OF MANY THINGS

By AMBROSE HILLS:

DON‘T BE SCARED
In 1959, Canadians should stop being
scored. Fear petrifies. Mostly, men fear ~

‘ farming, and the entry ,of businessmen into

change; yet change often brings enormous _

benefits.

Consider our unfounded fear of.new in-
ventions. Men expect ‘each new invention to
rob “them of jobs. Instead, automation in-
creased the number of jobs and made them
easier,

Look at our textile industry. “When man-
made fibres were invented, timid folk thought .
they'd be put. out of work. Instead, wiser
heads in the Cariadian textile industry adopt-
ed the new processes themselves, and today
50 establishments give direct employment .to
15,000 Canadians, and pay $50 million a year

compete with imports ‘from countries where
wages are pitifully low; but ‘even that problem

lesson to-be learned when- businessmen see
high profits to be made. Businessmen are cer-

spite anybody; they ave going into it to make
money,: just as farmers have established quite
a few, businesses for the same purpose, and
are perfectly free to establish more of them.

TIMELESS TOPICS

Next Sunday, May 10, is Christian Fom- °
“ily Day. On this day our ‘churches will em-
phasize the: significance of the Christian home
to Society. When is a home Christian? Faith
in Christ is the fundamental mark of a Ghris-
tian family. A home | is Christion when the
sin ledge Jesus Christ
as Saviour from sin and seek to live as per-
sons who have been redeemed ‘by Him. Christ-
ans are people who,have a fi ing faith ip
Christ. Therefore a Christian home is one that
is established by real Christians.

But Christian homes do not just happen.
They are the fruit of much prayer, planning
and effort, {t takes good thinking and.con-
stant endeavour to make a good Christian
home. A home ought to be a miniature hea-
ven and should provide for the spiritual grow-

The birds are returning from.
their winter migration to the
south, and. I have just returned
from a month’s sojourn in the
same region. With the birds it is
the migratory instinct that inypels
them to flock together and take
their flight before the winter
actually arrives. With me.it was
that instinct of self-preservation
from a perpetual flu that threat-
ened to develop into pneumonia
that urged me ‘to take flight to
a warmer clime. So from the
depths of winter I flew to the
height of summer in a few hours,
It was my first flight. Like
David I had often longed ‘for
“wings like a dove’ that I might
fly away from the perpetual
problems of this world, but I
was quite content with terra fir-
ma means of ‘transportation. I
argued that if the Creator had in-
tended me to fly He would have
provided’ me with wings. But the
doctor ‘insisted that I must choose
between the wings of an angel
and those of an airplane, and I
cowardly chose the latter.
Waiting at the airport was
not unlike preparing to board an
Atlantic liner, and as one stap-
ped in to. the aisle of the plane

In its belly, could lift itself from

the skies? My unbelief was lost
in wonder as the monstrous thing
Sped along the runway and glid-

In a moment the wild imag-
Inings of Alice in Wonderland
and the magic carpets of The
Arabian Nights were transform-

actuality. Mortal man himself
was surely a wonder-worker in
that he could create a mechanical
bird that could out-fly the eagle
and soar singing at “heaven's
