CAPE ARGUS - 1939,
January 28
Lines from
Sunday's Service
“We are told
that when the soldiers came to take Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, Peter
drew his sword and wounded the servant of the High Priest. Here we have an
instance of an outsider being wounded by a follower of Christ. Is not the same
done today? By our actions and words, we often wound the outsider. The greatest
force in India today, Gandhi, might have been a Christian if it was not for the
way he was treated by supposed Christians when he visited this country some
years ago. There are many people outside the Christian Church today who should
be inside, because they have been put off and disgusted by the lives lived by
so-called Christians.” – The Rev. Norman H. Pike, Methodist Minister,
Woodstock.
