Plan Thames Road events
By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE
Rev. K. Teddy Smits was in
charge of the Sunday morning
church service with a fair atten
dance. In the children's story the
,Rev. Teddy Smits spoke about a
little young fish who wished he
could swim in the sea. He asked an-
other young fish where to find the
sea. The other young fish said "I
have not found it myself". The little
fish swam on, he met an old, wise
fish and asked its question again.
The old fish said, "Don't you know
it? You have been in the sea all the
time". People sometimes ask:
Where is God? But God is all
around us!
In his sermon the Rev. Teddy
Smits spokc about the Beatitudes,
and took as his text, St. Matthew
5:5, 'Blessed are the meek for they
shall inherit the earth. He quoted
Dostoycvsky's story on how much
land a man should own. A young
farmer who was hungry for lots of
land and prosperity made a trip to a
region where he had heard land was
freely available. He was told he
could start at dawn, and be given as
much land as he could encompass.
The only condition : he must be
back before the communty elders
before sunset. The man began walk-
. ing at sunrise. He took in the best
land and kept including more and
more, the little stream, the group of
trees.
. Suddenly he noticed that the sun
was beginning to sink. He ran and
ranand finally made it. As he
reached the elders, he collapsed and
died.
We see many people who try to
gather much of this world. Many
have resorted to wars. Jc.:us-said:
Blessed are the meek, for they will
inherit the earth. To -day we see the
people reaching for more and more.
Jesus was not very weak, but He
humbled Himself and gave His life
so that we might live.
