The real peace is found within

When a mother gives birth to a
child, she must release that child to
be an independent person. From
the moment of birth, the child
begins to free himself from his
dependence on his mother. This is
a painful experience for the
mother. The birth -pangs are only
the beginning of the pain of
losing the child who is so much a
part of us.
The same sort of process must
also go on within each person.
Most of us begin adult life with
some kind of role or image which is
a kind of mother to us. And we see
others in a kind of role which
becomes familiar and comfortable
to us. We don't want either role to
change. But it must change if we

The April meeting of Presby-
terian W.M.S. was held at the
home of Mrs. Frances Clark on
April 8. The president Mrs.
Martha Daer presided and wel-

programme was followed. Hymns
were sung with Carol Daer as
pianist. The next meeting will be

are to be free and if we are to let
others go free. But this process is
as painful as childbirth.
Society is cruel in the way it
thrusts images on us. Ministers of
the Church are expected to be
morally better than others, to have
few, if any, doubts about God. Men
are supposed to be strong, not to
cry. Women are to be gentle, ready
to support men but to be happy in a
secondary role. The result is that
few people are real. We go through
life playing games, putting on
fronts.
Jesus came to set us free from
that kind of tyranny. The reason
people responded so strongly to
him was that he saw through their
roles and treated them for the
persons they were. For some, this
was an occasion for rejoicing for
others, for anger. Some wanted to

be free of the roles thrust upon
them, others wanted to hide
behind them.
Jesus saw that what made a
person real was his relationship
with God, trusting God. Trusting
God is the way to see the world with
new eyes. Trusting God is the key
to the real peace within. Trusting
God, our souls rejoice, our hearts
are glad, our bodies are secure,
and we are free to follow His Son.
