THE BLIJ E TH•UMN
BY .. ctEOQ HpSS.
Last week we were in the
throes of nostalgia for the North
'West Frontier of . Pakistan—It is
only right and fair 'that, this
week, we should survey the
vastly bigger Tui more complex
,canvas of India. This has, been
facilitated by a long letter from
an old friend, of 50 years
standing, who has remained
there, helping to make the
transfer to an ,all Indian Army.
Here are some of his more
general remarks:
It is easy to be pessimistic
about India at the moment. The
meaner streets of Calcutta,
drought in Rajasthan, 'the
prevalence of corruption,
tantrums in Parliament and
other obvibus failures seem to
indicate that nothing less than a
bloody revolution .can cure her
ills. But a closer look at what is
happening is more reassuring.
Vi ages, even in the
Contemporary Themes
Picked For Sermons.
During Renewal '69 '.
"Change in the World and
Change in •the Church", "The
Knowledge Explosion and Its
r' Influence", "Can the Church
Today be Relevant", ' "The
God of --Promises-- and the
Future", „ "Modern Christian
,Families", are some of the
contemporary then"es that will
be subject matter for sermons
A during renewal '69's Preaching
Phase, beginning February 23
in. the Sarnia and Lambton
county churches, it was
an not] need- by the Renewal
Centre in Londono.
Twenty . renewal ' preac ,.ers
are coming from th rotes out
Canada and he l S. to carry
on week-lu.ug.. ' I;te.newal
Programs in 90. Roman Catholic
Churches in Western Ontario.
'r'wenty Protestant Churches are '
participating also.
Renewal Week Will l e held
March 16-21 in Goderich.
"We must" speak to modern
man," Father J. Claude
Primeau, Director '9f Renewal
'69. said. "Unless our renewal
speakers are relevant . and
contemporary,' our people will
.' turn them, ,off. The Gospel
message must be applied to
the present situation otherwise
it, will get no -hearing.,
Renewal of the mind - and
.heart -is- basic. ,That iS why
the Church has such an'
K important role to play in
helping people adjust to
change in the world-, in_.
government, in education', in
science, in everything of life:
A believer, should be, the first
one t� understand what is
happening, what change is all
9, about, because he is aware
that . the Church is a
community of people on- . the
go, moving and adapting'
according- tiny- age: --The
Church is ever new."
The ',Renewal preaching
4 Phase is the third and final
part of the diocesanwide
project in Western Ontario.
The effort is a year -and -a -half

unenterprising United Provinces
are Obviously increasing in
prosperity. 'Tractors are in the
black, market; bricks are at .a
premium; a transistor is a `must'
for every village bride and the
banks are moving into the
country to mop up the surplus
money. .
Small scale industries are
springing- ,up near most towns,
Many of them flourishing and
housewives now confess they
can get along ,quite well with
- goods .manufactured in India.
Cities and towns are expanding
rapidly, Bornbay will •have a
c�'population of nirte million and
Delhi five million, early in the
next decade. The Prime Minlister
and her colleagues are busy
laying foundation stones and'
declaring, in a flood of oratory,
that factories', bridges; hospitals,
schools, laboratories etc, are
duly open.
THE STATE
•practised by the officers of the
Army does not mean- that the
tigers are having a quiet time. An
officer alldtt�ed .a block near
Ramnagar found it ruined by the
visit of a commercial shikar firm
a•.month before: 11„ilephants.
3Q0 beaters and, itupees 15.()0()

reported that a ‘V ild Life

the audience stood awkwardly

Barnett, once the headmaster,

save the King', whether they felt
like it or not.)
The Drive to Delhi
The " drive to Delhi - brings
back many . memories. The
avenues of trees, the dpst from
the berms,,. the filds of
sugarcane and wheat, the survey
tower at Ghazipura, the
brick -kiln chimney at Meerut;
pirgritns on the way to Ha>;dwar
and marriage parties. These are
still familiar sights. But
Pu rquazi, Muzzafarnagar',
Katauli, Meerut. and Modinagar
have grown enormously. The
tarred road is three lanes most of
the way and traffic is far denser
and more varied than of old.
Buses " crammed to capacity;
lorries- -full of merchandise,
bullock carts mostly rubber
Above all. a social revolution
is taking place. The break-up of
the Hindu 'undivided family,
(whereby the head of the family
has to support all his sisters and
his cousins and his aunts ad inf.).
woman's participation in almost
every profession and the way of
life; the fact that it is necessary
to provide separated family'
accommodations for soldiers'
wives who are no longer cpntent
to go back to their in-laws, and
similar developments, give some
idea of the changes taking place.
For politicians and people alike,
the struggle is between the
traditionalists • and the
progressives, with the„ latter
making a distinct impression ,on
the scene. '
