MESSAGES PROM
THE WORD
By -Rev. Glen -Wright
I - have often wondered if
games, like music and art tell us
something about the age In
which we live. A game that I
grew up with ;-- one that would.
leave most of the new activist
generation unmoved — was
called Monopoly. It was a game,
that so long as you could roll
dice, read and count, took little
skill. The idea was to move your
"man" as the fickle dice would
dictate around a large board
rnarked off in property, lots and
,railroads.. These you . had- the
option to buy. When all lots of•a
certain colour were purchased
you could build.
With the privilege of buying
• and- building cam& that most
exciting prospect of leveying
taxes on anyone and everyone
who parked on your property.
The idea wasyto end up with all.
the.,praperty and'..all the money
and la.pgh at your bankrupt
friends.,,,all the way to the bank.
Getting' to the top , at the
expense of otherswas almost as
• thrilling as real lit.
Some time ago I heard of a
p,e w g a me created by
Buckmasier Fuller;the Architect
vho has built among other
things/the, U.S. Pavilion at Expo.
This game is called "World"
(played on a spherical "board")
and- in excitement should beat
Monopoly by at least one throw
of the dice. The prob(em is (in
the game) you are, faced with a
world in which most . ofthe
wealth is in one place. Moreover,
to complicate matters, there are
also areas -of.. racial• w i-fe, of
appression and of inju ' 'ce. As I
understand it, the players work
together against great odds
and if They can bring peace and
justice - they win.
Its only a game we say — but
games are ideas. When Isaiah
spoke of leveling the rough
places and filling up the valleys;
-when Jesus spoke of loving
enemies; when Paul spoke of
1
sharing with the needy, they
were speaking against
monopolies and were envisioning
a world of peace and justice. If
games do reflect ourasociety,just•
maybe, there is a glimmer .of
hope.

PEACE IS PROGRESS
"It is not good enough to.
think of peace. as merely the
absence of war. .Peace is
progress. Peace is growth and
development. Peace•. is welfare
and dignity for all people."

"THE BIBLE TODAY"
Writing • in the magazine of
the 'Swiss Bible .Society; the
wife of a Pastor said, "I read
F my. Bible -every day because •
..awthoy;t it my scale of values
_,..gog.,. -Tli ?d dr•. of
man seems to grow, and God
does. not seem to be at work
at all. When I read the -Bible,
I discover that God is the
* stronger and that He is indeed
at .work in the world. I read
the Bible every clay because
without it, I continually forget
that God knows me, loves me,
and Wants mcg to obey Him."
The best-selling Today's Eng-
lish .Version at the New .Testa-
ment --- "Good News for Mod-
ern Man" which topped
paper -back sales in the United
States in 1967, is continuing '
to be widely distributed both
as a complete New Testa-
ment and also in the form of
4 Gospels designed for evangel-
istic outreach.
Its circulation should be fur-
ther 'boosted by the recent
granting of the Imprimatur by
H. E. Richard Cardinal Cush-
ing, Archbishop of Boston. In
, a letter to the General. Secret-
ary of the American -Bible
Society Cardinal Cushing says
:'I am happy to Inow that it
is being received so well and
being distributed so widely."

'The group leader, Mary
Henderson, stated that the
purpose of this chapter of the
study book was to shim how the
new forms of mission have been
developed in various
communities and to discover the
ways that our group could get
involved in tsir filar types of
mission. She dealt specifically
with San Ho- Village in Taiwan
which is a "Self Help Project,"
and the mission in the' Sanya
district. in Tokyo, Japan.
The • new " apartment
developments • are of great
concern to church workers, and
it is hoped some ways of
reaching apartment dwellers in
high-rise areas may be found.
The problems that develop in
such communities are the'
concern of the church, and can
only be- dealt with when the
church is willing to identify
completely with the situations in
which these groups live.
