I I I I I I I I Following union 1861, Mr. Ross was depressed, He felt that, unnoticed, a leephole had appeared in the coristitlition concerning the Headship Of Christ over the Nations, that for which the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, had broken from the Established. Church. * In these years the conversational Method of handling the scriptures passed from an occasional to almost a continual thing with him. Oneday while preparing for a train journey, he looked up aword and read, "Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of Man be ashamed when .He eometh in the glory of his Father with the holy engels." He debated this text and asked himself if he would be ashamed to enter the car in Christ's company, From that day began his wayside reading of the Word of God. Many a straight message fell from the skies into ears that could not choose. but listen and sometimes into hearts that answered, "I will arise and go to my Father." He walked through the world with his bible in his hand ready to give the King's Message in the King's name wherever a hearing ear was to be found. Once in Toronto he noted the folly of those around a circus tent. • The crowd, when he opened his Bible and read, showed a spirit of opposition, and with sneers, ridicule and profanity began to push him out. He handed his new. silk hat, which had cost $7.00, to a friend and turning his back continued to read so that he was in the midst instead of being on the outskirts. At a women's gathering Mr. Ross and his peculiar method of reading out Bible words came ender discussion. Adverse criticism was voiced, one saying it was the supreme height of folly until one woman said, "You'd better not call that folly. My servant was in the crowd that day and one of the texts read took such a hold on her that she has been a different girl ever since." On a journey to Clinton he saw a group of workmen repairing the road, jumped out of the buggy, approached and read them a passage from the Bible. One by one the strangers' caps came off and they listened in silence. He gave a brief exposition of the passage. When he rejoined his companion, Mr. Ross said, "I liked that. These men showed reverence for the word. I wish all the people had a similar spirit." Mr. Ross's temper would rise if men continued to swear after being reproved. A friend said, "I have seen him listening to insulting words to himself without the stirring of temper. He would smile with happy countenance upon those who were disrespectful as if it did not hurt him at all. But if men would take the name of God in vain, his quickness of feeling carried him sometimes, I believe, futther than his judgment afterwards would approve. A railway conductor swore in his presence. Mr. Ross quoted the third commandment. Caught in the act, the guilty man let loose a volume of abuse and profanity. Mr. Ross answered it with quotations from the Bible. He was sitting near the door and put his hand on the door jam to speak to the enraged man, but he pushed on, slammed the door and injured' two of Mr. Ross's fingers. Sometimes it was with a gentle word such as, "You •and I owe too much to Jesus Christ to spread ill of him" that he stilled a blasphemer's tongue and parted good friends. As a young man Mr. Ross did not use tobacco but in the early, days of his ministry, lonely and depressed, he found comfort in smoking a pipe. He became a'slave to the habit. One day when contemplating Rev. 14 verse 6, "I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach onto them that dwell on the earth and to many nations, kindreds, and peoples." He suddenly thought, "How would I look in such exalted company and on such a mission with my cutty pipe in my mouth". The picture was so incongruous and grotesque that he threw the pipe against the wall, smashing it to atoms. He never smoked again. But he knew the ,power oe temptation so • he searched.through every pocket, drawer And shelf and .put allefragments of,tobacco, into the tire. As the days 'drew on the craving for hisliipe became intolerable. He searched everywhere for some tobacco he might have missed. He came across some red pepper pods in doing so. Anything seemed better than nothing so he cut them up and put them in another pipe. How many puffs it took to cure the habit before his sister threw her windows up as high as they would go, and her excited voice calling, "John, John what in the world is the matter?" is not recorded. There was another and a simpler form of service to which Mr. Ross felt himself continually called during the last 20 years of his life. This was the delivery of messages dictated, not by his own intelligence but by spepial direction from an unseen Lord. "Christ has need of messengers that are willing to be made foOls of for His sake," said Mr. Ross in speaking,on the subject. "Though men may sneer, all I need to keow is that the Lord has given me a text and shown me to whom it is to be given, and my business is to give that text and let Him work out the consequences." "It would be plainly impossible for any man at will to use the Bible in this way. But those who believe in the special