FROM THE MINISTER'S $.TUDY
ALBERT J: COOK Minister,

Ashfield - St. Helens
United. Churches
Bishop Gerald Kennedy of
California tells of visiting the
Bell Laboratories in that state,
and seeing on the desk of one of
the executives there a most
unusual invention. It was in
the form of a small wooden
casket about the size of a cigar
bolt. On one side of this.box
ti was. an single switch: When you
flipped the switch, there was a
buzzing sound, and . the lits
slowly rose. As it did, a
mechanical hand emerged;
Slowly, but surely, the hand
reached down, turned off the
switch, and went back into the
box. Then the lid came down,
and the buzzing stopped, and
the whole operation was over.
That is all there was to it, a
machine that did nothing but
switch itself off. " , . a
This is -a iiarable of what
goes on in too •many human
lives: people who waken each
morping for no other purpose
than to fall asleep again each
night. .Day after day, they go
through the •same, monotonous,
meaningless motions. They
seem more mechanical than
human. They are not dead, but
they are not really alive either,
bec4iise they have nothing to
livor. They are like the man
whom Robert Frost describes in
one of his poems, who had:
Nothing to look backward -to
with pride, And'nothing"to look
forward to with hope.
women never get past twenty-
nine; and°men stop counting at
thirty-nine. But, of course, life,
or the lack of it has nothing to
do with years:it has to do with
the meaning which one at-
taches to what he is doing, and
how well he is doing it.
We all must go through 'the
motions of earning a living, and
providing ourselves and our
families with the basic social
necessities, But if we make
these things the chief business
of living, we insult the image of
Cod within us, and treat our-
selves as something less than
human. beings.
This is. what Jesus meant,
when he said to his disciples,
"Is not life more than food, and
the, body more than clothing".
We require these things in or-
der td stay alive, but life must
have a larger purpose than the
pampering_ of our bodies and
the hoarding of grown-up toys.

man's days from their begin-
ning to their end and'. out

When he said, "For me to live is
Christ",
You `say, "But what does that
mean?"
It means that (rod created us

satisfaction can come only by
c•ommitiug ourselves to his pur-
pose, It means that life at its
best, life that sends the, blood
racing through our veins so
that we tingle all over with ex-
citement and express our en-
'joythent of 'saying "This is
Living". Life like that comes to
us when we -are 'in harmony
with the same concerns that in-
spired our Lord.
