STANLEY ISHERWOOD opew St. J<ohnl Anc < aChurch coe.In the comfort 0f rnyý T.V.- room, sgur-rounided'by n ation mY son's toys, I 58w yesterday.in ýa -period ,of 4043 perbaps twenty minutes two newsý reports;con- trasting dramaticaily wlth one another and wlthmy own way of 111e. ý11 First there was a report from -fatnine-struck Ethiopia which may not see:thé 'relief of rain for Yet another year. In a refugee camp we saw the'old and the Young succumbing to starvation - the con- demned many looking on as the fortunate, few, the best prospects for life, were granted just enough food to sustain them. Help had not been forthcomling from the West, the commentator ,said, because Ethiopia is seen as a country in the Russian sphere of influence.. What do those starving millions know of politics? Then we switched to East Germany, very much a Russian sattelite, where the citizens are avowediy socialiat, probably repressed, but under-privileged? - I doubt it. Here, the commentator told us, there is littie unemployment but also next to no freedom 0f job choice;. there are no video arcades but there la political control 0f the children's lives; only one in five familles have telephones but anyway, thmkt1nmg and speaking one's mind can be dangerous. Then I turn the T.V. off, walk past My new dish-ý washer, full fridge, telephone, upetairs in my com-' fortable bouse and wonder, ,What hma al this te do' with me?" Thank You, God, for ail the wonderful thlngs which I bave. Thank you, Canada, for the beauty and goods which are so accessible. Thank you, you who fought, for the relative freedom which I have., Yes, I muasay "thank you", for the good thinga I have. But wbhat about the bad things which seem to » come. with them, unemployment, pornography,- drug addiction? Don't I bave an equal responsibility to speak to themn? Perhaps there te some sort of equation which says that in proportion as 1 .njoy the godi thimgs of ife I should work to overcome thse bail. I beieve that everyone who reads these words would be surprised at the amount Of influence which, he or she bas available for the using. One person speaking his mmnd la more powerfui than fïfty keeping quiet. I don't believe that Our way of life la aIl good and that East Germanys s lil bad, but one thÀng we Canadians do bave gomng for us ia the freedom to speak out and be heard, to influence1 others. SThe vision of the starving millions in Africa returna and another equation suggests itself: ,in proportion as I enior thse good daings of ife 1Ishould sek tosare tisem wish osisers. it could be by sbaring of myself, by financial support of others, bypressuring gover- nments, but it should be. S As Christians we are called to pray'and work for the coning of the kingdom of God. To know wher and how we don't have te look very far - certainly no farther tlan our'...sets.
