Straight Shooting
Most hunters pride themselves on common sense and
good sportsmanship. They do not abandon wounded ani-
mals, for example, nor do they expose other people to
danger from their firearms. Yet every autumn, certain
non -thinking individuals violate the code by taking
chances that could just as effectively end in tragedy as
if a random shot were taken into a. family home. This
type of person, perhaps disappointed at returning with an
empty bag, relieves bis frustration by taking pot shots
at vital telephone cable. Eventually rain seeps into the
damage, disrupting communieations and leaving entire
families ---often in remote areas—without the protection of
telephone service, Since this type of "hunter" never
knows that a doctor or police or firemen couldn't be call-
ed in time because the telephone was out of order, his
conscience never bothers him. Presumably if he took a
pot shot through a window and scurried away, Itis con-
science wouldn't bother him either.
Circles Worth
Knowing About
Among important safety practices by telephone em-
ployees on and off the job is the "Circle of Safety," a
habit encouraged in all drivers of telephone vehicles.
Before starting to drive, a telephone man walks com-
pletely around his car or truck to make sure no small
child or inquisitive animal is under or even near it, He
also checks for assorted toys, ,bicycles and other obstruc-
tions, open doors or improperly secured locks.
Another "circle of safety" is the dial on a bedside ex-
tension phone. It puts fire or police protection at your
finger-tips all through the night. And whether your bed-
room is upstairs or down, a bedside extension saves steps
day and night.
Make yours a Princess phone! It's little . . . small
enough for your night stand .. It's lovely in appearance,
and its built -in -night -light means you can dial that call
without switching on a lamp,
Dark Lightner
A four-year-old girl was visiting her grandparents.
When put to bed she sobbed, said she was afraid of the
dark, and wanted to go home.
"But you don't have a light at home, do you?" asked
her grandmother.
"No," she said, "but there it's my own dark."

One
Moment, Please
BY REV. DOUGLAS L. STEVEN
United Church, Belmore
THE REAL THING
The story is told of the boy
who saved his money so that he
could see the circus when it
came to town. When the day
finally came he went to the
circus grounds. But, once there,
he became so involved with the
carny shows, and the rides, the
games of chance and the hot
dog stands, that by the time the
big show began he was tired
and penniless and he missed it
altogether.
In the same way there are
many people who are regular
church goers who have never
really come into contact with
the spirit of why we gather
there every Sunday, Like the
boy, they confuse the trappings
that surround the service of
worship with the real thing --the
spiritual experience itself. They
miss the heart of Christianity as
they frolic around its fringes, so
they never really know it, or
experience its power, its joy,
and its sense of forgiveness.
Our need is to get right into
the big show; right into the
heart of Christianity. And that
is to blow Christ. Most of us
have believed in God, after a
fashion, as long as wc can re-
member. We were horn into a
Christian fancily and a Christ-
ian nation. Christian princi-
ples are a part of our daily Ilv-
ing, and we have found that
these principles work.
After a fashion, we worship
God, attending Church services
more or less regularly. And we
find a degree of comfort in
following this custom that our
forefathers have handed to us.
We find a security in our tradi-
tions.
But please note this import-
ant fact. Simply hec;tuse we
practice Christianity as a way
of life, dues not mean that we
arc Christians. '('o ii,tve the
forst, without the experience,
is not stttlic•ieni. It is not
ettattglt to lite by the te,tehnigs
of Christ, We lutist live by the
power tont Christ gives ns, be-
cause Ile lives within us. L)Itr
need is to he first hand Chtist-
ians, tar Christianity is nut
merely a religion or way of
life. Christianity is Christ,
and Christ is God, reconciling
the world unto himself.
Christianity is not simply a
set of doctrine or principles
which, if applied to life, can
make the world a better place
in which to live, It is, rather,
a real, vivid experience,
wherein you meet a person face
to face. Not a philosophy of
life; a relationship with God.
To those who have not had
this first hand experience, I
wish I could offer a formula
which you could apply. But
we cannot go to God by taking
three or four planned steps.
Christ takes the initiative...
Christ comes to us.
Yet there are things that we
must do. First wc must want
to have this relationship with
Jesus Christ more than anything
else lu the world. We Must see
that our lives must be based in
a relationship with !Um. Oth-
erwise we have no hope, in
this world, of being the per-
sons God intended us to be; 110
hope of relating to others the
way we need to relate to them;
no hope of being the kind of
mothers and fathers wc need to
he if our children are to grow
tip to he real people.
And second we trust be will-
ing to pay the price for tlt.tt
relationship with Christ. And
the price is high. The price is
to release personal control of
our lives and place them in the
hands of God.
This is the gospel that Jesus
preached. Ile said, "Repent,
and believe." (i.ttrk 1:15),
'Turn completely away from
those things lila tyuu;uesereitq
ttaty; those thing. lilac lar
years shaped and guided and
set the pace int your lite. That
Is repentance. And belied.
Believing oceans to place in the
hands of ;uusthet, to gland a\er
., this is the way to real
the way into the big
show, ... O,hctw ise %ye brioche
