In order to fulfill the commission of Christ Jesus, is it not necessary to have hearts in which the Lord is alive and well? Can some form of , outer conformity carry us through to the Kingdom without "a strangely warmed heart?" This writer would say, "Absolutely not!" It cannot be done. Apart from the Christ -inhabited -heart there can only be the cold heart, adhering to outer things' - yes, sacraments, tenets, rules, regulations, rites - in which there is no heart. Remember the Pharisee who boastfully entered the temple bragging about his good deeds? He was a man of outer observances and within there was no "strangely warmed heart." Do- you remember ., the Publican who stood in the outer reaches of the temple, pounding upon his chest in guest to the twosome. The Stranger ,expounded to the two would-be disciples, told them in detail what had transpired in the last few days. Despite His authority, His knowledge, they did not know who He was. Then, at the close of day they came to Ammaeus and home. They invited the Stranger in. They broke bread. They knew Him! They were in the company of, the Risen Lord. It was then words were spoken, after the Stranger's sudden departure, that have come down to us in everlasting glory, "Were not Our hearts strangely warm- ed?" , Now, what did they mean? These alarming, glowing, in- spiring words told the tale. They, thee, disciples in preparation, possessed open hearts - the doors flung wide - they were alive to His witness, willing recipients, readyto go all the way. Christ bad come into their hearts and dwelt alive misery, and crying out, "Lord, have mercy upon me, a miserable sinner?" Which one went down to his home justified? The latter, of course, for he cried out from an empty heart that sought filling in the House of God. Who would fill that empty heart, that heart so in need of warmth? Would we not answer from a Christian standpoint, "Christ Jesus alone?" It is late in the day. It is a time for summing up. Let us journey once more down that Emmaeus Road in search of a "strangely' • warmed. heart." If we are eager, sincere, waiting," patient, in- vitive perhaps a Stranger will fall into step beside us and open up treasures unknown. It is not a case of chance, for He promised He would not leave us com- fortless: if He said He would do it, He will. In your heart -of -hearts make your pilgrimage to the Emmaeus Road and meet the Stranger of Galilee. Huron County to be studied During the month of September, Ann Meadows, a community work advisor for Hereford - and Worcester Counties, England, will be taking a close look at com- munity involvement in Huron County. It is one of a series of visits she is making to Australia, the Philippines and Canada to review rural development experiences. The focus of her visit will be the Rural Development Outreach Project in Huron County and the involvement of local people in develop- ment programs will be of particular interest to her. She will be in contact with local residents who are in- volved in community con- cerns as well as agencies and local councils.
