work of a church in a "changing” community, to aid a health care resource and advocacy project for people whose health care problems stem from racial discrimination, or to provide educational support of young minority children so they can ' develop an early positive selfimage. The development of antiracist educational resources, especially of history textbooks, is still another avenue through which the struggle against racism can happen. Examples of projects from other countries which may receive support are aid to families of South African political prisoners, assistance to women of Zimbabwe whose lives have been disrupted by war and a comprehensive program of training for Bolivian women seeking to overcome the centuries-old effects of racism. Aid might go to a project like one that now empowers the Mapuches of Chile to reverse the effects of racism. Support could go to improve the situation of Koreans in Japan. The service for the Quite Day "Open Our Eyes, Our Ears and Our Hearts" was written by Mary Lou Santillan Baert. The service supports equality and justice for all and invites Christians as a community of loving people to deepen their trust, respect and love for all peop e.

J JF f i g WORKING PASTOR AND HELPER — Rev. Harlan Steffen, who is also a real estate broker, gets some help from his secretary. Karen Stiver. She types not only real estate correspondence, but does church bulletins and related material when necessary.

The reverend realtor, a working minister

Being a dedicated pastor and also having a secular job can be very demanding and require a lot of scheduling, as Harlan Steffen, pastor at Wawasee Chapel, is aware. Rev. Steffen has been a pastor for 26 years, 17 of those at Wawasee Chapel. He is also a very busy real estate broker with Miller Brothers Realty. Syracuse. In one way or another. Rev. Steffen has always worked at other things along with being a pastor. He used his experience as a mason, gained as a child, to help get through college and spent about two years driving a gas truck on the side for a company in Millen >urg when he first began his vocation in this area Then one day Joe Todd asked him if he had ever considered going into real estate. Although he had never given -thought to it previously, he decided it might co-ordinate very well Rev. Steffen says "Not every church could accept a working pastor like myself We have found a very good blend, it’s worked out very’ good.' ’ A big plus is the flexible hours, with no time clock, because Rev. Steffen says he is able to work things out so there is no conflict between the two jobs and can often mix the two, working out

things like visiting someone in the hospital while attending to real estate business in one trip. He says only a very few people don't like a minister with a secular job. Most people realize that it is an opportunity to have a better understanding of the professional world and its problems. Rev. Steffen says “I thrive on being busy and active and the challenges.” He also commented that he finds a lot of material for his sermon preparation "in the marketplace.” A lot of budgeting of time is necessary and Rev. Steffen says reading and study are put into his schedule each week just as regular appointments are written in his calendar. However busy his schedule. Rev. Steffen will always find time to counsel someone in need and he feels it's of utmost importance to make time for the needs of his family. Along with all of this, he still finds time to refresh himself by enjoying the activities of golf and tennis. We need religion for religion’s sake, morality for morality’s sake. art for art’s sake. — Victor Cousin

By G. EDWARD GEANS Minister In 1978, the ski industry was doing 812 million dollars in retail sales. Based on this data, SMART (Sports Marketing and Retail Technology) predicted that industry sales during the coming winter would exceed one billion dollars. Talk about a gold rush! Everyone seemed to get in the act. Skis were manufactured and marketed like they were going out of style. Retailers stocked their shelves with gloves, caps, scarfs, boots and an endless array of the latest in ski fashions. Guess what happened! 1979 arrived, but the snow didn’t! While the midwest had plenty of snow, most ski lodges stood high and dry. Nothing sold. Everything from caps to boots just collected dust. The industry

■zfeoTji W// fluV “ J/kWilli 'i I 1 /1 1 PSil nl''iir’sF > Quality entertainment begins with a demand for it The battle over immorality on television continues to rage, and the problem of what to do about it remains unsolved. Os course, when we encounter a program that we find offensive, we can protest to the station and the sponsors. This is our right as citizens of a free land, along with the options of changing the channel or turning off the set. However, there is also a more constructive long-range solution: to give our children the proper training in the home and the Sunday school, and to persuade everyone we know to keep religion in their lives. People have a right to see whatever they want, and a widespread resurgence of faith and wholesome thinking should provide at least a reasonable choice among the types of home entertainment available for you and your family.

took a nose dive that would have made even the steepest ski slope look horizontal. The well-laid plans and predictions of the experts met with miserable failure. The high-sounding expectations were shattered by the absence of something so simple as a snow flake. One thing is cartain. The future is never certain. Not a day passes without a reminder that our plans may be here today, but spoiled tomorrow. Life simply does not always go according to our expectations. In November of 1975, the huge freighter Edmond Fitzgerald sank in the frigid waters of Lake Superior during a violent storm. Only a week before the tragedy, the chief steward Robert Rafferty sent a note to his wife in Toledo, Ohio. He wrote, “I may be home by November 8.

However, nothing is ever sure.” His words were quoted in the Detroit Free Press in an article listing the names of the 28 other crew members who lost their lives in the disaster. All our plans, whether they concern something as casual as a skiing trip or as critical as a lifelong goal, need to be committed to Christ in faith. "Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow, we shall go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a protit.’ Yet you do not t know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just like a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and also do this or that” (James 4:13-15).
