Using
electricity wisely
isn't just a matter
of avoiding waste.
Being watchful to avoid the
frittering away of kilowatthours is
everyone's concern, in the inter-
est of economy and conservation
of valuable energy resources. •
But for some people, living in
older homes with outdated wiring,
restricted use of appliances is not
always a matter of choice. They
do not have sufficient circuits to
serve normal needs without
resorting to 'octopus' outlets and
extension cords._ The result:
overloading and blowing of fuses.
These condition,: tend to
diminish the performance of
appliances and shortens their life.
Inadequate wiring is not only
inconvenient, it can be a .safety
hazard, If you have any doubts
about the capacity of your home's
wiring have it checked by a
qualified Electrical Cr &actor.
Then, use
electricity '99
wisely . . .
and safely,

"BECAUSE I CARE"
by James Taylor
The United Church of Canada
Audrey just moved into a new apartment.
While she decides what to buy, to furnish it,
she's living out of a sleeping bag on the floor.
She's having trouble choosing what to buy.
It's not because she can't afford things. For the
first time in her working life, she can. It's be-
cause of the implications of what she buys.
Audrey, you see, is a former missionary.
While she was "over there", she began to un-
derstand how things we purchase here in Cana-
da cause economic ripples that affect her friends
in other countries.
If she buys furniture made of exotic wood
from the Amazon jungles, is she encouraging
someone to cut down the world's last great
oxygen producing forest?
If she buys rattan from Taiwan or South
Korea, is she supporting military repression?
Does the cotton in her drapes come from
Niger, where peasants were persuaded to grow
cash crops instead of food — and now they're
starving in a seven year drought?
The obvious question is: "Why bother?"
Audrey simply answers, "Because I care
about them."
A minister, the Rev. C. A. S. Elliott, put it
more theologically: "I see this as an example of
the incarnation."
Cliff Elliott supports Cesar Chavez' United
Farm Workers and the grape boycott. "I know
that whether I buy or don't buy won't change
anything by itself," he admits. "It's a symbolic
act, just as sharing bread and wine in commu-
nion is symbolic."
"Incarnation means 'becoming human'. In-
stead of being an abstract principle to be argued,
the boycott becomes. a human thing — where
it's possible for me symbolically to stand with
them, and to accept consequences which may
include pain or abuse or just having to do with-
out something."
In God's Incarnation, He too "became hu-
man." He became the man we call His Son,
Jesus. It didn't really change anything. They
still crucified Him. But He shared our pain, our
joys, our world.
But what a difference that Incarnation even-
tually made. And it happened because, in
Audrey's phrase, God cared.
Do we?
