ROBERT GORDON
JOHNSTON
Robert Gordon Johnston of
Clinton died on Friday, Feb. 23,
1996. He was 80.
Born in Hullett Twp. on Jan. 11,
1916, he was the son of the late
Charles and Sarah (Radford)
Johnston. He was married to the
former Emma Pushelburg.
Mr. Johnston was a retired
farmer and labourer from Hullett
Twp. He was a member of
Londesboro United Church.
Along with his wife Emma, Mr.
Johnston is survived by his
children, Helen and Jack McLeod
bank. She explained that people
who have a tragedy, new baby, etc.
will be given a frozen casserole,
donated by volunteers, who will
give them out at the appropriate
time; as an outreach to the
community.
Kevin Falconer read the Old
Testament Lesson I:rom Genesis
and the New Testament from
Romans. Rev. Hultley gave the
gospel reading from Matthew.
"The Greatest Sin" was the
sermon topic.
"What is the greatest sin?" Rev.
Huntley asked. For some ministers
it is a favourite subject. There are
various arguments and great
debates about it. We believe the
Bible points to adultery.
"We have seen how Jesus faced
and dealt with the temptation of
of Thedford, Nancy and Elwin
Good of RR 3, Auburn, Jim and
Rosemary Johnston of Londesboro
and Donna and Walter Oliver of
RR 1, Londesboro. He is also
survived by 16 grandchildren and
12 great-grandchildren.
Mr. Johnston was predeceased by
one son, Charles and his wife
Barbara Johnston, and by five
sisters and two brothers.
Pastor Don Vair was speaker at
Brussels Mennonite Fellowship on
Sunday, Feb. 25. He spoke on
"Consecration".
Mr. Vair made reference to Mary
pouring a whole bottle of expensive
perfume on Jesus' feet and
compared it to lives today. For
genuine conversion, people need
total devotion to Jesus. They live in
a day of religious experiences
without genuine conversion, he
said.
In fact, some who lead others to
Christ are not genuine Christians
themselves. With true conversion
we leave the management of our
lives up to God. The longer you
live in God's life the more you
sin. The strongest temptation we
have is to serve other Gods.
Materialism, sex, power, the list
goes on. There is only one God
worthy of our worship. Why?
Because we were worthy enough to
die for and He would not have gone
to the cross if it were otherwise.
He said, "Today people are
looking to spirituality more than
ever. Our Health Care System
recognizes spiritual needs are very
important in total health module."
Following the sermon, induction
ceremony took place. New elders
inducted were Shirley Fyfe, Fred
Meier Sr. and Jim Wilson while
stewards were Earl Fyfe and
Warren Moore.
Closing hymn was, And Can it
Be That I Should Gain.
In the hospital are Stella
A funeral service was held at the

United Church officiating.

Cemetery.

and Stroke Foundation or the
charity of one's choice would be

know what pleases God and what
doesn't. We are unable to uplift
ourselves; God uplifts us. True
consecration makes life glorious,"
he said.
Jesus walks in the halls of
present day hospitals or on the
main street in Brussels. He does it
through Christians, by his spirit in
them.
"He wants our consecration more
than our money, or our services.
Just as Mary poured out the whole
bottle of perfume on Jesus feet,
may we do that with our lives."
Mark Hiller was worship leader
and Kathy Procter was pianist.
Joanna Steinman played the piano
for the offertory.
