LOPE THAT SUNDAY
Last Sunday. was one of • those t
days. Filthy outside,; with mud'and'
rain ' and wind. Dismal inside
with everybody bored and crabby.
• I moochd, around •the house
gloomily,wishing " the golf course
was dry, or. the trout season open.
Then I started thinking about.
what Sunday ,really • meant, was
ashamed of myself, and cheered'
up considerably. •
As some wit remarked: to our
ancestors, it was the Holy Sab-
bath; to our great grandfathers,
The. Lord's• Day; to our fathers,,
Sunday. We. call it The Week "End.
The Sabbath is'not • of Christian
origin, It was originally .a Jewish
holy ; day, on the last day of the
week. 'Like most, of the Maws; of
the anent Hebrews, r- observance
of the Sabbath was. a combination
of religion and `common sense.. Man
needs. a' day of 'rest:. in every
seven He demands ' punctuation
marks in' . the : life sentence he is
serving.' ;
However, ' there's a vast differ-
ence .between the Sabbath of :.the
ancient' Hebrew•" and the Sunday
of modern man.
The former ` lived . a . pastoral
life. •: When the Sabbath came
g�
alon all he had to do was. lie.
around and count his: sheep. He
didn't have to. roll, . groaning, :out
of `bed: after a late Saturday night,
around trying . to, get his
family off' to church,' wash the car
or` catch fish or. play golf,' drive
80 miles• : to visit • some relatives
Of his wife, and 'tear' ' home' to
watch the,hockey game.
If it were hot for ,Sunday, the
Saturday night`' bath. would . become
obsolete. If it were ` not ' for ' Sun-
day, many Men would go through
life without shining their. shoes.
If it were not for Sunday, many.
'women' would never get a new
y retirement
Perhaps--it'seems--far away now, but -the year4
I, have a habit of flying by. It's . never.. too ,early
•
a.,
. Sunday , is, a great .comfort to
those intent on getting 'to heaven.
They don sober garb and pious
mien on. Sunday, morning. On Mon-
day, they go back to the normal
pastimes of trying to scramble to
political, social and financial emi-
nence over the crushed . and bleed
ing bodies and souls of, their fel-
low Christians, secure in , t h, e
knowledge that ° if 'there is a rush
for seats, on . the judgement day,
they will have some pullwith the
management.
Sunday means church. Church,
too, jis : a good • thing. First ' of all,
it provides employment for min-
isters, , and employment,•. or lack
of it, is pretty., -important • these
'days., Secondly, it provides.: pro
bably the only • place . -in modern
society where , people ' wholike to..
sing, . but •sound like hyenas, • can
v e n t their . frustration ' without
someone telling 'themto shut up..
After" church, what? There's no-
thing : particularly 'Christian about
gorging oneself with food and sit-
ting \in . a stupor looking at .:tele-'
vision
'What : about 'a. ' nice.: Christian,
game 'of golf, 'with' no swearing,
when one slices? What about . a
little walk . in 'the'. woods, worship-
ping.. the wonderful world of : na-
ture • that was. created -for • one?
And if one happened to look down
and see; a 'fishing . rod ..in one's
hand,. one ° shouldn't : 'worry too
much about it: . .
.:Remember the.... old , adage
Evangelists ' may rave and shout,
But .only God can make .a, ,fr'.out.,
