SEPTEMBER, 1943 “My Father Worketh Hitherto And I Work". In Luke 21: 37, we read that Jesus spent His last days on earth teaching in the temple by day and retiring to the mount of Olives at night for spiritual renewal. So Jesus in the little time left Him went on with H.s work, teaching “as though He were to live forever” there in Jerusalem, faithful to His appointed task and conforming to the immemorial habit of life; labor and rest. This is the nobler pattern into which the incidents and arguments of His last days fit themselves. He was about His Father’s work, he had begun it in the temple and there He would finish it — framed by the days — between mornings and nights. The controversies were fugitive, His high courage and devotion are our continuing example. In our own times of uncertainty we do best in our appointed places, doing our own proper work continuing the habit of life, labor and rest. “O Son of Man, thou madest known Through quiet work in shop and home, The sacredness of common things, The chance of life that each day brings, Thou Masterworkman, grant us grace The challenge of our tasks to face; By loyal scorn of second best, By effort true, to meet each test.”--------------□_----------BOARD OF HOME MISSIONS, The United Church of Canada Wesley Buildings, 299 Queen Street West, Toronto 2, Ont.
