0 Hope
of Heaven
Has the Church lost its sense of
home, so to speak—of man's
ultimatO destiny''
• Have Christians forfeited their',
rightful anticipation of heaven''
Are we so concerned :r about
'making this world a "better place
to live in" that we forget the
Bible's- admonition ,'Here -we-
have no continuing or lasting city,
but we seek the city which is to
come" (Hebrews 13:14)''
Do we think that the Son of God
Game into this world primarily to
reconcile man to man, 'rather than
to redeem man from his sins and
make him fit for heaven.''
The activities of many suggest
that our world is permanent and
that man's tenancy is permanent.
But that is not so. We live in a
world dominated by sin and dying
of it, and the Christian's witness
is not primarily about what is
seen and temporary but about
what is seen and eternal.
• "Some people are so heavenly
Minded that they' are no earthly
use," We've heard. Perhaps so.
But' there are certainly many
•others who are anxious to• be
where the action is that they
overlook the place where the
greatest !'ac'tion" of history took
place. The Cross of Christ. ..
Wh'y shouldn't the,• .Christian-
think and look forward to heaven?
The earth and our bodies are
temporary; heaven is home.
Christ, makes it plain that His
primary object in coming into this
world was .to save and to give
:,�etern;tl lite".. It is one of the
strange vagaries of our day that
talk about salvation. heaven, aiuf
eternal life is, generally, speaking
• passe, Gould it.be that Satan has
blinded the eyes of the world to the
trancr-ence ofthispresent life arid
to the fact of a•ti4e after death to be
lived somewhere. eternally''
Jesus said His Father is in
heaven. He 'said that no man can
come to the'Father but by faith in
Him. He* -repeatedly• spoke of
eternal life and they necessity of
being prepared for it. He inade it
plain that sin separates us from
suffering and sorrow, but theirs
is a double ministry—to the body
•and to the .soul.
All honor is'.due to those who
are personally engaged rn human
- relief. It is the duty of every
• Christian to recognize such work
as both legitimate and essential in
the total witness, of the ,Ctrut-cnir: --gyp . gonia i _ii f fine the—wayit. is

This attractive young lady is Marg Dowson, a therapist at the'
Ontario Crippled Children's Centre. She's also a friend of
Stephen Layton, Canada's 1972 "Timmy". When Timmy saw that
Marg could use a little help in trying out some signs and locations,
for this year's annual "Walk-a-Thon" on Saturday, April 8, he
.gallantly lenta helping hand. Last year, local walks in various
communities .across Ontario raised more than $90,000 for
crippled children. This year, being the 50th Anniversary of the
Ontario Society for Crippled Children. 'Timmy and his .friends
are hoping to improve on that,figure. As for Marg, we think her
recognizes as a means to an end
-and not as an erid in itself. The
ultimate goal of the Christian lies
beyond the horizon of human
experience..

Special plan
for teachers
Teachers. experienced in
. schools operated by Retarded
Children's Authorities who lack
the basic Ontario teaching
certificate will be able to obtain
the certificate through a six-week
conversion course to be -held this
summer, . Education Minister
Robert Welch announced last
week.
The Course,Will be offered at
Hamilton Teachers' Coflege:.
When school boards became,.
• resf onsible for classes and
schools , for trainable retarded
three yearago, many, of the
teachers had•less than grade 13
background or. had, ,advanced
academic training but did not
possess a basic teaching
certificate that' was a. valid in
Ontario: However, the'
Department of ,Education ruled
'that they were qualified to teach
trainable retarded children.
The regulations also allowed
graduates o,f _- Ryerson
Polytechnical Institute, the
Institute of Child Stride and
colleges of applied arts and
technology who had taken
appropriate courses in child
study, and , development and
Department summer. courses to
teach trainable retarded children
without holding a basic teaching
certificate."
Mr. .Welch had already
indicated that teachers who had
taken Department _summer or
winter courses would be granted a
certificate fors' that particular
•course.
He said the new course is the
final stage in a series of changes
designed to allow such teachers to
become fully qualified,.
The'' sinister said' the
Department has constantly
endeavoured to provide them with
the opportunity to become fully
qualified teachers, not only
through summer courses dealing
with their, own field. of the
trainable retarded but 'also
through a clear admission
program to, all summer and
w•intE'r professional development
courses. •
Mr. Welch said that such
teachers have 'made a valuable
contribution over the years and
that he was sure• they would
welcome the opportunity to
achieve basic °'tea'ch.er
certification. •
