Pulpit & Pew By REV. BARRY WERNER Full Gospel Fellowship “Understand this, my be- loved brethern: Let every man be quick to hear (a ready listener), slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry. “If anyone thinks himself to be religious — piously ob- servant of the external duties of his faith — and does not bridle his tongue, but deludes his own heart, this person's religious service is worthless (futile, barren). “For we all often stumble and fall and offend in my things. And if anyone does not affend in speech — never says the wrong things — he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his own body and to Workshop offered at college A workshop of Long and Short Term Planning for arts groups and other non-profit societies is offered by the West Kootenay Regional Arts Council on Nov. 7 at Selkirk College in Castlegar.

God is saving in scriptures that the rest of true Christianity is whether or not we are able to control our tongue. We may think we are super-spiritual, but if we cannot control our tongue we have deceived our own heart and all our religious works (prayers, church attendance, and paying of tithes, etc.) is worthless and in vain. Is is no wonder God tells us to be good listeners, to be slow to speak, and slow to take offense. It is this kind of person who has a fully developed character. Jesus is our perfect ex- ample. He was sinless, though tempted in all areas of life like we are. We never read in the Bible where he blurted out words without thinking and later had to take back what he had spoken. The question is, how can we control our tongue? The Bible says, no man can tame the tongue. It is unruly, evil, and full of death-bringing poison. Death and life are in power of the tongue. We go to church and praise the Lord and in the next breath curse people who were made in God's likeness. The same tongue that is used to bring life, healing, peace and joy, can also be a des- tructive instrument which speaks words which wound, discourage and tear down. It should not be this way. Jesus said in the Gospels, that we will have to give an account before God in the day of judgment. What ior? For every idle word we have spoken. God desires to bring our tongues under the control of his Holy Spirit so they can be used to bless others. Sumac Ventures starts production Sumac Ventures Inc. has started initial production of gold, silver, and platinum percipitate from its heap leach operation at the Old Union Mine 70 kilometres north of Grand Forks. The initial heap is composed of 15,000 tons of combined material of tailings and dump material from the old work- ings. Sumac has completed equipment assembly, con- structed pads and ponds, and initiated the treatment pro- cess. The first 10 days of pre- duction returned about 5,000 ounces of combined gold/sil- ver product with an esti- mated ratio of one part gold and 30 parts silver content with some potential of plat- inum recovery. It is estimated this is about 25 per cent of the recoverable metals from the initial heap. Over the next year Sumac says it will process the addi- tional 85,000 tons of gold/sil ver bearing material. Pro- duction will continue this year until freeze-up. The Sumac operation is believed to be the first suc- cessful heap leach operation in British Columbia. WANTED TO BUY... Cott 365-8359 eves.

BARTLE LIFE IN AFRICA South Africa plays dominant role in ‘front-line states: By JIM SHEPPARD LUSAKA — The female voice from room service was polite but clearly embarrassed. The hotel had run out of local bottled beer to serve with the nyama and nshima (beef stew with maize dump- lings) billed as uniquely Zambian. Would “tinned beer” be OK instead, she asked, deliberately vague. It would, replied the guest, puzzled only until the can of Carling Black Label arrived with the screaming white letters on the bright red background. “Brewed right here in South Africa!” it shouted. Except it wasn't “right here in South Africa.” of course. It was right here in the capital of Zambia, whose government is one of the most vocal advocates of a total ‘Landlocked Zambia got two-thirds of its vital imports from South Africa or through South African ports’ break in economic relations with the white minority regime in Pretoria. It was a bit of culture shock for a first-time western visitor more familiar with the rhetoric than the reality of the struggle aimed at forcing South Africa to begin dis- mantling its apartheid policies of facial discrimination. STAGES RAIDS But it illustrates sharply a point too often glossed over in the debate on how the outside world can help: The black so-called “front-line states” neighboring South Africa are crucially dependent economically on their arch-enemy and subject to frequent attack to keep them that way. ‘A 1986 report to the Canadian government, which detailed the impact of economic sanctions against South Africa and of that country's retaliation on the front-line states, said landlocked Zambia got two-thirds of its vital imports either from South Africa or through South African ports in 1985 — the last full year for which statistics are available. South African individuals and companies hold a dominant position in Zambia's copper mining, engineer- ing, agriculture and — obviously — brewing industries, the report adds. The can of Black Label was brewed in South Africa under licence from Canada’s Carling O'Keefe. As well, of are to have been killed or wounded over the past few years as a result of direct South African military attacks and bombings ostensibly aimed at the exiled African National Congress, the main black opposition group in South Africa whose headquarters are in Li 3 Most Zambians are bitter about the attacks and what they perceive as the West's lack of interest in ending apartheid and the constant violence. “We have sacrificed so much,” the youthful manager of a small Zambian restaurant outside the capital explained patiently to a couple of Canadian journallists. “We have lost a lot of people.” STARES SADLY He stared sadly at the countryside, brown and devoid of crops while it awaited the return of spring and the seasonal rains so critical to much of the continent. “Qur economy has gone down to help our brothers secure their freedom.” So what will Zambians do, he and two friends were ked. “We will have to tighten our belts” to cope with further economic problems, the manager replied. One of his friends, who said he felt betrayed by apparent western indifference to his country's plight, was more direct. “Get an AK-47 (Soviet automatic rifle),” he said bluntly. “Then maykbe (South African President P. w.) Botha will listen.” The continued economic dependence, coupled with direct and indirect South African threats to the region's vital and vulnerable transportation network, is a point that hasn't been lost on the administration of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. The Canadian government asked its Common- wealth partners this month in Vancouver to adopt a package of economic, transport and “non-lethal” military aid for the front-line states. South Africa has long been a natural market for the goods of its neighbors and a natural source of supply for its neighbors’ needs. FACES PRESSURE FRONT-LINE STATES . « « Eight of the nine so-called front-line states are also among the 25 most drought stricken countries in Africa.

