Back. to the Bible
I listened recently to ,a
3peaker who related his ex-
perience as he sat behind the
pulpit of the church ih which he
. was to serve as guest'soloA„ A
pulpit , may hide many things
from theeyes of those who. sit in
front, but visible to those who
sit behind it.
This pulpit was no exceplion.
On the shelf, and visible only
from the rear, was a globe of
the world, The reason it was
there was the fact that in some
way it had been broken and had
never been repaired.
Ther v is more than empty
symbolism in that Incident. The
news media, newspaper, radio,
TV etc, has placed major
emphasis on news events such
as Korea, Vietnam, Northern
Ireland, Israel -Arab, Greece -
Turkey, and now Argentine,
Bangladesh, Laos, Portugal -
the list of trouble spots in the
world is endless.
There is violence on street
and „ on campus, Boston,
Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles;
the effects of Watergate ,in the
„ U.S.A. and the Hamilton
Harbour debacle will remain
.• • wi-th us, for-- any- years- to
come. ,
Law enforcement becomes
increasingly more difficult;
license has displaced the,
liberty that' has been the
heritage of our Christian
democratic system; marriage
vows are taken so .lightly that
• the. slightest problem issues in
a broken' home; - yea in many
cases relations commended
under the marriage bond are
how publiely accepted apart
from the seal of the marriage
covenant. The all -too -obvious
evidences of the brokenness of
our world are to be found in
every area of our life.
AND WHY?
The answer is to be found in
the reality of the symbolism of
that broken globe - our world is
broken , by a diabo'llcal
disturber of the peace, SIN,
manifesting' itself in so many
ways.
"And why is no the health of
my people recovered" asked an
• old Prophet of God. Why do we
continue to cry "Peace, Peace,
when there is no peace?" Can it
be that in too many cases the
,
reality of this broken world is
hidden behind the pulpit?
AND WHEREIN LIES THE
CURE?
Only ' in the pure, saving,
unadulterated Gospel of Jesus
Christ.
AND TO WHOM HAS BEEN
COMMITTED THE AP-
PLICATION OF,THAT CURE?
To none other than the church
of Jesus Christ, To her and to
her alone has.been committed
the 'responsibility of --keeping
before her, the reality of
world -brokenness and the sure

Abraham . -Lincoln is
frequently quoted as having
said that the true ideal would be
realized through"Government
of the people, .,. by ... and for
the people."
Hear again the closing -
sentences of the Gettysburg
address: "We here highly
resolve the these dead shall
not have died in vain,• -that this
nation under ,God shall have a
new birth of freedom, and that
this government of the pe6ple

Government of the people, by
the people and for the people
adds up to futility, and issues in
tyranny: We need pot look far

In the introduction to • his

tures„Iohn Wycliffe says:
-"Che Bible is for the govern -
Mont of the people, by , the

It was from these that Lin-

government. "R ighteousness
exalteth a nat,j,,on, but sin k a

Courage is a tree
. We've watched the poplar out had fainted • unless I had
at the cottage grow'from a tiny believed to see the goodness of
straggling infant into a the Lord in the „land of the
beautiful leafy tree. Up on the (Psalm 27) and "I can
cliff where we're located we'redo all things through Christ
bUffetted by .many storms which strengtheneth
through every season of the The storms of life hammer all
year, and when the tree was of us, The battle continues from
just a small shoot it was often childhood to the eventide of life
bent over to the ground by and sometimes we are -bent to
winds and rain and ,snow and
ice that lashed it unmercifully.
Its growth was slow and we
often wondered if it would
reach maturity. But inch' by
inch it sent down its roots, and
as its foothold strengthene it
gradually began to *heighten'
and branch out.
One year it was ,as if it sud-
denly game of it stood
stronger, ' straighter and
•sitirted to grow 'at a rate that
amazed us. And 'so it has
continued until Row. it towers
above our, , small lakeside
retreat.
But winds and gales continue
to batter it. Last weekend ,I
watched it bending before a
violent wind and rain storm
that ripped 'through its bran-
ches, but even as it was being
tossed and torn it seemed to
keep a quiet firm dignity like a
majestic queen rising above the
turrnoil and angry noise of a
maddened mob. Even its leaves
looked courageous?, their backs
turned up against the 'storm,
bracing themselves and
hanging on. ' '
When the tempestwasover
the tree stood stately and
unruffled, even more beautiful
.as the rain :from the storm
glistened and shimmered on its
leaves in the sunlight. '
Author Robert Raines writes,
"Courage is a tree in a storm,
bending low, 'standing there,
" rooted in something strongef-
.than 'the storm.'
The tree reminds me of a
lady,, whOse life has been bat-
tered by many storms. A small
son died in a car accident, an
older son was killed in World
War II. Her husband .was
struck down with a crippling
disease.' ThroUgh 'which she-
ntlFsed him for many years
before his death. In later,years,
her daughter was confined to a
'mental hospital. '
Any of these tragedies would
have broken and embittered
• many people but not this lady.
ShE surmounted her trotibles to
become a victoriously, un-
defeatable woman. In fact, she
just keeps -getting more.
beautiful, Like the poplar after
the rainstorm gliStening in the
sun, her face has taken on a
glow and a shine that draws
others to her. Her • un-
derstanding and compassion is
like a well where discouraged
and broken -Hearted people
come' to drink to he refreshed
and strengthened.
This is what Robert Raines is
talking about . . . a courage
rooted in something other than
the storm. And what is it rooted
in? Belief it?God, trust and
faith. "I just kept on believing
and never lost faith," says my
lady friend, "and I've tried not
to feel sorry for mygelf and
torment myself by asking,
. "Why me?"
Two pieces of scripture that
have brought her and others
through storms are These: "I
