"Because I live, ye ShaII Iive also"—John 14:19. "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things that aro above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God"— Col. 3:1. The resurrection message is life—freer, fairer, fuller life. The resurrection of Christ is an historical fact. "Because I live," He did rise. It is an historical fact—by the -testimony of com- petent witnesses and by the witness of relayed facts and re- sults. ' The resurrection 'of Christ is a spiritual force in the lives of men. "Because I live, ye shall live also," Because he lives, men do live. Through fella _.al. 41174he 'Self men rise from _a_ dea£h in sin to a life of holiness. "Now is Christ risen from the dead," "Ye are risen with Christ." In Christ the believer` is a risen man. " The 'resurrection of Christ is a prophecy and hope and as- surance of future life. "Because I live, ye shall live also"—a liv- ing Christ guarantees a living people. Because he was able to lay down his life and take it again he is able to cause us to live after death. The outstand- ing fact of Easter is immortality —the imperishable life, the abundant " life, the expanding life, the triumphant life. Through- Jesus' resurrection .ET'S -SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT Singe the war more than 175 Ontario municipalities have voted for legal beverage outlets. Not a single one has since voted to discontinue sale to the public in cocktail lounges or dining lounges. In 1960 alon , TWENTY-NINE voted for legal outlets. These include CLINTON, Z' ' ICH and SEAFORTH, some of our nearest neighbors. WHAT ABOUT SALE TO MINORS ? Much has been said about the dangers to the youth of the town that would result from legalr- licenses. • 1 w ' These statements are inaccurate and misleading. No one • under -the age of 21 years can be served in a legal cocktail lounge or dining lounge. " The penalty for this offense is so severe that hotel owners dare not take a chance and infractions are extremely rare. LICENSES ARE NOT ISSUED AGAINST WISHES OF THE PUBLIC It is a positive, fact that the local council or the general public can, and sometimes does, object to and prevent the issuance of licenses to individuals or establishments that do not meet the standards' they consider necessary: No licenses can be issued except in areas zoned as commercial. • THE FUTURE OF GODERICH HOTELS DEPENDS ON THIS VOTE The future._,existence of community hotel services in Goderich depends upon them being, permitted license privileges. It is well known that 4oeal retail business in general is, suffering more and more because. of competition from other towns in Huron County. Only by providing equivalent services here in Goderich can this w trend be reversed., MORE FOOD. STORES SELL MORE FOOD.? NO — but they provide better service. We are asking you to approve LOCAL BEVERAGE outlets — Not to sell more liquor but to proVide a service many of our citizens now leave town to obtain — and tourists expect to find here.

In Christ we ee through death. -.Death be- mea " transparent. We 'gaze u on the other side. Death is. n a terminus; it is a thorough- . Life does not finish in end - les night; it goes forward to bright morning and endless day. What manner of man ought A, then, to be'? How shall I plan my life? How shall I build? Boats that are -intended for small, land -locked waters are of one build. Liners that are pur- posed for the great deep are quite another build. Lives that are built for three score years and ten are of one design; lives that are, built, for eternity are of quite another design. I must build for the ocean, and not for the river; not for the creek, but for the infinite. I must there- fore d4 ��e :�� child' of eternal. , :-iltt� ��Y P ur•a- poses must be such that I can carry them through the narrow straits of death into the "endless life" beyond. "If yethen be risen with Christ," shape your lives for the beyond. The joy of Easter, the victory of Christ, is for all. When we wander through a graveyard looking at the monuments and the tombstones we often read: "Here lies," then follows the name of the person and the date of his death. How different when we think of the tomb of our Lord; It is not, "Here lies," but entirely the reverse: "He is not here, he is risen!" How true the words: "I am the resur- rection pnd the life, he that be- lieveth in me though lie die yet shall he live." Everything in this service must center around the `!triumphant Christ," From Prelude to Postlude, we must be Made to' feel This victorious ,strain. What better hymn could we sing than: "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, Hallelujah!" Here is the song of triumphant glad- ness: 'It is a happy remem- brance that "earth's saddest day, and earth's gladdest day are but one day apart." Since God's re- deeming Work is done ,we need not go stumbling from one de- feat to another, but from victory to victory! • The two men on the road to Emmaus were discour- aged, and did not understand until they met the resurrected_ Christ in the breaking of bread; then they had a heart burning experience that opened their eyes, and -:opened their under- standing of the Scripture. Discouraged orie, when did you last meet the resurrected Saviour at the breaking of bread? When did you have your last heart burning experience, that gaveyou a, thrilling, activ- ating testimony to run and tell others? Unsaved fend, why not ac- cept the crucified,, buried and resurrected 'Saviour now, and live the life He stands for? Christian friend, If ye then be risen with Christ, do you set your affections on the things that are above and not on things on the earth, and enjoy this abundant, triumphant life, through. our resurrected Saviour now. • Letter To Editor Editor, Signal -Star. Dear Six: This is an open letter to com- munity=minded citizens from the undersigned ministers re no fur- ther liquor outlets. In Canada, commynity stand- ards and family..ideals are base a aretigion a God'SY.Pal11 erhood and man's brotherhood as .expressett ;;.O t + % ; er. Because we are oar brother's keepers, the Christian Church strives to lead each of our bro- ther ' men to develop the finest moral character by inner con- victions and suitable .environ- ment. Our Goderich churches have obseryed that elsewhere more outlets for the, sale of beverage alcohol have inevitably increased consumption thereo, and likewise increased -and ag- gravated social problems, family break -downs and personal trag- edies. ' ' Consider these actions which prove the grave concern of re- sponsible Goderich citizens and groups in our community. The undersigned ministers Are per- sonally presenting this issue within their congregations. The Salvation Army takes the same 1 o t. ' li stand Iota t sod1 u y.. Canada which is se highest Divisional o' cer in the following statement: "As a re- sult of the increase of social problems with the increase • of outlets ... we are compelled to raise our voice in ' support of those who are endeavoring to protect, the interests of family life in Goderich by asking the citizens to vote `No"in the forth- coming vote on dining lounges. and cocktail bars." The,. Sessions of Knox Presby terian Church, of North Street and Victoria Street • United Churches, the Deacons of the Baptist Church, and. the Ofilcial Boards of the Free Methodist Church and the Pentecostal Church have placed themselves on record as "opposed to further liquor outlets- in Goderich." Benjamin Franklin said "The greatest thought. ._I ..have' .ever had is of my responsibility to Almighty God." Let us as citi- zens remember our individual responsibility to Gild, our Fath- er. and our eommon '-respons- ibility to our fellow men and women, and let us ever respect our trust as guardians of child ren and youth. We; therefore, urge you on April 19 to vote "NO" on the two questions seeking authority for additional liquor outlets. Thus Goderich° can retain the most wholesome community and family opportunities for itself "the prettiest town- im Cany-- ada." Sincerely yours,, Stanley A.iMoote,_ Capt. Rbger A. Petersen, E. A.
