BIG MOMENT IN YOUR CAREER ?“What is this new jargon that lliear in the church these days?” asked Dr. D. D. Macleod of Bar- rie years ago. “I had a neighbor-

hg Ininister speaking to my con-

gregation the other evening, and all through he talked about “Ka- desh-barnea Christians” and ex- hurting us all to go up from Ka- dwesh-barnea. . ',“What did he mean?”

‘-The answer was that a popu- Ial‘ evangelist of that day had pu- Blished a sernion on Israel’s fail- lire at Kadesh-barnea.

The tribes had been delivered ‘F0111 Egyptian bondage, had en-

“Hired at Sinai and received the

law of God, and then had gone on to Kadesh-barnea, a plateau 1.1131 south of the Promised Land.

Here God commanded th e m ihmllgh Moses to go up to the con- quest of Palestine. But the peo- lie were frightened by a major- IIY report from the spies whom they had sent to explore the land and get information a b o u t the “lite they would have to take 311d the inhabitants they would

just been in refusing to go.

The result was a crushing de- feat at the hands of the people of the land. »

Here is the lesson of Kadesh- barnea: When Israel refused to advance at God’s command, they were not allowed to afterwards. They had reached a point in their wilderness wanderings w h e n prompt, decisive action would. have brought the fulfillment of God’s promises and realization of their hopes. At that point they failed. And that failure in trust and obedience involved the for- feiture of that generation's oppor- tunity.

None but the two believing sp-ies were allowed to enter Canaan.‘

And here is the lesson for us. There is a strategic moment in every enterprise when firm and vigorous action is essential to suc- cess.

All that went before leads up to it; all that is to follow hinges on it. If its significance is dis- cerned and action taken more can be accomplished in an-hour than could otherwise be achieved in years.

But if that moment is alllow l to pass, noaction at a-later time can succeed.

ONE EXAMPLE

One example is the harvest. There all the farmer’s labors - the preparation of the soil, the sowing of the seed, the weeding and perhaps the watering, and the slow process of growth - lead up to the time when the grain is ripe.

Then for a few days is the far- mer’s opportunity. If he is able to gather in the grain he will be amply rewarded for all he has spent and done. But if he delays, and the grain is once allowed to fall, no amount of labor at a lat- er stage can recover what he has lost. .

There is a strategic moment in every career. The man’s future hands on his ability and readi- ness to take advantage of it.

Thelate Dr. John MacNei1l’s came at a great meeting in Lon- don, England, which he attended as a young minister from Winni-

U Dene was the third on the list of speakers, but the two well-known orators who preceded him had both missed fire, and the expec- tancy of the crowd had soured in- to gloom. . W

Many in deep disappointment were rising to leave when this young man sprang to the front in answer to the chairman's call.

In less than half a dozen sen- tences he arrested the retreat, and the crowd in the aisles turn- ed back to listen to a man with a burning message and the pas- sion to drive it home. V

On the evening of March 16, the juniors of Notre Dame captivated the hearts of all in the well-filled Academy auditorium with a splendid vocal and pianoforte en- tertainment.

The junior musical recital, fol- lowing so soon after the senior recital, displayed a similar pre- cision and finish. The small artists, so confident at the piano, demonstrated the professional skill of their teachers Sister St. Elizabeth of the Visitation and Sister St. Mary Honora.

The junior choral group under the direction of Sister St. Mary Honora gave a beautiful and de- lightful rendition of several num- bers. The Medley of ‘Irish Songs was particularly pleasing and ap- propriate on the eve of the feast of Saint Patrick.

The choral group amazed the audience with a "correct and beau- tiful rendition of the Salve Regina in Georgorian chant.

Another delightful at-traction was the singing of three solo numbers by Jacqueline Doyle, Bethany Macrntyre and Victoria Kenny. The three promising, young sopranos received generous applause. . ,
