From the
Minister's study
REV. J. DONALD,MacDQNALD
North Street United Church
A mutter of identity
The story of man has been
one of a constant search for his
identity — one of seeking an
answer to the question of what
or who he really is. An easy
answer is not forthcoming. Even
a visitor from outer space would
soon be confused if he were to
look down on man and his
strange activities. Side by side
with generosity and kindness he
would see greed and selfishness;
in the midst of warmth and
friendliness, he would see
bitterness and hatreds.
If the independent observer
from some other planet would
be confused with what he saw,
how much more should we who
daily mingle with our fellow
humans.
In this last year of the
sophisticated sixties — an age of
advanced education and science;
more than a dozen wars are
raging, more than half of the
world's people are starving and
diseased, and racial tensions are
on the,verge of explosion. This is
man's picture of himself rri this
year 1969. And though keenly
aware of his miseries, he
blatantly spends billions more
on bigger and better bombs and
less and - less to relieve his
troubles.
Looking on man today, one
would be driven to believe again
in the doctrine of original sin —
that man is no good, and for him
there is no hope.
Sigmund Freud would agree
for he came to believe that in
every human being hidden deep
in the subconscious was the
"ID" — seat of man's sensual,
lustful and selfish drives which
his -"EGO" and "SUPEREGO"
vainly and 'hopelessly attempt to
control. So that,- turning over
the "log of human nature" anti'
human relations, Freud pictures
all the ugly creatures underneath
scurrying for cover. What dark
pessimism - what dearth of
hope.
But is there really any hope?
Is the answer to what man really
is, the. dark picture it seems? If
so, the New. Testament and the
optimism of Jesus about man is
sheer nonsense. Then why. keep
trying?'
Perhaps we just cannot accept
the cold dark_ facts as . actual
truth about man and we cannot
live unless we believe in hope.
Jesus did for he constantly stays
us from our dark pessimisms and
points us again and again to the
potentiality within reach of each
one of us and reminds us of our
possibilities for goodwill—and
brotherhood.-
What
rotherhood.-What a dark story is the tale

of the son who wanted
everything he could get his
hands on — spent it all with
complete abandon — ended up
feeding pigs and eatiig their
food with them. It is dark and
like the story of man until the
story changes. The son comes to
himself in what the psychologist
would call an "instantaneous
reorientation" and realized that
he wasn't made for this
miserable kind of existence and
determined to do something
about it.
That must be the answer.

Anecdotes and
Letter
Children's Aid -seeks
Christmas donations
At the September meeting of
the board of directors of the
Children's Aid Society of Huron
County, plans were laid for
providing some Christmas help
for families having a difficult
time this year.
Early in October 'our visitor
will call on these families to talk
over whatever is needed. Then
our volunteers will begin at once
to buy and select gifts, wrap
them and pack boxes for each
family. There are already over
sixty families on our list for this
year, and the number can
foreseeably double by
December. It is. imperative to
begin at once,
Our volunteers hope to finish
packing the boxes in November
so that our visitor can begin
delivering them early in
December. Our hope is to finish
by December 15.
It was suggested that people
wishing to share in this
wonderful work would like -to
make it a Thanksgiving project.
In this way, contributions would
come to the Children's Aid
Society office in October and
memories of Lord
Service to a man who
demanded, and generally got,
what he wanted from superiors
but who would personally
answer a child's donation is
recalled by David Farrer in
G -FOR GOD ALMIGHTY: A
Personal Memoir of Lord
Beaverbrook.
In what he describes as a
"personal worm's eye view of a
maddening, brilliant,
unpredictable, generous,
vindictive, ruthless, sentimental,
and ultimately, to me,
extraordinarily , attractive and
magnetic personality," Farrer
writes of the years from March
1940 to September 1940 when
he served as one of
Beaverbrook's two private
secretaries.
Those years. saw
Beaverbrook's mastery • as
Minister of Air Production in
providing the planes so
desperately needed for the
Battle - of Britain; his
tempestuous relationship with
Churchill, his great personal
success in winning Stalin's trust
in the autumn 'of 1941; his feat
in persuading Roosevelt to
almost double his armaments
program; his resignation from
the Government after a mere 12
days as Minister of Production.
Farrer sketches the man
behind these headlines, a man
whose readiness to seize
opportunities presented to him
and to create those that were
not, led to bitter feuds. Coupled
with a sense of showmanship
which could ask Britons to
"Send me your pots and pans,
send me your aluminum" for the
manufacture of Spitfires, was a
keen mind, and an incomparable
drive bordering on ruthlessness.
which couched demands on the
prime minister in threats of
resignation if his wishes were not
met.
What fused these qualities
into success was what Farrer
calls the "personal touch,"
dealing directly with the
managers of small manufacturing
firms who had never before had
such attention from an
important government figure,
and answering each saucepan
with a personal letter, each
separately drafted and signed by
Beaverbrook himself.
Beaverbrook was not
insensitive to . criticism,
particularly when it involved the
spending of public money on his
missions to other countries.
During a 1942 visit to the
United , States he insisted on
finding'^:reaper accommodation
than the lavish suites reserved
for him. This led to desperate
