There's a story about a man
and a boy and a donkey starting'
out on a journey. 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

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.

upon as a last resort We

"At this season' we often

success. 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.
