Are you being wise?
or foolish?
The Parable of the Wise and
Foolish. Builders. (Matthew 7.
v.24-27) •
Jesus told this parable to
illustrate the 'foolishness of not
laying a, strongµ foundation_ for,.
life; To. neglect to do so is
disastrous!' ..
Theparable teaches that to
obey. Jesus gives, stability and
security even amidst the storms
of life. Rejecting, Jesus brings
disaster. Of the house built on
sand Jesus said, "And great was
the fall of it". Follow, Me, says
Jesus, and you' will weather
life's storms. Deny Me, and you
must expect disaster. This'is not
a threat.of punishment, but the
inevitable result of man's own
' foolish ss.
When nations neglect the
more Twell-`being of 'their
citizens, they are courting
disaster. It is still true that
"Where there is no vision the
people perish". It is true .also of
an individual. All, the progress a
person makes- in life; all that
they may build up; will come
crashing down--wheu'*.the storms
of life come• - if they build on
TWO
The real basis of our life is
not our material possessions, or
our intellectual ability, but our
moral character.. It will be
strong if built on the foundation
of Christ, All other foundations
'or life, all ()'ibex sClyemes ti n'd`•
plans for building a better world
are doomed to failure. We have
only to glance at history to
prove the truth of that. As Ten-
nyson w.rote in his 'In
Memoriam'
Otir little systems have their
day; -
They have their day and cease
to be:
They are but broken lights of
Thee,
And Thou, 0 Lord, art mbre
than they.
Of many and many a scheme
of :..M.an' for the bettermient' of
society could it be said, "And
great,was thefall of it".
In this parable- Jesus could
not have stated more clearly to
the world that it must' choose
"His . way of living: or face the
alternative - complete and total
disaster!
We can be wise; or we can be

United, Church members are
being asked to open their homes
.to the Asian ,,refugees from
.Uganda when the first_ group
arrives in Canada at the end of
this week. "Our twenty-fifth
General Council passed a
resolution to this effect in
Saskatoon last month ,and now
it's up. to all of us to carry out
that resolution,both in spirit
and. in letter," Rev. George M.
Morrison, Secretary of the
Church's General Council, said
recently. -
T7r:"Mor'rison-recalled that the
first action after the Council
passed the resolution was to.
send a telegram • to the Hon.
Mitchell Sharp, Secretary of
State for External'' Affairs,
cornmending the govert-iment for
offering asylum to the Asian
Ugandans, and at the same
time, asking the Minister to
involve the Church in helping
these unfortunate people to find
a new home in Canada.
The Church also asked in its
resolution that the Canadian
Govelnment admit the, unskilled
as well as those Asians who
have been successful in business.

WHEN THE LORD ASKED WHY
There are two occasiont when
the Lord asked ',`Why," which stand
out from a l l the rest.
Once it was t� God He cried it
and once to Saul of Tarsus, Once to
the Holy One and once to the chief
of sinners. Once .He cried it from
e shameful cross and once from
His glory in heaven In each ;ase
the nape was repeated. .,,
In Hiatt. 27:46 we find the first
anguished -"Why," as He 'cried:
"MY GOO 'MY GOD WHY.. HAST
THOU FORSAKEN ME'" - The other is
found 'in Acts 9:4 `where He calls
from .His exile in heaven: SAUL
, SAUL. WHY PERSECUTEST THOU
These two questions represent
the greatest riddles of history and
yet strangely one of them is the
simple Solution to the other' Why
did God forsake His Son_ You will
find the answer when you ask why
-mankind, represented by Saul for-
sook and even persecuted God's
Son. God's action.'1•) giving Christ
up, to die was the antidote to
man`s. Christ's death wts the
remedy forman's sin. It was ' be
cause of the utter unreasonable-
ness of man's sin that God to
save him had to' be more than
'reasonable
Sau! had led his nation and the
world ,n rebellion against Christ
but this is lust v.hy, in 'infinite
love God chose him to be,ome the
,great apostle of grace telling the
World that 'Christ' died for our
sins.'
Hear him tett haw he had been
a blasphemer, and a. persecutor..
and inlurrpus" but how "thetgrace
of our Lord was exceeding abun-
dant- I Tim 1:13 14'. Hear him
say: .
'Christ Jesus came into the
world to sake Sinners. of whom I
am chief. Hewbeit for this 'cause I
obtained mercy that in me first
Jesus Christ might show forth all'
'longsuffering 'for a pattern to them.
winch should hereafter believe on
_Hito life everlasting" (Vers
1 �jm'16 i
Since the '"chief of sinners" is
now, in heaven there is .hope'for us
all if we but trust to the Christ who
cried for us. '

Cassette
New system for blind
A cassette about as thick as a
„sandwich and .4s -long as a
man's hand - that is the latest
system of providing reading tor
the blind. This small cassette
and the compact playback
machine- make up one of the
best engineered ,devices.
The .tape for twelve hours of
reading on every kind of book is
completely .contained in the
cassette.' The blind person does
not have to touch the tape or
threat reels. He just slips the
cassette into a slot, presses'" a
,.switch and listens to his
favourite bookread aloud.
Thecassette is the most recent
development iii a long history of
the talking book. The original
long playing record of 331/3
RPMs was introduced in 1936 to
provide material for Jalind
readers. The record was a great
boon to blind Canadians `Oho,
for the first time, could read by
listening. At its peak the library
was circulating three • tons of
recorded reading a day, so eager
were blind persons to read.

The f instrument weighed 7 lbs.
and was very large and awk-
ward to handle.
The new cassette weighs
"only
14 ounces; so Ii:ght that it •can be
carried in a maxi's „pocket or a
woman's purse. Its fidelity' is ex-
cellent. Although it has been in
use little more than a year, its
easy handling and fine listening
has brought a great demand for
books. ' The library is now
distributing more than 14,000
books a montf, the highest in .its
history.
The production of these hooks
costs thousands of dollars every
year.but the enjoyment and in-
tcrease of knowledge they bring
to blind Canadians make' the
work -worthwhile.
