W.N.McWHINNIE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH I wonder if you know that the Bible mentions the word "boy" only three times; the word "girl" only twice; and the word, "lass," not at all. The word "lad," however, occurs 34 times, and the word "child" about 180 times. We read of a proper child, and pleasant child, a sleeping child, a child that.sneezed, a ,child that was vyeaned, a child tha:t cried, a poor child, a wise an,enly child, a growing child; a sick child,'ancl'a child that'vvas healed. We read of a child whose mother Was warned not to - drink wine or strong drink, and we read of men Who were warned not to sin against a child. We read, too, of a poor child who was adopted by a. princess;'and of a child whose parellts prayed for guidance as to how best to train the boy committed to -their care. ,And we read of a child who had a •severe headache, and who was carried, to, his- tnother, because the father felt that at such a time a boy's best friend is his mother. It would seem that the child of long ago, was pretty much like the childof our day. There are to be found still, the goodly child, the • child that complains of a hea4clache on a hot day, the thi1d,that cries, the child that is adopted', the 'only child, the growing child, the child that loves Bible stories, the (sometimes) naughty child, and even the child that sneezes seven times. As to the naughty child. Solomon has this to,, say: "Leave -not your chilun- punished; if you whip him, you save him from death. You must whip him with the rod, and so preserve his life." When a certain father reminded his son of that, the boy replied, "But he never said. that until he was growed up!" .1 can't forgertlfat- a famous schoolmaster, when asked what he would do in the case of an unruly boy, said: "I'd thrash the text: "The child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli." It is not: "The child Samuel ministered unto. Eli before the Lord." 1 like the story of the man who applied for •a job in a 'factory. The foreMan told him that lie had scarcely enough work for the men already employed. "0," said the mark., "the bit of work that I would do wouldn't make any difference," The child Samuel served the ,Lord, and, therefore, there would not be slacking, .• or shoddy Work. There would be the best, and only tile best. And I must certainly find room for these words: O "And Jesus called a litt child unto Him." He is doing that today. "And Jesus took a child, and set him in the midst of them, and when He had taken hirn in His arms, He said unto them, whosoever shall receive one of such chi4dren in my name receiveth Me, and whosoever shall receive Me, ceivetha' not Me, but Him that sent me." Goderich, couple buried same day A well-known Goderich couple passed aW'ay last weekend in Maitland Manor Nursing Home. Walter "Bounce" Heitman died November 26 at age 85. His wife, Mrs. Ethel G.
