JULY 4, mt O-O-606-O6-O-.6-00466 Religion. 'OrfOV1 vw v-v-rv' June is the month for weddings. Every year Ollli YOI-ml P309” In zreat numbers choose this month ;.,,- the marriage ceremony, and 1951 has had its full share of these celebrations. Joy ind ""'”W '1' ways mingle on such occasions, because the old home must be left in order to enter the new and the break is hard to bear. but the Joy nlwnya predominates. Now it means much to those who try to under- stand Jesus that it was at a wad- ding feast that he wrought His first miracle. To Jesus marriage was the most sacred of all our human relation- ships. when His critics challeng- ed Kim on the subject of divorce no replied that divorce is a viola- tion of both the law of God and the law of our own nature. Two people, constitutionally fitted for each other, enter into a vital union; as the family thus formed is the social unit and the foam of me, it is necessary that the mar- rlage be authorized by the state and hallowed by rellzlon: but what really constitutes marriage is the coming together of two whom God made for each other in 3, union which perfects the lives of both. Now, according to Jesus. what the law did not do it cannot undo, and divorce leaves the union as it was (Mark 10, 2-12). A divorced woman once protest- cd against this doctrine and was asked-' "Can you two persons ever be totone another or think of each other as if your marriage had not takeh place?" "Oh ml" was her answer, "we cannot but be aware ofrcach other in a way different from everyone else." Divorce is. therefore, a human attempt to undo what Nature and Nature's God have written into the souls of the wedded pair. It is not surprising. therefore, to find Jesus at a wedding in which His Mother was deeply in- ierested. The Church follows a sound instinct in regarding His presence and the first miracle at the wedding in Cami as the hal- lowlng of marrriage. it was also ills first use of the power which had come upon Him at His bap- tism. Just look at the situation. As Jesus came up from the wat- ers of baptism the Holy spirit came upon Him in the fulncss of power and love. in His Tempta- tions he had just refused to make any use of this divine power ex- cept in the service of love. But in a. simple wedding He found those conditions fulfilled, and the power which He would not use to crush if-lls nation's enemies. He could use to save a young couple from hu- miliation on their wedding day. Someone had miscalculated; the supply for the feast had run out; Jesus' mother, who felt respon- sible -,the. h igness-.91 the us- raslo'h;.3I.i.rned er son for help. Hospita lty was there the queen of the graces: a failure at this point would never have been forgotten; so Jesus intervened with the mir- acle of turning the water into wine, Jesus tints practised what He preached. We saw in last week's study the place which he gave to kindness in God's judgment of men: here we see Him doing a kindly dced with the power which God had given Him. we are not making too much of our weddings. True, there is often unnecessaryr display and sinful indulgence, but anything that we can do to sancti- fy the marriage, to deepen the happiness of the wedded pair and . to speed them on their way is foi- 'iowing Christ's example. what about Jesus' answer to His Mother? It reads as follows in a new translation: "0 woman, what, have you to do with me? My hour- has not yet come." This was not intended as a rebuke, and Mary did not take it as such; it did in- dlcaw that her hint had raised is- -W35 which she did not under- stand. The real explanation is that Jes- us was startled. He was in posses- slim of a new divine power; He had Just refused to use it for any ends rxcept those of love; here was a challenge for immediate action in lnvc's interests. Often we spend Wm preparing for a certain WWII; We are sure that we have By Very Rev. George 0. Pltlgeon, D.i)., L.L.D. Flnt,Moderator of the United Church of cumin (Copyright) Q4&OOOO-O-GOO-O-O-O-O-O-V and Life 1 what it takes; but we are tense when the the moment for theifirst test arrives. Jesus was human. like us. when an opportunity for the exercise of His power 'was sprung upon Him; He too was tense. what He meant by His "hour" was the word from His Father which governed all His actions. No human being could speak that word - not even His Mother. So He turned to His Father in the secrets of His soul. and, as the answer came, the deed of love was done. As I write the lamp on my desk shines with brilliant light; the energy which illumines comes through its connection with Nia- gara. God came to Jesus with new power and love at His baptism; here those energies accomplish the impossible. our spiritual ex- perience connects us with God, the Source of life-giving power and the effect is a quickenlng and reinforcement of our moral and spiritual nature which enables us to work wonders in His name. of- ten have I seen this incoming of God's spirit change the morally impotent into the spiritually mighty. and the ofi'er everyone still. is open to IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of J.

