A few Sundays ago at our
church we held a service of
song - during which we sang
several new hymns, and some
old-time favorites, too.
The new ones have ' a
joyousness about them that
lifts the soul but- it's the old
ones that stir memories.
'Shall We Gather at the
River' was one we sang.. You
won't find it in too many hymn
books anymore; most modern}
congregations would•discard it
for ,being too fanciful or poetic
to have much meaning. But it
was - popular with our
forebearers who derived great
comfort from it after it was
published around 1864.
.44t was written by Dr. Robert
Lowry while an epidemic was
raging in Brooklyn. His mind
was much on death as many of
his friends and relatives had.
been suddenly called froin their
homes and 'loved ones. Amidst
that scene of sorrow, the words
and -music were composed as an
expression from his heart.
To me this hymn recalls an
incident from my early
'childhood on an isolated
• Saskatchewan farm. At that
time there were no hospitals
within miles and sick people
were treated in their homes by
their families and 'a dedicated
young doctor who covered the
vast territory by .touring -car
when possible, or ' by horse
where necessary.
One spring evening a call
" came to otic home for my
parents to go. to a neighbor's
place where a young farmer
lay dying. They hurried away
and I remember waking late in
the night to hear them retur-
ning bringing with ' them the
man's youthful widow and tiny
daughter.
It was my first brush with
death and I recall the anguish I
felt hearing the soft sobbing of
the woman as my parents tried
to comfort her. Listening to
their whispered words, the.
event was so vividly etched in
my mind that I have never
forgotten it. Apparently, just
minutes before he passed away
this young man wakened from
a coma and sang in his once
strong baritone voice the words
of 'Shall We Gather .at the
River' from beginning to end.
The remarkable thing was
that° he never appeared to be a
religious man... certainly not
a church -going one. Yet, at the
moment he was breathing his
last, something from his past
(he came from England).
flooded back to -,him so strongly
that he was able to serenely
place himself in the hands and
protection ,of God.
The early settlers knew much
_Of sorrow .. walk-through any
old cemetery and see the, rows
of small. tombstones marking
the graves of children struck by
one of the plagues we now con-
trol'. Or read the lamentable
words on other stones of young
women who died hearing their
young and .we know these
pioneers were all too familiar
with grief. Yet, in their grief
they found strength.
There is a growing skepticsm
%day ' even amongst church
'people. The popular motto
seems to he, 'Eat, drink and be
merry 'for tomorrow we die.'
What an utterly sad and
hopeless .outlook.

PROCLAMATION
To honour Canada, our land cre ed by the fusion of
two' founding cultures, enriched the contribution of
many other cultures, Pathe of all Canadians;
To honour this country, home of over 22,000,000
people, proud of their heritage and the -.freedom they
enjoy;
To honour this land of peace.. and prosperity, this
promised land of untold resources;
To honour this country which is ours, of which we all
dre proud, I hereby proclaim the week of June 24 to July

Thus I invite the citizens of the Town of Goderich to
celebrate it by striving tp know our country better, by

away the thought of a life to
come and this life loses its
values. Take away the idea
that this life is a discipline and
{a preparation for a greater life
to come and the bonds of all
honour and morality are
loosened. The man who
believes that thin is the only
world will inevitably live as if
'the things of this World are all_
that matter.'
Paul, in his first letter to the'
Corinthians, says in effect that
to say there is no resurrection
is not a sign of superior
knowledge; it is a sign of utter
ignorance of God.
Our forefathers i'n the church
placed their trust in a better
life beyond this one. They ac-
cepted the dangers and the
• perils of life .because of their
belief. Many of their hymns
echoed this philosophy: And it
wasn't just pie in the sky as
many moderns try to make us
believe.
Perhaps if rte stressed .this
philosophy More,. in the
Christian teaching of our young
it would be a source of strength
and comfort to them also on a
day when they may have to face
death themselves or the loss of,
El beloved one.'
