From the Minister's Study What fear brings to mind By Don Vair, Belgrave If I were to ask you to put in writing what comes to your mind at the mention of the word FEAR, I wonder what you would say? You might begin with a dictionary explanation of fear; and then proceed to describe specific things; people, issues, or situations that strike fear into your heart. You also may state there is good fear and bad fear and you would be right. Would you think to discuss a different kind of fear; the fear of God? I have specifically started out with the kind of fear that most of us think of when the word is mentioned, to differentiate between the two. By far the most characteristic use of fear in the Bible when associated with God, is a reverential awe of God. It is an attitude of profound bituaries WILLIAM A BENNETT William Alexander Bennett of Gorrie, passed away on June8, 1993 at Listowel Memorial Hospi- tal, in his 72nd year. Mr. Bennett was the beloved hus- band of Greta Hyndman. Loving father of Ronald and Barbara Ben- nett of Gorrie, Roland and Donna Bennett of Seaforth, Dawna and Paul Voll of Gowanstown, Mar- garet and Gerald Brewer of Gorrie and Kathleen and Harry Bulmer of Teeswater. Loving grandfather of 17. Dear brother of Bruce and Dorothy Ben- nett of Gorrie. Funeral services were held at St.Stephens Anglican Church,Gor- rie on June 11. Interment was at Gorrie Cemetery. Pallbearers were Robert Bennett, Vincent Brewer, Jason Brewer, Matthew Brewer, Peter Dinsmore and Bradley Galbraith. Flower bearers were Rhonda Bennett, Peggy Voll, Pamela Ben- nett and Valerie Brewer. In remembrance donations were made to the St.Stephens Anglican Church in Gorrie. Arrangements were entrusted to Betts Funeral Home. respect, and overwhelming sense of wonder. For those who truly love God it is sad and easy to see that as we have departed individually and as a nation from the Bible, so comes the corresponding lack of reverence and awe of almighty God. This lack of fear can be seen in government and tragically within the organized church, amongst those who propound doctrines that are in direct opposition to God's clear pronouncements found within His divinely inspired Word. It would seem that these so called servants of God do not even possess the first kind of fear in relation to God. The fear of God is in fact a definition of true religion in the Old Testament. Job 28: 28 says "And unto man He said, behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding." Psalm 111: 10 says "The fear of THOMAS W COLE A Sarnia resident formerly of Blyth, Thomas W. Cole, passed away on June 8, 1993 at Sarnia General Hospital. Mr. Cole was born in Stratford 75 years ago. He is predeceased by his wife, Phyllis M. (Wearne). He will be sadly missed by his son Gerald and wife Nicole Cole of Sarnia. Also missed by one grand- daughter, Michele Forbes and one great-granddaughter, Sarah Forbes. Mr. Cole is survived by one sister Mildred (Mrs. William Blake) of Walton. Predeceased by sister Irene Cole and brother Milne (Doc) Cole. Mr. Cole served in the Elgin Regiment in World War II. He had been employed by How- son & Howson Feed Mills, Radford Construction and in later years by Campbell Transport. Funeral services were held at the Tasker Chapel of the Beattie-Fal- coner Funeral Home in Blyth at on June 10. Rev. Lorenzo Ramirez officiated. Interment was at the Blyth Union Cemetery.

JOHN WILLIAM HAVERFIELD John William (Bill) Haverfield of Fordwich passed away suddenly on Saturday, June 12, 1993 at Listowel Memorial Hospital in his 71st year. He was the beloved hsuband of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, a good understanding have all they that do His commandments; His praise endureth forever." Deuteronomy 10: 12 says "And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul." When you believe in God with all your heart and specifically according to the scriptures, then your belief in and awe of God touches virtually all areas of your life. What a different world it would be if our leaders really feared God. How different our own worlds would be if we as individuals loved and feared God. Do you truly fear God? Think about it. Phyllis Haverfield and the loving father of Janet and David Smith, Cambridge, John and Joyce Bolan- der, Fordwich and Don and Marj Bolander of Wroxeter.
