Beware of separatism
BY THE REV.
ARTHUR F. GARDNER
RETIRED UNITED
. CHURCH MINISTER '
The Province of Qucbec is
much in the news latety. since
the Quebecois Party has
declared its intention to hold
a,,... referendum re the
separation of Quebec from
Canada. Elections are much
more hotly contested in 'La
Belle Province'. Bombs have
an uncanny way of turning up
when things begin to quieten
down.
Recently the manager of a
Trust Company was kid-
napped and at time of writing
was still not liberated. in spite
of the offering of a large sum
of money as ransom. Violence
and lawlessness seem to be
prevalent in Canada's largest
and .most volatile city.
Looming low and ominous
behind every unsettled event
that occurs in Quebec is the
ever present threat of
separation, Ever ready to
leap into the news -and open
the gap of separation between
French and English.
Separation stands poised with
hammer and wedge in hand.
But there is a brand of
separatisrn that spreads far
beyond Quebec, and even
raises its ugly head in
pertceful mid -Western
Ontario. It is a type of
separatism that proves to be
more destructive and
degrading to our nation and
ourr-world than even the acts
of the Quebecois.
This is a separatism that
shows itself in far too many
Christian people both young
and old. I't tears apart
fam ilies. destroys businesses,
breaks down democratic
parliamentary procedures,
confounds justice and ruins
many lives. For years such
destruction has been going on
and it promises to explode out
of control around us, today,
unless we set up a ceaseless
vigil to guard against it.
The separatism about
which I speak, builds a
Berlin -type wall through our
commercial, social, and
individual lives. It sets up a
harrier holding hack the flood
waters of faith from our
every day lives. Whenever we
bow to the adage that faith
and politics don't mix, that
religion has no place in
normal every day con -

versation, that Christian
principles cannot survive in
today's competitive and
business world, we allow this
persistent separatism to
drive its wedge into our lives.
Once it is there, it is dif-
ficull to dislodge and in time
grows harder to even
recognize. Soon everything
we do at work or play
becomes completely
separated from our faith and
devotional life. Gradually the
latter just withers up and
dies. •
A noted Toronto clergyman
recently stated that we must
learn all over again for
ourselves, one of the lessons
learned by our forefathers.
We must learn that Christian
principles of belief and ethics
must . command our total
obedience.
He writes, "Our faith has to
he expressed in' the market
place, at the work bench, in
the class room. There can be
no divorce between what we
say on Sunday and what we
do through- the rest of the..
week. We have heard of
people who prayed on their
knees on Sunday and preyed
on their neighbors on Mon-
day."
From such separutisrp„,of
belief and practice we must
continually ask to be
delivered.
As long as our Sunday faith
and life is being separated
from our week day life and
activities, either consciously
or unconsciously, then our
society and its future is
threatened. But more than
that, our individual lives,
both now and for eternity are
laid hare to a terrible punish-
ment.
Each one of us must firmly
resolve to break down his
dividing wall with Christ's
help and live day by day the
faith which speaks to all of
life. This is the joyous faith
that makes life worth living,
which comes when Christ fills
our whole being.

Conversion
Rt'r. D. Brace Jc,lntsci?1
The United Church of Canada
Many people who are entirely t itt off by a
stereotype interpretation of conversion never-
theless will not be tulfille.d until they have
experienced it. -
To be converted is to have life organized
around a new centre. Conversion is of dif-
ferent kinds. religious, political. moral, etc.
In any cane it means that life conies to be
organized :around a radically new concern..
Conversion means to put a new idea at the
centre of lite and live toward it in all things.
But how does it happen'' Horace Bushnell
Educator at the turn of the century spoke of
"the expulsive power of a new affection".
In a western Canadian community there was
a thirty-four year old wheat farmer who pain-
ted the town red with a drunken spree every
Saturday night t'or fifteen years. Everyone said
he was a hopeless drunk. But he wasn't. Ile was
a drunk but he wasn't hopeless. Because one
day he stet Jean and that made all the dif-
ference. [lis love for Jean expelled itis old de-
votion to the bottle. He was converted to a
radically new style otaite.
The Bible tells the story of a harlot by the
name of Mary Magdalene. Site was devoted to
her body. It was her living and her pleasure.
Then she met Jesus and one day she called hint
"Master". That made all the difference.
. To focus on the impediment. to one's tultill-
tnent may only energize the impediment and
give it greater power in our life. Chis can
happen even if our intention .is to think about
the impediment for the purpose of eliminating
it. The greater (lope lies in exposing ourselves
to the positive influence. In conversion. the old
devotion is expelled by a ,new affection.
