status quo?"-that is

me” we're mu Latin for the The world is in a mess today, and many people claim that the church's chief function is the sup- Dort of things as they are. The church ought to. be 3 bum”; ' the Spree of Communism. they say. Or. the church ought to confine her teaching to the moral and spiritual. and leave public .1- fairs to business men and states- men. Or. the church ought to in- culcate those virtues in the com. mon people that make for the sta- bility of the social order and the prosperity of the nation. .

Now the church can never be reconciled to the world and at the same time be true to her Divine Lord. The World council of Churches, organized in Assets in 1948, refused to be identified with capitalism, or Communism, or, indeed, with any social order. She affirmed her right and oblig- ation to stand apart and criticize everything in any order that she found contrary to the teachings of Christ.

It is simple folly to accuse the Kaiser and the Fuhrer and their fellow - conspirators against t h e peace of the world as solely re- sponsible for two world wars and for the calamities they have brought on mankind. These men could never have wrought the mis- chief that they planned if the ten- dencles of their time had not given them their opportunity. The evils which have cursed mankind since 1914 and the perils threaten- ing the world now could never have been brought to pass if the seeds of conflict had not been sown in the piping times of peace. And the church's first duty is to ack- nowledge her share of responsibil- ity for all that has happened and confess her guilt before God.

In the New Testament "the world" means human society or- ganized apart from God. and Jesus declared that the world was under judgment. When the Greeks asked to see Him, He said: "Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out." (John 12:31).

Jesus was born into an occupied country. The will of the conqueror was enforced by penalties as cruel as any in modern times. Jesus never sought the conquerors' fav- ors. He never allowed their ter- rors to lower His sights. In the face of their rule by violence He declared that "they who take the sword shall perish with the sword." His refusal to compromise or com- ply with anything short of the holy will of God was as firm against His own people as against the invader. In the teeth of the agitation of the zealots for war to the knife against the alien oppres- sor. He preached His doctrine of love for enemies and non-resist- ance to violence. What He preach- ed He practiced when. with twelve legions of angels awaiting His com- mand, He refused to use His power against His murderers. "He dared to be misunderstood by the good people around Him when the free- dom and spontaneity of religion were at stake and when the out- casts from society sought the mer- cy of God. He is the Captain of our salvation; His church cannot refuse to obey Him.

T1? past mistakes are coming down

upon us. It is the function of the church of Christ to lay bare the errors which led to these evils, and not to shrink when her own lack of insight is exposed thereby. With the same faithfulness she must deal with the evils of the present hour. The fact that it is necessary for free nations to resist aggres- sion and oppose organized tyranny and cruelty must not blind the church to the unnecessary wrongs inflicted on innocent people in the process.

"Look at what we are involved in!" exclaimed a preacher of our own city when the horrors of mod- ern war were brought before him. Those who support the cause of freedom and the rights of man must not shut their eyes to the wrongs often committed in their name. Horrible things are being done in Korea by the North Ko- reans and their allies, but there are stories of the doings of those opposing them which make us hang our heads in shame. If the law explained last week holds true, namely, that the clearer the light against which we sin the deeper our guilt, then the cruelty of the enlightened is more reprehensible than the cruelty of the barbarian. Above everything the resort to war for the settlement of disputes be- tween nations calls for the con- demnation of the Christian con- science. War may be and has been forced on free peoples to ward off evils far worse than the clash of arms, but every effort that Chris- tians can put forth for the settle- ment of disputes between the na- tions by conference and mutual understanding and concession should be called out in the present crisis. There are many other evils in our time which require the dis- cernment and courage of the pro- phet in order that men may see their sins in the light of the right- eousness of God.

