Christian H

By CARDINAL Mcc-UIGAN

Many words have been written in the past few years creating a new atmosphere that is pervad- ing the Christian scene. At last. separated Christians are talking to one another.

This seems ridiculously little to brag about. but its signific-

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a harp. I was walking by a music store with my mother and it was there in the window, tall and golden. I knew, then and there, that I wanted to be a harpist.

But, my heart sank, for I knew my parents could afford neither the instrument nor the lessons. I started to pray every night to God to send me a harp.

Nothing happened. My small spirit rebelled, and I blurted out to my Sunday School teacher that my prayer hadn’t been answered. My teacher was a wonderful woman. She just said, “You've been going about this in the wrong way, Ann. You’ve been demanding something of God. Don’t you think it would be better

Her quiet words made an impression. The tenor of my prayers changed. And the teachings of the Church meant more to me than ever.

Well -— in time I did become a harpist. Recently, I played my first concert. And as the great, golden in- rument came to life beneath my fingers I hoped that the angels, too, were smiling.

man must w o rsh i p God with bo ' ' irit and his outward actions. I When the woman introduces the subject of the Messiah, the time has come for C h rl st to clearly identify Himself. Thus.r the woman of Samaria is thej first to hear from Christ's own lips His declaration that He Isl the Messiah. l The sudden return of the dis-E ciples interrupts the conversa- tion at this point. and the wom- an rushes off to tell all she meets that Christ. the promised Messiah. is at Jacob's well. Strange indeed were these words from this previously de- spised woman. She was the last -‘ person from whom the p ro u d Samaritans ever expected to hear anything on a religious sub- ject. Nonetheless. she was able; .to convince them that a remark-

e they went trooping out to see for themselves.

Those who came listened. be- lieved and begged the Master to stay as their honored guest and teach some more. Jesus and His disciples remained in Samaria for two days. In that time He taught them a New Testament of brotherhood of man for man:

forgiveness as the answer to old grudges. feuds and hatreds; or a love that heals all wounds.

This lesson in tolerance was His first public teaching and many more became believers be- cause of what they heard. They told the woman, “It is no longer

because of what you that we believe for we have heard Him ourselves: and we now

that this is. in truth. the Saviour of the world." (v. 42).

‘Hopes Pilgrimage Helps Unification

-VATICAN CITY (Reuters)-— Pope Paul VI said recently that he hoped his pilgrimage to the Holy Land would help the uni- fication not only of Christians but of all mankind.

Receiving the heads of diplo- matic missions accredited to the Holy See. he stated that his visit to Jordan and Israel “had had an unexpected echo among the civil authorities and public opinion."

The Pope said he thought the enthusiasm shown by people who were mostly non-Christian signified ‘ ' of I and spiritual values. which they see present in the per- son of the Pope."

He added the hope that the impulse resulting train the pi]- grimage might "contribute to the great movement of the unifi- cation of man ."

It may be that some things are missing that you consider essential for Christianity. It may be that some things are present that appear like aberrations. In any event. these things force you to admit that your Christian witness cannot be the same as that of your separated brethren.

And so Christianity presents itself to the world as a divided thing. This is the scandal of di- vided Christians.

Our renewed appreciation of one another has not ended our divisions. it has brought them into sharper focus.
