CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT Phone 200 Wallace Ave., N. Listowel PURPOSES OF THE JavreARNA.riox Si, John 1:14- -"And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us." The expression "The Word" is a New Testament one for Christ, the Eternal •Son of God. The writer is telling us that the Second Person of the Trinity came into this world clothed in human flesh and dwelt among us. We have it in the words of the text the greatest Christian doctrine of the incarnation. Our gospels are full of the doctrine .of the clothing of the Son of God. What does the word "Incarnation" mean? Carnal means fleshly. Car- niverous means flesh-eating and carnation means a. flesh-colored flower. Incarnation is the becoming clothed in flesh, or the assumption of flesh. Two things here have to be un- derstood. First, that before assum- ing human nature, He previously existed as the Son of God. We think of the pre-existent Christ. Second, that when He assumed human na- ture He really and truly became a man, Why did the Son of God become the Son of Man? Why did He come into this world clothed in 'human flesh? Why did God become man? The New Testament gives . three answers to this question. 1,—Christ came into this world clothed in human flesh in order that He might reveal the Father. St. John 14:9 reads, "He that bath seen me ]bath seen the Father." Consider this simple yet sublime statement. The last hours of Jesus with his disciples were passing away. Philip said, Lord show us the Father and it sufficeth its. Jesus said 'He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. In ail ages people have been ask- ing, What is God like? Jesus taught the love, holiness and power of God the Father. He was• the incarna- tion of God's love, He was the vis- ible image of the invisible God tColossians 1:16), He taught new truth about God. He gave the world the Christian conception of God. Without this revelation of God we would be holding today either heathen conceptions of the Father or Jewish ones, He was the re- flection of God, the Invisible, 2.—Christ came into this world clothed in human flesh in order to seek and to save that which was lost. See St. Luke 19:10, Jesus is here defending His conduct against the Pharisees who had murmurs saying that He was 'gone to be a guest with a man that is a sinner (Zaccheaus). Replying to this crit- icism he states that the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. He came for the express purpose of saving just such a sinner as Zacchaeus. The New Testament reveals a searching Christ—one seeking the lost. How long did the woman search tor the lost coin? 'Until she found it. How long did the shepherd search for the lost sheep? Until he found it, How long did the wonderful father watch for the return of his lost 44 M140. A , i 4,4 0 0 0,0 1. son? Until he found him. How long will Christ seek the lost? Until He finds them. 3.—Christ came into this world clothed in 'human flesh in order that he might destroy the works of the devil, I John 3:18, reads: "To this end was the son of God mani- fested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." The enemy here is the devil. He is a liar, a be- trayer, the foundation head of sin, the lawless one, He is a mertlerer. He destroys life, He alienates the soul from God, He destroys the spiritual. He is a liar, extinguish- ing the truth, so that men blunder along the way. All ignorance is the result of the clouding of man's vision of God. He extinguishes love. Satan entered into the heart of Judas and made him the betrayer. All the greed you find in the world, all the jealousy and all the cruelty are the works of the devil. Let us look at what "destroy" means. It is a word that means to dissolve, to loosen, to break into a thousand pieces. It is the word used in the Acts of the Apostles when the boat that St. Paul was travel- ling oh Was wrecked in the eastern EVIediterranean. As a result of the storm the vessel was broken up, scattered and wrecked into a thous- and parts. Over 1900 years ago the Son of God came into the world clothed in human flesh, and during these years 'He has in the lives of millions destroyed the works of the devil. Give the incarnate Son of God a chance to destroy the works of the devil in your life. ,371-:;::AT....initig,i6.01.05.iihilirii,,,4 41W,- PrYZW.. -aan•-.••;arprovi -J-a. 11; ONE MOMENT PLEASE!

We just observe them, rather coldly. She's been a little cool about an.- niversaries since the time I bought the present and the card, a few years back, She'd been beefing about her paint brushes being hard to clean. On our anniversary, I gave her a lovely little package of paint brush cleaner, suitably gift wrapped, I also handed her a beautiful anni- versary card, It cost me 40 cents, and had flowers and cupids and all sorts of things on it, Only thing was that it was head- ed off: "To my darling husband, on our anniversary." I'd forgotten to read it. 0 - 0 - 0 Thbee -anniversaries -are harder to lake •than birthdays. The whole 14 years was brought graphically to the fore tonight at dinner, when I looked around, and realized that all,these people belonged to me, an were my responsibility for feed- ing, clothing and housing, among other things. Fourteen years ago, I was a young 'veteran of the •air force, full of ginger and peculiar ideas. With the aid of other young veterans and various wenches, I had been suc- cessful in getting throegh all my gratuities in a few months of high living. I was broke, free, cynical, selfish, and happy as a trout. I thought Love was something made up, by women and the movies. Marriage and children were. for the dopes.

But, even as the walls of Jericho, I tumbled. Like most young men of that age, I was just like an egg. I though I was bard-boiled, but I wasn't even half-cooked.

And a good part of the tithe we seemed to be going side- ways, In those 14 frantic years, however, I've changed a lot. My dyniciem has become merely a healthy scepticistn. I haVen't a hope of bell* selfish any more, But some things haven't changed. I'm still broke, and I'm still free, Oh, not free in the old way, mind you, I can't go out with girls any mote.

I didn't want to own anything. I didn't want to sink any roots, Since then I've collected an awesome assembly of junk, and 'my roots are so far down theylre blocking the sewers. Besides the ball-and-chain, I've ac- quired two children who eat like sharks, two mortgages, a great 'big, Old house that swallows every nickel I can raise, and enough ac- cumulated stuff to fill a• couple of warehouses. A lot of water has gene under the bridge in those fourteen years. And most of it hue ended up in my War. But theeres,plenty, on the credit side; too. We've two healthy youngsters whose daily presence is a joy in our Jives, and also a great booster of sedative sales at the, drug store. Was it worth it? Would I do it again? You're darn right I would. It's been a wonderful experience, and as we step off into the fif- teenth year, I can't help giving thanks for the gentle, lovely, stead- fast help-mate who has been by my side, ever ready with a word of en- couragement, or a slam on the ear, it that didn't work.

