It is very fitting especially
during this. Advent season that.
there is a movement among the
churches to get back to the real
mission of the Christian
Church, why was Jesus born?
Why did God send His only
Son into the world? Paul says,
"This iz '4 faithful saying and
Worthy of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus came• • into the
world 'to psave sinners."
And, of course,, we are all sin-,
vers. This was the message of
the early church. Millions have.
been saved because of this type
of preaching. But for, a long
time the message has been
watered down, and the church
has not been the force it might
have been. Now there is a plea.
to the ministers to, call the
p
teoyl{
lleeyt a repentance,
entance,same
,c 1

Perhaps before we embark
upon this campaign to bring the
people back to the old time
religion of repentance and
salvation, we ministers should
do some real soul . searching.
Revival must begin in one's
own heart before we try to win
others.
Let us look at Isaiah. He had
a vision of The Throne. of God.
He heard the voice of God. God
wanted a man to speak to His
people about their sin.
God, was asking "Whom shall
I send? Who will go for me?"
Isaiah felt the call, and an-
swered "Here am .I send me."
But Isaiah had to confess, "I
am a man of unclean lips". -But
God cleansed the lips with 'a
live coal from off the Altar. A
Symbol of the Blood of Christ
as applied to our sinful. hearts.
So then the preacher must
confess his own
unrighteousness and receive
the Salvation from The Lord,
before he can go to others.
Then we have Amos. He too,
heard the call orn God to9
g
to the people _ d warn them of
their sins. Am, : was untrained,
but he ptrssesse - traits that are
sadly lackin in many .hearts.
Amos was man of deep
humility. Thi is a must for any-
preac o dares to proclaim.-,
God'% Word,
Amos,confessed,."I am only a
herdsman and a gatherer of
fruit. But, my God called me,
and sent me as I followed the
flock." (Amos,7-14)
Jesus chose His Disciples
from a humble calling, but
their secret was in being on in-
tinrate 'terms with their Master.
So the preacher of today, if he
is to call his people to repreh- •
Lance, must fist of all know'
Jesus s Christ'
ts
Saviour
and
Lord, and be in daily com- -
" tnu pion with -Him
There is much" false teaching
in the world today. The Bible
has been under attack, but it is
still God's. Word, any departure
from it tr i s wi , only i s u h !l n y bring
misery doubt and despair.
• Jesus said many years ago, I
am come that they might have
life; and have it mare abundan-
tly."
May we all search our hearts
in the light of God's word, and
not lean upon some others'
theories in this vital matter of'
Salvation unto Eternal life.
Ugan4ans�re helped -
Funds totalling $73,000 are
being made available to 12
committees which have been
established across the country
to assist the Uganda Asians set-
tling in Canada.
The committees are com-
posed of federal and provincial
government representatives as
well as representatives of
established voluntary agencies
, and the Asian community. The
committees, formed by the
Department of the Secretary of
State in. cooperation with the.
Department of Manpower and
Immigration and provincial
authorities, ' will receive
amounts that will vary accor-
ding to the number of Uganda
Asians settling in each cdm-
rnunity.
In cooperation with Canada
' Manpower Centres and • the
field staff of the Department of
the Secretary Qf State, the com-
mittees have been providing
such essential services as fin-
ding employment, and accom-
modation, an information ser-
vice, social activities and orien-
tation programs on life in
Canada.
Orientation programs will
become a more. important
aspect of the committees' work'
once the immediate . needs of
the immigrants are .met. Most
of the newcomers have arrived
without money or warm clothes
and with few possessions. As
furnished accommodation is
hard to find in many areas, the
committees have been collec-
ting „ furniture and kitchen
equipment. Along with these
problems, there is a general
need in all cities to find per-
manent accommodation.
Funds currently being sup-
plied tothe Uganda Asian com-
mittees are. for a .six month
period only. Following this, the
work of the committees will be
reviewed to determine if fur-
ther programs are required.

r C.D.
Wiseman, leader of phi
Salvation Army In Canada,
.suggests that probably the
vision of The Army most people
have , at Christmas is of
carollers singing and playing in
the streets, and Christmas ket-
'tles into which money is thrown
to help the poor!
• Y
There is deep and grateful
appreciation for the -way
generous Canadians support
The Army the year 'round, but
the Commissioner hopes The
Army's presence will represent
more .than kettles and carols!
"We want people to listen
again to the original Christmas
carols" the Commissioner states
in his message. "More than
ever before J he world needs to
hearae
nd heed the, angel chruso
,
"Glory ,oto God' in" the highest,
and on earth peace, goodwill
toward en".
"UntillC od is recognized as
'the Highest' there can't be true,
peace in the world. We• worship
at the altars of hedonism, sex,
alcohol, material possessions.
For multitudes these things
force God out to the margins' of
living. In fact, many barely give
Him a thought from one year's
end to another," he said.
"The tragedy is that. when