Rev. David Read. Chaplain of the University of Edinburgh wrote as follows in the British Weekly: "The one organism that ought to be at home in the present age is the Christian church. Just be- cause the church is never really at home on this side of the End, it should meantime be most at home in an age of flux, danger and in- security. It was born into such ll world. and has always reacted with vigor and leadership in times of revolution. It produced a Paul and a Peter for the days of Nero, an Augustine for the break-up of the Roman Empire, a Luther and a Calvin for the birth-throes of the modern world. When John Knox looked at his stormy stretch of seventeenth Century his word was: I thank my God that I have come in the thick of the battle. A Church that is aware of Original sin is not surprised at the demoniac forces of evil in the world; and a church that knows the sovereignty of God is not dismayed."

We believe in God and that "in all things He co-operates for good with them that love Him." He is in control of the powers of earth and even the forces of iniquity cannot escape from His overruling might. The ultimate outcome is sure and His righteousness will prevail. In the meantime. however, the call is for men to "come to the help of the Lord against the mighty."

OTTAWA-When Ralph May- bank mounts the beach of the Manitoba Court of King's Bench, he'll probably be the first hobo who ever became a Canadian judge. -

Of course, it's a long time since Maybank was a hobo. Forty-one years. to be exact. In the inter- vening period he became a suc- cessful lawyer. 9. highly respected member of Parliament, and would have been a cabinet minister had there been a cabinet opening for an MP from Manitoba.

Maybank was only 16 when he set out to see the world as an un- invited guest of the railways. But he was no box car 'bo. Maybank rode nothing but the crack pas- senger trains. "The top of the third car from the engine's the best place." he says.

And although a hobo, he wasnt a tramp. There's a fine distinc- tion, he explains. A tramp doesn't work, but a hobo does, whenever he needs money and can find a temporary job which won't inter- fere too much with his travels.

In four years of wandering about the Canadian and American west, young Maybank worked at various times as a teamster, timber cutter. harvest hand, railway hand. con- struction worker. mill hand and sailor.

As often as not he went by the name of Murphy. He found that a large proportion of foremen were Irish, and that he could get jobs more easily if he .were Irish too.

After four years the wandering life palled on him. "There was a growing emptiness to this romance I'd been looking for," he explained, "so I headed back home."

There he went to night school to finish eighth grade. working days in a railway boiler shoP- He got his High School education the same way. By the time he entered the University of Manitoba to study law, he was a railway switch- man, and worked nights.

For a while after graduation be combined law and newspaper re- porting: then got ,into politics. He was a Liberal member of the House of Commons from 1935. winning four consecutive elections. Now he is about to resign to accept a judgeship.

In Ottawa Maybank was a vic- tim of geography. There was room for only one member from Man- itoba in the cabinet. and 50m90"9 was always ahead of him. Had he been from Alberta. however. there El no doubt he would have succee

Srnsfor J. A. Macxinnon in the cabinet two years ago. Instead, a newcomer to politics. George Prud- ham of Edmonton West, got the post. The nearest Maybank cam..- to a portfolio was successive ap- pointments as Parliamentary As- sistant to the Ministers of Na- tional.I-Iealth and Welfare. Mines and Technical Surveys, and Re- sources and Development.

He would have made an excel- lent Cabinet Minister, just as he made an excellent MP and Par- liamentary Assistant. But it wasn't in the cards. So, after 16 years of i

self-sacrificing service to the people of Canada, he is resigning to be- come a judge.

There isn't a. member of Par- liament or the parliamentary press gallery who isn't sorry to see him go-but none is sorrier than May- bank himself. He loves the life of an MP, even though he finally had to realize its limitations and its penalties.

O O O

A lot of good natured kidding went to Ross Thatcher, the Moose Jaw hardware merchant and CCF MP as a result of his speech in the

. PAGE THREE

Commons attacking Gen. MacAr- thur. He demanded that MacAr- thur be replaced, and a. few hours later President Truman followed Thatcher's advice.

when Thatcher was a Kmen new MP, he got some advice about politics from a veteran newspaper- man. One point was that, in making a speech, he should inject a subject of hot current interest and take a strong stand on it. That way he could be sure of big headlines.

As his MacArthur speech shows. he still follows that advice.
