Misses Betty McClement, Sharon Pollock, Elizabeth One Moment, Please By Rev. Gordon L. Fish St. Andrew's Church Wingham, Ontario "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" -- Jer. 17:9. The Bible can never be charged as to its being out of date. These warm, humid days are charged only by the scandal that is proceeding out of the courts of London, New York and Washington. Headlines that draw our attentions today deal with names of Christine Keeler Mandy Rice -Davies, call -girls employed by the so-called famous. To the south we read with shame the scandal of race riots that are quelled by high- pressure water hoses and vi- cious dogs that are pictured tearing the clothes of Southern Negroes. The scandal of our head- lines that are renewed each and every hour of the day, the sor- did details that are seen and heard on radio and television as our 'way of life', seems to cause little unrest amongst our people. Seemingly our ears are dulled as are our conscien- ces to the filth that takes place about us. When Jeremiah spoke out against the conditions of his time, surely he was aware of the natural condition of the human heart that was to repeat itself time and time again through human history. Our appetite ranges from the lustful to the lurid. The litera- ture we read must smack of lust and license or we areseem- ingly not entertained. We per- mit the scandal of all forms of indecency to be viewed by young and old alike and call all this as being more progres- sive in thought and culture. The standards of our country have fallen; we have run amok of all that is decent and holy, while we question at the same time as to where we are going in these troublous times. Jeremiah has stated our con- dition; he has as well given us the personal answer to that con- dition. "Beal me, 0 Lord, and 1 shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved," Jeremiah 17: 14.