Gerald Waring Reporting OTTAWA-In the closing days of Parliamentary sessions it's us- ual for the Commons to vote many millions in a matter of minutes. and this recent session was no ex- ception. Dr. George Davidson. Deputy Minister of Welfare. was in an alcove behind the throne of Com- mons' Speaker W. Ross Macdon- ald, waiting for his departmental estimates to be called. That was to be his signal to enter the chamber and take 9. chair placed temporarily in front of the desk of Health and Welfare Minister Martin. so he'd be available to help Martin answer questions from the opposition. The estimates were called. Dav- idson entered the chamber brisk- ly. But by the time he had walk- ed the 50 feet to Martin”: desk. the Commons had passed 3450,- 000.000 of his estimates-mainly for family allowances-without asking a single question. 5 O I The same thing happened to Dr. 0. M. Solandt. chairman of the Defence Research Board. Solandt was behind the curtains in the chamber, ready to walk to his seat in front of the desk of Defence Minister Ciaxton. He walked quickly down the aisle as soon as the DRB estimates were called. but the entire DRB budget of more than 335,000,000 had been passed before he reached his seat. This terrific clip of money vot- ing ihe Commons achieves in the last days of 'the session isn't due entirely to the M.P.'s desire to fin- ish their work quickly and go home. It's also due to the fact that by then. just about every conceivable topic has been talked out in earlier debates. and no- body wants to thrcsh old straw. Besides, it's too hot. and holi- days are beckoning. Thus it's no coincidence that busy ministers like to present their departmental budgets in the final days of the session. 0 O O Nobody has been able to figure out the Progressive Conservatives' strategy in holding back the re- signation of A.L. Smith, their M. P. for Calgary West. The Conservative strategists here have had Smith's letter of resig- nation addressed to Speaker Mac- Donald since February. when Smith left Ottawa because of ill health, but they wouldn't put it in. Had they done so, they un- doubtedly could have won five by- elections last week. instead of fottr. Now it's too late-the Govern- ment probably would take the full six months allowed before calling the” Calgary West by-election. hoping the temper of the elector- ate would improve in that time. After thinking over the beating llanlfatter - Porter Wedding At St. James 'Presbyterlan Church at three o'clock yesterday after- noon the marriage took place of Helen Elaine Porter, daughter of the late Lockhart C. Porter and Mrs. Porter, with Dr. Hugh Terry Van Patter. son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Stanley Van Patter. West- mount, Que. Rev'd. T. H. B. Som- ers, M.A., S.T.M., officiated at the ceremony. The wedding music was played by Miss E. Lillian Macxenzie, Mus. Bac., and the Kirk Choir sang the bridal an- thems. Standards of while glad- iolii and peonies were arranged in the chancel. The bride was given in marriage by Mr. W. R. Oruiokshan-k and at- icnded by Miss Jean Van Patter and Miss Francis S. Rogers. The groomsman was Dr. Douglas M. Van Potter and the ushers, Dr. T. C. Todd, Dr. M. N. Beck and Mr. R. B. Smith. Miss Porter's silk net gown had I jacket of imported. French lace. buttoning up the front into I rolled V collar, and the long sleeves ended in points over her hands. Her fingertip veil of silk not was held by a Juliette cap of matching French lace. She car- ried a shower bouquet of white snapdragon and carnations. The maid of honor and brides- maid were dressed in matching pale blue organdic over pc-riwintkle blue taffeta gowns cut on Princess lines with boleros buttoned up the front to form French roll collars. Their headdresccs were wreaths of illusion finishing in Harlequin veils in matching blue. They carried bouquets of ox-eye daisies. For her daughter's wedding Mrs. Porter wore a pale blue sheer afternoon dress with lace applique, white Milan straw hat, navy blue accessories and a Corsage of yel- low roses. Mrs. Van Paiicr wore a navy blue and white cm-bosscd after- noon drcss with fl c pleated shawl collar, white straw hat, white ac- cessorios and American Beauty corsage.

They predict it'll be a different story in the general election maybe two or three years hence. Right now, they admit, the Government is unpopular both because of measures it has taken to contain inflation-such as credit restrictions and higher taxes- and because it has refused to go even further and implement price controls. If the Government succeeds in halting inflation with present pol- icies-as it,expecte to do--Liberal politicians believe that many of the votes which went to the P.C.'s and which probably will go to the P.C.'s in any further by-elections this year. will swing back into the Liberal column.