There has been so much written .and said in recent years about the duty of the colonial powers to free their colonies that most civilized peoples have become largely sym- pathetic toward the aspirations for freeedom which the colored people of Africa entertain. There is a general feeling that it is high time we recog- nized them as equals in the general scheme of creation, and gave them full opportunity to work out their own destiny. The complete breakdown of gov- ernmental control in the Congo, or more accurately, the vivid proof that there was in reality no govern- ment with sufficient support to com- mence control in the two-month-old nation, has created grave doubt that premature freedom is a favor to any unready nation.. Colonialism, as such, was not the outright slavery and exploitation that many .would have us believe. It was the outward expression of the march of progress—without which not one tribe on the continent of Africa would have emerged from the dank shade of its jungle haunts. White missionaries, farmers, indus- trialists and scientists were respon- sible for the advancement of know- ledge in Africa, as well as for many of the tragedies enacted there. Africa has seen not only slave traders and greedy planters. . . . it has received boundless compassion and service from the Dr. Living- stones and the Albert Schweitzers. Millions upon millions of the white man's money has been poured into the study and cure of its diseases and the education of its new born minds. Right at present the whole civil- ized world is screaming for the Bel,: glans to get out of the Congo—de- spite, the, fact that. the Congo .under„,. Belgian rule, was generally conceded to be the most progressive of all LIFE TO THE END The announcement last week of the tragic death of Reynolds Mar- sales no doubt spelled personal loss for other of his friends in this com- munity as it did for us. Though we had not met him often we had great- ly admired his way of living. Mr. Marsales was typical of a special breed of men who have found the . secret of -maintaining keen in- terest in all about .them into the years of 01(1 age. Unlike so many older people, who simply permit time to dull them off, he appeared to find each passing year held some- thing new and interesting for his attention. He had a most valuable stamp collection, to which additions were made at every opportunity. Another of his collections was made up of antique guns, one class of which had been refurbished and put in firing condition. Mr. Marsales took a great interest in attending special gatherings of other gun en- thusiasts, where they held target competitions, Perhaps one of the answers was that he had retired from business be- fore his business became his master. At a certain stage in his career he decided that making money was rlo longer necessary that he had enough for his needs, and that it was time to live fully. There are few of us who are so senSibly constituted, We are all in- clined to pack too much living -into our working years and too little into the years when life provides its first real opportunity for enjoyment. - TlitWIngharn AdvaoceiTimtA Odhlished at Wingharn, Ontario trefiget brothers, Publiehers YV, Bat* Wenget, Editot Afettibet AiYdit Bureau of Cireilletlon Atttibetited tte Second ClitSe Mail; Post °Mee Dept, lied) OriPtion Rate One Year $3.00, Sift Months $1.50 in advance.

Time after time you will find their burning desire for freedom was born, not in tribal councils among their own down-trodden brothers, but in the great Univer- sities of Europe — Cambridge, Ox- ford, Harvard, the Sorbonne. There is, of course, no denying the African's right to- self-determin- ation, but it is his unhappy desire to run before he has learned to walk, Patience and understanding in both black and white minds is the only course. Unfortunately there is not enough patience to. go around. • A LOOK BACK (Hanover Post) We pride ourselves on being a forward-looking people. We foresee a time in which life will be happier, healthier, richer and more produc- tive. We all hope that the world in which our children will live out their lives will be a better one than ours. At the same time, it is the part of wisdom to look back—if only to recall some of the words that were said long ago by men who helped make this nation. For instance, there is this : "I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and the public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence,,,we must not let our rulers load us with per- petual debt. "We must make our choice be- tween economy and liberty, or pro- fusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, we must be taxed in .our meat and drink, in our necessities and our comforts, in our labors and in our amusements. can prevent the govern= ment from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy." That was said by Thomas Jeffer- son, whose contribution to the Am- erican system of government, was, perhaps, greater than that of any other single man. The language' is archaic, but the principle is crystal clear. . We have gone a grimly long distance in violating his doctrine. The question is whether we shall have the resolution, the strength, and the wisdom to change our national way before it is too late. With cradle-to-grave security politically secured, don't be surpris- ed if next election candidates come up with pre-natal to postmortem concern for voters. TAKE PILLS IN PRIVATE (Stratford Beacon-Herald) Parents of young children often are reminded to keep drugs, med- icines and household chemicals under lock and key, or at least well out of tne reach of the small-fry. The ob- jective, of course, is to reduce the possibility of accidental poisoning. One other aspect of such accident prevention generally is overlooked. It is reported in the current issue of the Journal of the American Acad- emy of Pediatrics. In brief, parents should take their pills in private. In a study last year at the Norwalk (Connecticut) Hospital's poison centre, Dr. Alfred J, R,Xott- mans, found that sixty-seven per cent of the children who had swal- lowed potentially-poisonous, pills had watched their parents taking similar pills. Not only should med- icines be kept out of sight and reach of children, Or. Xountatis concluded, but the use of them should also be kept out of sight. In the first half of this year Alberta's poison control service re- corded 413 cases of accidental poi- soning from drugs and ?neditatioris. No one can say how many of these cases resulted from children seeing their parents taking tri&licints, but no doubt the figure is substantial, The Wit:Where, Adtentee-Tintes, Wednesday, Sept 701,1960 THE.
