R.R.Monkton, Ont. 347-2636 12 - THE BRUSSELS POST, OCTOBER 10, 1979 arvest fruits at Belgrave church Knox United Church was artistically decorated for its Thanksgiving service. Many varieties of vege- tables and fruits of harvest adorned the communion table. Baskets of multi- coloured flowers added to the display of God's bountiful gifts, The work of art was arranged by Mrs. Glen Coultes and Mrs. George Johnston. Mrs. George Procter, organist, accompanied the anthem "0 Give Thanks." Rev. John G. Roberts used a diagram to illustrate the teaching of two parables - The Prodigal Son and the Labourers In The Vineyard. Contrast is shown in each of the lessons. The first parable mentions the man who stayed home and worked, while the broth- er wasted his substance. The second parable shows the contrast between the day-long workers and the one-hour employees. Both stories are told by Jesus to bring out one single point - God's generosity. The focus is on God in each instance, not the two men or the labourers. By means of his diagram, the Minister illustrated that. God is at the top, man at the bottom. Two men, one good, one bad progress upward; but there is always a barrier between God and man. Man is never static, always searching for good or bad, rich or poor, always on r pilgrimage to God or a self- created ideal. God can reach man, but a gap separated man from God. Man's equipment consists of time, energy, disposition and substance. There is a human dilemma which must be bridged. The good may purchase granite blocks and steel beams for his bridge in the form of goodness, friends etc. The bad buys poor equipment. Still there is no bridge across the barrier to God. Is the Good any better off than the Bad? St. Paul queries "Shall sin abound that grace may more abound?" The answer lies in the solidarity of human nat- ure. We must recognize that man is never alone. He is always in company with God. The first man will have attractive followers, will cross his bridge with friends. Not so with the second; he has been too biased, critical, has a poor bridge and no followers. Realize that God is a generous Father to all, as we The W.M.S. held their Thankoffering meeting at the home of Mrs. Joe Dunbar with Mrs. Garner. Nicholson presiding.
