At the beginning, the boy got on the donkey's back while the man walked beside, but the people along the way hooted and hollered, "Look at that mean, strong boy riding on .the donkey while the weak, old man walks`." So the boy jumped off, the donkey and the man mounted the animal, This time the crowd jeered, "Can you imagine that healthy man riding while he lets the poor little boy walk." Not wishing to cause ,any more disturbance the •I. ,an and the boy' decided they would ride the donkey. Immediately the people set up another roar, "How cruel they are to both ride on the back of Y that poor, overburdened beast." So again, wishing to gain approval from the crowd, the pair changed positions and both got • off and walked. Now, the crowd really ridiculed them, "Can you imagine anything so silly," they taunted, "both walking. while the animal carries nothingon its.back. Then the man and boy thought they really had the solution, one picked up the front ,feet of the donkey while •the other took the back, feet and they began to carry it along the road. The jeering throng howled with laughter, "Surely this is the stupidest pair we have ever seen." • Unfortunately,, there are quite a,; few people around like -•-:•tlnose to thexOrawFl-rWlsTo..naatter what you do, you can't please GIVE] • NOW them. They'll find fault whatever happens. Much has been written about ° criticism, how it usually is motivated by a sense of in-, feriority, by egotism that would try to lift itself by putting down the other - person, by finding fault with others to cover faults in oneself. One needs to feel great pity. and love for the critical person because love is the catalytic agent that makes you un- derstand why the ci iticism is there. But it's not easy. How difficult it must be to live day after day with someone who is constantly criticizing. This winter I met a lady by the name of Hilda yvhe told me of a difficult situation that had her almost to the breaking point. Her own sister had turned against • her,, and everything Hilda did was wrong. If she inquiredabout her sister's ' health, she was nosy; if ,she didn't, she -was thoughtless. Should she initiate a conversation, she was trying to show off her knowledge, if .she remained quiet, she was being sulky. And so it t ,ant, whatever tactic Hilda used to please her sister was met with negativism and criticism. After talking to Hilda, it appeared that most the trouble carne from the sister's jealousy. Hilda had ac)riieved academically, the -sister' had not. Hilda held an excellent position, the sister felt her's was much inferior. No doubt she .was flooded with doubts as to her own worth and she was in - . determed•'fo b'rindg HiiTda down to her level. Not only that, she was telling lies to other BLOOD mcn-rbers of the -family trying to turn them against .Hilda as well. Well, what was Hilda to do? It seeined she, had tried about everything ... love, patience, understanding, but still- she came under this tirade which was obviously upsetting her 'very much. , It seems to me, that this is one -of those times when having doneall we can we must stand as Paul says in Ephesians 6:13, He goes on to tell us how to standagainst evil, malicious strategies .... with • truth, Easter ismore than eggs,. bunnies say Mormon ;pair Easter is a time of rejoicing! It is the beginning of Spring which ushers in the melodies of larks, the rushing of crystal streamlets, and the: living vibrance of renewed life and of renewed opportunities. Yet in a world filled with varied rituals, people seem .o remember the bunny and the egg more4than the Resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Two missionaries.•• with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Elder and Sister Goff, are emphasizing the true fneaning of this season,- by sharing a special Easter message with Goderich • and surreptinding communities, residents) Elder and Sister Goff com- mented that, "Easter' serves to remind the world of the great sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for all mankind:" ' "Through His oWn resurrection, He gave to all men the promise of life after righteousness, peau;- faith, salvation, and the greatest weapon o'f'all, prayer.

It is a good time for men to re -dedicate themselves to their eternal nature .made possible through the . life and resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ,", they said. Latter-day Saints (Mormons) believe that Christ was a perfect man, the Literal Son of God, and that He was crucified and resurrected nearly 2000 years' ago, all of this so that mankind' today might be assured of eternal .life in His presence. , "He has shown us the way to eternal happiness and joy," said Elder and Sister Goff, "and only through obedience to the principles He taught . can men f ind'true happiness." "Members of 'The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 'feel that the teachings of Christ were meant to develop the total person," said N. Trevor Ormandy, President of the ' Goderich area for the Church.
