REV, LEONARD WARR
"Victoria Street-Benrriiller-•
United Churches
A Christi i 1' is one who Lias
accepted Jesus Christ as Saviour
artd who should have made Him
Lord of Life. But we all know
from experience and from
observation that there are vast
differences among those who
profess the Name of Christ, ever.
though the goal of all Christians
should be to honor and glorify
Christ in everything they dog
What explains these
differences? What c°an we do to
reflect in our outward life the
fullness of the indwelling
Saviour?
A true believer in Christ is
indwelt and empowered by His
Spirit.' The Bible is explicit in
anything of us for which He has
not made provision. He knows
we are weak, and so He has
provided the strength. He knows
we will be tempted, and `He has
provided the way of escape. He
knows we arcfgnorant,' and He,
has provided the necessary
wisdom. He knows we are easily
confused, and He has provided
light to show .the: way in which
we should walk.
To live as Christians should,
we must. live humbly, always
remembering that but for the
love; -grace and mercy of God we
would be lost. There is noplace
for pride or self-satisfaction.
telling us of the fruit of the Everything we have now'and for
Spirit: "love, joy, peace, eterpity we have through the
patience, kindness, goodness; One who died ipa.Ypur • lace and
'""f It hfulness, stns, who ook •our
self-control." punishment, and who makes us
Let's be honest and objective. righteous in God's sight.
As we search our own lives can
we say that we have the internal
4 and external evidence of the
tit" fruit of the holy Spirit?`1f not,
let us see what the Bible teaches
about the Holy Spirit and then
seek His fullness and blessings in
our hearts and lives:
Strong convictions are a part
of Christian character. We -must
realize the difference, however,
. betwe-en.__legitimate convictions.
and personal prejudices. We
must be sure that • our
convictions • are based on an
understanding of the Word of
„god_
rat her f tiara on ,ou"r ow ' ,ur .
�• ot1T sf 0(( ons.
A Christian must have a very
• clear understanding, of the
nature and reality of sin. He
must realize that basically .sin is
disobedience to the revealed will, -
of God. In all of us there is a
"0 pull of the world, the flesh, and
the Devil, encouraging as to
think and do wrong things.
At all times Satan stands
ready•to entice us to evil, tempt
us .to do ,wrong, accuse us to,
God, and lead us astray,.. Paul
s speaks.. oL.,him as "the unseen
power that controls this- dark
world" •and ,mentions also
"spiritual 'agents from the very
"headquarters of evil" (Eph. -
'6:12). To deny the reality of
Satan is to court disaster. We are -
in the. grimmest of warfares with
' much at stake.
• One element in the Christian
character That stands oirt''clearly
to others is the unwillingness to
compromise on a principle. The
'Prophet Isaiah • liaid in
discouraging time's wren' there
was compromise With evil on
"every ,hand: In the tnidst of it all
the remained, true to God: "For
the Lord . .God helps
me...therefore I have set my •face
as..a flint, and'°I know that I shall
not be put to shame; he who
• vindicates me 'is near" (Isa.
50:7).
Every Christian .should, like
Isaiah, live in close communion
with. and obedience to God. This
is ahie.ved by trusting God..and
using the 'means of grace he has
given. Without _prayer and
'i Faithful Bible Study, no
Christian° can live as he should.
Failure to be informed and
instructed in the.things revealed
inOGod's •word leads to certain
defeat.
li
° Every Christian should 'live
gswith„, , confidence, hope . and
assurance, not in himself but in
the faithfulness and goodness of
God. God does not expect

New assessor
Barry Eastwood, head of the
Regional Assessment office
located in Huron- County, was
on' .the hot seat Friday as
members of • county council
questioned him about "certain
aspects of the .work done by -tris
office.
One . of the main areas of
concern seemed to be whose
responsibility it was to seek out
new assessment - the assessment
office or the local municipal
officials. ,
Eastwood told council it
would. take co-pperation
'between the two departments.
He said common sense would
dictate that it would be far too
costly for, , the assessment
department to crisscross the
county often enough to pick up
all the new assessment and -that 'a
'report from the municipal
questioned
people would be most -helpful.
" Eastwood noted that the full
impact of ' the provincial
equalized assessment system
would not be felt until 1974
when assessments will' be base
on real estate values. He claimed
this would , be a' more
satisfactory arrangement with
"the property owner having a
more ;generalized and easily
,understoOd scale to go by when
appealling assessment.
Eastwook 1. further suggested
that after 1974, the "complete
Assessment Act will be
rewritten"...but he admitted he
was "second' guessing the
government" in this regard.
Council will hear from
• Easjwood• again in' November
wh n - he will be' recalled to
council •for further questioning.
