whether we are Corinthians,
Thessalonians or Canadians.
He said what he said to a
world. "Christ died for the sins
of the world." He wanted to get
across the involvement and
concern of God. He wanted to
show in words that God is the
Father of all mankind, and
that God wouldt go to any
length to make known His
desire. The picture painted in
words is one of love.
This is the crux: our
message is one of/in love. The
words describe a happening on
earth initiated by and seen
through by our _t ether -God.
The symbols ars •'' startling.
"There is a Cross, and on this
Cross the Perfect Man died?
The, object is to reveal that we
are involved in this dying. It is
to show that He died" in My
place. It is the Plan of God.
He gave Christ that we might
know Him as Saviour. Our
sins, those robbers of a high
destiny, are encased in His Son.
He will, and He does, take our
sins into Himself that we might
experience a cleansing from
sins. The words tell us that
God cares and will mediate our
sins in Christ Jesus. What was
formerly a barrier has become
an open door in Christ.
- 'Then, we move from the
Cross to the Garden. We are to
be witnesses to the most
strategic fact of all History.
There is and will be a resurrec-
tion. Life is ongoing. This
existence is no dead-end street.
Life is not snuffed out by death.
God reveals the after=life in
that Garden when Christ's
body is no longer sepulchred.
The glad words ring across the
centuries,'"He is not here, but
is risen.'' Paul speaks of him
as the firstfruits, and then we
who are His at its coming "in
our own order." Do these
words convey a meaningful
message? Do they actually in-
form us of a• reality? Job once
proclaimed, "it is appointed
unto all men once to die," but
the glory of the New Testament
is that "He is risen!" This
belief is gained by faith not
through intellectual strivings. ,
This belief is the result of
revelation. God has revealed
to us that resurrection lies
ahead.
Finally, how can words make
us aware that He is always
near? His own pronouncement
on the' matter is, "aid, lo, I am
with you always, even unto the
end of the world." It may' well
be that this says it best. We
take Him at His own word.
Since He is risen from the dead
He is not confined like others.
He lives forevermore. This is
solid proof in words that He
can.be' with us throughout life.
Take the words and believe
them. They are His and they
are meant for you. Man can, in
his limitations, only echo
what the Lord has given.
Food for thOught
Wild but not untamable
BY GWYN *HILSMITH
Have just come iri from
picking a bouquet of Queen
Anr#.e's Lace from the weedy,
vacant lot next doorr4It's
beautiful stuff, really, and so
aptly named for surely no
queen has ever been adorned
with lace matching its intricate
pattern and daintiness.
One can do many things with
this flower besides just
arranging it by itself or with
other blooms. If you fancy tin-
ted 'Lace' place the stems in
water colored with food
coloring (use lots of coloring for
best results). Or, you can strip
off all the leaves, tie the
blossoms in clumps and hang
thein to dry in a cool, arid
place. Then, next fall arrange it
with dried grass or grain for a
splendid floral arrangement
that will last all winter.
Unfortunately, I -haven't
always been such a fancier of
Queen Anne's Lace. Long ago,
when I was a tiny girl, I
remember coming upon a
clump of these flowers and
rushing with delight to pick
them. But the- adult with me
quickly and sharply ad-
monished me, "Don't pick that
... it's- a- -weed, wild carrot."
With childlike trust I
believed that adult and
avoided the plant for many
years looking upon it with
disfavours'
Much later I was surprised to

hear someone refer to it by the
elegant name of 'Queen Anne's
Lace' and About the same time
a photographer friend showed
me a blown up slide of the
flower. It was breath -takingly
beautiful with each tiny floret
fashioned perfectly and placed
into a complex design of sheer
loveliness.
Of course, I've been enjoying
bouquets of it ever since. But
supposing no one had ever told
me its other name or pointed
out its beauty to me? Probably
I'd have gone through life
thinking of it only as a noxious
weed called Wild Carrot.
The other day I looked into
the face of a boy. Wild and bad,
they say, he is. Been in jail,
can't keep a job, riff-raff, misfit..
Bad and wild.
I didn't want -to ,meet him.
Didn't want to look into his
face for I was afraid of the
ugliness and evil I would see
there. But J ,had to look and
when I did I was shocked ...
because he was so beautiful.
Sensitive, chiseled features set
under thick, blond, wavy hair.
His smile was wistful and
hesitant and for one brief
moment, before the sullen mask
went on, I caught a glimpse of
his soul in his hurting, brown,
haunted_ eyes. Yes, he was
beautiful.
But they keep telling me he's
Rad and Wild. Why? Because
that's what they've named
him? Because he grew in the
wrong place ... unkempt and
unrespectible like the weedy lot
ne' ►-door? Or is it perhaps that
no one €'ver told him he was
good and beautiful and worthy
of praise? And maybe because
no one ever ' told him these
things he grew up thinking he
way; a Wild Carrot instead of a
Queen Anne's Lace.
How quick we are to con-
demn and write people off as,
bad and wild or no good. How
differently was - Jesus's ap-
proach. "God sent -the Son not
to condemn ... but to save", He
paid.
