THE GODERICH MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION
PEOP ,E WHO DO NOTHING
Rev. Henry de Vries, First Bap-
tist Church
In Luke's Gospel, chapter ten,
verses .25-37, we have 'what is
known as the parable of the
Good. Samaritan. This parable
was Jesus' answer to the ques-
tion, "Who is my neighbour?"
Most articles written about
this parable usually centre
around the Good Samaritan. I
would like to write something
about the priest and the Levite.
Something that I think -needs to
be said, for no matter how we
look at it, they represent a large
number of people, religious and
otherwise.,
Jesus said that these two re-
ligious leaders passing by the
scene of the mishap looked, and
then passed on, doing nothing
whatsoever to -aid the victim.
'hey disappoint us, for surely
pne would expect them to give
aid, but no, they do nothing.
One might ask was the pries"
more concerned about ceremon-
ial correctness than charity? Or
the Levite, was his motto "safety
first?" He seems baht on not
taking a chance on a 'similar
beating. Perhaps they simply
do not want to become involved.
Whatever their reasons are they
seem to us unconcerned, cold,
and "callous.
Some time ago I read an ac-
count of two children who were
found in a house, dirty, half-
starved, and badly beaten. The
police questioned the neighbors
asking if they had known that
these children were being badly
treated. They all said that they
had an idea something like that
was going on, but after all it
ANN
LANDER
was none of their business, and
besides they did not want to be-
come involved. So they did
not do anything about it.
How simple it would have
been to have placed a call to the
Children's Aid Society, or the
police ,,office. Like the priest
and the Levite, they passed by on
the other side.
Sin Of Unconcern•
• The most dreadful sin of our
day is that of unconcern. We
are all :too busy with •our own
affairs. , We are so involved that
we do not see the needs of others
around us or we do not have
time to aid them. That .is what
our governments, are for and
that is why we ,pay taxes1and
that is why we give to charitable
organizations, at least that is
how we reason with ourselves.
Again it may be that we sim-
ply do not care. We Took after
ourselves for if we don't no one
else will, so we,reason, let the
other fellow' look after himself.
This attitude touches every
area of life. We see it in the.
nations which possess great
riches and which, at the same
time, withhold aid from the
poorer nations or attach such
strings to their aid that it is
refused.

OTHE
TOR
Dear Mr. Shrier:
As a consistent' reader of The
Goderich' Signal since 1911 and
The Goderich Signal -Star since
1937, may 1 extend my cordial
felicitations to my friend, Mr.
George L. Ellis, on his retire-
ment, and my warm wishes to
you as the new publisher and
editor.
Added interest attaches to The
Signal for ale since in 1921,
when the late Mr. Athol Mc-
Quarrie was publisher, 1 began
my 42-y„ear newspaper career
on that paper. I continued ,un-
der the late Mr. W. H. Robert-
son as publisher until 1924 when
I joined The London Advertiser
repertorial stall. After l' join-
ed The Ottawa.Citizen on Decem-
ber 1, 1928, `I wrote an -Ottawa
political weekly letter for the
oc.}> •ich pier forj•in extended
period.. '
That was indeed a graceful
and richly merited editorial tri-
bute paid 'to Mr. Ellis in your.
October * 14 issue. It must be
generally agreed that Mr. Ellis,
with credit to himself and the
town, maintained the high tradi-
tions of the paper launched in
1848 during his 20 -year tenure
,as publisher and editor.
Personally, I am indebted to'
Mr. Ellis for his kindness in re;
cent years' fir printing in The
Signal -Star several of my ar-
ticles and letters to the editor.
I have always been a great boost•
er of Goderich where I' lived

greatly esteemed The Signal -Star
as one of Ontario's and Canada's

lished weekly newspapers
Wishing both Mr. and Mrs.]

served retirement and continued
