NOVEMBER 28, 1974—PAGE 9A It's amazing how God can take a small, insignificant act of kindness and turn it into something big and beautiful. Our society is constantly being propagandized into 'Think Big'. We urge our young people, "Do big things. Go faster. Go farther. Earn more money. Accumulate more. Dream the impossible dream." Certainly our problems are big. Problems of poverty, crime, prejudice, divorce, rebellion ... all so great we are apt to throw up our hands in frustration and say, "That's too big for me to do anything about; so I'll just leave 'it to someone else." The trouble is, we've got so hung up on only doing everything in a big way that we tend to over1ii6k the small things we can do, and hence do nothing at all. As individuals, perhaps it's time we started to 'think. make the road from Jerusalem to Jericho more safe from thieves. But they did nothing about the problem right before their noses...the battered and perhaps dying man lying 'beside the:>roadside.' • Here, again, Jesus ern- phagized the helping of one in- dividual. He showed how one person, the Samaritan, treated one other person in need.'This Samaritan did what he could. He bound up the wounds of one man, took him to the inn and paid the ,bill. Yes, he did what he could. Someone has said Christians are, waiting for- big crosses to die on. But we don't need to wait for big crosses. Jesus told us to take up our crosses daily. We need to think small, to do the things our hands find to do in the places where we are. If We Christians were willing to do this, God would take these responsibility is in this troubled world. And we need not do it alone for there is a Higher Power to help us, and' we 'can always look to Jesus for our pattern. Jesus faced most of the problems we face today...human nature hasn't changed very much in 2,000 years. He knew 'first hand about prejudice, poverty; op- pression, crime. How did he deal with evil? Usually on a one-to-one basis:.,the little man up' in the tree and the confuled woman by the s‘rtle of a' well:", In the story of the good Samaritan it is likely thatthe good priest and Levite were burdened by the .problerrils of the day...the Roman oppression and how to get rid of it, com- munity relationships,. or how to in such a way that their impact would be felt all around this troubled old world. Several years ago, a young woman; Lillian Trasher, arrived in Egypt to begin a missionary career'. She. didn't look around fqr something, big to do, but was ready to do anything. One day she visited a dying mother and found a dying, sick baby as well. She did what she could, she took the baby home with her and began the start of a work that touched all of Egypt. A prominent -Muslim visited her Osaiout Orphanage some years later and left a donation of several hundred dollars. When asked why he, a Muslim, would make such a con- tribution • to a Christian in- stitution, he replied, "We in Egypt have seen what this woman has done for' the. fatherless and the widows. n d , " he added almost in a whisper, "when this -great woman dies,. even though he is a Christian and even though she is a woman, I believe the will go direetly to Paradise."' Lillian Trasher did not waste her time dreaming of something big to do. She began by doing what she could in a small way and God took her lit- tle gift and caused it to flourish and increase: We think of Jesus' act of feeding 5,000 hungry souls from a boy's small offering of five loaves and two fishes as a miracle. If everyone in our western world gave the equivalent to the young lad's ,gift there would be no more hunger in ,,,the world. Would ,that be ,any less a mire*? • TOWN TALK Miss Emilie Crew of Goderich, a student at the Perth -Huron -School of Nursing, was presented with the Margaret Rraser Memorial Award at the recent convention of the Ontario- Hospital Auxiliaries _Association in Toronto.
