle hymn caused Mr. Dinsâ€" dale to be very conscious of a power, a sinister power coiled within the heart, ready to gyrate itself in a frenzy of hate against all that is good and right and holy. The fire burned brightly in the middle of the tepee, the little yellow flames darting up and down in gay thythm. The little Cayuse child crept slowly forward fascinated by the sight. The young Indian mothser watched as the child reached forth his hand, but made no effort to stop him. It is an old Cayuse philosophy that it is better for a child to learn through experience just what constitutes danger, rather than to be constantâ€" ly protected from it.

In many instances the sons of the wealthy would not have made the grade at public school if it wasn‘t for their money, and the sons of the poor did exâ€" tremely well but were denied the opportunity to continue. Of course this is not true in all cases, but you can see that with right assistance from the government and the various . school boards the shortage of medical students could be quickly appeased. Also this right about face would change the whole outâ€" look of the young people. It would help to put a stop to unemployment and â€" juvenile delinquency. The public knows how much money is wasted that could be put to help the suffering humanity and the cause of science.
