fathers choice success- not family stouffville in many homes the father is no longer an integral part of the family circle dr frank peters graduate psychologist and past president of sir wilfred laurier university told members of the adult department stouffville missionary church sunday school sunday morning rather than their children most worship the god of success he said dr peters centred his remarks around the subject the breakdown of the family in the 70s its cause and its cure the home should hold top priority no l the speaker stressed unfortunately with many fathers this is not the case today he said he described the trend as one of our greatest problems parentchild conflicts are also com mon he noted with boys use of the family car tops the complaint list dr peters revealed other conflict areas include scolding if subject marks are not as high as others forcing them to eat foods they dont like and criticism of table manners with girls parental debate over dating heads all the rest he said dr peters stated emphatically that accoridng to conducted surveys 90 per cent of all couples who marry under the age of 19 will end up separated or divorced in north america he said breakdown is occuring in one out of every three families a main ingredient in keeping the family circle intact is communications the speaker stressed discussions between father and son mother and daughter husband and wife with respect to reprimanding teenagers over the errors of their ways dr peters warned against continually recalling the past the way things were kids today only know an affluent world lets live in the present and stop crying about the fact we have it so good he concluded with the churches a purpose in life 1 by jim clubine associate pastor stouffville missionary church who holds the an swers to our social and political problems it seems that a week does not go by unless some public servant oversteps his privileges daily we read of the inhuman way one person treats another i am sure that many share the same fear that i do when and where will it all end parents are becoming increasingly alarmed about the future world their children will face the solution to any problem is to begin with its root i believe that we act according to the way we think the result is to look for the source of problem actions in the prevailing philosophy existential x phil osophy prevails much of the thought that guides our society the answers that any philosophy gives to the questions or origin destiny and purpose are basic to the rest of the system of thought we are told that our origin was by chance our destiny is the grave with nothing beyond this leaves us to conclude that there is no purpose for life in general a reading of high school text books will reveal that these interest lacking stouffville with no preelection nomination meeting as was the case up until 1971 public participation is nil mayor gordon ratcliff told the tribune during an interview friday theres something lacking he said at one time a nomination was as he put it the highlight political event of the year now he pointed out acclaimed candidates can sit by and say nothing mayor ratcliff suggested that if a full slate had been assured an allcandidates meeting could have been arranged as it is be wondered if many people would turn out when only two wards are directly affected other than publicity through the tribune the mayor admitted he has no other solution assumptions underlie what is taught the problem we are left with is that man must find meaning for himself as an individual no one can tell another what is right or wrong without a universal purpose each man becomes the final authority about himself and thereby must make up his own purpose the simplified philosophy of people making their own pur pose can be summed up in these cliches if it feels good do it and do your own thing further if people believe that the grave is the end of being then they will want all of life today you do not have to look far to see how todays individual is in hot pursuit of everything that makes him feel good this can only lead us to chaos the problem is in the way we think it would seem reasonable that a thought change may give us the solutions we are looking for christian philosophy tells us that we have a personal god who made us for a specific purpose god has also revealed to us truth by which we can judge actions to be right or wrong why dont you pick up a copy of the bible and see for yourself pastor back home vtvian its a privilege to be a friend oi
