.Easter Message.
ST. LUKE 24: 13-25
I SADLY walked life's rugged road,
And pondered all that might have been!
My heats; was heavy with the load
Of grief and sorrow I had seen; `
For on a cross my Friend had died,
And all my hopes had been denied;
I knew not that His sacrifice
Had sealed my pardon, paid sin's price.
Then One drew near to walk with me,
And reasoned with the precious Word;
He said that such things ought to be,
And tarried till my doubts were cleared.
Then I by faith began to. see
The glory of a Calvary;
I saw that He atonement made
When all my sins on Him were laid.
The Spirit burned within my heart
As on we trod and still communed.
�I begged that He would not depart
Until we had together dined.
Then as I saw Him break the bread,
A glory shone about His head; •
For in His face I then could see
It was my Lord from Galilee!
What glorious news I have to tell,
For Christ now lives and walks with me;
O'er mountain heights or through the dell,
I share His blessed company.
O gloryof the. Easter morn
When I no more His death do mourn,
But feel His resurrection power,
Enjoy His presence everyhour.

Break my heart — when

Pray for my enemies

Are Christians ready to
change their lifestyle?
Is the church ready and
willing to become involved in
the politics of food in this
country and around the
world?
These were a couple of
questions asked and
answered March 26 to 29 by
more than 125 members of
the Lutheran Church in
America who gathered in
Elinira, Ontario to discuss
the politics of food in a
Listening -to -People con-
ference.
Although the politics of
food is fraught with con-
troversy, the conference ad-
dressed the questions
because, they .,said, the
Biblical witness affirms the
relationship between God,
people, the land, and
economic justice. All are
part of the Kingdom of God.
"We need to find the
elitists, the people behind the
scenes who are far beyond
the food system and deal
with policies which govern
international finance, trade
and industry," stated the
position paper produced at
the conclusion of the con-
ference.
"We feel that multi-
national corporations have
too much influence on our
lifestyle. They urge us to
consume more and) more
products that are above and'
beyond what we need. They
also affect the way we
farm."
Delegates decided that
Christians need' to examine
the products they buy and
determine if they are
healthy.
Food is abundant in this
country and Canadians are
sometimes tempt,,d to ex-
port from a desire for profit
and political control rather
than as a gift to brothers.
The route is not always clear
when food and politics cross.
"We can't really allow so-
meone to starve ... but the
best alternative is to help
them to help themselves,".
the policy states. "Not all
food concerns he across the
ocean. The church has a role
in shaping . national and
global perspective."
Christian farmers should,
.be leaders in an effort to
speak for the .land, un-
daunted by evidence that
few listen, fewer hear and
the inadequate response.

"Everyone concerned with
the conservation and preser-
vation of the land must come
together to affirm that the
number one priority is that
the land will be used to pro-
vide food with justice for
producers and consumers,"
said the delegates, "and
farmers need greater par-
ticipation in government
policies and decisions."
Delegates suggested
limiting the non-agricultural
use of prime farmland or im-
posing a significant surtax
on any agricultural land con-
verted to non-agricultural
use.
However, ' farmers
themselves have a respon-
sibility in that current, effi-
cient ways of farming may
not be the most responsible
management of the soil. If
those who work the land do
not own it, they will not be
willing or able to live the
lifestyle of the farmer and;
ultimately, the land will suf-
fer. Others felt that it is not
necessary for each in-
dividual farmer to own the
land, but the status of the
land as agricultural must be
preserved..
The current high cost of
land, machinery and other
inputs combined with ex-
cessively high interest rates
reduce and, in many in-
stances eliminate farming
profits altogether.
The church, then, should
be an ally with farmers in
making , their combined
voices heard. The role of the
church is not only ,to make
people aware of food and
land issues but also to be ac-
tive as, an advocate for social
and economic justice.
"The church has a role it
must play in the political
arena," said the delegates.
"It is important that coali -
tions be made with con-
sumer groups and farmers.
They must cease to be adver-

saries and learn to work
together in their common
awareness of the importance
of food, production, and just
use of the land."
Delegates were also con-
cerned about soil erosion and
stressed the need to act
quickly by looking to govern-
ments to provide leadership
such as the establishment of
an erosion control board and
program.
They decided the church
has a responsibility to in-
form members of global
needs because narrow
reliance on governments and
corporations for information
can Mislead and misdirect
concerns.
Speakers at the conference
included, Senator H.A. (Bud)

Development, Ottawa;
