Service to be held in Knox

memory of those sailors who
lost their lives -during the
greatest marine. disaster ever

It' was on Sunday November

sailors , were lost during the
raging storm. In Lake, Huron 24
ships were lost, eight of them
went down in they Goderich
..,area. They were the Wexford,.

100 persons took part and more
than 1500 persons attended.
So faras is known the first
service was conducted by Dr.
James Anderson in the spring
of 1903, that time known as the
Fishermens' and Sailors'
Service. In the spring of 19141;
Dr. George Ross, who had
officiated at the burial of 23
seamen who lost their lives in
the Great Storm, suggested
that; the service be named the
'Mariners' Service which would
include. everyone associated
with the Marine Trade.
The most appalling tribute to
the Great Storms' power was
the toll in human life --254 men
and women lost their lives; 481
of the 254 whose lives were lost
in the Great Storm were lost in
the rugged Lake Huron in the
Goderich area.
Probably one of ,the Strangest
facts of the Great Storm is the
'fact that apparently all ships
which sank in Lake Huron went
' down at the same time. Sailors
from different ships ' whose
bodies were washed ashore at
widely separated points and
who carried' watches, when
notes were .compared, it was
discovered that all watches had
stopped at the same time --1:25.
The Rev.• G.L. Royal,
moderator , of Knox
Presbyterian church, ' will

.y,
�/
Now, for a long -- time, 1
believed I was the only ,one
who felt like this, that I was
foo sensitive or `'imagirr�ng
these `nobody important'
feelings: However, within the
past short time, two others
have told me, on. their own
volition, that they, too, were
getting the same vibrations
from that place.
Ikk got another shack
recently when I was ° 1200
miles away from, my home
town. As is bound to happen,
one always runs into 'at least
one person who is an aunt of
your 'next door neighbor; or'
who has visited your town,
or has some connection in
one way or . ariother. Mo- stly
they have something com-
plimentary to say but this
time ° it was surprisingly
different. "Oh; yes!', said the
girl, "I know the town. One
of my friends moved there
last year and she says it's a
frightfully unfriendly, place
where old-time residents
resent new -comers." Well,
that wasji't exactly what I
wa.r, ed to hear, especially 'in
front of all the other, people`
who were there! But I've'
been thinking about it a
great deal since.
I'm sure we're not as•
friendly•or' caring as we used
to be... and. I'm sure it's the
same , wherever you live.
.We're too caught up and
busy in our own affairs to
give more than a quick nod
or a superficial smile to
those tib' meet. Seldom do
' we take the time anymore to
stop ,long enough to really
look at people, listen to them
and make them feel like
somebody we're interested
in.
How different was Jesus'
approach. Everyone was
important .to Him.; the hated
little tax collector, the
prostitute, the woman at the
ive thousand Who
welt,
were tired and hungry.•.all
whom He met. He not only
made them feel like
'Somebody', 1-fe showed
them they 'were' important
to God...so , important that
He was willing to take on.
their sins and tiie for\them.
By using His great
example, surely we can
show a little more concern
arid4 love for everyone
around . us be they family,
friends, . strangers, or
customers.
