What about

your family?

Ts your family as close as
you'd like it to be? Do you
often seek answers on how to
solye the constant con-
tentious feeling among your
family members?

. At one time in our life or
another we all seek these
answeres of peace and
harmony. Is it the fault of °
children that there is always
fighting in the home?. Is it

the parents fault? In most .
_ gases it's both.

Does this mean that
because your family oc-
casionally fights that you are
& poor parenté, Absolutely
not. A family is made up ofa
father, a mother, and
children, and it takes effort
from every family member
to make a successful family
unit. The father must give a

_ little and take a little, the

same with the mother, and
the children. ;

A family just isp’t an
organization which consists
of a father, a mother and a
few children, a dog, and a
goldfish, all living in an
urban house. A family is a
unit that is the backbone of
our society.

When the family-falls so -

does society, When there is
harmony in the home there is
harmony in seciety. Where |
there’s a close family, the
house suddenly turns into a
home, a place of. safety,
warmth, love, and guiding
counsel, Parents turn from
dictating rulers fo loving
counselors,. children turn
from brats into fountains of
joy and happiness.

A home isn’t a place to eat
and sleep, but a place one
secks, to find leve, comfort,
and understanding, Is this
the state of our homes at the
moment? Do your children
often come to you seeking
counsel? Are you there to
comfort your family when
they are distressed?

How much time do we
spend with our family, not in
front of the television set, but
on picnicy or in a game of
football? When was the last
time you had a real good talk
with your family, not to point
out faults, but to tell them
how much you really love

Want to do yourself a real
favor, take time out right
now and do it. Even though

since you did it last, do it. —
Then look for their reaction,
look for that tear that wells
in their eyes.

Then commit to yourself to
make up the time you’ve lost
with your family. We all love
our families, now let’s show
it. Let’s show them our love
by giving them the most
precious thing we have, our

In hope of strengthening
the family unit, British

to impress to jts citizens the
importance of the family in
this special month of May,
by expounding that the
family organization is the
heart of our society.

The Church of Jesus Christ

are synonomous. Because
they are so closely related
the Mormon church has
developed programs that

Presbyterians
won't disappear

: (CP) - The
moderator-designate of the
Presbyterian Church in
Canada says although he is
worried about the state of his
church, he does not believe
the denomination is about to
disappear in Canada.

Rev, Geoffrey Bigelow,
minister of Westmount
Presbyterian Church, Ed-
monton, will be formally
elected to head the church
when the 104th general
assembly convenes in

. Hamilton June 4.

He is taking over his‘ new

* role at a time when church

membership is declining at
the rate of nearly 3,200
members a year. Between
1966 and 1976 membership
dropped to 169,445 fram
200,125,

The chuch may have to
budget for a deficit in excess
of $500,000 in 1978. :

Bigelow said in a recdent
interview although he is
worried by the statistics, he
does not believe
Presbyterians will disap-

pear. .

But if “But if it were to be
God's will that they should, it
wouldn’t be the end,” he
said. “I’m a GChristina first
‘and then a Presbyterian;
God may hay some new
mission or role for us,"

He said the shock of the
current crisis is already
having a beneficial effect
because members are being
forced to re-examine every
aspect of the church’s life.

“Our commitment is not to
saving ourselves as an in-
stitution but to fulfilling
God’s call to be his people in
whatever form that may

take,” he said.

The 6l-year-old minister
said he sypports his church’s
stands supporting

therapeutic abortion and °

opposing capital punish-
ment.

‘He also says that
clergyment have no business
asking brides-to-be whether
they are pregnant-a queation
that is often asked by some
of the younger clergy when
counselling couples for

marriage.
“It's moz;ne of their
co:ncern; they’re just

getting carried away with a
sense of their: own
authority.”

But at the same time,
Bigelow said he has little use
for those who say it is ail
right for those who mean to
marry to have intercourse.
- “A lot of young women in
their early 20s find that they
have cohabited with severla
different men, each of whom
they intend to marry. or
thought would. marry them.

: “They lose something af
their personality in this kind
of circuit, Those who make
‘fun of virginity should
remember that the virgin
ean change her mind; she
stillhas a choice, but the
no; n-virgin has’ not.”

On other issues, Bigelow,
who will succedd Rev,
_ DeCourcy Rayner of Toronto
as moderator, said he would
like to see marijuana
decriminalized because
alcohol seems wors. He
alsosaid he deplores the way
you;ng theology students
today seem so ‘preoccupied
with their own security.”

One man’s quest

_ By DINA SUDLOW

Thomas York's book, And
Sleep in the Woods, is sub-
titled The Story of One Man's
Spiritual Queat. Perhaps he
should add, And One
Woman’s Love.

York’s story of his search
for God and self in the
Canadian woods ia all very
inspiring. But the hardship
and deprivation that his wife
Lynn put up with while the
search was going on is
equally so. ,

Tom York was a 22-year-
old student in North Carolina
when he decided to move

north to find a meaning for -

his life and, incidentaily,
escape the United States

draft. He packed himself, .

wife and a few belongings
into an old truck and headed
to Canada.

First stop on the search for
self was Bartibog Station,
N.B., inhabited only by a
shellshocked priest and a
few railroad sectionmen.
That first winter, Tom York
-took Jong walks ‘‘for purging
the mind of false images and

’ stale thought’ while Lynn

managed to keep their

Mankind’s origins

By PEGGY TRACY

Our Ancestors Came From
Outer Space claims .to
confirm mankind's ex-
traterrestrial origins, and
might be subtitled Fun with
Figures. The author,
Maurice Chatelain, a former
space expert with the
American National
Aeronautics and Space

explain what he describes as
three of his favorite theories
with a mind-boggling ser
of calculations. .

Chatelain apologizes to the
“many people (who) dislike:
numbers and figures ... but I

delight in mathematical
fancy footwork may stick

will probably skip. .

The three theories, set out

the book, might have been

1. Even tens of thousands
of years ago our ancestors
possessed amazing scientific
knowledge, even though
current official views claim
they hardly knew how to
make a crude flint axe and
had not even invented the
wheel.

2. This knowledge was
given to mankind by ex-
traterrestrial. voyagers—
astronauts from outer space.

4. This knowledge, as well
as the religious bellefs and
social customs, identical all
over the world, had to come
from one common source.

Next was a deserted cabin
even farther in the New
Brunswick bush where they
lived off the land and fended
off mosquitoes.’

The summer was spent

camping in a farmer's field
near Kingston, Ont, Lyna
completed studies to become
a teacher and York studied
basic theology. His thought
was to fulfil the words of a
prophet:
"T will make with thee a cov-
enant of peace and banish
wild animals from the land
so that they may dwell
securely in the wilderness
and sleep in the woods.”

So when Lynn found a job
teaching in Barrie, Ont.,
Tom York built a cabin in the
woods a distance from the
town and began his con-
version complete with
meditation and vision.

The conversion brought
with it new hardships for
Lynn, She had to give up her
job while he went through
the zealousness of a new
convert, struggling at 5
poorly-paid church student's
job in Whitby, Ont,, even to
the point of imposing
celibacy on them both.

York eventually became
an ordained United Church
of Canada minister and now
has a church in Toronto. He
also returned to the States to
stand trial for draft evasion |
and was acquitted.

There is much to admire in
a young man’s search for
selfrevelation and for his
God, and it is told with
candor’ and a certain
lyricism in this book. And
there is love, too, in York’s
recounting of his wife’s
giving and loyalty.