providence taught by Jesus Christ cannot fail to see how easy and natural the whole thing becomes if God so chooses to lead any 'of his people. That he did so lead Mr. Ross in multitudes of cases even opposers were often compelled to acknowledge, hut those who knew him best were best assured of the fact." "He who takes guidance from God's eye is sure to have close access to his ear. Mr. Ross was pre-eminently a man of prayer." Often in his private devotions lapsing into his native Gaelic tongue! One Sabbath, a few years before his death he created considerable excitement by announcing from the pulpit that death — sudden death — was hovering over the community. He could not tell where it would strike but warned them to be Making ready for eternity. A few days later a young man in the neighbourhood was crushed by a falling tree. 'The Clinton CrosstrailerS Square Dance Club got off to a real geOfi start last Wednesday night; $efiternher 23. Eager'to get, back into the eyeing Arid sway of their favourite recreation, three squares plus arrived to participate in the fun This, year has several new treats in store. firstly, there is a new caller, secondly, a new location, and thirdly, good prospects of increasing membership front our own total community, as well es our neighbouring towns and villages. Glenn Pettersoe, of Goderich, will be teaching new basics as well as calling the old favourites. The club is pleased to welcome Glenn and his wife Doris into our club this year. The Clinton Public School will be the drop-in centre for this dancing season, which is from mid September to mid May. - COlds and more illnesses account` for more than one-third of all days loit from work and approximately: two-thirds of school .absenses attributed to sickness, 'according to the drug industry's Council on Family Health In Canada. A survey also revealed colds cost: Canada an estimated half-billion dollars annually in lost Wages; lost production and. medical expenses. The Council, a public service organization working to encourage family health and safety, says the common cold is so eommon a person with average good health can expect to be bothered by three or four cold& a year. How can we fight the cold war? Common sense is the best way to treat a cold because no real cure has yet been found through' years of extensive research by medical scientists, says the Council. Bert Grey, PrinciPal ,the School, visited on the first night. He expressed his pleasure on having the members dancing In Clinton again, and hePerl they would have a successful Year. The first night was attended by couples from Seaforth, Goderich, Bayfielcl, Varna, Londesboro, as well as. Clinton end the rural areas. It is early in the autumn season and the club is sure as the fall work gets finished, more couples will still be back with us. Lunch, including a birthday cake for one of the male members, and a social half hew, completed a fun filled evening, There are many who have taken some modern square dance elasses in the area. The club wishes to invite them to come back and pick it up again. The club meets from 8:30 to 11 p.m. each Wednesday at Clinton Public School, It suggests these common sense tips: ▪ Treat a cold when it starts to prevent it from becoming more serious. Get plenty of rest and sleep. Take medication for the relief of sniffles and discomfort with lots of fluids. • Fresh colds are more contagious than older ones. Stay out of direct contact with people coming down with cold symptoms. If you have a fresh cold, respect others by covering coughs and sneezes. Wash your hands frequently and do not mix your drinking glass, towel and other personal items with those of other members of your family. Children have more colds than adults and are thus major cold-spreaders. Keep infected children indoors and do not let them visit their neighborhood chums until all cold symptoms have ended. .. Studies show we have more colds during the winter heating. Miss Ann IVI cicibbon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John P. McKibbon of Chatham, formerly, of Clinton, graduated September 10 from Wellesley Hospital Sehoel of Nursing in Toronto. Miss McKibbon graduated from Central Huron Secondary School in 1967, -She is now enrolled at the University of Alberta in Edmonton where she is studying for her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. season. Lowered humidity in heated rooms causes dry nose 'and throat, which makes us more susceptible to colds. The nose, throat and lungs work best when the air has a relative humidity or moisture content of 45 percent. Purchase a humidifier, if your home or apartment is dry, or place pans of water on radiators to supply moisture for the air. ... The disease we know as a cold is believed to be produced by as many as 100 different viruses. They show up in a variety of symptoms ranging from a minor sniffle and stuffed nose to a disabling illness similar to influenza. If your cold seems to last too long or your symptoms suggest an illness more serious than a cold, see your doctor. A little cold can be a big nuisance, but it should never be dismissed lightly, warns the Council.
