Matter of Principle
J. Carl Hemingway
Sunday School lesson
was hpaded “The Christian and
his Neighbour”. Like the lawyer
of old the class asked "Who is
my neighbour”, then proceeded
to answer the question them
selves.
They decided that 100 years
ago, when. Canada was born,,
our neighbours were those who
helped with the barn raising,
the threshing, the wood-cutting
and a few reailly close neigh
bours were the ones who helped
with the “butchering”, spring
and fall.
Later our “neighbour” lived
farther
Church organizations followed
by service organizations began
to accept our donations and
minister- to “neighbours” we
have never seen.
Finally the class agreed that
.anyone anywhere in need is our
“neighbour”.
What are we doing about it?
Cointuibuting a few dollars a
year to missions of Some kind?

A Christian can hardly
satisfied with this liind
neighbourliness. But what else
can he do? Even if a Christian
sold all his goods and gave them
to the poor it would do noth
ing for the destitute through
out the world. , ■
There are a great many
Christians concerned about the
problem of suffering but are be
wildered _ as to what they can
db. We can learn from others.
I understand that in order to
attain full membership in the
Mormon Church the prospective
member must serve at least -one-
year, sustaining himself, as a
missionary for his church in a
distant field. Quite an idea to
enlarge their church and also to
make membership really mean
something. Perhaps all our
churches would do well to fol
low the Mormon example.
Why couldn’t it 'be a require
ment for membership in all our
churches that a year be spent in
Christian social service among
our more distant neighbours?
The rest of us, who are al
ready members could also serve
a year if physically able; other
wise we would be required to
put up the money necessary to
provide transportation and sus
tenance for the workers and
a good deal extra to relieve
the suffering for the “neigh
bours”.
Better still, why couldn’t the
government introduce the
“Draft”. In the United States
every able-bodied young man is
required to give three years of
his life to' the Armed Services.
Why couldn’t Canada “Draft”
our young men., and women too,
for a Peace Corp? TUien we
would know our neighbours.
