A noted ora-

Charles Dickens

; for the most pa-

; thetic story in lit-

j erature. He re-

} i. plied, “The story. of the prodigal son.”

When Samuel Coleridge was asked for the richest passage in literature, he said it was the first 16 verses of Matthew, the passage contain- ing the Beatitudes.

And when Daniel’ Webster was asked for the greatest legal digest, he replied that it was the Sermon on the Mount.

No one has equalled David for poetry or Moses for law or Isaiah for visions or Jesus for ethics or Paul for logic or John for love.

Some of us will never forget the coronation of King George VI, the first time a coronation had been broadcast on radio. At one point in the Westminster Abbey service the crystal-clear voice of the Arch- bishop of Canterbury rang out with these words, “Our gra- cious King, we present you

with this Book, the most valuable thing this world af- fords. Here is wisdom, this is

While you read this sen-

in the developing countries. One will soon die. All will know hunger and disease. And yet one may become a teacher, a scientist, or a leader who could make a difference to the future.

Help UNICEF to help these underprivileged children in 114 countries around the world by sending UNICEF Greeting Cards. Greeting cards are available throughout the year and are on sale in your community now at The Book- shop, Selkirk College and the local Super-Valu store.

Every dollar raised in Canada, through government grants and host country sup- port, becomes $14 by the time it reaches a child in need.

The Bible -remains the marvel of the ages: supernatur- al in origin, inspired in content, infallible in authority, eternal in duration, ‘infinite in scope, universal in interest, regenera- tive in power, personal in application, inestimable in val-

ue,

It is the absolutely unique and incomparable Book—be- cause of its remarkable unity, its amazing indestructibility, its fulfilled prophecy, its astound- ing confirmation by the sclence of archaeology, and its trans- forming power in the lives of men and society,

The Bible is a guide for youth and a comfort for the aged; it is food for the hungry. and water for the thirsty; it isa lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path; jt is salvation for the sinner and grace for the

ristian.

One day a man was ob- served scrutinizing an owl. “That owl is not stuffed right,” he said. “Its head is not on right, the body is not. poised right, the feathers are not fixed

' Says Clown Priest

Standing before his con- gregation every Sunday, Rev. Bruce Mosier looks like any. other Episcopal priest. But when the circus comes to town, he throws off his clerical robés to become—a clown.

* Rev. Mosier, 73, who has just this month retired from the priesthood, has been a clown for the Peru, Ind., circus for the past seven years.

“I never stopped being a priest in God’s church. And being a clown puts'me in touch with a great many people.

“The circus does 10 per- formances each season and it’s a wonderful thing for young

people.” Rev. Mosier said it was his daughter that first turned him on to the circus.

“She kept telling me to come with her and see the circus," he recalls, “I finally went, and, well, -I was dumb- founded. The circus is the greatest thing I have ever run into.”

The first year, he was just aspectator, but the second time he went to the circus he was itching to take part.

* “So they dressed me in a blue nose, a red wig and a crazy hat, and I've been doing it ever since.”

{ owl better than that I would go out of the taxidermist busi- ness.”

Just then the owl moved!

Reality counts! The Bible is alive. Generation follows gener- ation, yet it lives. Nations rise and fall, yet it stands. Kings, dictators, presidents come and go, yet it endures. Criticized, despised, hated, yet it survives. Doubted, suspected, miscon- strued, yet it rings true.

The Second Sunday in Advent has for many centuries been kept as Bible Sunday. 1am proud to be identified as one who recognizes the Bible as the greatest of all books and its author as the greatest of all teachers, I dare to believe it is the one Book supremely needed in this decade of the seventies,

To know it is to love it; to love it is to believe it; and to believe it is life eterna},

Contro! of drunken driv. ers, use of seat belts and protection for used car buyers were some of the main items of a B.C,-Automobile Association brief to the government last week,

BCAA president Bill Mc- Kinley, told cabinet that any company selling used. auto- mobiles must accept some re- sponsibility for each vehicle sold in a direct ratio to the value of that vehicle.

The BCAA brief cited Australian and New Zealand legislation which had the sup- port of the buying public and most used car companies, after it drove some less reputable car dealers out of business.

Standardized car sales agreements setting out in lay- man’s language, the terms and condition - of the sale and warranty were asked for by the

association, which also called.

for_a special warranty on the

majority of yaad.carsaai. ceo.

The brief. stated that a system of car lot stickers listing price, model, -year of regis- tration, odometer reading at time of dealer purchase and name of former owner would give potential buyers much needed information for check- ing their purchase.

Tt also called. for special warranties on each vehicle in relationship to its selling price, sothat a higher-priced used car would have a greater warranty

than a lower priced vehicle both in time owned and miles covered by the new purchaser,

The association suggested, that deaters could limit their liability to the purchaser by displaying a notice of “Declared Defects" on the vehicle. Defects not listed which became ap- parent during: the warranty period would still be subject to the appropriate warranty pro- visions.

On the matter of drunken driving, the BCAA brief stated that the association was alarm- ed at the level of drinking/ driving offences in the provitice and urged the government to expand “Driving While Im- Paired” education programs.

‘These programs, originally proposed by the BCAA in 1968,

are currently operating in only a few B.C: centres.

‘The BCAA stated that it believed rehabilitation was the most effective way of dealing with the drinking/driving prob- lem’ and that large fines and licence suspensions were not a continuing deterrent.

It recommended that those

«convicted of impaired driving

offences be ‘required to attend the specialized self-supporting rehabllitation programs,

The brief called for in- struction on the dangers of impaired driving to be included in all driver education pro- grams, Greater emphasis was also sought in safety education generally,

It stated that all new drivers should be required to