The 1986 Canadian study estimated that 25 per cent of the total trade of these nine countries in 1985 was with South Africa. More importantly, another 60 per cent passed through South African ports. The study, using statistics culled from the Inter- national Monetary Fund and the World Bank, notes that South Africa was the principal trading partner of five of the states — Lesotho, imbab and Malawi — in that year. Only Tanzania and Angola refused to trade openly with South Africa. Most of the front-line states are ardent advocates of further economic sanctions against South Africa despite iHBORS . ‘The white-minority regime retaliates by withholding strategic commodities such as food, oil and spare parts; i in the front-line states of South closing its borders to trade; and cutting off energy supplies to Mozambique, Botswana, Lesotho and Swazi- land. South Africa also tries to destabilize its neighbors, the Canadian study says. i, measures include threats, support for dissident groups in five countries, destruction of in frastructure involved in food production, marketing, ‘energy and social services, assassinations and abductions, attacks on three capital cities (Masseru, Maputo and Gaborone) and the outright invasion and occupation of (parts of) Angola.” ; A 1985 report estimates the cost of South African destabilization campaigns at $10 billion US in the period 1980-84. The report was prepared by the Southern African D Co. ii Conf a Commonwealth organization formed in 1980 to seek regional co-operation to combat South African influence. But the report notes: “There is a wide range of other effects of economic and currency in violation of the laws in the states. South Nine countries — Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Botswana, Angola, Lesotho and Swaziland — with a total population of 80 million find themselves closely tied to South Africa and highly vulnerable to its economic and military pressure.

Horrors are reality Murder, famine are way of life By JIM SHEPPARD Canadian Press 3 MAPUTO, Mozambique — Perliaps the most striking thing was the straightforward, quite way the four Canadian aid workers talked about the horrors they had seen here in Mozambique. Murder. Kidnapping. Maiming. Famine. Depriva- fi x “This is the pervading reality of the whole country,” Don Forsyth, a 47-year-old water engineef from Regina, said simply. The others, gathered in the dimly lit eighth-floor apartment filled with African carvings and paintings, nodded their heads quietly in agreement as they described how the Mozambique National Resistance countryside. South Africa routinely denies its support for the terrorist group, although outside observers agree that it is supplied by Pretoria. ‘The terrorists leave death, destruction and hunger in their wake as they try to apap ag rage Marxist government and reduce its ability to black neighbors in i Pretoria to begin of a famine that’s frequently compared in severity with the widely publicized disaster in Ethiopia three years ago. ECONOMY WRECKS There can be little aeeth, ater ‘acon ths’ beltere glance at this capital that Mozambique is a country deep trouble. There is grinding poverty, sporadic electricity — controlled by South Africa and threatened by the terrorists — and ever-present fear of attack. seems Some experts say Mozambique is tottering on the brink of total chaos. To the Canadians, though, this is a sad reality that doesn't have to be: Forsyth recalls a village 20 kilometres from the capital where he was working to improve the quantity and quality of its vital water supply. One day when he made the short journey from the capital, he found nothing left but a few bodies. ‘The Mozambique National Resistance, in a display of power and impudence, had raided the village only days were killed, some escaped into the bush foreed “If they're lucky,” Forsyth says, “they (the guer- rillas) let them go and they walk back, (some of them) women with babies on their back.” He pauses for a moment, shaking his head at the “Some people don't make it back,” he adds simply. Joel Rosenbloom, an intense 30-year-old Toronto dentist who works at a hospital in Beira farther north along the Indian Ocean coast, recalls other victims of the indeclared war. . “You see people who have their faces just hacked open (coming in for treatment) . . . . “You get such a high percentage of bullet wounds through people's faces that you know it's not just someone catching an odd bullet in the bush. You know that these are personally inflicted and meant to maim.” ‘The object, the Canadians say, is to terrify the people and to foree them off their land, further cutting food production and contributing to famine and chaos. “There are vast areas of this country that are unin- habited,” Forsyth says, recalling a flight from Maputo to a rich agricultural area about 150 kilometres away. “You see (from the air) a lot of places where there once was a village. There once were people there. You can (still) see all the paths and the places where the houses, were. “But now there's nothing. Just nothing.” A senior Canadian government official familiar with the situation says the famine fs almost entirely the result of the terror campaign which keeps farmers off their land and reduces food production.
