True Christians are hu- man, still not perfect, but they live in contact with the Living - Christ, Because their lives are open to the Word and Spirit of Christ, they grow in faith, love and compassion; in brother- hood, fair-mindedness and un- selfish service and the many qualities that their world needs so desperately. However, the transform: ing power of true Christianity is hindered in various ways. Here are two hindrances: The term “Christianity” is used too broadly! Almost daily, the news media releases accounts of violence and turmoil in which supposedly “Christian people” are involved. ‘The scandalous warn Ireland is a case in point, as persons filled with the spirit of church pride and political pride, resort to physical vio- lence — conduct that is com- pletely opposite to the Spirit of Christ. Without a doubt, this con- flict has turned many people away from Christianity, in derision and disgust! Political parties, especially in Europe, . attach the word Christian to their name in an effort to gain strength. Thus we have the “Christian Democratic Party” ete, and to a certain extent, Christianity is judged by lives of all who claim membership in that political party. My Favorite Kind of Party. There's supposedly an old family recipe for throwing a successful party. Mix together equal parts of brilliant, stimulating guests, good food and drink. Toss in a piano in key and blend into a bare room void of chairs. Mix for about five hours. Yield: A fantastic evening. T'm not good at parties, no © matter how closely they follow the recipe. I hit for a chair, preferably within arm’s length of the chips and dip, and eat myself into a coma. For me a good party de- ‘pends on who I meet. I have my own guidelines of what con- stitutes a perfect evening. It’s a good night for me when I meet another mother whose children are rotten. Deliver me from the woman who sits around all night telling me her son used his paper route Bombeck money to send her to the Greek Islands, her daughter is happily married with three wonderful children and~is*running for’-~ governor, and’ lier “baby” was born with capped teeth, makes his bed every morning and doesn't want to drive until he is 35. It’s a great party for me when I sit next toa woman who has been on a diet: for three weeks and has lost two pounds in her neck and one pound in her bust. The rest of the Measurements remain the same. ] don't want to hear from the woman who comes in Would You Purchase What You Don’t Want? You walk into the super- market and just can’t keep your hands off the daily special. It's not the low price that’s attractive; something in the back of your mind is urging you to buy. - Subliminal suggestion is at work, and given the success of a company formed by Toronto behavioral scientist Louis Rom- berg, the scenario is entirely believable. Romberg recorded a spe- cial Muzak tape with a “Thou shalt not steal" message play- ing just below the threshold of Romberg agrees that sub- liminal messages could be used to sell, but he insists ethics prohibit such crass commercial- ism. wearing an industrial strength bra and tells me how being endowed makes you look fat. My evening is made when he woman who comes in wear- ing-a dress like mine — and she's pregnant.— spills mari- nated herring down the front of it and must go home early. It's a grand night for me when anyone asks for my recipe for anything. It's a great evening when I don’t encounter a woman who wears wet lipstick that stays wet, is trying to gain weight, is into white wine, loves football and wants to know what that “interesting older man is” and it's my husband. Coming home the other night my husband said, “Did you have a good time?” “I had a wonderful time,” I said. “Louise is unfulfilled as a mother. Brenda. doesn’t have her screens out yet. Ann is naming ABC Sports in an alienation suit. Helen told her son they couldn't afford $2,000 at the ‘orthodontist and he would have to develop a pleasant personality, and just ag that lecherous Fred asked _ Mary to dance, her sitter called to tell her Kathy was throwing up.” Now that's a party! ‘Even more distorted be- comes the concept of Chris- tianity when entire nations, such as Canada, the United States and Great Britain, are referred to as being “Christian Nations"! (Especially is this true where exploitation and discrimination have™ resulted from exposure to these ‘so~- called Christian nations!) A second hindrance is frag- mented Christianity! One of the most earnest ° prayers,of Christ that we have record of in the Bible is in St. John 17:11-26. In this prayer Christ prays for the unity of his own disciples end followers of that day, but he also includes «+» all who ever will believe. Notice verses 20-21 “I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they ,may all be one; even as thou “Father art in me, and’T in thee, that they may also be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.” The apostle Paul rebuked divisions in the church at Corinth. 1Cor. 1:12-13 says: “Let me put it this way... each ff ‘of you says something’ differ- ent. One says ‘I follow Paul’ another, ‘I follow Appolos’; another ‘I follow Peter’; and another ‘I follow Christ’. Christ | has bben divided into groups Paul then proceeded to urge the believers to get their eyes back upon Christ, ‘What can we do? Every” follower of Christ needs to be aware of where their real loyalty is anchored. Is it to a strong human leader, an organization, a creed or even a “pet doctrine",... or is it bused squarely in the person of Christ himself? The true essence of Chris- tianity is summed up by the apostle Paul in Galations 2:20 «+. "Christ liveth inme...” Here is an illustration which can help. Think of Christ as the hub of a wheel, and the various Christian groups as spokes of that wheel. The closer we get to the hub (Christ)... the closer we get to each other! Infact, I believe Christ would prefer to be the hub of a disc wheel, don’t you? (No spokes and no divisions!) ANNUAL MEETING. |§ « Robson Recreation’ Society 8:00 p.m. .

Lawyer Jerry Stearns, who represents many pf the plain- tiffs, said California is a proper jurisdiction in which to hear the suit against PWA, Boeing and Roer Industries Ltd. He said he is trying ‘to obtain a writ from the U.S. Appellate Court to stay the order of the San Diego court on grounds the judge exceeded his jurisdiction by making a deci- sion, in effect, on the merits of the suit. ‘ Stearns said the judge stated that he found Boeing and Roer were not involved in responsibility for the crash. He said he feels that is difficult to justify in view of the fact there was no evidence before the judge. i i ve . He said he hopes the judgment willbe appealed. Vander Zalm, then human resources minister, testified the cartoon which depicted him gleefully picking the wings offa fly implied he is a person of cruel and sadistic nature who enjoys inflicting suffering and torture on helpless people who cannot protect themselves, and that he was not a fit and proper person to be minister of human resources. Peterson said in an inter- view that he was shocked by the judgment and could not understand the court’s decision. Bierman said the judgment was a defeat for political car- toonists and said it could lead to mild, innocous cartoons in fu- ture. © Meanwhile, Vander Zalm said he was shocked when the cartoon appeared on BCTV's evening news program last Tuesday night. In an interview from his couver, the minister sald his lawyer has requested tapes of the network's news program but that no decision has been made on possible legal action. Station spokesmen were unavailable for comment. The cartoon also wes shown on the CTV National News. : Bierman said if there is no appeal of the judgment, “We will have lost the fight — not just me and the Victoria Times, but everybody — editors, news- papers, cartoonists — every- body concerned.” “Hopefully this was only the first round and we're going to win." if you're NEW IN TOWN and don’t know which way to turn, call the 365-5542 : You're Looking] Surrey home, east of Van-, Good With TRAIL Optical Co. © Complete Optical rvice © All Prescriptions Ellled © Emergency Repairs 368-6727 or 1490 Cedar Ave., Trall events like the tour- nament, cross-country skiraces, snowmobile racing, and a mixed curling bonspiel.

The only month last year to equal the December per- formance was April, in which an 8.4-per-cent advance was also recorded. : Main factors in last month's cost of living increase were higher food and housing costs. : The federal agency said the average annual inflation “rate for 1978 was 9.0 per cent, up from the 80 per cent recorded in 1977.
