arvest time
Harvesttime is a happy time
of year, we are reminded of
Thanksgiving dinner, of family
"get-togethers", of Harvest.
Festivals and church auction
sales. It is a time set aside to
remember: God's goodness,
bounty and blessing upon us. It
is -a season of Thanks _to-God,.SG-
often for our material blessing,
the THINGS of Life that we en-
joy.
But is it possible that the gifts
often obscure the, Giver?
Our lives are so made up of
things - we even measure a man
by things - his clothes, (is'he in
"style?), his car, his colour TV,
his cottage, boat, freezer, hi-fi,
and suddenly things are more
important than people.
Often we even find that things -
become . more important than
God, and his claim° upon our
lives. Many neglect God for en-
tertainment, ` many neglect a
close walk with God for
business, many refuse time for
God for family or friends and so.
the things of life crowd , out
LIFE 'in Jesus Christ. .
Things - even good things are
a poor substitute for Christ, for
a holy life and godly interests
and purpose in living.
' Thi g s . ay.,.,.
destroyed, things do not last
forever.
Dr. 'Ephraim Hettinger,
Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist
Church, Plymouth, Penn-
sylvania, writing in "The Sword
of the Lord" magazine tells in
vivid detail of the greatest
natural disaster in America in
recent floods (June, 1972) in
WyomineValley, Penn.
The ' normally placid
Susquehanna Riyer fed by
'billions of gallons of rain rose
40.6 -feet. A reporter on the site
wrote: "It's something out of a
horror movie, a ` desolate,
muddy, debris -clogged jungle of
mangled buildings, gutted stores
and broken dreams." `•
The flood resulted in 80,000
evacuees, 20,000 homeless.
Plymouth was isolated for five
days, no wa,er, heat, power or
telephones. .
Life's treasures, sentimental
heirlooms, furniture, and collec-
tions were literally taken to the
dump = if found at- all.
Businesses that took a
lifetime to build and homes that
were dreams of many families
were destroyed in minutes.
Dr. Hettinger writes "The
people of Wyoming Valley
discovered to their regret that
material possessions, no matter
how great or sensational, can be
wiped out overnight."
The Lord Jesus Christ told of
a man who faced a similar in-
cident. In Luke 12:16-21, we
find recorded the words of Jesus
depicting the very same thing we
have been sharing together..
The Lord Jesus told of a man
who was rich -selfish -greedy.
His wealth became his god and
while he was wealthv beyond
measure he gave nothing to man
and less -to God..
He built more barns, bigger
storage areas, big hank ac-
counts, more for self;' more
ttl,ings.things and things until'
one night - so unexpectedly,
"God said, unto him, Thou fool,
this night' thy . soul . shall be
required of thee: then whose
shall those THINGS be which
thou hast provided?" •
Then..Jesus=:warns
that laveth up treasure for him-
self, and is not RICH TOWARD
GOD"
Friends, God' has 'a better way'
than this for you. God has
something special for • every
born-again, believer in the Lord
Jesus Christ. Peter writing to
Christians says:
"Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
which, according to his abun-
dant mercy, hath begotten us
again (born again John 3::3)
unto a lively hope, 'by the
resurrection of .Jesus Christ from
the dead, to an inheritance, in-
corruptable, undefiled, and that
fadeth not away, reserved in
heaven for you", Peter 1:3-4.
Yes, the born-again Christian
has more than the things of this
life. Things can decay, burn, ¶e
stolen, broken or ruined but not
our inheritance in Christ.
Things can never satisfy the.
{-,z.�r------
the emptiness and change . of
time. Things cannot take away
our guilt before. God, quiet our
fears, assure us of eternity, save
us from ..Judgment, things will
finally either leave us, or we
will leave them..
But Jesus never leaves is, in
c. time or in eternity (Heb. 13:5).
Friend, are you rich toward
God, do you know Jesus Christ
as your personal Savior froni
sin, condemnation and hell?. If
your soul were required tonight,
are you re.ady to meet God's
• If you are, praise God, live for
Jesus and work- for souls but .if
not, will you not receive Christ
now.. •,
- The Bible, God's Word
declares "Repent ye therefore
and be converted that your sins
may he blotted. out" Acts 3:19.
The "Bible says "Believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shalt be saved" Act 16:31.
God's Word says "For
whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall he
, saved'' Rom. 10:13, '
Will you repent, believe
Christ as your substitute on the
cross, will you call_on Jesus, now
and accept His offer of
.Salvation today? •
"For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten
Son that whosoever believeth in
Him should not perish but have
everlasting life. For God sent
not His Son into the world to
condemn the world, hut that the
world through Him might he
saved. He that believeth ori Him
is not condemned: but he that
believeth not , is condemned
already ... " John 3;16-18.
"The .Lord is ... not willing
that any should perish hut that
all should come to repentance"
2 Peter 3:9.
God bless you all!

