From the
Minister's study
REV. KENNETH J.aKNIGHT
Calvary Baptist Church
The whole truth
Years ago, the "old-fash oned
philosopher". Josh Bi ings
wrote: "The trouble with people
is not that -they dorr't-kn`oW,'but.
that they know so much that
ain't so!"
And it's the hardest thing in
the world to get a person to
"unlearn" some idea that has
•taken root in his mind, an idea
that is standing in the way of the
truth.
Religious ideas in particular
take deep root and seem almost
impossible to pull out. "But I
was baptized as a baby!" "I'm a
member of a church!" "I live a
decent life and pay my taxes!"
This was Paul's problem; he
had to "unlearn".all he thought
he knew about salvation before
.he could turn away from his
own self -efforts and put his faith
in Christ. Moral church members
today face the same problem.
They cannot seem to understand
that salvation is the gift of God,
and that no amount of religious
efforts can earn that gift.
Satan is still controlling lives
and condemning souls through
lies. And for some reason, the
human heart would rather
belieJe a lie than the truth. But
for those who will turn to the
truth, Jesus promises, "And ye
shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make you free!
Don't ask us who said it,
because nobody seems to know.
But here it is:
"Many, things in the Bible .I
cannot understand; many things
in the 'Bible I only think ,I
understand: but there are many
"THE BIBLE
The United Bible Societies
announce the first despatch
of Bibles to Cuba since the
Bible Society. there ceased op-
eration.
In March, 1968, the Govern-
ment of Cuba closed down
the Bible Society's depot. Fol-
lowing this, a Cuban Bible
Committee was formed as a
constituent member of the
Council of Churches, through
which relationships with the
Government are maintained.
At the end of November, 1969,
verbal authorization was giv-
en for the import of Scrip-
tures; Dr Olivier Beguin, Gen-
eral Secretary of the United
Bible' Societies, visited Cuba
in December and discussed.
details of the arrangements.

the order to be fulfilled and

Cancer Unit
plans evening
The Huron , Unit of the
Canadian Cancer Society is
planning a bang-up evening for
Oct. 28 in the recreation centre
at CFB Clinton to inform the
public about all types of cancer.
Although the emphasis will
be or. the 'two cancers most
prevalent in women, cancer of
the cervix and of the breast, the
proceedings will bring forth
much general information about
the disease and will be of
interest to both men and
women.
Mistress of ceremonies for the
, evening will be Anna Meyer of
\j,.'CKNX Wingham.
a A distinguished panel will
have Don Gray, ETV, London .

moderator. Members will be
Maurice J. Grimes, executive
director of the Ontario Division
of the Cancer Society; Sister St.
William, co-ordinator of
education of the Ontario
-Division--of -tT "an eerSoeicty;
things in the Bible I cannot
misunderstand!"
How true! It reminds us of
the -statement attributed to Mark
Twain: "It's not what I don't
understand about the Bible that
bothers me, but what I do
understand!"
A man 'does not have to
become a Bible scholar or a
theologian to understand the
basic truths of the Gospel. Jesus
made it clear' that God has "hid
these things from the wise and
prudent, and ... revealed them
unto babes" (Lk. 10:21).
Spiritual understanding is not a
matter of IQ or education, but
of a sincere heart and a
willingness to obey what God
says.
The Bible is clear about the
fact of sin, the death of Christ
for sinners, the impending
judgment of hell, and the offer
of full forgiveness through faith
in Christ. God's promise "For
whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved"
is 'simple enough for a child tb
understand. The thief on the
cross did not have time to take a
correspondence course, but he
did turn to Christ in simple faith
and find talvation.
Don't • let the perplexing
things in the Bible • rob you of
the simple things. .There are
many things in the Bible that
you cannot misunderstand; and
one of them is "For the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God
is • eternal' life through , Jesus
Christ our Lord" (Rom. 6: 23).
