Ethel Miner Clare, Knox United, Belgrave In his book Sunday Morning Dennis Clark recounts this tale: "There is an ancient Hassidic tale about a rabbi who asked to be shown both heaven and hell while he was still alive. He was a particularly fine rabbi, so his wish was granted, and in the twinkling of an eye his tour began. First stop was hell, which, to' his amazement, was a fabulous dining room with a vast table laden with the finest foods and the juiciest morsels of every description. Despite that splendid display, however, every single person at the table was just sitting there with arms folded and eyes downcast in sullen, angry silence, because at every place the only utensil was a pair of chopsticks, five, feet long. No one could get a bit of food to his or her. mouth. The whole lot of them were starving in the midst of this great banquet! After pondering that awhile, the rabbi was glad to be taken next door to heaven, which, to his great sur- prise, was the exact duplicate of hell. The same long table, the same splendid feast, and a five-foot pair of chopsticks at each place. But every last person at that table was talking and laughing and singing as they picked up the food with their chop- sticks and fed the person across the table from them. No one was starv- ing, and everyone was eating to con- tentment." I wonder if this story is really a commentary on how we live our lives. Do we think only of 'self' and fail to see opportunities where we can make a difference? Or, do we stop to do what we can to make the world better for those who are in need? The opportunities _are there, and ° with the grace of God we can "do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God" (Micah 6:8). And in the doing, we, too, will be nourished. Peace, theme of Maitland Presbyterial meeting Let peace begin with me, was the theme for the Maitland Presbyterial held on Jan. 22 in St. Andrew's Church, Wingham.
