Our whole emphasis in Western culture. as well as throughout the world. is to es- cape from the miseries which ac- company want apt! privation. What then does Jesus mean when He says. “Happy are the poor in spirit." Does He want us to give up all worldly wealth becpme poor monks, as Christians did in the dark middle ages. If this_ is what (By Rev. Calvin Chamber!) "gitâ€"'Eliifi'stethS of any stoék rkeL he great tragedy is that there many people who think they v in goods, and have need of thing, and do not know that ey are wretched, miserable, or blind and naked." There are any people in the world today e this. They need to discover ' truth expressed by the hymn ter: Nothing in my hand I bring, imply to Thy cross I cling. n doing this, the door of God's gdom would be flung wide n-to them. They would be re- ved not as beggars, but as 1dren returning to a Father's se. They would have the joy wearing a new robe, and ring sonship. The fatted calf would killed and there would be joy d merriment. Poverty of spirit turned into unearned wealth, en life is lived under the rules the King of The Earth. 2 rich, and yet are poverty icken, John speaks of members the Church at Laodecea, as se “who are rich and incl-gas: ichmond Heights Plaza Levendale Rd.

In Constantine the police insisted that we camp directly opposite the central police station. They laid on water and toilets for us and set an armed guard over our camp,rand when we left we had an armed escort. There-had been firing every night of our brief stay but during the daylight hours everything was under control, with soldiers and police continuously patrolling the town in armoured trucks. At that time and still today a total of half-a-million French soldiers are tied down in Algeria to contain the nation- alist revolt. We saw the French frequently stopping Arab citi- zens and searching them for arms, home-made bombs, etc. French policewomen would stop Arab women in the streets and would search carefully through their voluminous clothing for hidden weapons. Women and children are equal participants with the men in the revolt. At one town-we visited, a youth had ridden up to a restaurant patronized by French settlers, had propped his bicycle against the entrance and fled. The cycle carried a time bomb which exploded a few moments later to kill 42 of the people in the restaurant. But demonstrating the fact that the hatred of the natives was reserved for the French alone. on this occasion an American who happened to be in the restaurant at the time was advised by another Arab to “get out quickly and don’t stop to ask questions.” The American followed this advice with the result he lived to tell the tale. This further convinced us that the extensive precautions the French were taking on our own behalf were not necessary â€" but there was no persuading them and so we could but surrender to their control. FOLLOWING OUR ADVENTUROUS ARRIVAL AS RELATED IN OUR LAST COLUMN. at the’ Fort of Our police escort took us to Aid Balda, a distance of about 200 miles. Police motorcycle patrols went ahead and came along in our rear. A visiting monarch or ambassador could not have been taken more care of.

Unfortunately for me, this convoy was about to leave within half-an-hour of our arrival and I was therefore robbed of any opportunity to relax and rest betWeen journeys. The family fared better because they could sleep in the house trailer while we were on the move. How tiring it was can be imagined when it .is remembered that few of the roads were paved. That the heat was intense and clouds at sand enveloped us as we travelled. While all the time we feared an attack. We felt much less secure with our escort than we would have done in the confidence of the British flag and papers we carried. We felt that if the convoy was attacked, our mere presence with the French would condemn us to a sim- ilar fate. It was a long and dusty journey through desert and moun- tain across a very bare countryside but eventually we arrived at Tebessa, a border fortress where we expected to rest for a time. But on arrival it was discovered that a unit of the French Foreign Legion were leaving within two hours, travelling east. So it was going our way and we further learned that it might (Continued on page 11) YONGE &IOXF0RD STREETS, RICHMOND HILL i , ,, Au“--- _____ SPECIAL DINNER PLATE E I i - - Menu - - : CHICKEN CHOW MEIN SWEET & SOUR RIBS FRIED RICE s 5 o TENDER BEEF WITH .
