At Less Than Cost In a dictionary, the word "mood" is described as a "temporary or capricious state of Mind in regard to passion or feeling." This definition doesn't illuminate the variety and in- tensity of an individual's moods, During a lifetime, each of us experiences the gamut of moods ranging from ecstatic to despairing. There are "everything is beautiful" moods. Everywhere we look, we see beauty, good will and happiness. Our neigh- bourhood is the best place in the world to live. There are "look out world, here I come" moods. Our self- confidence overflows. We ex- claim, "World I'm going to conquer you!" During these exultant moods, we conclude the planet earth is extremely for- tunate to have us aboard. From the high points of life we A comparison between world Christians And pieces of wood was brought about Friday by Bev. Henry Van Essen, guest speaker of the annual World Day of Prayer. The. Day of Prayer service, held at Bethel Reformed Church, Exeter, drew about 80 persons. The theme for the day was "Become Perfectly One.” Rev. Van Essen, minister at Bethel Reformed Church, said sonic think that all people are the same because of similar ways of thinking, doing, living, and dressing. Buthe said they are still very much separate, "Being one does not mean being the same," he said. lie drew a comparison to a church pew. He said it is made of about 15 pieces of wood, but that It functions as one piece. He added that all the pieces of wood in the pew were not alike. The speaker said the church is not one organization or one denomination, but that each denomination was capable of being glued to others, as in- dividual people are with God. Noting the present world situation, Rev. Van Essen said Egyptian and Lebanese Christian minion find it hard to look with love on Arabian Christian women. Ile said the same situation existed in Viet Nam, •1,0cally we face much the same situation," he said. Rev. Van Essen said the church (Alen looks like many pieces of wood together. "It is the presence of God through the Holy Spirit that makes oneness," he said. The speaker said as a wood worker reshapes the wood, so God reforms people. "Let us yield ourselves more plunge to the low ones, Each day full of misery; we see only ugliness in the world. We wonder why we continue to fight. Our good intentions no longer seem worth striving for, and we believe we've lost the battle. Naturally we experience "to heck with it" moods and "I couldn't care less about anything," moods. We may be on the verge of an "I give up" mood, when an in- spiration strikes. us. We then shift into an "I'll try one more time" mood. Why not? That's what makes life worthwhile. Many moods exist between the two extremities of ecstasy and despair. There are "leave me alone" moods. Everyone requires privacy; everyone needs time to think. Some of our deepest thoughts evolve while we're alone. Our muddled minds unravel during a few minutes or a few hours of quiet, uninterrupted meditation. On the other hand, there are "I don't want to be alone" moods. These are the times we long for fellowship, There are "I don't feel like talking" moods. Our companions carry on one-sided conversations, and our only alibi is that we're good listeners. We can only hope our friends are also good listeners, when we switch to a "don't talk, just listen to me" mood. After suppressing our troubles for awhile, we suddenly explode into a tirade of chatter. We know that discussing our problem relieves the tension. There are giggly moods, when even a boring TV commercial causes a chuckle. There are impulsive moods, which can lead to "I wish I hadn't said that" or "bite your tongue" reactions. Self-conscious moods sometimes prevent us from expressing our opinions. Later we reproach ourselves wondering, "Why didn't I speak up?" There are contented or restless, lazy or ambitious moods; there are quiet, mellow moods; there are noisy moods - door slamming, yelling and swearing aloud or to one's self moods. Because our moods rapidly change, we can be certain of a variety of emotions in our lives. Boredom like all other moods, is only temporary. We derive reassurance from knowing our depression will pass. A hopeful mood replaces the desperate one; a cheerful mood overcomes sadness; a silly or impulsive mood relieves tension; a congenial mood finds a friend. Our lives are filled with moods. and more to be glued into perfect oneness," Rev. Van Essen said in conclusion. During the hour long service, women representing all church- es in Exeter participated in the service. Their participation in- cluded scripture readings in several languages, hymn singing and prayers.
