From the Minister's Study
Give thanks in all circumstances, says pastor
- The night He was betrayed, Jesus
is described as "troubled in spirit"
(John 13:21).
' He was moved to compassion
(when confronted by those suffering
from diseases such as blindness or
leprosy (Matthew 20:34, Mark 1:41).
Christ responded both emotionally
and practically. But His faith in His
Heavenly Father brought Him bi1ck
to a point of lasting inner joy and
thankfulness.
The apostle Paul wrote that those
who have faith in God do not_ grieve
in the same way "as do those who
have no hope" ( I Thessalonians
4:13). We benefit from an assurance
that nothing can separate us from
God's love; no hardship, not even
death itself, can cut us off from
God's long-term commitment to us
who look to Him to accomplish His
loving purposes in our lives.

Mission in Service theme
of Maitland Presbyterial
By Pastor Ernest Dow

Fellowship
Robert Louis Stevenson said, "The
person who has stopped being thank-
ful . has fallen asleep in life."
Thanksgiving holiday is the perfect
opportunity to stop and thank God
for all the blessings we've received
in life. In Canada, the holiday was
officially instituted by Parliament on
Jan. 31, 1957 when it proclaimed:
"A day of general thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the bountiful har-
vest with which Canada has been
blessed..." to be observed on the sec-
ond Monday in October.
It's relatively easy to give thanks
when things are going well: your
health is good, your family is safe,
the crops are a success, and your
community is a "national winner"...
But what about when times are
Mission in Service was the theme
for the Maitland Presbyterial fall
rally held on Sept. 24 at South
Kinloss Presbyterian Church. Supper
prepared by South Kinloss WMS
was enjoyed by all.
The evening program began with a
sing-song led by Margaret deBoer.
Marjorie Deyell and Ruth Buchmeir
welcomed everyone.
Following opening worship, sev-
eral items of business were dealt
with. Everyone was reminded that it
is time to renew subscriptions to
Glad Tidings. Treasurers were
reminded that allocation monies are

tough? When the soybean yields are
abysmal, you :experience nagging
back pain or a more serious ailment,
you're missing a loved one due to
distance or perhaps death?
God's Word in the Bible counsels
us to "give thanks in all circum-
stances"; and to be "always giving
thanks to God-the Fattier for every-
thing, in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:18;
Ephesians 5:20)
It doesn't come naturally to be
thankful in all circumstances, in
everything.
This doesn't mean that those who
follow Christ are to always wear a
wan smile when disaster strikes, or
that we're not supposed to grieve.
Jesus was deeply touched emotional-
ly and wept when the brother of his
dear friends Mary and Martha died
(John 11:33,35).

Hawthorne of Lucknow is
Presbyterial treasurer, replacing
Eileen Chambers as she has moved
to Kemptville.
The senior girls of South Kinloss
accompanied by Dale Gilchrist
shared special music.
Betty Mitchell introduced the
guest speaker Ellen Waldock, a nurs-
ing instructor working with SIM
(Serving in Mission) an interdenom-
inational group serving in 43 coun-
tries. She has been working at
Mukinge Hospital in Zambia for 23
years teaching nursing students. The
students are a large part of the work-
(Romans 8:35-39)
The prophet Habakkuk in the Old
Testament experienced this same
thankfulness despite a painful time
in his nation's 'history when invaders
were wiping it off the map. He sang,
"Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails and the
fields produce no food, though there
are no sheep in the pen and no cattle
in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the
LORD, I will be joyful in God my
Savior." (Habakkuk 3:17,18).
A Nashville man named Mike
McAdams visited his- wife in the
intensive care unit of the hospital. As
he exited her unit, an anxious friend
asked, "How is she?"
Mike replied, "It's touch and go.
She recognized me. We prayed
together and held hands. And then
we quoted the passage about thanks-
giving in the book of James -that
-says, 'Consider it joy, my brothers,
when you face trials of many
kinds...—
He added, "You know, it's impos-
sible to be anxious and thankful at
the same time."
