FROM THE CHURCH By Lance Stephens The first of this series spoke of how trust was a necessity in any relationship, and how trust is based on honesty, on truth between those in- volved. The second quality necessary is dependability. Some will say honesty is truth of ‘words, dependability is truth in action. We tearn trust of the other if their actions suit their words. If a husband or wife says to the other, ‘I love you most of all,’ but their actions say | love someone or something else more, the other becomes very uneasy about the truth of ‘1 lave you’. It doesn’t matter if the ‘other’ they are competing with is another person, a job, a hobby, or a thing. There is still this unease. For we instinctively know that marriage requires that our spouse must be first in priority of af- fection. If, however, the husband or wife says, ‘1 love you most of ail’, and their actions fit those Change requires patience By Lanee Stephens ina number of municipalities across Canada, police are. switching to smailer cars. The reasoning is simple. Smaller cars are more economical. And police today rarely indulge in those wild high speed chases that require big powerful cars--dangerous drivers become more dangerous, when they're. desperately evading pursuit. Blacks, women and members of some minorities are slowly beginning toappear among the ranks of professionals, and in executive positions. In India, rats stil destroy about as much grain as humans consume. Baha’i celebrates birth of the ‘Bab’ On October 20, the birth of words, then their Jove deepens with the years. Children must trust parents, obviously when children are very small, they don‘t have much chaice. As they grow older, they learn very quickly how dependable their parents are. If Mom or Dad make promises lightly but frequently doesn‘t keep them, the child learns to distrust those words and the world to them becomes an untursiworthy, dangerous place. The child learns quickly to look out for his own interests and not to depend an others. He learns fo say whatever suits the occasion and to make commitments with no Intention of keeping them. WINDSOR, Ont. (CP) — Dr. Robert McClure, a former moderator of the United Church of Canada, says the Christian message must be conveyed hetler to peuple of the Third World in the face of counter- propaganda by Communist countries, “We are custudians uf the Christian message, but that is nol the only message available,’ the retired missionarysurgeon told a Windsor church audience recently. “The Communist countries have a_ terrific message." Dr. McClure, 77, who grew up in northern China and was the first ‘ay moderator of the United Church of Canada frum 1968 to 1971, said Communisl countries convey their messages through broadcasts in every imaginable language. “Moscow and Peking can verbalize much betler than we tan.” ° . He said Christianity is making progress.

VANCOUVER (CP) Gen. Arnold Brown, 2 Canadian whu last year war named world leader of the Salvatiun Army, spoke to about 5,000 people at three sessions last Sunday. He talked of — the significance of the organization, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The seeds of an unhappy life are sown. Another unhealthy unit of a sick society is begun. Dependability is honesty of action-- a coherence of word and deed.

He asserted that not only Islam, but all the religions of the world, sat poised at a crucial moment in their history, a moment which would wit- ness the fulfillment of all the sacred promises enshrined in their Scriptures. Explaining that such terms as “Last Days”, ‘Day of Judgement” and "Time of the End” should be in- terpreted allegorically, and indicate the arrival of a new Revelation from God, rather than the physical end of the world - the- Bab openly challenged the accepted interpretations af traditional scholars. In its sixth year, His ministry was brought to a sudden and violent end by a firing squad, instigated by religious leaders who saw Him as a threat to their position and power. He lived long enough, though, to achieve His purpose. The public debate about His claims acted as a revitalizing agent to the intellectual and spiritual stupor into which 19th century Persia had sunken, A new and dynamic community had formed, based upon His teachings and inspired by His example. The purpose towards which the Bab directed this com- munity was the recognition of the Divine Teacher who was to come after Him, whose mission it would be to unite the disparate religious traditions of all peoples into one common Faith.
