Reply Box “M”, Times- Advocate. 6 c Facing the Disagreeable My wife bought me a book last Christmas. Such a gift always makes me a little suspicious: I guess she wants to read it her­ self. Well, I’ye often done the same thing, so it is fifty-fifty. The book was Eleanor Roose­ velt's, “This I Remember," and I thoroughly enjoyed every page of it. It is a very sane and did appraisal of a man by who knew him better' than one else. One thing she said about interested me. She wrote: disliked being disagreeable. There were times when he had to put people in their place; to speak sharply to them, but it always upset him. He would go a long way to avoid a head-on colli­ sion,” That isn’t as much of a compli­ ment as it seems at first sight. I say that all the more frankly because I have never enjoyed saying ’disagreeable things my­ self. Yet the world needs strong forthright people who have con­ victions and are willing to fight for them. I have known people who, un­ like Frapklin Roosevelt, did not mind hurting peoples’ feelings if they thought the occasion called for it. Often they were most like­ able people but if there was a scrap, they liked to be in it. Like the Irish boy who came to where there was a fight and said: "My father wants to know if this is a private fight or can everybody join in.” On the other hand what looks like tolerance may degenerate into mere complacency. If toler­ ance means pussy-footing, an un­ willingness to accept responsibil­ ity and a lack of courage in hold­ ing convictions, then it is not a Christian virtue. After all, there are such things as right and wrong and it is not tolerance but weakness when we refuse to take sides. The desire to please people has its perils. Amiability may be­ come a vice. They who endeavor to be amiable under all circum­ stances often do so by the sac­ rifice of principles. There is al­ ways the danger’ that anxiety to please may be substituted for the obligation to serve. Ex-President Eliot of Harvard University is credited with saying that the most essential quality in a col­ lege president is “the capacity to inflict pain.” He was thinking of that strong quality which en­ ables men to speak and act even when they know that what they say and do will excite opposition and cause pain. This it the mean­ ing of that saying: “God loves some men for the enemies they make." You have no enemies you say. Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray Of duty that the brave endure Must have made foes! If you have none, You’ve hit no traitoi’ on the hip; You’ve dashed no cup from per­ jured lip; You’ve turned no wrong to right; You’ve been a coward in the fight! There is such a thing as right­ eous moral indignation, a quality without which it is difficult to believe anyone can attain spirit­ ual maturity. Such deep indigna­ tion has been a characteristic of i all great and holy men of God. Religion exists for a twofold purose: first, to resist and de- ' throne whatever is wrong; sec- : ond, to further and enthrone j what is right. It is impossible to J believe that such men as Moses and David; Isaiah and Amos; the Apostle Paul, Martin Luther, John Knox, John Wesley; Wash- Wife: “I was a fool when I^ton, Lincoln, and many reli- 1 gxous men of modern times were incapable of strong indignation. Rather, it is of the very essence ■I of true religion that it is as ■ strong in opposition to evil as in ’ its solicitude to nurture the . good. ; I once heai’d the Rev. Charles ! Edward Jefferson of Broadway 3 Tabernacle, New York, preach. He was in great demand as a preacher to University students. He told us that whenever he al­ lowed students to select hymns they chose ones which stressed the challenge of religion, such as, “Fight the Good Fight”; “The Son of God Goes Forth to War”; "■Soldiers of Chirst Arise”. These young fellows sensed the truth that religion must not be complacent and easy-going; it must appeal to, and being out, the strong qualities of valour and dating. Our quotation today is by the late Lord Tweedsmuir: athiest Is a man who has no visibele means of support.” Bantams Set Ball Schedule The schedule for the Bantams opened Tuesday with Exeter are Fol- playing at Hensail.
