The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

To much greater extent than we
often realize we are slaves of our own
habits and customs. Almost un-
knowingly we follow a routine life
shaped by tools and impressions, and
before we know it we are not living
as we want to but as others want
us to. Or perhaps as the weaker part
of ourselves wants to. To live the
life we should is constant struggle
against difficulties, and we can SO
easily grow lax in the struggle.
This dawns upon us when we are
torn out of our habitual life, for
instance when we 60 camping and
leave civilization behind. Radio pro-
grams, ball games, comic sections
the way you want your oatmeal
cooked, the bridge parties and coffee
gossips, all fade into blissful insig-
nifcance. And hometown sensa-
tions, murder headlines, politics
movie news and all that, pass unre-
grettedly into oblivion. We feel much
better when relieved of their DOM
nance.
What do we then learn from this?
First of all, that many of the things
that dominate our lives and which
we deem essential to our existence
are but trivial and insignificant. Not
only can we easily live without them
we really live better lives without
them. They give us only fighting
sensation of pleasure, and they deader
our senses and leave us unable to ap-
preciate the deeper things.
Secondly, that the dominance of the
small things is easily established
No sooner do we come home, than
they begin to assert themselves. And
unless we are carefully on guard
they will become our lords again
How often do they not rule? How
often do not a bit of laziness or a
gaudy Sunday paper prevent us from
going to church? How often does
not selfish habit prevent us from
doing good?
To live right is an everlasting
struggle against the dominance OF
little things.

Return From Europe.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. Henriksen re-
turned home Sunday from tour
which took them to several coun-

at Minneapolis and purchased fine
