The Goderich Signal-Star, 1974-08-08, Page 21M-, C.) Do you ---know :that the- Christian he-Christian life is not an easy ticket to heaven?' • Mind you it is the only way to reach that state: The Bible $. says, 'neither isfthere salvation, in any other: for there is, none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we most be saved' .(Acts '4:12) If we think pf the- Christian way of life. as an easy life -with no problems, no testing of tem- perment - no enduring of hear - 'tache - sorrow - we are sadly mistaken. The only thing, that the Christian life promises us is that Christ - the Son of God -the One who- gave his life for us, will be with us at all times. His last words to the disciples were 'Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.' (Matthew 28:20) --- His promise that the Spirit of God would 'he our constant. com- panion in life if we -choose to live the life of a Christiap. When we say we wish to live the Christian life there are cer- tain things required .of us. We must realize that God does in-• deed exist in Spirit and that he loves you and I .a.s individual people. He sent his: Son - Jesus Christ to clie for us,- and it is only with the shedding of his (Jesus') blood, on the cross of calvary, that there, can be' remission, or the taking away, of our sins. We must believe that salvation comes only by ..our faith in this work of Jesus. The • BY SHIRLEY J: KELLER Last of the Red Hot Lovers Wits the offering last week at Huron Country Playhouse and inthis writer's opinion, was the best of the three plays seen so 'far this, season, A huge tip of the hat goes to Bab Windsor who played Bar- ney Cashman, the aging fish restaurant owner who wanted so desperately to have an extra= marital affair before he settled into the role of a grandfather and middle aged frump. Once in `a while Bob Windsor forgot his lines, but even that didn't deter from the really humorous. dialogue in the script and the "too obvious •.but still enter: taming` plot. : Three attempts'were trade by ` Cash'inan to woo and to :win a mistress All ended in failure. -The first, an experienced and very eager Elaine Navazio (played by, Marilynn Harris.) • put poor Barney . off his mark. The second, a self-centred• glamor girl B'rs'bbi Michele (played by Kathleen Forget) .didn't stop talking long enough to give Barney an opening. And the third, a nervous and cynics) friend of ` his wife, 'JeanetteFisher (played 111,;. the wonder- ful Joao. Hanna) . told Barney outrightshe did not find`" him physically attractive and would have no part of, any . hanky- . panky anky- panky he might have in mind.. Marilynn Harris was new to this writer and was pure -.delight to the entire audience. • The dialogue between her and Barney 'moved .along quickly and easily, lines were brisk, em- phasis clear. Kathleen Forget was' at the playhouse, last year' and" retur- ned in Last of the Red ,'Hot Lovers with a flourish. As the buxom, boring Bobbi she was absolutely terrific. Of course, Joan Hanna can do no wrong. The first lady of Huron Country Playhouse made Barney Cashman come alive for the third and final act. Even ' with all the activity of "the chase" on stage, Joan •Hanna kept the dialogue run- ning smoothly and convin- cingly. ` But the real star of the per- formance had to be Bob Wind- sor who made the audience un- derstand Barney Cashman and the reason -for his mads scram- ble for romance. Windsor played to the people packed into the playhouse seats and they responded ° with full measure of appreciation. This week's show i.s. Marriage -Go -Round. Unfor- tunately, I: won't be attending this one because a rigorous schedule makes it impossible. I will get down for the final play, Ten Nights in a Bar -Room, a melodrama and a, change of ..pace for the playhouse cast. According to the program, Ten .Nights in• a Bar -Room was first produced. in England more than a century ago and "swept " its audiences into a frenzied state of despair".• "You too will despair at the ' corrupting influence of spirits on our young manhood; .at .the agonizing sight of men irr the throes of the D.T.s'; at the lamentable death • 'of a drunkard's little daughter; and you will cheer the return of man to the ways. of sobriety;', the program says. "You'll love it", the program promise's. Also when I attend ' next week, I'll"be sampling. 'the Cuisine at the playhouse dining room. The stable in the barn on the location •h'as been transfor- med 'into a quaint' dining room and it here that dinner is ser ved Friday and Saturday nights before the shdw. If you haven't been to• the playhouse this season, do make an effort to go.'"It is a worth- while outing and will give much' deserved support to •Huron's only summer playhouse.

This morning, as my corn- panion and .I ate our breakfast we looked out ottthe vast ex'- panse of Lake Huron with Its placid waters rolling and par- , ting on- the beach below the 'cliff.

The great sun shone down warmly from an infinite motionless sky and the peace of what, my eye captured washed over me to batheme in a deep 'serenity I always feel when I'm here at our tiny .lakeside hideaway. Then, with no warning the wind blew stronger. The lake, darkened, its way,e,t, becoming onimous. From across the horizon a menacing black cloud approached with • amazing speed.
