M4 .Knox .Church •- 004,4 ?Pk:40(4W nr A young minister recently confessed he has a real struggle :with tension and up -tightness which often results in terrible pressure headaches. Relief tomes only when he lies down in a darkened room after taking medication. "But I' m lear- ning," he says, "that in the midst of tensions and 'busyness' to lean back in the arms of God, and relax; to let Him support me; and allow His spirit to flow in and through me so that I can experience inner .peace, and not tension." Many of us have the same trouble; we wear ourselves out and tie ourselves up in knots in our ever mad hash to be always 'doing' something . We forget that to sit and relax and rest in the gracious presence of God is even more essential in the Christian's life. Author Watchman Nee says many Christians have the idea they must keep moving in order to reach their goal. We make the mistake, he say%, of trying to run so that we will be able to sit with Christ, but that is the reversal of • the true order. He states, "Christianity begins not with a big DO but with a big DONE ... and we are invited at the very outset to sit down and enjoy what God has done for u5; not to set out to try and attain it for ourselves." '0 God cannot help us or work through us while weare intent on doing everything ourselves. Often God is just waiting for us to cease our activity. and be still so He can begin His :work with us. It's like trying to save a drowning man. His fear ' prevents, him from trusting -you; he-w-rll-el-tit-eh-at-you in terror and drag you under with him. D+.her you must knock him unconscious or else leave him to struggle until all his slrengt}Y•leaves him before you can pull him to shore. Often God has to wait for our strength to be so utterly played out that we become still, before' He can move, in arid do what He wants to be done in our lives. There is nothing wrong with being still ... with resting. After • all even God rested on the seventh day. Our bodies need times of peace and quiet and o do our spirits ... times of just letting go and letting God take, over. Toki Miyashina, a Japanese writer has written a translation of the Twenty-third Psalm that goes like this: "The Lord is my`Pace-setter, I shall not rush, He makes me stop for rest at quiet intervals. He provides me with images of stillness, which restore my serenity; He leads me in the ways of efficiency through calmness of mind, And His guidance is peace. Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day, I will not fret, for His presence is here, H:s timelessness, His all im- portance, will keep me in balance. He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of thy activity By annointing my mind with His oils of tranquility. My cup of joyous energy overflows.. Surely . harmony and • ef- fectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours, . For' I shall walk in the pace of my Lord, and dwell. in His, house -forever." - A PARTNER -IN-UNITED 86 FEDERATEDAPPEALS' For Mother's, Day " Remember The Flower Basket ?524.-2152 Plan centennial dinner with distinguished guest The month of June, 1975, marks the centennary of the Presbyterian' Church in Canada. In 1875 the scattered fragments of Presbyterianism. , across the newly founded Dominion were gathered together into one denomination.' These units represented varying facets of Presbyterianism: Church' of Scotland, the Free tradition, .Irish Presbyterianism, Welsh Presbyterianism, English Presbyterianism, French Huegenot stock and Scottish Covenanters. In addition to , these were representations from the Magyar Church (Hungary), the Ukrainian Presbyterian Church and segments of Presbyterianism from German stock. These so.wcalled fragments settled in many of the outlying parts of the great nation born in 1867. , r. Men like Principal Caven of 'Knox Church, Toronto, and Dr. John Cooke, Montreal, were leading lights in the efforts for union. Finally, on June 13, 1875, in Montreal, the Presbyterian Church in Canada as we know it today was erected.
