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." -

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.
