rallel between a worthy private life and a well - ordered. well- ruled church.

Timothy is warned of the in- herent dangers in entrusting a very young man or recent rvert with these high church fices. It will serve only to lay conceit and arrogance in such a one‘s path. and. additionally, be has not yet earned the res- pect and conﬁdence of non ~ Christ i a n s. another requi- rement if a bishop is to attract converts by his own good ax- a

mple.

Now the apostle turns to the qualifications of a deacon. Be- sides having the same qualities as a bishop. he must also be a man of practical acumen and great spiritual conviction. sec- ure in his own good conscience. Like a bishop. a potential deac- on's Christian character must be proved by his actions a n d way of life prior to his consider- ation for church office.

Paul interrupts his list of bishops' and deacons' qualifi- cations to say a few words about the characteristics of the wives of church. officers. Like Caesar's wife. or the modern "corporat- ion wife." they. too, must above reproach.

In chapter 5. Timothy is ad- vised to entreat rather than rebuke the elder men of his church. to regard the younger men as brothers, the elder wo- men as mothers and the young. er women as sisters. He is to act “without preferring one before the other. doing nothing in partiality." and to keep him- self pure.

Paul communicated these same qualifications to Titus at his church in Crete. with the ad- ditional admonishment to set his church in order. This would imply that the Cretan church had fallen into a' state of confu- sion. a situation Titus should correct. guided by the same instructions as those given Ti othy, We shall discuss this subject further in a later lesson.

Our mental pictures are like statues and paintings in church- es: The saints are invariably surrounded with halos of light. We wonder why the saints are discouraged and upset.

We hardly take their words seriously when like St. Paul of e Cross. they confess. “I was dry. distracted. tempted. I kept myself by sheer force at pray- ' I was tempted to gluttony.”

We ask how the situation could ever become that desolute for any of the saints. After all we know they will be canonlzed and all will turn to a glorious success with the suddenness of a dessert

Pension Plan Final Item OI Conference

O'l'l‘AWA (CP)—The federal- .provinclal conference ended Thursday after a 32-minute sea~ sion devoted entirely to discus- sion of administrative aspects of the Canada Pension Plan.

No data was set for the next meeting of Prime Minister Pearson and the provincial pre~ miers. Mr. Pearson had previ- ously mentioned the possibility of another conference in November.

Three ministerial-level meet- ings are tentatively scheduled before the end of the year.

A conference on Indian af- fairs will be held here in the last week of October.

Health and welfare ministers have scheduled a meeting for some time in late November or early December to discuss the hospital insurance and unem- ployment assistance programs.

Finance ministers and pro- vincial treasurers will meet about the same time to begin their tax - structure study and review economic trends and forecasts.

Thursday's session' centred around questions by Premier Manning of Alberta about ad- ministrative fe a t u re s of 0t- tawa's proposed system of con- tributory, earnings - related re- tirement pensions.

2. Administrative duplication

next conference in July. 1965. By then they may have some clearer indication of the Angli- can attitude.

The Methodists. who split away from the Church of Eng- land about 200 years ago, have always maintained a close re- lationship with the state-estab- lished church. They professed no new doctrine and continued to accept the 39 articles of the Church of England and. with

have spoken. Their reports have not been published but enough is known to indicate that dis- agreements among churchmen are. sharp.

It is the all-embracing nature or the Church of England that helps make things difﬁcult. It runs the gamut from high c"1urch Rituaiiats (whose churches and services closely resemble Roman Catholic prae. rice.) to rob Evangeli- cals. who regard preaching the word as their p task and do it. in almost Oalvinlstlo sim- plicity.

Enter one Anglican church In Hritain and you will find stat- ues and pictures. confessionals and incense. six or more high candles on the altar. priests in full vestments. Enter one in the adjoining parish and you find a bare. scrubbed dispel _ like at- mosphere. a text or two upon Ll)! walls. a Holy table with two small candles, a minister in simple white surpliee or black robe.