Bishop Queen conducts
Anglican Harvest Service
Harvest Thanksgiving ser-
vices at St. George's Church last
Sunday featured a visit by the
Rt. Rev. Carmen J. Queen,
Bishop of Huron.
Bishop Queen met with the
Board of Management for an in-
formal discussion of church
matters over breakfast in the
parish hall. He outlined plans
which• the Diocese has to
develop stewardship program-
ming with •lay leadership. This
would follow a pattern which
has been very successful in the
Diocese of Toronto.
At the 11 o'clock service
Bishop Queen was celebrant at
tl
the Holy Communion and gave
the sermon.- He urged the
congregation to take personal
responsibility in the program of
renewal `which is going on in the
Christian Church today.
_,ey coffee hour after service
provided an opportunity for the
members of the parish to" meet
the Bishop. The breakfast and
coffee hour were arranged
through the catering group of
the Anglican Churchwomen. ,
The church was tastefully
decorated with flowers, fruit
and coloured leaves by the
members of the Chanced Group.

On Wednesday and Thursday
(September 27th and 28) the
Thessalon and Manitoulin Cat-
tle Sales were held under very
good conditions: Auctioneer
Vern Shepherdson, ' New
Liskeard sold the 1025 head at
Thessalon and the 2681 head at
M'ai1'itonttrr'q'ni
buyers who bid briskly and kept
the prices strong.
There was a good demand for
heifers, artd at Thessalon there
was little difference in price.
The top heifer price was fora
lot of calves which brought
$47.25 Good 'steer calves sold in
the $46. range. Heavy steers
over 800 lbs. brought $33.50 to
$36.25.
At Manitoulin, the prices were
c' similar. Steer calves brought
Luke 6:13 �. (I Sam. 3:9).
Many people fail to disti.n-. Before we can do or say any $47.50; heifer calves $36.25;
thing for God,' then, we must'lis--
ten to God. This explains why
the xeadiiag and study of the Word
of God is so important. -
First, salvation itself comes
by hearing and believing God's
Word, especially about Christ,
and His death for our sins. Rom,
10:17. says: "Faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the Word
of God,'' and -1 Pet. 1:23: "Being
'born again, not hof C`orr'iiptibte
seed, but of incorruptible, by the
Word of 'God, which liveth and
ahideth forever.'" Then, having
boon saved, we can serve Gdd
acceptably only by diligent study
of His Word. Perhaps the most
important passage in the Bible
on this subject is II Tim. 2:15
—Study to show thyself ap-
proved unto God; a workman that'
-needeth not to be ashamed, right-
ly dividirig the Word of Truth."

Now is a good time to tran-

Throw away old, diseased sec-
tions of the roots.
Bulbs, such as tulips, daf-
fodils and hyacinths, can be
planted now for your spring gar-
den. They will have plenty of
time to develop strong root
systems -before, winter. If you
plan on using the bulbs in a bor-

There have been numerous.in-
