From -.the

REV. ROSS'NICHOLS
Free Methodist -
Scripture: Ps. 54:11 No good
Ming will Ile t,vitflhok1 from
them that walk uprightly.
All the world recently
welcomed the Apollo 11 team
back from their successful lunar
landing .mission. To those who
masterminded the program and
all that vast network of
humanity that made the venture
a success, we render applause.
"Honour to whom honour is
due." Rom. 13: 7.
Ours is truly a challenging day
in the history of.mankind. With
the ecceleratio.n of technical
knowledge,' in addition to
fantastic strides in every other
area, we can sit in our own living
rooms and watch history being
made anywhere on our planet,
or others now. But who would
deny that most of what we have
developed, with the thought of
bettering mankind, has really
presented more headaches, and
issues of :contention, than we
have been able to successfully
grapple with. At present the
thought of escaping this planet
from some points of View, seems
almost inviting, with the spread
of social revolution, outbreaks
of violence and crime, along
with the rising threat of
universal dictatorship. And who
can sit on this powder keg, and
with any degree • of sober
rationalizing, be convinced"that
this greatest of, all achievements
can be subdued to serving only
noble ends? On our present
course,, I suggest we be aware,
lest like Haman, we be erecting
our own gallows.
It seems to me that apart
from being a lesser light to rule..
the night and for signs, and
seasons,' there is "no good
thing," up there for us. Ps. 84:
11. Since . man has never yet
accepted God's -word for truth,
like children we will certainly
prove it to our own satisfaction,
while God waits it out, like a
mother watching •her child play
with firecrackers.
The question on most minds
is,. could not such . a space
exploration program be a
peaceful, and international, and
mutually beneficial project? I
would say it wouldbe as safe as

a hangranade, with the safety
pin kept in place: but
unfortunately, the pin popped
out way back in the Garden of
Eden, when our federal head
Adam threw off the Government
of God, the Holy Spirit that
blessed and presided over the
'affairs- rfriti nN was - obli ed To --
withdraw ,
owithdraw, leaving man to be his
own god, whose nature is
selfishness, and greed; this
accounts for all the strife among
men and nations throughout
history, and now poses a real
threat to our space age.
The good tidings of great joy
is, that He, the Holy Spirit will
return to all who return to Him
in penitence for their rejection
of Him, and the evil
consequences that followed
naturally.
True the world is full of
religion, but apart from the Holy
Spirit, it's all counterfeit.
Romans 10: 3, 4: "For they
being ignorant of God's
righteousness, and going, about
to establish their own
righteousness, have not
submitted themgelves unto the
righteousness of God. For Christ
is the end of the Law for
righteousness, to everyone that
believeth; hence true
Christianity is the terms upon
which -the Holy Spirit agrees to.
be reinsated into"the lives, and
affairs of men. Rom. 12: 2 says
"Be not conformed to this
world, but be transformed....
Religious leaders: The task is
yours,- Now if'; you will _keep
within the bounds of Scripture,
as conscienciously as s our
scientists keep within the
bounds of natural and scientific
laws, our earth would soon be an
'Eden for, only man is vile.
What a thrill for the
Astronauts to know that all their
discoveries would be turned only
to noble ends. On the other
hand, who would want to accept
a ballheaded, desolate desert to
dust, as reported by our visitors
to the moon, in exchange for
our Eden of coast to coast, green
carpeting, be bejewelled with
emerald lakes, and mountains
mantled with scented forests to
their silvery summits; and the
songs of natures feathered
minstrels, wafted along on every
breeze, while at our .feet a
kaleidoscope of floral colours
flank each pathway, and nod at
every passerby. Let us be
reminded again,- NO GOOD
THING WILL BE WITHOLD
FROM THEM THAT WALK
UPRIGHTLY. Ps 84:11.

Other storms are
remembered
BY GEO. L. ELLIS
The unveiling of an Historical
plaque here on August 3 to mark
`the Great Storm of 1913" in
which 244 sailors on Lake
Huron lost their lives recalled
other earlier storms.
;,I)ne hundred and twenty one
years ago -- on October- . 31,..
1848, to be exact -- four
Goderich men were drowned in •
a storm.

and Wing, a sailing boat owned
by John Bedford, father of the
man who eventually built the"
present Bedford Hotel on The
Square in Goderich. A native of
Birmingham, England, ' John
Bedford came to Goderich in
18'38.
In the early morning of
October 3Q, 1848,. Bedford left
Goderich harbor in his 'sailing
boat and headed for
Manitowaning on Manitoulin
Island. Accompanying him were
three friends: Thomas Miles, a"

