Times-Advocate, 1984-04-25, Page 6I Need to understand and sympathize with others Am I my brother's keeper?" asked Cain of God. It's a question many people continue to ask through the ages. Of course, , we are our brother's keeper. This has become the basic responsibili- ty of all human relationships. We obey traffic laws. We pay taxes. We establish social welfare agencies. We do all these things under the com- bined responsibility we have for each other. But a deeper involvement develops when we admit we are not only our brother's keeper but are also our brother's brother or sister. We've all heard the story of the little boy who was seen carrying a baby on his small back. A man stopped him and inquired, "Isn't that baby too heavy for you, son?" "Oh, no, Mister," replied the youngster, "he's not heavy, he's my brother." Perhaps there's a need for us to be more like the boy, to move beyond the minimal ex - pectation of social service and justice, into a loving relation- ship of brotherhood. Perhaps we need to seek to understand and sympathize more with the needs of others. There is another story about another little boy sitting in the park holding in his hand MR. AND MRS. RON DAWE Kimberly Ann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald McBride, Exeter, and Ron Dawe, Exeter were married April 7, 1984 at Exeter United Church with Rev. J. For- syth officiating. Maid of honour was Darlene, and bridesmaids were Jodi and Shannon, all sisters of the bride. Best man was Steve Wells, friend of the groom and ushers were Stewart Brown, friend of the groom and David Dawe, brother of the groom. Following a honeymoon in Las Vegas the couple is living in Exeter. 17c MR. AND MRS. BEV LEARN Mr. and Mrs. Bev Learn were united in marriage Satur- day, April 7, 1984 at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Ex- eter. The maid of honour was Pat Rose and best man was Greg Dayman. The couple is residing in Huron Park. Photo by Larry Dillon CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY - Russell and Ruth Brock, RR 4 Goderich celebrated their golden anniversary with o family dinner at Beniniller Inn.

A kind lady came along and said, "Little boy, would you like me to take this bird with me and nurse it until it is well? I promise that when it is healed I will bring it back to the park and let it go again." The boy thought for a moment and then replied, "If you don't mind, I'll take care of the bird myself." He paus- ed for a moment and then added, "You see, I unders- tand this sparrow.;' The woman was not quite sure what he meant until he stood up and she saw that his leg was in a cast. Because he had been hurt he understood the bird's suffering. Nothing helps as much or improves our understanding of another's problems as sharing common needs and troubles.

On the occa- sion when Jesus fed the multitude he was saying "I have compassion on you....I will not send you away hungry." There is a great need for us to feel this same compassion today, to sense the needs and the hunger of many people, to refuse to put them out of our minds. A synical adult sought to discount the trust of a little girl of a poor family who hardly knew where the next meal would come from. He said to her, "If God loved you, wouldn't He send you food and shoes?" To which she replied, "Well, God told so- meone, but they forgot." We are like that. Instead of SINGER OC W t H 0 cr.
