Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1969-11-06, Page 34* w• a r • • • r • t� F • 14 a � From the . Minister's study REV. ARTF(JR MAYBURY Fist Baptist Church Want 'some , love? Let me quote some of the words from the song, "There's Going To Be A Wedding" in the play BARNABY soon to be presented; by our local Little Theatre group. The play was written by Mr. Brian Markson, a resident of Goderich, and these lyrics are used with his permission. "Love and Joy and Merriment Be with you through the years. Togetherness is nurtured Where mistrust disappears. Accept each others reason For deeds not understood Discuss a point don't argue Its may be for`your good ° And when the years have passed you And children bless your way Look back with joy and merriment Upon your wedding day." These words embody some of the highest ideals for marriage. It is not easy, however; to live up to the advice here. The . biggest factor in one's ability to follow these guidelines is one's security or lack thereof. If you are never really sure that you are right when - you disagree with someone, the odds are that you will defend your position with even greater vehemence. When I think of the load of Consideration that falls on the shoulders of the marriage partners, I remember the words of Christ, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden; and I will give you rest." This is not a promise that everything will be a bed of roses. Quite simply, it is a promise that if we remember that a marriage .is made up .of three people — husband, wife, and God — there will be an underlying security that can be found in no other way. There is no better foundation upon Which to build life than that foundation that will never change. Everyone wants to be loved; and , who can show greater love than He who died for you. Everyone wants to be safe and secure; who can hold us better than He who has told us that underneath are His everlasting arms. Want love? Want a good marriage? Rely on the ` only source of Love and loving relationship, God, as shown to us in Jesus.Christ. Obituaries NEIL GEORGE WITMER Neil George.

As a contribution to the 125th anniversary of the YMCA this year, the American Bible Society is placing a copy of its Today's English Version New Testament, "Good News for Modern Man," in every YMCA hostel. room. Fifteen thousand copies of this popu- lar paperback are being made ° available for • this purpose. But this is a presentation with a difference. In contrast to the instruction which is ,given in most hotel Bibles — "Please do not remove this from the room," the readers of the TEV New Testaments are invited on the inscription page "to take it away with you." And no doubt many will — to good effect. At the other end Of the scale, a specially inscribed copy of the TEV New Testa- ment was presented to Mr. Frederik Franklin, General , Secretary of the World YMCA, by the United Bible Societies' fraternal delegate to the YM- CA Fifth World Assembly D.B.

This stone is no longer quarried and so a wide search has had to be made in order to find used slabs thereof large ,enough to replace those here we are unable to re -use. This, of course greatly adds to the cost, but we feel we must do our utmost to maintain the original character of the building. The response from Canada, started by Bill Lynch's letter, has been quite overwhelming and words seem -utterly inadequate to express our thanks to you wonderful people over there. While, having been taught to be cautious, one mustn't set one's hopes too high, if so much has been achieved by the one short letter sent by Bill Lynch to the Toronto Telegram, one cannot but, feel your excellent and moving displayed and illustrated article must have a very much greater impact. For everything, therefore, and especially for your good will and just for caring about our need, as we in our turn are proud and glad to be the only church in England housing a memorial to the Canadian dead in the Dieppe • Raid and to keep alive their memory and that of the raid.. itself....

A Bible Society colporteur in France received a letter from a 'prisoner, who wrote that while reading a text from the book df Ezekiel:' "For I 'have no pleasure in the death of anyone, says the Lord God, so turn and live" (18, v.32 ), he did in fact turn from his sin to God .. . . and was convert, ed." "Now I turn Ito you" he wrote, "to help me to get off on the right foot in the Christ- ian faith, because I shan't get 'any good advice about that -here in prison. When you are a thief and Christ invites you to follow Him, you need some- one to guide you." The prison- er is now taking a Bible cor- respondence course. • In a strongly • Communist arta two other colporteurs calif' across a young man of about 24, painting his house. He did not receive them ki:,A- ly ! What, me? The Gospel! Don't make me laugh! Do .1 look mug enough to be a Christian?" Hearing a friend call.. him John, they replied, jokingly, "But you have a very Christian name! John was a disciple whom Jesus loved very much." This. ,seemed to leave him cold. A Year later the colporteurs saw the young man again — still painting his house! He seemed to have a craze for it: They bade him good morning. • "Hey!" he called, "have you still got that book of John your told rrie about last . time?" "Yes, but it's a Gospel."
