for what does the Lord require of us all but to "seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly with our God" (Micah 6:8).
REMARKS BY FRED SCHNARR TO THE CORPORATION OF THE GENERAL CHURCH, 1970
"And here we come upon that urgent and Nach ost single reason for the existence of New Church schools. The Doctrines Good Looking Stripped Singers and the Truths of the Lord's Second Coming and the Scriptures upon which they rest are the most important and useful treasures that we can possibly give to our children. This has been the belief of the General Church from the beginning. It has been our reason for establishing schools in the present, and let us hope it is our reason for establishing schools in the future. As the states of the world deteriorate from the fall of the Christian Church, as the essential truths of religious life are denied and rejected, the spirits of confusion and disorder invade and pressure the new generation. The need and urgency of New Church schools increases with every passing year as something of a necessary means to provide that there shall be with men the enlightenment of the New Christian Religion. There must be knowledge upon knowledge, generals and particulars of Truths and Doctrines from the Writings that are clear and that are certain, well understood and digested; that there may be something of greater intelligence and wisdom from heaven with a new generation. Intelligence, enlightenment and wisdom do not come from mere good intention nor from the inclination and sentiment of natural charity. They begin from and upon knowledge of the Lord and His Word and without such knowledge they do not and they cannot exist;
183
and this is why we have New Church schools, why we must continue to have them, no matter what the struggle, the effort and the sacrifice that we bring to them."

(TRUTH IN BALANCE)
Charter Day Address, October 2004
"Water, water everywhere, nor any a drop to drink." Those famous words, based on a line from Coleridge's poem, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," present a picture of a man in the middle of the ocean, an ocean of water, who is nevertheless parched with thirst!
In the grand scheme of the planet, the ocean actually contributes to the balance of fresh water that is necessary to human life. But the Ancient Mariner's plight illustrates a theme we will be developing in this talk: namely, that water needs to be in the right form and in the right balance with other elements in order to serve its uses - especially in the human body.
Water is virtually the most important element in our physical life. Water literally bathes our planet! It is the chief means of communication-not only of its own life-giving properties, but of other nutrients. It carries these nutrients in streams and rivers and ocean currents, in the settling dew, in the rain, and in the cloud droplets that are borne to all corners of the earth on the wings of the wind. As these waters of the earth carry nutrients, they also moderate the earth's extremes of temperature. They bring coolness to hot areas, and warmth to cold areas. Water is also the great solvent and neutralizer. It dissolves and carries away all sorts of wastes-diluting toxins as it goes, constantly restoring the "pH" of things to life-friendly proportions.
Water does similar things within the human body. Water accounts for between 60 and 80% of a person's body weight. A 150 lb person contains about 10 gallons! Water transports nutrients around our body through the blood and lymphatic system, and it does the same on a smaller scale within each cell.
185
It provides for regulation of our body temperature (both warming and cooling). It carries away wastes and neutralizes toxins.
Water facilitates these "uses" by serving as a medium in which elements are dissolved-proteins, sugars, and carbohydrates, for example, which serve as fuel and building materials. Especially important is the ability of water to dissolve salts into ions or charged particles. The interaction of these ions between cells literally makes for electricity! Without this "battery" in us we'd have no nerve-action, no muscle contraction, no metabolism, no hormonal communication, no life!
In order for water to serve these uses the body needs to maintain a delicate balance. Getting and maintaining enough water is obviously important. But the body must also make sure that the water is in the right places, in the right proportions. There are three places that fluids need to be: 1) in our individual cells (that's where about 7 of our 10 gal. of "total body water" is; 2) in our blood (about 1 gal.); and 3) in the inter-spaces around the organs and between cells (the remaining 2 gal.). The body maintains these ratios. What's more, the body needs to make sure that there is the right kind of water in these places. In order to serve as a battery, for example, the water in the cells needs to have a high concentration of Potassium ions, and the water outside the cells and in the blood needs to have a high concentration of Sodium ions. All this needs to be most carefully regulated. If not, we die!
The stories we read from the Word this morning were all about fluid balance. First we read the vision from Ezekiel-of the fresh water pouring out of the temple in Jerusalem, and flowing down through the parched Jordan valley and into Dead Sea (almost 4000 ft below-the lowest spot on earth!). As you know, the Dead Sea is "dead" because of its incredibly high concentration of salt. It is an example of water out of balance. Salt has been collecting in the oceans for eons, but there it is circulated and diluted by many sources of fresh water.
186
The Dead Sea has no outlet. And the hot, dry climate in that deep trench in the earth guarantees that evaporation will keep any sources of fresh water from ever changing the balance for the better. But in our vision Ezekiel sees that Dead Sea restored to life by the constant, strong flow of water gushing from the Lord's temple. His angel guide tells him:
It shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there. And they will be healed. . . . And it shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim [villages on the banks of the Dead Sea]; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many. (47.910)
This would have been striking for Ezekiel to hear. He knew that any fish that had ever been carried by the Jordan into the Dead Sea had died in minutes. Nothing lived in those waters!
