THE DIVINE NATURE

our God is a God who gives. Divine nature as revealed in the Bible to give to the utternioat of H15 children's capacity to receive. it is true that He -expects obedi- cnce and calls to service. but He aiwayl supplies before He de- mands, and the service He ex- pects is the use of what He has provided. God is love, and the Jay of the Father is found in bestowing what His child needs and in seeing him grow thereby.

Last week we noticed the con- trast between what Abraham found in God and what the peoples around him believed about their gods.

They believed that their gods were selfish and exacting ,and irrsthful when anything that they expected was denied. Hence iney believed that calamity show- ed that the god was angry and ziiat only the sacrifice of their best oould appease him. So in rational crises. they offered their sons in sacrifice. sometimes the king's son, the best they could gire.- But when Abraham was willing to offer his son on the altar. the living God refused the iacrifice, and instead gave Abra- ham the richest blessing he could receive.

s s

The contrast was between false gods who expected the most that :ould be given. and a God of love who provided the most that could 5e received.

All through the Bible pro- ahetic souls are seen fighting against :i-uelty in religion, and contend- ng that God loves His people with in everlasting love. and is con- .inualiy offering us the very best .hat we are capable of receiving it His hands. Then when a sacri- fice was necessary for our salva- :;on. God made the sacrifice. The Jest that God could give was given for our salvation.

As Paul puts it: "God shows His love for us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Richly cndowcd are no, he- rause Christ not only died for our sins. but rose from the dead to be our life. Our sin is for- given and we are lifted into union and communion with God. In this higher life much is re- quired of those to whom much is given.

.

Dr, Mark Guy Pearse once wrote:-"Life has a double pur- pose reception and distribu- tion. If we receive without dis- trlbiltion. there is congestion. disease at once. If there is dis- tribution without reception there is waste. the beginning of death. This is the law of all healthy life. iFreely ye have received. freely give.' And not only of life, but of

all beauty and gladness every- where. "The sunshine received and

not given to the blades of grass. in the trees, and to the thousand forms of vegetable matter, makes .1 blinding and scorching descn. Tlic rain from. above. received and not distributed, makes the stagnant and fetid pond. It is all like the manna of old that, stored and kept, bred worms and stank. Share the rift. or it shall perish, or. worse iii.-iti perish. poison you.

"God's best gifts are man's worst curses if he keeps them to himself. feeding his conceit, fattening his creed. burdenlng him with care. lliiarlsaism is but religion kept to uzicself, religion that is never dis- tributed in a life of love."

Particularly is this true in the life of the church. I have been asked repeatedly for the follow- ing account of the experience of the Baptist Churches of the" United -States. About the year 1800, just after the Revolution.' the Baptists in that country num- bei-ed about 105,000. They split! into two sections about equal in size. over the issue of foreign mis- alone.

one group took this position: --We have a great new land just opening up; we must con-' energies and

centrate all our resources on the evangelizatlon of our, people. The other

It is a wise old proverb:- "There is that scattereth and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty."

the churches remember this ex-

Strange But True

By P. H. MacArthur

To day we laugh at such super- stions and backward practices. We of the present century with all our modern conveniences feel our- selves to be above such nonsense. Yet most of us hold views that were in vogue back in the horse and cart days.

For example. Just about every- body male and female, believes that jealousy is a sure sign of love, that shifty-eyed persons are not to be trusted. that "marriages are made in heaven.”

The fact is that human beings can be made to believe just about anything the propaganda machine turns out, and while he may turn away from the crystal ball, tea leaves and the stars, he falls A prey to pseudo-psychology which opens up easy paths to his imagin- iary happiness.

Boredom is one of the chief curses of our civilizatzon. The rea- son we do so many foolish things is that we don't know what to do with ourselves. Few persons are ,fa1lurec when they are doing what they like.

like braille typewriters and tape recorders help. so does their own initiative. But the greatest old they and other blind folk now receive is the public's acceptance of the fact that a blind person can still be a useful worker.

It is interesting to note the more rapid development of the ape when compared with a human of the same ngc. At one year of age, the ape has approximately the strength of an 8-year-old child. At 10 months the ape youngster has all its teeth, discovered ob- Jccts quicker and can tell the dir- ection of sound more accurately than a child of the same age.

But at the end of iy, years the human baby begins to have the edge on the ape. and by the time it reaches 2I,:, years the baby leaves the ape far behind.

Address and Presentation

On New Year's day, the parish- ioners of Hope River Parish re- membered their pastor. Reverend E. J. Dalton. Mr. Clifford Murphy read an address while Mr. Leo Dolron presented a purse. Father Dalilon. gratefully and sincerely thanked his parishioners.

The address is "as follows: Reverend and Dear Father:

Blessed art thou because thou comest to us in the name of the Lord.

We endeavor on this day Father to demonstrate to you our ap- preciation for having offered your- self to God that he might send you to us in His. Name to show you that we recognize that you have and are nobly accepting the burdens and sacrifices which such an offering imposes on human na- ture: and to express to you our sincere gratitude for the many consolations which you through your priesthood bring to us as well as for the many mundane acts" of kindness you so willingly perform for us even as individual parishioners.

We thank God for the faith that makes us to know Him in His Majesty, His Goodness and His Mercy and to realize and re- peat with you the opening words of the Preface of the Mass. It is truly meet and just. right and necessary for salvation that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to that God; and by reason of that same faith to under- stand, that the Holy Mass which only a priest and efficacious means by which we can fulfil that obli- gation to Him.

Also when we ponder and ap- preciate the significance of our Lords words Without Me, you can do nothing and remember that it is you who places that same Lord on our tongue at Holy Communion so that He may be with us; that you bring His mercy and forgive- ness to us in the Sacrament of Pen- ance as well as His graces and consolation to our dying and their families; not forgetting the many other spiritual benefits which you through your priesthood bestow tip- on us; we would be extremely ungrateful if we did not-try to show our appreciation in some way as we realize that by God's grace you do these things on our behalf at a very great personal sacrifice.

We recognize in you the brash- ness and practicality for which our Lord scolded at. Peter but for which He must also have admired Him. You also possess much of the affability and kindness for which St. John was called the beloved disciple.

To us Father you are surely our priest. We thank God for giv- ing yourself to God.

We wish also on this New Year's Day to say that we hope and pray that the smile and blessings of that same God will be on you to-day and through eternity.

we ask you to please accept this gift as a tangible expression of our appreciation and gratitude for all you have done for us whether in the spiritual functions of your priesthood or in the temp- oral activities of every day life.

Won't Abolish Tolls On Bridges

OTTAWA. (OP)-Transport Min- ister Chevrier indicated Wednes- 'day more is little immediate sibllity that tolls on Montreal's Vic- toria and Jacques Cartier bridges will be abolished.

Conditions for the levy were dif- ference in the two cases and it probably would take an act of Parliament to change the situation.

Mr. Chevrier said. however. he would like to see the tolls ended. ”He spoke during a Commons de- bate on a motion by Hector Depuis (Ir-Montreal st. Mary) calling for talks between the federal and Que- bec guvcriniicnts to end iolLs on the two St. Lawrence river bridges. The debate took up the whole of thc half-day sitting devoted to private mcmbers' business.

The minister said there are im- portant questions that must be set- lied first The Canadian National Railways owned the Victoria bridge- and would have to be compensated for ion of revenue from toils. The

bridge carries both railway and highway traffic. As for the Jacques Cat-tit-r

bridge, preliminary talks already were under way between the trans-
