ORONO WEEKLV TIIEMES, TIIUR8IDAY, JULV 22d, 1%5 Cnristianity And, Lif The Three Rs, Scxjpture Lesson: Mathey 6: 19-34. Taken fromn a sermon preached by Rev. Basil E. Logyý-: Let us cons ider Cbristianity and Mife in termns of three R'S. That is- Christianity as relevant, reverent and responsible. Christiauity is relevant, pertin-b ent, concerned with the mtter li hand. Often we either express our Chrlstiauity or think of it in terms that are not pert ine nt. Let Up keep in the background of ourt minds the illustration of P. parkt as we talk of Christianity and life In a certain park there were signs saying, no bull playing, no 4,icycle rdiug, rio pets, no walk- ing onu the grass. Such a park is ýa muaseurm piece. Tt is not rele-1 vant to the need of man in this age. If a park is relevant to the situation' of our time it would likely have flowers, grass, hedges ponds, lanles, tennis courts, bull diamonds, a swimiming pool and beuiches. There are those who feel that Christiauity is againist life, ai- ways opposed to somieting. This is a misuuderstandingc. Chrisian- ity is doiugý rather than not do- iny. So mnuch of the expression of Christianity takes the form of the negative. We can get this from the Ten Comman dments. Eighit of them ýare negative, only two are positive. Now' unless we are con- scious of how ineffective and er- relevant the negative is, to the real abundaut life iu Christ, then: v~e could subserible to something ln which we believe, but fail to do those thiugs whichmake life better. Someone said, "Christian- lty is not just something you be- lieve, b ut 'something you do." We ,May subscrible tQ the com- maudment "No other gods" be- fore the Great Spirit biehind the .nuiverse, but f ail to do anything positive lu relatiouship to living a life harmonious with that God. We.may hot tuke the Lord 's 'name iu vain literally, but wel'May curse our fel lowmen. We May re- frain from kilIling1 or committing adultery, but we May destroy iu other ways, the people with whom we associate. We may think we do not covet, yet it m3ay be thie root of ail our actions unless we are very conscious of the nature Local 3-Year 01 Its Fjrst Race Fo i. can be used wrongly. Even the Royal DewJ, a, three-year-old Bible can be, pervexted by mani colt owned by Mr. Fred Lycett, to such an extent that people Orono, made a successful debut have, lost their lives, lived iu at the Peterborough raceýway on- ýmisery and hiardship) because of Suturdlay night.

Too ofteu rigon is negutive and not rel- evant. Those whio observe a Sub- bath are puting themiselves lu hune for better hiealth physically, mentally and spiritually. A park is meant to bring, enjoyment aud refreshment aud God put us intû this life to eujoy life. Everythiing is good until we pervert it. But see it lu the light of Christ and live it in the Spirit of Christ and it becornes blessed. Christiauity reflects a rever- ence for life because it is God's creaion. So often man hias, not hud reverence for the beauty of nature. Man has ruined so miuch of the ýface of' the earth because he is blind and thinks offly of himself. Christianity would cre- ate in us a spirit of reverence for the things which God hias created We see these things not as ours to be plundered but ours to use and make better. Whiere moan lives 'for himself he creates a wasteiand. Where he cooperates withi God hie changes the wuste- land into the land of plenty. Christianity would teach us « revereuce for every other life, ~God créated us with unique per- sonalities, each one differeut. Certaiuly our children needgud ance but too often we force them into a mold not of God's maki 1ng. Quite often marriage becomnes un implemient of distortion of other lives and this lack of reverence mutilates them. Now certainly we cun, inspire euch other alid a lfe of beauty draws another life into a more complete life of beauty.
