Why capitalize
on Lord’s Day
with walkathon?

Editor,

At first sight, it was good to see the big advertisement
furthering the worthy cause of The Terrace Ice Arena, But
then came the let-down. It was to be on Sunday morning.

How is it possible that with 14 churches here in Ter~
race, such @ time is chosen without any explanation or apol-
ogy? Where is the common courtesy of our well-intentioned
civic leaders which will respect this day as possibly eome-
thing special for the majorlty—or at least a minority of the
people here? Instead, it is “open for all the familyl”’

Many chureh-goers and Sunday schoolers might have
wished to join in raising money In this way for the ice arena,
Some, however, still think God ought to come first and our
own fun second. The Ice Arena people are really “skating
an pretty thin ice” if they have to capitalize on the Lord’s
day to acquire the needed capital.

Why not have the Walk-a-thon on a Wednesday afternoon-
with all stores clogedand schools recessed? “Why, we couldn't
do that! We would lose money!'? How selfish can we get? Is
it right to rob God of one day in seven when we have six
others to choose from? '

Perhaps ministers and church people themselves are to’
blame, Perhaps we do not think enough of the Lord's day.
Why don’t we have the intestinal fortitude to speak up and let
others know our feelings. [Ef we don’t stand for something,
we'll very likely fall for anything.

Now we shouldn't only pick on the Arena Assgoclation,
I understand the elementary schools held a track meet last
Sunday. At least they had an explanation - if no apology: “So
the parents may attend.”
those responsible that it might he discriminating against
those children now allowed to attend? It is debatable whether
our public schools should be "neutral*’ jn education. It should
not be a matter of debate whether they have the right to rob
the church and God of His day, If It must be neutral, let not
the school go further by grinding the gears and throwing every«
thing into reverse, The publie school is “on the wrong track"
when it sponsors track meets on Sunday, If that's the only
dime parents can.come, there’s something wrong with the par-
ents, . ‘

Once every week, the whole family should comeaway from
the rush and rest awhile. The family needs time out, to get
back in tune - to perform harmoniously for another week. They
need this time to get tolhinow each other, to understand and face
the world, to get to know God through Jesus Christ who said
“Man shall not live by bread alone, butby every word that pro-
ceeds from the mouth of God,''

(By the way, now that we've had a Walk-a-thon, how about
a Work-a-thon — a city-wide, citizen-wide clean-up? It would
be much more valuable to the sponsor, the spotiored - and to
the despondent), 8
