Ultimatum Unless we as individuals and as a nation forget selfishness, greed and "self aggritndizement we are heading directly into the path of the greatest purge .in the history of the world, warned the, guest speaker, Lion Walter Fisher. "We don't have tithe to sit aumnd and Abe complacent," he said and warn- ed that big changes are right on ours' doorstep now. = Reminding his audience that atomic and now hydrogen bombs could wipe out the civilized world in no time, he pointed out how ,:Picirrre Minister Churchill warned that this danger may be only two, three or, at the most, four years away. Tracing 'the" development' of man's inventions from wheels, steam power, electricity, ete., Lion Fisher said "We have today power we can't even manage." Despite this, he said, "Still the most power- ful thing in the -World is the spirit of God in man," He urged men to turn to this power for the balance they need. He quoted Matthew 24: 21-22: "For then shall be great tribula- tion, such as was not since the be- ginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved, but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." .1' Hydrogen Bomb The guest speaker referred to the phrase in' the Scripture above, "there should no flesh be saved" and said such a thing was neves, before possible until today when the hydrogen bomb could bring such destruction., He warned of certain punishment ahead for men in . the immediate future • unless they turned to God. He concluded his address with the :following! poem: . 'I hear men speak of some new world tomorrow, Of lasting peace, of brotherhood of men, Of. banishing from earth the ,.blight of -sorrow Which war has spread across her face again; Of geographic changes cdntealop- lated, Of treaties drawn, of ideals to ensure; The reaching out in love to thew once hated That children 'yet, unborn Bird peaee secure. • But how shall men achieve this rich desire When laws and pacts have failed in ages past? How shall each heart be lifted to a spire , • And make this dream reality at last? . There is ONE path, one shag hope today 'Tis follow Hisn Who Said, 1" am the way'." The guest speaker felt that, mast people were uncon'Sciotis'ly :g aping at security—"Let the. government do it for us." He urged people to think for themselves. Pointe out !that Canadians were cu' i tut ing four billion dollars to ii .tea every year in taxes, Jae said thexi were all kinds of people who never even went out to vote: Away Off Balance Speaking of the fast pace of lie today, Lion Fisher -said. forces .a1 around were forcing us on faster and faster until !today we have the speed bat we're flying tl pieces. We are badly in' need o• balance. He .felt .the spirit of God would give us the required" balance. • 11 a person has ulcers or a heart con: dition it is usually, a condition which he himself has created and -which he himself can do some thing about. It's within h self to do it, It's his mental Attitude. Telling of his visits to various parts of the world as p' sident o Lions International, the guest speaker said that men all over the World are basically,tlie same—they really want to do what's right, ge said his world-wide visits had con- vinced hint there is ,much good in the world,' .fie regretted that here in Canada we had .two billion,dollars to spend on "defence" but "not a ruddy nickel" to spend on constructive~ idea§ which are, in truth, the most important and power-ftil ti inga• the world today.
