The Goderich Signal-Star, 1969-08-07, Page 13From _the
Minister's study
an, the explorer
4 On Sunday, . July 20,
Armstrong and Alin did what
no other living hu an being has
,ever done before - set his foot
down on ' the surface, of the
moon. This was another' 20th
. Century first for man, a truly
,rgreat historical event.
These two. men thus joined a
host of people of many different
lands and of many different
`races, who. in the realms of
science, astronomy, -nuclear
physics, medicine and in the
realm of the arts, philosophy,
theology, etc. were certain that
there were more things to be
discovered, more to be known,
and who were discontented until
the hidden things were known.
This has been a century of
achievement in the area of
communication. -At the turn of
this century, lands across the
seas were weeks, even months
distant. But by the discovery of
the telephone, the radio, the
television to the T,elstar
communication satellite - no
place on this globe is more than
a split second beyond the voice
of man.
In the area of travel, this has
been an - exciting and
sophisticated century. From the
crudest motor , car, man's
penchant. for research and
exploration has been insatiable;
until today when he travels by
jet airliner and sends some of his
fellow -humans on an eight day
half million mile journey to the
`Moon and back.
Such inventiveness knowsno
bounds. But today's space
"THE BIBLE TODAY"
The Bible Society of Nigeria
,supplied a number . of copies
of Braille Scriptures to stud-
ents at a school for blind
children in Lagos-, run by
Roman Catholic Sisters. The
Sister in charge'' wrote, "Al-
ready the Scriptures are. in
constant daily use." One of
the children also wrote on his
special typewriter designed
for use by blind people says.
• ing, "What a nice, enjoyable
time it was that morning
0 when the Bibles arrived and
were given to each one of us.
'We were particularly in-
trigued by the number of
Bibles which; due to one
reason or another, found their-
way
heirway into ourschool library!
Reading through the pages we
had one 'joy afterAanother as
we met the familiar words.
"We assure you we will make
the best and wisest use of
them. They will help us tre-
mendously during classes, and -
in particular they will help us
to know more about' God and
all His works."
On the outskirts of the cap-
ital city of Accra in Ghana
is' a notorious shanty -town
which is °' home to 50,000
people. Callgl A haiman, it
lacks runnirit writer, sanitar
tion and even streets -'- in
the rainy season it becomes
One big mudhole. Here live
the poor * and outcast of 'soc-
iety, including thieves and.
prostitutes, and the shanty-
town has gained as a result
'a widespread reputation as a
den of iniquity.
This shanty -town is "my
market place" says the Rev.
Henry Janssen. He is a veter-
an Roman Catholic, mission-
ary from the Netherlands,
with a passion for getting the
Word of God into the hands
of the people. In 1968 he . per -

over 39,000 copies of the Scrip-

Society of Ghana in 10 lan-
guages. Half of that total was
bought by the residents of the
shanty -town. Because the has
worked in all parts of Ghana
and can speak four of the
national languages, he is par-
ticularly well suited, for this
part. When he first began, he
says, "some of my colleagues
thought I was crazy." But he
has demonstrated that so far
from being crazy he has found
a way of conveying the truth
of God to a needy people.
"The market is only just be-

Odysseys Vinay look crude and
flimsy 50 years .. hence.
Technology - and instrunienta-
tion, sophisticated as it seems
today will likely appear
primitive to man in the next
century.
Someone has remarked that
man has proven beyond all
doubt that there is absolutely
nothing he cannot achieve or
conquer if he .sets his mind to it.
With his typical courage,
persistence and genius, no
problem is too great for man to
solve. , This statement sounds
conceited, but it is likely true.
This strange Jew of the first
century said something like that.
There, is no mountain of.
ignorance you cannot scale; no
mountain of hate and illwill you
cannot conquer, no mountain of
disease and poverty you cannot
cure. What was needed was the
faith and will to do it.
Recently there arrived. in
London a copy of a remark-
able publishing achievement
under a Communist ' - con-
trolled regime. It is one . of
100,000 Bibles in Rumanian for
use in the Orthodox Church of
that country. They have been
produced by the State Print-
ing Press in Bucharest and
have already been distributed -
to <over 9,000 churches. The
paper for these Bibles waste
• stipplied through the, United
Bible'. Societies, out of the
World Service Budget.

The moon walk was exciting
but after a series' of even more
sophisticated trips to the moon,
we may well be yawning in
disinterest. Children already
accustomed to man flitting off
in his rockets, are • getting
"ho-hummy" about the whole
affair. "Sp what else is new?"
they ask. •
It may well be that with all
our wealth and know-how, we
may, yet mend some of the
busted fences back here on
planet Earth. Rocket -watching is
an interesting diversion for most
of us who cannot fly them - but
one half of mankind is too sick
and hungry to watch with much
interest,.. _

To President Nixon it was
"the greatest event since the
Creation." To Marshall McLuhan
its' most significant aspect was
the reaction of the TV audience.
But apart from all the hoopla,
heroics, hysteria and hog -wash
of last week's moon -shot, one
fact Is indisputable: When North
Americans; -i.e. the USA, set
their mind to accomplish
something, they tarn achieve
almost anything.
•
• The, tragedy of it all is that
we never apply the same
determination and know-how to
simple, earth -bound problems
Why not . let the Russians be the
first to reach Mars, we the first
to ; lick hunger and
unemployment? At home we're
faced with a steadily increasing
gap between the "haves' and the
"have nets," unequal education
opportunities, a racial
revolution, crime in the streets,
growing ' militarism, hideous.
slums and ghettos, pollution of
air, water and soil, and an
economy that seems to need
war, for a stimulus.
Sir,, Bernard Lovell, Britain's
eminent astronomer, pointed
out last week how little it really
cost the USA to put a man on
the moon - just one-third of
their annual tobacco bill and
one-sixth of what they spend on,
booze - if you'll excuse the
nasty word. The 10 -year .space
program .cost thirty billion
dollars, which works out to
$150* for each of the 200
million inhabitants of the U.S.;
or just $15. per year. Contrast
this to the $28 billion the U.S.
spent last ' year "alone in Viet
Nam, where they are making a
not too successful attempt, to
clobber the "bad guys" in a
bloody and disgraceful civil war.
Will we everlearn to organize
for peace as we do for war'?
Pour the • great infusions of
government funds .usually kept
for sa, cows like war or
space ' to razing and rebuilding
slums (one popular scheme
would be to let the military
surplus bombs and napalm on
the -empty ghettos), cure
unemployment with 'massive
work projects building new
housing, schools, parks, public
,. transportation, health facilities,
'conservation projects, *foreign
aid - even a British -type "pub"
or two.
- Back in Goderich- Iasi • week
\ve were typical of the millions
`who stand on a garbage damp
and dream of standing on .the
moon. We have turned our lakes
and rivers into sewers, killed off
our,,, wild -life with pesticides.
R-adiation . • physicists in
Pittsburgh_ last week released
grim statistics showing radiation
fallout probably caused the
death of more than 400,000
babies in the U.S.' since 1950.
No figures are available for
Canada.
Abandoning our •filth and
moving on to virgin territory has
too often been our policy in the
past. To many it still seems the
logical solution. Airlines are
already booking for moon
flights. Atomic, and
rocket -powered arks, ` 'bearing
two of every. earthly species to
other worlds for "a new start,"
are "just around the
