The Empty
Pew
By Jene Miller
The Church has NOT failed
when it has made someone
angry.
The Church has only failed
when it has not forced people to
deal with their feelings and to
grow out of childish ways.
It is terrifying to anyone
who loves the Church to see the
extent to which it has
mollycoddled the petulent and
peevish immaturity of people.
People who have "been a
member of the Church for 50
years", and still think like
kindergartners in their spiritual
life are the real failures of the
Church. People who have "been
a member of the Church for 50
years", and still operate out of a
basis of fear, hate, or distrust,
are the real failures of the
Church. People who have "been
a member of the Church for 50
years", and still pout like
pre-adolescents when they can't
have their own way are the real
failures of the Church.
Because, you see, the Church
really can heal the souls of men.
But that healing comes only by
discipline and intentional loyalty
to processes by which spiritual
maturity and freedom are
attained. The reason that the
Church is too often full of those
who are possessed by the
demons of hate, fear, greed, lust,
or suspicion, is that it has failed
to hold people up against those
stern and divine disciplines by
which demons are cast out.
The way of Life Eternal is
not some easy, complacent,
defensive stance of personal
selfishness—even selfishness for
Heaven. (Jesus was quite clear
that you can't save your life by
trying to save it!) The Way of
Life Eternal is a way of
submitting one's self to the
mission of God's Eternal Word,
which makes all the internal,
psychological, defensive
mechanisms useless and
unnecessary. It is a way which
makes the threat of death — or
even worse for modern man, the
threat of tithing — immaterial.
If one must die — or tithe —
to see the victory of God's
Mission, then the question is
simply, "How important is
God's mission to the saving of
his world?"
We must be more afraid of
failing God than of men. We
must love mankind in God's
name, not our own, enough to
demand that people grow in
grace, or face the realization that
they have not accepted the
freedom God gives. We must
dare to be God's people, not
merely conditioned creatures of
a transient culture.
Maybe we need a sign on the
front of churches which reads:
"Children OVER 18 not
admitted"!
WI annual
Huron West District Annual
of the Women's Institute will
have Miss Helen McKercher of
Toronto as their guest speaker
on May 31 in the Londesboro
United Church. The Londesboro
branch will be hostess for this
day-long annual meeting.
Reports will be given and
Mrs. Norman Coulthard of
Stratford will give the report of
F.W.I.O. and Mrs. Charles Munro
of Embro, president of the
London area, will bring
greetings.
Everyone is welcome and the
morning session begins at 10
a.m.
June 1 is Census Day.
What's new with you?
This is your chance to tell Canada
who you are and how you're doing.
Census day is almost like voting day.
It's your right and privilege. Your chance to
let Canada know all about yourself and your
family. How and where you live. It's as
secret as the ballot. All these facts become
statistics. And many organizations use them
to plan for our future.
This is how governments know where
to spend money for the most necessary things:
hospitals, schools, housing projects, roads
and highways, community centres, parks.
For example, a high percentage of
children under five in one section of
your community may alert the board
of education to the need for a new
school. Or, districts with a high
proportion of sub-standard
housing may be identified and
ear marked for urbal renewal and
development programs. Things
like that.
It's a do-it-yourself census.
Any day now, you'll
receive your census qu estionnaire. The
idea is that everyone in Canada must fill
in that form on June 1, If a pre-paid return
envelope came with the population census
form complete the questionnaire and
mail it back. If there is no envelope,
don't mail it but hold the form until it
is picked up by a census representative.
This will probably be the first time
you've ever had the chance to fill in your
own census form. The old way of sending
census takers around knocking on doors and
asking you questions served a useful purpose
in its day. But we've found, after many trial
censuses, that people do a better job when
they fill in their questionnaires themselves.
If you are a farm operator.
If you have a farm, the census
representative will bring you the Census of
Agriculture form along with the population
census form. The extra information you give
is important for government farm programs
and farm organizations in the years ahead.
Some time altar June I, the census
representative will call on you to pick up the
completed census forms. So don't mail
them back.
What happens if somebody doesn't
fill in his census form?
Everyone in Canada is required by
law to be counted in the national census.
If you don't bother, a census representative
will have to come around and fill in your
questionnaire with you. So, if you do it
yourself, you'll save time and money for
everyone.
We need facts about you
your family. Otherwise we won't have
whole story.
Give a few minutes to the Census of
Canada. And Canada wilt give you a
better future.
It's your census. Everyone has the
right to be counted. Everyone has the right
to expect the information he gives to be
treated in absolute confidence. And you can
be sure that the information will be used
for the good of all Canallans.
So, don't forget. June 1.
Tell us what's new.
