The responsibility of elevating
the nutrition and health standards
of homes across Ontario, the far
reaching impact of the training' of
4-H Homemaking club girls, the
part Women's Institute members
have played in 'the rural farm
homes, as to Farm Safety and the

our support to all projects at
National and International levels.
A beautiful story was presented
by Mrs, Kenneth Chapin and Mrs.
Chester Jackson, Brant County in
music and song of the Women's
SUBMITTED BY C. F. BARNEY
The line between right and
wrong has become so indistinct to
many persons that it is almost
imperceptible. Policemen take
pay-offs for overlooking traffic
violations; citizens pad expenses
on income-tax returns; married
persons are unfaithful to their
mates and youths cheat on school
examinations. Once almost
everyone would have viewed such
behavior as shocking, obviously
wrong and deserving of censure.
But now, while not being fully
approved, it is generally accepted
as natural--the way of life. "They
all do it," people are frequently
heard to say.
What is more, it is considered
uncharitable and unkind to expose
the lie or publicize the wrong of
another, People feel that it may
not be the best policy to deceive
and be untruthful, but to make
known the deception and uncover
falsehood is regarded as being
even worse. To do so often opens
one to greater censure than is
received by the person who
commits the wrong,
This apathetic acceptance of
corruption and falsehood is also
noted in religious matters,
especially now when ecumenical
efforts are seeking to unite the
many different religions. The
teachings and practices of a
religious organization may
admittedly be false,
misrepresenting true
Christianity, yet to expose them
as such is viewed as unchristian,
You: o,-doubt, thave, noteelnthis to
be'sd,' "
Well, then, how do you feel
about the matter? What if
someone spoke out publicly
against certain religious leaders,
saying to them: "You are from
your father the Devil, and you
wish to do the desires of your
father...,When he speaks the lie,
he speaks according to his own
disposition, because he is a liar
and the father of the lie." Would
you think such language
unbecoming to a Christian? Even
though it were true, would you
consider it wrong to undermine
the reputation of respected
religious leaders in that way?
What if a person used even
stronger condemnatory language,
saying: "Woe to you, theologians
and clergymen, hypocrites!
because you shut up the kingdom
of the heavens before men; for you
yourselves do not go in, neither do
you permit those on their way in to
go .in,.,Fools and blind
ones!,.. Woe to you, theologians
and clergymen, hypocrites!
because you resemble
whitewashed graves, which
outwardly indeed appear beautiful
but inside are full of dead men's
hones and of every sort of
uncleanness. In that way you also,
outwardly indeed, appear
righteous to men, but inside you
are full of hypocrisy and
lawlessness,, Serpents,
offspring of vipers, how are you to
flee from the judgment?"
Would such language
immediately cause you to labs'
the speaker an intolerant bigot?
Many people today may consider
such speech entirely improper
and unehristian. Yet those are the
words of our Lord Jesus Christ,
spoken to the respected religious
leaders of his day! The only
change in this direct quotation
from the Bible is the substitution
of the terms "theologians and
clergymen" for "scribes and
Pharisees". And this is most
appropriate, for these men were
the clergy of the first century
among the Jews, even wearing
distinctive garb to draw attention
to their office, a S many
clergymen do today, -See John
8:44 and Matthew 23;1-36,
But why did Jesus speak in this
way about these men? It was
because they had misrepresented
God and his teachings, Their false
religious traditions and practices
had misdirected the people from
the pathway of righteousness that
leads to the kingdom of God. On an
earlier occasion Jesus had said to
certain religious leaders:
"You have made the Word of
God invalid because of your
tradition, You hypocrites, Isaiah
aptly prophesied about you, when
he said: "'This people honours
me with their lips, yet their heart
is far removed from me. It is in
vain that they keep worshipping
me, because they teach
commandments of men as
doctrines." And so Jesus said to
his disciples; "Blind guides is
what they are. If, then, a blind man
guides a blind man, both will fall
into the pit." (Matthew 15;6-14)
So, then, when religious
leaders and organizations of
Christendom misrepresent God's
Word by teaching traditions of
men, is it wrong to expose their
false doctrines? When they claim
to be following Christ and yet mix
in worldly politics, is it a had
thing to publicize that their
actions are unChristian and
condemned by God? Should the
truth he suppressed because it
exposes falsehood and
corruption? Jesus never
hesitated to speak the truth, even
though he was killed at the
instigation of the angered
religious leader's for doing so,
.t,4 1
• Therefore,-,show ,,you
respond when pointed statements
are made about false religious
teachings and corrupt practice's?
Will you immediately condemn
the person or organization
making the expose? Do you feel it
is all right to teach lies and
misrepresent God's Word, but
wrong to expose 'the error?
Contrary to what some may think,
it is not unkind and unloving to lay
bare falsehood and corruption.
Remember the example of
Jesus Christ. He was the most
loving and kind person to walk the
earth. He was tender and
compassionate, even with sinful
harlots and tax-collectors.
Lovingly he forgave them their
transgressions and helped them
on the way to life, Rather than
advertise their sins, he covered
them over. Yet, at the same time,
in some of the strongest language
recorded in the Bible, Jesus
exposed the stubborn, haughty
religious leaders. This was
really a loving service, for the
false teachings and practices of
those religionists were leading
their followers to the pit of
destruction. The people needed to
know the truth if they were to gain
God's approval. (Matthew 23:15)
Therefore, it is right and
proper to speak out strongly
against falsehood and corruption.
A person or organization that in
imitation of Jesus Christ, has the
courage to do so, deserves
attention and respect."
