Holy Week activities in Cal
vary church, Evangelical-United
Brethren, were climaxed on Eas
ter Sunday with largely attended
services.
The Youth Fellowship led in
the sunrise service worship at 7
a.m. assisted by the choir and
T, Harry Hoffman and Maurice
Klumpp as trumpeters. At the
10:30 a.m. service Rev, J. H.
Get?; preached on “Death Is
Swallowed Up In Victory”, and
the choir sang “Open The Gates
Of The Temple”. At this time
there was a reception of mem
bers by profession of faith and
by letter. An altar cross and
candlesticks, gift of the Kraft
family, and a new communion
service, gift of the Ladies’ Aid,
and the Bethany Sisters’ Bible
Class, were dedicated by the
minister.
Easter Sunday evening the
candlelight pageant, “The Light
Of The World”, with a cast of
fifty, was presented with the aid
of the choir. The story of the
■Christ was beautifully portrayed,
with his disciples carrying the
light out into the world (the
congregation). MH

PIG STARTER
The third week of a the
s -T L£;
Religion Without Arguments
I read recently about a man
whose chief characteristic was
his unfailing good nature. He
was as full of good will for
everybody that a neighbour de
clared he , would have a good
word for the devil*,
elected an official
country church and
such good feeling
looked forward to
and winsome smile,
something of a joke, however,
when any , matter was up for
discussion, he voted both for the
motion and the amendment. He
didn’t want to hurt anybody’s
feelings,
Which reminds me of the
story of a colored man who was
sent by his wife to get some
sausages for dinner. He was
gone three hours. When he did
get home his indignant wife
wanted to know where he had
been all the time. “I was argu
ing with Massa Johnson,” he
said. “What was you arguing
about?” .she demanded. “Wall,
he argued that twitch grass was
the worst grass in the world.”
“And what did you say?”
“Oh, I argued it was, too!”
Perhaps the world wouldn’t
make much progress without
discussion and controversy and
it m a y be’ that argumentive
people keep things moving but
I think it can be overdone. Some
people take to an argument like
a duck to water; when .things
go smoothly, they are unhappy,
they prefer a scrap.
There have always .been people
who loved discussion and argu
ment. Gregory of Myssa, a'great
Christian leader of the Fourth
Century, gives a vivid account
of conditions in his day. He
writes: “Knots of people gather
ed at the street corners of Con
stantinople discussing’ incompre-
hensibles. When a tradesman
was asked how much a thing
cost he started a discussion upon
generated and ungenerated ex
istence. .Inquiries of a baker
were answered by the assertion
that the Father was greater than
the Son.”
How, we could forgive these
contentious people if the debates
had been carried on with good
humor, but they were not. Feel-

those days, often
daggers concealed beneath tlieir
cloaks. They were prepared to
fight, literally, for their point
of view. Now, if I have to de
cide between that class of people
and the old fellow who voted
both for the motion and the
amendment, it doesn’t take me
long to make up my .mind. Argu-
mentive people can become very
tiresome and even when they are
right, they exasperate. There is
always a question as to how
much good is accomplished. Few
men have been bettei' equipped
for debate than John Wesley,
but lie became very weary of
the hair-splitting discussions of
his day and longed for simplic
ity and practical living.
After all, Christ’s teaching
was simple and direct. There is
not a single theological phrase
in the Sermon on the Mount and
it is one of ,the tragedies of
human 'history that teaching, as
tender and transparent should
have become a source of abstract

The apostle ■t'eter, in his first
epistle, exhorted Christian wives,
how to influence and win their
pagan husbands. It .was a delic

Then he visited the .island of
Tahiti in the New Hebrides and
the transformation he saw there
completely changed his attitude
and for the remainder of his
life, Christian missions had no
warmer friend. This is what he
wrote: “The lesson of the miss

the march of improvement con
sequent on the introduction of
Christianity* through the South

in the .records of history.”
That, after all, is the best
