Shouldn’t we care?
BY REV. LORENZO RAMIREZ
BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
“What is man that thou art
mindful of him and the son of man
that thou dost care for him’’ Psalm
8: 4.
Last week, as I was driving home
from visiting parishioners in Lon
don hospitals, the day could not
have been any better if I had
ordered one, especially being the
last full day of summer. The sun
was bright and warm; some trees
already turning colours. All the
country along number 4 highway
denotes a bountiful harvest. Apple
orchards were laden heavily with
fruits. Dark large butternut squash
and large orange pumpkins were
scattered on the fields. The com
stalks are high and beans are ready
for the combine. Into my mind a
flash of many farmer friends with
happy and grateful faces came, for
once again God’s providential
grace came through. And I said
audibly in awe: “How marvelous
you are O God!” But why? Then
this verse came to mind. “What is
man that thou art mindful of him
and the sons of man that thou dost
care for him?”
I was in this state of bliss when I
turned on the radio in the car. And
the news about hurricane Hugo
Maitland Presbyterial women
attend WMS conference
Two bus loads of ladies from the
Maitland Presbyterial Women’s
Missionary Society enjoyed a trip to
Crieff Hills, south of Guelph and
west of Puslinch on Monday, Sept.
11.
Crieff Hills is owned and operat
ed by the Presbyterian Church in
Canada as a retreat and conference
centre for the church under the
directorship of Rev. Robert Specer.
Following a conducted tour of the
property, luncheon was served in
McLean Hall and Mrs. Maureen
Spencer told about the facilities.
There are six different buildings to
house guests so they can accom
modate up to eighty people or
smaller groups of 12 to 20. Any
church group is welcome. They are
hoping to build a large conference
building and are presently going
through the O.M.B.
Isabel Thompson, Agnes Breg-
man, and Helen Elliott conducted a
workshop on the study books to be
used in the coming year - one about
the Philippines and the other on
Islam. Erlma Haldenby presented a
Bible Study and Worship service on
the theme “Go and Tell’’.
This day of enlightening, both in
the introduction of the program
books and the viewing of this
conference centre, enabled each of
the members to return home better
equipped for the coming year.
was on. One big hurricane that
devasted Puerto Rico, St. Croix
and many other islands in the
Carribean along its path and was
now heading towards Georgia and
the Carolinas.
Next morning as I anxiously
watched and listened to the news,
it told of what took place overnight.
While people were able to manage
.to brace their homes and take extra
precaution in preparation for
Hugo’s bluster, it was still a great
calamity. Thousands were left
homeless and with much wreckage
to clean up. Hundreds were hurt
and some lost their lives. Yet in
spite of all this seemingly unprece
dented damage it could have been
worse, so much worse. Thanks to
the aid of modern media commun
ication, people can prepare.
“What is man that thou art
mindful of him and the son of man
that thou care for him?’’
Sometimes, it takes a natural
disaster or calamity like this for
man to care or even just think about
his or her fellow human beings.
If God does care for us so much
so that He placed all things on
earth and in the universe that we
need for our continual existence,
shouldn’t we, as a human race care
for each other and all of his
creation.
It says in this Psalm that God has
given us dominion over all his
creation both above and below. Are
we mindful of God’s creation as he
is mindful of us?
Shouldn’t we care?
