Opportunity And Challenge

1 The Times, London

The parable of the Day Labour- ers seems at first sight almost to suggest that God's rewards have no relation to the service renoered, but are solely a matter of his own choice and will, even of caprlcc or favouritism.

in one sense the divine rewards are always I matter of grace, for men can never by their own efforts merit the generosity of God. Yet his rewards have some relation to desert, as the parable of the talents clearly indicates. The teaching of Jesus lays much emphasis upon the truth that it is not so much the fact of the reward, but that the degree of it goes far beyond anything man could earn by his own ef- forts. But this particular parable is emphasizing I somewhat dif- ferent aspect of truth. It is that men are judges not so much by what they achieve in comparison with others but by what they ac- complish, or even attempt to ac- complish, in relation to their own capacities and opportunities.

Clearly these opportunities differ, just as men's talents differ.

; The men in the parable who were given their employment It the eleventh hour were not loung- ing at the street corners, they were there waiting in the mar- kei-place-”Ihe labour bureau.” ywllere men were to be found who were seeking work. And their ex- icuse for their idlness was the Equile adequate reason that no iman had hired them. When work was offered they apparently ac- cepted it with ieadiness; and so, when the day ended and the time lof reckoning came, they were lrcwanicd even as those who had j”borne the burden heat of the Iday." The spirit of service, not line amount rendered. was the basis of that reward; the will rather than the achievement. It is always this which turns ”the common dust of servile,opportun- ity In gold.".

man worth lies rather in the realm of character than of endowments, of quality than of quantity; not in what a man has received but in what he strives to contribute in the service of his fellow-men: it is possible for all to fulfil the div- ine conditions. "She bath done what she could" is the expression of supreme merit in the Gospel. By all external valuation what this woman did had little signi- ficance. but it was all that she could do, and that qualified her for the highest commendation Jesus could give. The outcome of I man's life is to be measured by the ratio between the gifts bestowed upon him-his intel- lectual equipment, his privileges. his opportunities, his favourable circumstances-and the service. no matter of what kind and in what sphere, that he dedicate: to the common good.

But the parable is also I chal- lenge. In this age of mass pro- duction and mass thinking. the in- dividual tends to be submerged. m..j....j...m..m.

and his importance reduced al- most to vanishing point. But Christianity, above all religions, enhances the value of the in- dividual, and see his contribution, insignificant as it may appear to be. as an essential element in the fulfilling of God's purposes for human life. Man's high- est achievements have depended not merely upon great men but upon the work of humb- ler individuals who have so often laid the foundations upon which greater men have built. So with the Christian Church; the work of its leaders is made possible by the devotion and service of the Church's members, often work- ing withoutrecognition and with no obvious reward. To use one's opportunties to the full, whether they be many or few, is to merit the greatest of all rewards, "well done. good and faithful servant.”

(Following is the second of a series of three articles on the new Criminal Code which came into ef- fect on April 1.)

Payments on the instalment plan. widely used these days on almost any kind of purchase. now will be made available to certain law offenders. -

If I judge is sympathetic, de- spite finding a hard-up person guilty. he may permit the offender to pay I court fine by instal- mcnts.

That is the purport of I section of Canada's new Criminal Code which came into effect today. It applies to offences punishable on summary conviction, r o u g h ly minor misdeeds tried before a judge alone for which the maxi- mum penalty is 5500 and --or six months in jail.

Under the old code, fines had to be paid in I lump sum within I lweek or two of conviction.

DISCRETIONARY POWERS

However. the new code, stream- llined to 750 sections from 1.100 after five years' study, gives a judge discretionary powers to fix the terms under which I fine is paid. That means he can order the fine to be paid by instalments. But if he misses a payment the offender is likely to land in jail. If the code is more lenient on

respects. It makes it a crime pun- ishablc on summary conviction in a ”peepin, tom."

Under the old code it was not a criminal offence to trespass on somebody's property. But now it's a crime "to prowl or, wander on someone elIe's property, at night, near I dwelling house."

Even in the revised code I word out of the middle ages - witch- craft - still has its place. A section says anyone who fraudulently pre- tends to use any kind of witchcraft. sorcery, enchantment or conjurin- tlon or tella fortunes for I fee or pretends to discover lost articles is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
