By Pastor Donald W. Reed T came across a little non- ense item the other day. It set y mind to thinking. Sometime in the past I had clipped and filed another item which as I recalled was strikingly similar. Sure enough I found it. Both items follows, the newer one first. Father arose early one + morning to surprise his family ': with hot oatmeal for breakfast. He was dishing out a bowl for hree-year-old Jimmy. “Want joney on ite Dad asked. “and Milk?" 'Yes,” “Butter in it, too?” “Yes.” He gave the bowl to immy, who looked at it for “awhile then pushed it away. Said Dad, “You've got everything you want on it; why don’t you eat it?” “I don't like oatmeal,” Jimmy retorted. Now the earlier item: At breakfast one morning little Sweetie-Pie pushed her cereal away, loudly announcing she would not eat'the stuff and she wouldn't eat any breakfast at all unless the menu were im- proved. “Well, my dear, what would you really like for break- fast?” cooed the progressive mamma. “I want a worm,” said Sweetie-Pie. 3 Children must not be frustrated, or their little spirits will be warped, and maybe they will get left-handed or grow up to be school teachers or some- thing. With this in mind, Papa went to the garden and re- turned with a nice fat worm. More.tears. “I want it cooked.” So into the kitchen went the worm tp be rolled in butter, [LIFE IS ASEASON | Sitting by my. window I-see the leaves falling fluttering to the ground, and hear the wind soft ly sighin, ly. shedding leaves. of gold and, brown. Pondering on nature's course and likened it to one’s own life when like spring, the new birth where life's experience all begun in summer, our childhood joys and pains, soothed by cool breezes, warmed by the sun. Soon successes or failures health or wealth, happiness and sorrows youth retained, or middle age gray * all caught up in the autumn splendor and decay.

Sobs of frustration. “I want Daddy to eat half of it.” With a sigh of resignation, Daddy closes his eyes, gives a violent shudder and gulps. Tears, sobs, howls, and tempest. “Darling, what is the matter? What do you want now?” “Daddy ate the half °1 wanted. My only comment would be that father should have had to eat the other half also, then father and mother and daugh- ter should all have been. spanked. After that, the wicked philosopher who fed the par- ents on that wicked progressive “foolosophy” should be. horse- whipped. . One of the greatest curses of our time, in the church and out of it, is the lack of home * discipline. Children, more to be pitied than blamed for their misconduct, are continually being ruined by their un- spanked parents. Is that why communities like Castlegar are having pro- blems ‘with their youth? Per- haps it’s time we started work. ing on the cause rather than t/ effect. Says Need For Personal Confession Pope Paul warned that: Roman Catholics are showing “a certain increased disregard” for personal confession. “But we need this sacra- ment today and always,” he told a weekly general audience at the Vatican. He. pointed out that al- though “in. certain particular eases the Church authorizes collective absolution, we must remember that this is an ex- ception and does not'dispense from the need for. personal con- fession.” pee cee AYE ENE ROD NE HAE aay ssnne ep ? ‘business directory Advertising Rates and information, Call 365-5210 C.
