Worship is necessary
There is much residual
religion connected with both
Christian and pagan lands.
There are examples of worship.
both true and false. The direc-
tor of religious education in a
certain church ` noticed that a
rt young boy frequently came into
the sanctuary to engage in a
brief period of prayer and
meditation.
"I liketo come here", the boy
explained, ."because it makes
me feel_. bigger than I 'am.
That is what worship can ac-
complish in, our lives. Often the
'outside world belittles us, and
gives us an inferiority complex.
At !other; times it \flatters . us,
and tempts"us to conceit. But in
the presence of Almighty God,
we are made to feel"our great-
ness in. the _eyes of God - the
rightful dignity that God places
upon His children.
r
An example of the contrary is
indicated by a missionary from.
Japan.He tells of one of the
great .temples of that country.
'The -devotion -of the worshipper
conside in running around the
sacred building one hundred
times, dropping a piece'of wood
into a• box at each round. When
the wearisome exertion. is en-
ded the worshipper" goes home
tired and with the thought that
possibly he has done his god
some ser i e.
You may think this act of
worship is unspeakably silly.
Yet is there much difference
between running around a tem-
ple a certain number of times
and the walking to church, sit-
ting quietly thro}tg i .the service,
and walking back, unless we go
with a definite purpose in our
hearts to listen reverently and
thoughtfully to the voice of God
speaking through His Word
and through the words of the
minister? Are we not often just
as foolish and unreasonable as
the Japanese" runner?
, The Bibles tells us: "Let the.
words of my mouth and the
meditation of my -heart be ac-
ceptable ° in thy 'sight, 0
,,Jehova,h, nay rock and my
redeemer." (Psalms 19: 14)

issioury determined toserve again
A missionary. whp• was forced
to leave. Israel, plans, to return
:next October ,to' continue her
work among the Christian
Arabs there.-
Laura Collar, a native of
Wingham, last Wednesday ex-
plained her work and her plans
to an audience .of, about ,65
worne,n at North Street United.
Church. The women represen-
ted' eight` Christian
denominations in the Goderich
area. •
'The women heard Miss
Collar explain that an exten-
sion of her visa to remain in
Israej way refilseri a few mon-
ths Digo. Authorit'ieA gave her
one month tb leavem
She was a Baptist missionary
in ,Nigeria, Africa, for several
years before she went to the
Middle East in.1964.,
She was •working in the part
of Jerusalem controped by •Lor•
dan when the Six -Day War het.
ween Fsraeli5 and Arabs erup-
ted' in 1967..•
Her lite,was in danger during
the battleckfor the city She turd
oto 'bullets whistling over,: her
head.
When the war ended,., Mi .
Collar was allowed to return to.,
A friend from England wrote
recently' telling us about stan-
ding on a station platform
waiting for his' train.. Because
the • train was very late in
corning he "whiled away, the
'time striding up and down the
platform watching signals' arid
reading signs and posters and
SO on, '
Walking right to the very end
of the' platform he noticed a
pile .of parcels and packages
waiting' to be loaded pn to the
train. Addressed t:o various
places in the world, 'rria'ny of
them were labelled 'Fragile'' or
'This Side Up', Etc. •
He said one parcel especially
attracted his attention. It was a
big. wooden box securely roped
and fastened for its destination
in `Africa' The label on this box
stated its contents clearly,
'B.IBLES _ HANDLE W-ITH
PRAYER'. "Think about the
significance of that label ih
comparison with the usual one
:Handle With Care' ....So' often
seen on parcels, he said.
'Handle With Care' is a
placard that many people hang
around their necks,; It implies
anxiety, tension strait), and the
risk of becoming, , so, •self-
invol' ed or, self centred in one's
woes that no light • can
penetrate the gloom. and
shad'ow,s, thrown up. by,
problems,
, 'Handle With Prayer',
however, has'a much better and
different ring to it. It promises
relief and release from the dif-
ficulty,
If we, you and I, have a cargo
of problems, let us do as this
label suggest...handle them
wifh
.prayer; releasing(,th,em. ut-
ter.lr• ,and completely to :'God,
secure' in the knowledge that
there, is no delay in His love
which -Will speed to the very
'.centre.of our difficulty.
On the subject rof, prayer I.
