GOD R:IClr SIGMA „, tAR, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 196
From the
Minister's stu
REV, •G. L. ROYAL
lr troy Presb vterian
shot in the dark'
By the time this article
appears in print the first man l'°
will . hopefully have stepped onto
the surface of , the Moon. As
"' Hese worcls�are' cofl1Pbsei
the .day of takeoff we can only
Wish Armstrong, Aldrin and
Cacllins Godspeed. Our hope is,
and will continue ,0 be, for
success in this terrific adventure
in the atmosphere above.
Men have dreamed of
conquering the Moon for
centuries. Nostradamds had
, some thoughts on the matter as
did Leonardo diVinci, as did
Jules Verne. They were visions
of tomorrow and were so real to
the dreamer. " We need these
dreamers in society; they make
us sit up and take notice; they
never allow us to become mired
in the backwash of time. Names
like Glenn and Grissom and
Borman and Stafford stand
today with the great names of
yesterday, Columbus and Marco
Polo and Cabot and Magellan
and Cartier. Good luck to th'e
venturers in space! .
We know that the universe is
the creation of God. The
galaxies all owe their beings to
the capabilities of the Almighty.
The first rehearsal of today's
expedition into broad space is
found in Genesis 1:14,15,. "And
God said, Let there be lights in
the firmament of the heaven to
divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs, and
for seasons, and for days, and
years: And letthem be for lights
in the firmanent of the heaven
to give light upon the earth; and
it was so."
When I was younger I
thought it a dreadful deed to
contemplate the conquest of the
stars. Now that I am older I
cannot help but believe God is
calling men into the vastness of
space. ,Ile means us to, go to the
Maon - to .Venus -- •and Mars -
IntiJupiterj-and~Satur 'Than -
depends upon God willing! Its
not man defying 'God: it is
rather man tying himself in with
the Grand Design of God by
using the tools the Divine Maker
has placed in our frail hands.
We believe in revelation. We
believe God revealed to man the
splitting of the atom, and the
proportions of nuclear fission.
Man may misuse the gifts, of God
(the atomic bomb‘was certain ly
a misuse!) but that is man's
doing and .need not be confused
with the Plan of . the Almighty.
Since God is love He cannot
condone the misapplication, of
His Power. It is here that man
sins. •
Man becomes too big. He
always .has had an enlarged idea
of himself. Because of. this he
blots out the Genius of God. He
becomes harnessed in darkness
and lives unto -himself alone. He
sins. He falls far short of the
Glory of God. (Romans 3:23-y
Eureka! -Christ comes to dispell
the domain of sin. The Saviour is
life's greatest necessity. There
must • be a . righting of things so
that man's outhrust is one of
loveer a love dbmiciled in the
fountainhead of all love, even
God. So, Calvary passes,in
review and we see the .depths of
love's ` sacrifice; the Garden
" presents the picture of love's
conquest;, and, finally, .the Holy
Spirit descends to assure us of
love's Presence.
As God opens up His rich
treasury in Space may man go
forward trusting in Him.

foundering like the others, has
been a matter, for conjecture
ever since. The best guess may.
be that her cargo of coal shifted
,`'as she rolled, carrying her all the
way over and smashing its way
through her hatches as she went.
There would thus be sufficient
air , trapped in her ,bottom to
keep her afloat.
The storm played nof avorites
as regards age or size.., The
"James Carruthers," 550 feet
long, • had been . launched at ,
Collingwood only that spring,
and had been built with a
particular eye. to strength and
seaworthiness. The "Wexford,"
on the other - hand, was the
oldest of all those lost, having
been built in Britain in 1883,
and was only half the length of
the "Carruthers."
There have been other gales
since, that of November 11-12,
-x•948, -•being.part•icu,larl-y-violeii-t,-
i..��kten:.,ps . were
lost, and a total of 67• lives. The
main reason for the disparity
may be "found in the improved
methods of weather prediction,
the radio direction -finding
equipment by then carried in
most ships, and the greatly
improved system of hatch covers
installed in most of them. Add
_war -developed:. radar .to these
improvements, and fhe
likelihood of a 1913,style
'catastrophe ever happening again
is, very small• _ ... _,_ _.
THANK
GOD FOR
"LIVING WATERS CRUSADE."
I would like to 'highly
commend The Huron Christian
Men's Association and its
chairman for the careful and
prayerful planning of such a
crusade: Everything was done
decently_and in order. Extensive
mailing of letters, advertising,
'visitation work, prayer meetings,
counselling, ` choir work etc.,
proved worthwhile and brought
much glory to God. Evil does
prevail when good men do
nothing. Thank God there are
some men whom God has given
a passion for souls and who truly
see that they are their brother's
keeper by ,seeking to win them
to Christ! "He that witineth
SOULS is wise" and the man
that is doing this service for the
Master is doing the most
..valuable piece of evangelistic
work this side of heaven!
Only Eternity will reveal. the
' yd tit has. been done k rorxgh-P
