6 CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, August 20, 1959 ‘THE GRACE OF GOD IS SUFFICIENT’ Rev. B. A. The following article, T Had an Early Vocation, appeared in the July issue of The High-Way, the Anglican quarterly published in Nelson. In it Archdeacon B, A, Res- ker, who !s now retiring from the Anglican pulpit in Castlegar, tells how he became a priest and why. By REV. B, A, RESKER Archdeacon of Kootenay In the September issue of} ? ‘The High-Way our latest Deacon, The Reverend Godfrey Whit wrote a touching and brave at ticle entitled, “I Had a Late Vo- cation.” He mentioned that there are “many Priests who have had a yoeation from childhood and have feen able to follow it with un- swerving purpose.” I suppose that I am one of these. I always fhad the desire to be ordained. In fact, in the Vicarage home at Purley, Surrey, England, during the visit of some Bish- op, I was alleged to have an- nounced, as a small boy, “I am going to be a Bishop.” As I look back on 47 years of Parish work I can witness to the fact that this vocation has led to a lifetime of great happiness and some adventure, It certainly ‘thas not made me rich in worldly goods, but there is much wealth of many and varied friendships. The influence of a Pricst’s life is not a tangible thing, it tannot be measured, but he has the chance to sow seeds of char- acter and high ideals (the best seeds are often his acts and not his words) in the hearts of those with whom me comes in contact, and in rural Parishes these are often not only of his own Chur- ch. How often, as he preaches Sunday by Sunday, does he feel that the sced of the Word of God has fallen on barren soil; then maybe years Iater, he meets one of his old flock who Jets him know that the seed has bom fruit in some way in his Ufe, I well remember going back to my first Parish in Battersea Resker Always Had a Vocation en years as junior Curate, from 1912. (There were 10,000 people packed in narrow streets in an ar- ea 800 yards by about 300 yards.) I had Ieft 25 years before, ‘soon after the First World War; the hail was crowded with the former boys of the Church Scout ‘Troop and Bible Class I had been responsible for. I can hear now, after 45 years, that gang singing, to the dismay of their young and very callow Curate, “Drown Him, Drown Him Lord of all.” After all those years how those ex-slum boys talked about the old days. How the heart of that ex-Curate “burned within him” as he realized that the seed so poorly sown in those war days in the hearts of those poor ‘boys had, through the mercy of God, borne some fruit, Most of those fellows had children of thelr own, and per- haps they too might benefit. Those 14 years of work in the Southwark Diocese of S, E. Pembroke College Mission near the famous Old Kent Road, were a wonderful training for pioncer work In B.C. My Scout training made me <8. London), where I served sev- want to do ploneer work, and so London in Battersea, and in the| w, when Bishop. Adams, who had just been elected Bishop of Cari- boo in 1925, invited me to form anew Parish centred on Williams Lake and taking in the vast Chil- cotin country, I went out there, under the S.P.G., In 1926. Dr, Harling Priest, who of- ten was a welcome ‘visitor, used to call it the biggest Parish In Canada; it. was 300 miles cast to west and 100 miles from north to south along the Cariboo Road. Services Were held at 32 places and ranches. There were no Churches in the Parish, which up to about that time only had o travelling Priest about once a year. The people responded well and very soon had built three Churches, two halls and a Vicarage, and that was during the depression when beef was selling on the hoof at two cents a pound! TI hated to leave the Cariboo after 12 happy years of much wandering among the cowboys, miners and settlers, to settle down during the war years at Kimberley. But that too was pion- eer work, for the Parish had had no resident Priest for years, and was at a very low ebb in every way. In 1946 I felt, as the song of those days expressed it, “too fen- ced in” in the city and volunteer- ed to take over a new Mission taking in all the scattered places and mines around Trail and Nel- son along the U.S. border. Services were held in 13 points, and after eight years of Arrow Boat Club Molds Buffet Lunch A buffet supper for 81 mem- bers of the Arrow Boat Club and their families was held Saturday night at the summer home in Robson of the club's commodore, Armson of Trail. Persons attending the supper enjoyed swimming in the Arm- son’s pool and water skiing. En- tertainment during the evening was provided by Wally Walper and Dr, C. S. Fowler. {REACTANT ATA Color Selector The NEW MONA-MATIC ow’ Mona- MATIC Gives You UNLIMITED Color Selection for Interior and , TOP QUALITY 4 PAINTS and ENAMELS .ccurate color in seconds, matching in any ype of finish — GLOSS, SATIN, LATEX, \LKYD FLAT or EXTERIOR PAINT... , INLY MONAMEL offers you this fabulous, ‘ully automatic service.

I owed a great deal to him when he was Bishop of Cariboo. He even taught me to drive a car on those hair-raising Cariboo tralls!! The pioneer Missionary sows the seed of the Word of God in Individual hearts and not in the mass; that was the difference between the Old Kent Road, with 280 people to the acre, and the Chilcotin, with about one to 10 square miles. The Clergyman was always welcomed, and people did attend the Church’ service. I hope that this little auto- biography may help some young Priest or some boy with a vocation to the Priesthood to realize that there is much hap- piness and satisfaction and a little adventure in the work of the Church in rural areas, It is a satisfying thing to build and sow seed for the future har. vest of the Great Kingdom. The Master came to’ earth and lived the simplest kind of life the Rural Priest must expect. I have discovered that it is not the soft job that brings hap- piness, but the tough one. But the Grace of God IS suf- ficient. ~ Between 1946 and. 1957 pro- ductivity per man-hour in Canada increased by 39 per cent says the August issue of the Commer- celal Letter published by the Can- adian Bank of Commerce. Even when the reduction of working hours is taken into consideration, the rise in pro- ductivity per worker over this period was $2 per cent. An Increase in productivity, the Letter says, is the physical ‘basis for an increase In the stan- dard of living.
