.knowledge to misquote
I Suppose you could extend the
meaning of "sciolist" to take in
those who, can do a neat many
things butcan't do them very wt�i1
In that case. being d sciolist can
be extremely worthy 1111e.
a particularly for people who have
Y tilne on their hands
Take music as an example l
heard once of a talented choir
director who deliberately pitched
ttw hymns so high that the
congregation couldn't loin in to
spoil the performance of his
incomparable choir. He didn't
appreciate the sciolists, in the
cotlgrega'tion.who might not kn+ow
.the difference between "Gude/save
the Weasel'' .and "Pop goes the
'Queen". but they love to sing' In
fact one of the nice things about
church should he that everyone is
at liberty to sing as loud and as
badly a., they wish. Unfortunately
such healthy° enthusiasm is often
discouraged in church. and
enjoyable singing is' done only at
nois.v parties.
I remember being in a large
church where `the anisic w'a:
lovely, but—oh. so slow:' We. sang:
':Opwai'd. Christian Soldiers",
and when we came to " the line
."Onward then ye people, join our
•happy throng'. I looked around to.
see if anybody was happy, and
decided that the congregation,
didn't care whether anybody
joined their throng. What that
congregation needed was some
sciolists who could make a loud
and lusty noise,unto the''Lord.,
,none
And' the. same is true o,f
(.'on'r ,w
A r,
,Sundays. ago Pheand a voice ,at the
8.30a m service iuSt. George's
Church:.Yes, a real loud voice. It
said 'r amen", and it recited the,
Creed and the Our Father and -
other parts of the service It
wasn't a mellow voice. It was ,}
rough 1)031ling voice, -Mut how I
loved that voice, I listened to it,
and 1 harmonised with it, and 1
competed with it: and when I said
"The•Lord'be with you", I 'was
speaking to that voice, and sure
enough it answered ' And' with thy
spirit", and 1 was happy because -
someone was speaking to me.
Thank God for sciolists who do
things and don't care whether they
do thein badly or not.
Lire offers all kinds of
opportunities to seiolists. We
suffer from an overdose of
specialists. How refreshing -it
to see people,.attempting to paint
or plav a musical instrument or
watt' a book or' build something.
1' matte a little mistake here
they tell you. "I haven't got this
part quite right ' '1 only- do this
tor ntv own, enjoyment, • you
know:''
_Vi'hat ' better, reason to do
something than for your own
entovment: -and don't forget the
sheer enjoyment of accumulating
absolutely useless information;
The remarkable thing is that
somequite important discokveries
have been. -made by people - who
were dabbling in something that
was out of their line. ,
So let us sing a song of
scicalism: a paean of praise to
people who play about w.itti

"All Jov Be Yours,"
Mrs .1 Snider presided at the

The choir loft was ,filled with
ladies from the various churches.
Responsive reading was led by
Mrs. W. Palmer:. Mrs. A.
Enright, and Mrs. Capt: McCune.
Mrs: S. C. Argyle introduced
the speaker, Mrs. L,. Warr whose
theme was "All Jov Be Yours."
During her talk she taught the
audience to sing a delightful song
about Joy, 'She said, "Joy is the
flag that is flown in the heart .when
the Master is' in• residence ."
Joy is the thrilling' by-product
of obedience to God. Joy will