The Bible Society helps to
meet the nee41 of blind people
by distributing the Scriptures
not, only in Braille but ai'so on
records. What this means to a
blind person is conveyed by a
letter written from the friend
of one of them who had re-
ceived the New Testament on
record -s. "You can never kniow
how much the New Testament
has meant to her and how
many hours of pleasure she
has got from it. Just to own
it, and know she can listen
when she wants to, is so im-
portant to her. Since she re-
ceived the records her needs,
have diminished dramatically:
Before . .. fear seemed to en-
gulf her, and she was using
the only weapon at her com-
mand to fight it — self-pity
and the accumulation of
many things If you can send
the Old Testament to her, her
cup will surely overflow. This
gift has not only changed the
life of this little 'lady but it
has changed the lives of those
about her. She is much more
pleasant and agreeable; those
who work with her have had
their burden lightened consid-
erably. Her room -mate also
enjoys hearing the records."
Souveniers were ticket

Two Prescott, Ont. high
school boys have overcome the
student job shortage by going
into the tourist business as a
team.
Dan Crozier and Chris
Robinson started a souvenir
manufacturing firm called
Student Enterprises and their
first products are models of Fort
Wellington, built' in the town
during the War of 1812, and the
Windmill, two , miles east of
Prescott, which figured in a
bloody battle during the
Mackenzie Rebellion.
Idea for the venture was
sparked by the Grenville County
Historical Society which is
co-operating with the Iogcal
chamber of ' commerce to
promote Prescott as the "Fort
Town." Local merchants also'are
lending support to the campaign
by merchandizing • the models
which the youths • are now
turning out in quantities of 500
-atatime.
The souvenirs are fashioned
with ash trays, pen and envelope
holders and * the enterprising
youngsters now are exploring
other subjects to work on,
including big cargo ships which
pass the town on. the St.
Lawrence Seaway.
Their ambitions could very
well rub off .on students in other
area of the province which have
famous landmarks. In Toronto,
^ for example, there's the new city
hall. At West Montrose near.
Elmira there's the last covered
bridge in Ontario.
Or how about the Martyrs'
Shrine at Midland, the -General
Brock monument and Laura.

home of Alexander Graham Bell

At daybreak on October 31st,
their boat made a run for the
channel between Chief's Point
ani Whitefish island.. On lilissing
the ' channel, the boat struck a
reef of rocks and immediately
disappeared. The lake storm
which caused. .ibis._- mishap --raged
so furiously no assistancecould
be rendered the stranded sailors.
On November 1, however, a
search party went on shore and
saw Mr. Bedford's dog
wandering helplessly around.
Following the dog, the party was
eventually led to the dremains df
the Wrecked sailing boat., The
boat had drifted over the reef
and was in a bay about two
miles from where it had been
wrecked on the reef.
A long search for the bodies
was unsuccessful. A few barrels
and boxes and Mr. Bedford's
portable writing desk were the
Only items from the wreck that
were found.
On the same day as the
aforementioned wreck, the
Package., designer for 'I.Q., a
smoking deterrent, have taken a
psychological approach by a
creating a package which closely
resembles a cigarette pack in ;ize
and color, reports Canadian
Packaging magazine. The idea is
to give the smoker who's trying
to quit, the visual sensation and
tactile satisfaction of handling a •
cigarette package whenever he
feels the need of a smoke.
Perhaps to make the hopeful
smoke -resistor feel something
akin to.patriotism, the design of
the predominantly red -and' white
package includes details like the
blue (U.S.) tax stamp, plastic
tear strip and warning,
"Caution: :Cigarette Smoking
May Be Hazardous To Your
Health" found on real cigarette
packs. •
The I.Q. lozenges to help you
quit smoking costs about twice
as much as the cigarettes you
don't buy.
Racine, bound from Chicago to
Kingston with a load of beef,
tallow and hides., lost her canvass
and lifeboat, tin the storm.. The
schooner was driven ashore near
where the—Wing and Wing hit the
reef. The George Davies of
Buffalo, with 10,000 bushels of
wheat,. lost most ,of her canvass
but managed to make Whitefish
harbour safely.

prompted a well-known
Goderich mariner, Capt. Crabb,
to urge that a chart be made of
the Canadian coast of Lake
Huron showing the principal
points from the opposite shore.
Many lives" and much valuable
property might be saved if this
were done, Capt. Crabb said.
Also needed, he added was a
small light on the north pier of
Goderich harbor just to show
the mariners out in the lake
where the entrance to Goderich,
hartior was located. He
maintained that the big
lighthouse on the cliff showed
where Goderich was located in
general but did not guide boats
into Goderich harbor as it
should.
