Goodwin your telephone manager 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."

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.
