TRUTH The sun radiates energy at the rate of approximately 70,000 horsepower per sec4ind from every square yard of Its surface. It has continued to do so for thousands of years and gives every Indication of continuing to do so through thousands of years to come. Yet it does not burn out or change its constant production of heat. What Is the secret? is it "nuclear transmutation"? In the time of Moses was there a similar phenomenon when the bush burned but was not consumed? Science may give some partial answers, but the Bible gives the final answer. The Bible says, "For by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in ear- th...atl things were created by Him and for Him...and by Him all things consist." See Colossians 1: 15-17. The Creator and Sustainer of the universe Is also the Saviour of the person who confesses his sin and failure and Inability to save himself and trusts in Christ to save him from sin and hell. Christ said, "Come unto me...I will give you rest". Matthew 11:2*.

Holmesville pioneer recalled In the March 21, 1929 edition of the Clinton News -Record a story entitled "Some Pioneer Reminiscences from Goderich Township", recalled some of the interesting characters and times from the earlier days in the area. The article reads: "There's a story told of the late John Holmes, one of the early pioneers of Goderich Township, who's memory is revered by those who still live after seeing the virgin forests become waving wheat fields. John had assisted a goodly number of farmers out his way to raise their barns. It came John's turn to raise his barn. He was an Irish gentleman noted for his uncommon integrity and uprightedness of heart, combined with a wholesome fear of God and he was no drinker. His friends had arranged beforehand to- put this integrity to the test. "Well John," they said, "If you will pass the grog around we will raise your barn for you." John's answer was characteristic, "Well boys if you can't raise my barn without the grog, go home, and I will pay men to raise my barn for me." The barn was raised. "In an almost unknown spot on the farm opposite to where the Holmesville Cemetery now stands, there lies the lonely grave of John's only brother, Thomas, who came with him to Canada almost 100 Wingham Memorials Granite • Guaranteed • Cemetery Lettering • Buy Direct and save Commissions. years ago (1829) and who was one of tJe first pioneers to pass away and was buried before the present site of. the Holmesville Cemetery was chosen. John and Thomas are remembered with love by silver -haired friends across the Atlantic, proving the truth of the words of Solomon, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Mrs. Beaton and Mrs. Eagan, both widows, are two of John Holmes' daughters, residing still in Clinton. "Two youngsters with a basket of farm produce from the farm of the late Robert Baker, another Irish gentleman and early pioneer of Goderich 1, Township, trudged from the farm to the town of Goderich, along 12 miles, with bnly a blazed trail to follow. It was evening when the two lads returned along the st}me blazed trail, covering 24 miles in all and carrying each a brand new hoe over the shoulder, to assist their father in farming. John Baker claims to be one of these young brave lads and still lives, nearing 90 years, on his farm with his only daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. I. Jones and his grandchildren. "We trust he may be spared many years yet. Mr. Baker is an uncle of Mrs. Beaton and Mrs. Egan of Clinton." Church Services ALL. SERVICES ON- EASTERN STANDARD TIME ONTARIO STREET UNITED CHURCH .
