Dear Editor,
Using the popular "Good
News Bible" one can acquire
pertinent information to
satisfactorily answer your
questions and observations
contained in your recent
"Dear Readers" column.
For instance, Revelation 1,
verses 1 to 3, read: "This
book is the record of the
events that Jesus Christ
revealed. God gave him this
revelation in order to show to
his servants what must hap-
pen very soon. Christ made
these things known to his
stakant John by sending his
and to him, and John has
told all that he has seen. This
is his report concerning the
message from God and the
truth revealed by Jesus
Christ." Indicating that God
and Jesus Christ are two
separate and distinct in-
dividuals.
Paul says at First Corin-
thians 1:30: "God has
brought you into union with
Christ Jesus, and God has
made Christ to be our
wisdom. By him we are put
right with God.." In full har-
mony with this, Proverbs 8
speaks of Wisdom ( v.1) :
"The LORD created me first
of all; the first of his works,
long ago. I was made at the
very beginning before the
world began, ... before the
oceans ..."before God made
the fields. I was there when
he set the sky in place ... I
was there when he laid the
earth's foundations, I was
beside him like an architect.
I was daily his source of joy,
always happy in 'his
presence -, happy with the
world and pleased wit, the
human race." ( Prov. 8: 22-
31).
Would this not indicate.'
that Jesus, the Christ, was a
created individual, the se-
cond greatest Personage of
the universe? Paul's letter to
th'e Colossians states:
"Christ is the visible
likeness of the invisible God.
He is the first-born Son,
superior to •al1 created
things. For through him God
created everything ... He is
the' first-born Son." (Colos-
sians 1: 15-18).
Jesus' own testimony is:
"The living Father sent me,
and because of him I live
also." (John 6:57) "I told
"you that no one can come to
me unless the Father makes
it possible for hirn to do so."
(John 6:65). "The one who
honors me is my, Father - the
very one you say is your
God. You have. never known
hirn, but I know him." (John
8:54,55). "The Father loves
me because I am willing to
give up my life, in order that
I may receive it back again.
No one takes my life away
from me. I give it up of my
own free will. I have the
right to give it up, and I have
the right to take it back. This
is'what my Father has com-
manded me to do." (John
10:17,18).
In instructing his disciples
how to pray, Jesus made of
first importance his Father's
.name and kingdom: "Our
Father in heaven: May your
holy name be honored; may
your kingdom come; may
your will be done on earth as
it is in heaven.". ,( Matthew
6:9,10). Is it 'honoring' the
name of Almighty God to
remove that name from the
text of his own Word? and
substituting a title which, ac- •
cording to Cruden's Concor-
dance could be "used for
ANY ONE whom it was
desired to address diferen-
tially."?
L
TTERS
In the Good News Bible, a
footnote on page 68 reads as
follows: "THE LORD, see
3:14. Where the Hebrew text
has Yahweh, traditionally
translated Jehovah, this
translation employs. LORD
with capital letters, follow-
ing a usage which is
widespread in English ver-
sions." Contrast this 'usage'
with Jesus' own words: "I
have made your name
known to those you gave me
out of the world. They
belonged to you, and you
gave them, to me." ( John
17:6).
THE KINGDOM: At times
the term "kingdom" is ap-
plied to the one in the Scrip-
tures, Christ, who has the
rank, quality, attributes and
authority of a king. ie.
"From that time Jesus
began to preach his
message: "Turn away from
your sins, because the
Kingdom of heaven is near."
( Matthew 4:17) "Kingdom"
is also used to refer to the
realm over which the
Kingdom government exer-
cises control. "Then the end
will come; Christ will over-
come all spiritual rulers,
Korean students
seek pen pals
through teacher
Dear Editor,
It is my great pleasure to
write to you. I hope you will
be pleased to accept my
appeal regarding pen pals.
I am an English teacher in
a noted high school in Pusan,
Korea. This school} has bout
2,500 students of both sexes. I
am eagerly seeking students
who would like to correspond
with our students. There are
many Korean students who
want to exchange letters and
friendship with foreign pen
friends and they .frequently
request me to try to arrange
an exchange of addresses of
Canadian students.
Throughout my foreign
language teaching career, I
notice this not only helps
their English and emotional
life but also expands their
'knowledge of foreign lands.
This would also promote
world-wide friendship and

mutual relationships as well
as serving as a true foun-
dation of world peace.
I feel it is necessary to
publish this wish among the
boys and girls of the world,
therefore, I courteously
request you to run this letter'
in your valuable paper.
The information I need'is:
student's name, address,
sex, age. hobbies anda
picture if possible. I hope to
receive many letters from
your readers, wishing to
correspond with our
students.
I will appreciate it very
much if you let me have the
chance to do this for my
students. This would be a
watm and thoughtful favor.
Sincerely yours,

authorities and powers, and
will hand over the Kingdom
to God the Father. For
Christ must rule until God
defeats all enemies and puts
them under his feet. The last
enemy to be defeated will be
death. For the Scripture
says, "God will put all things
under his feet." It is clear, of
course, that the words "all
things" do not include God
himself, who puts all things
under Christ. But when all
things have been placed
under Christ's rule, then he
himself, the Son, will place
himself under God, who
placed all things under him;
and God will rule completely
over all." (1 Corinthians 15:
24-28).
What, then, must one con-
clude? That the "Christiani-
ty" that is operating today
under that designation is not
the Christianity that was
founded by Christ Jesus. I
fervently wish that another
conclusion could be arrived
at, but how?

Dear Editor,
Let's think about our .
Huron County Pioneer
Museum.
Ah, yes now!
The former Clinton Radar
Station lies adjacent to the
east of Highway 4, approx-
imately two miles south of
Clinton, at the crossroads of
Highway 4 and 8, known as
the Hub of Huron.
In this county we have the
thriving town of Exeter, the
exciting theatre town of
Blyth with its ownfine in-
dustries, and as far north to
Wingham, the CKNX-TV
town, and many more in-
teresting and vital com-
munities. We are bordered
east and west by the finest
farmland in Canada. Good
motels, restaurants and ac-
commodations are found
generously spread
throughout the area.
ilsanastra is a small
village -like community that
offers the 'services of an ex-
cellent recreation centre,
child daycare, a public
school with an extension of
Conestoga . College, a new
curling rink, a community
church, Heather Gardens
and a large arena used by
Seaforth last year while
building.their own arena.
The residential area con-
tinues to assert itself as a
comfortable friendly place
to live. We have paved
streets and walk ways,
street lights, three play
parks, good Clinton water,
sewage service and cable TV
if so desired.
Through hard work and
dedication, 'several
businesses prevail; despite
gallant efforts, others .have

failed.
From Highway 4 ,can be
seen a large three wing,
three storey red brick
building. This building with
a new roof and some general
refurbishing could provide a
fine home for Huron County
Pioneer Museum. It would
provide plenty of room for
excellent displays, both in-
doors and outdoors and
spacious visitor parking.
As with every project
there would be a cost involv-
ed. Money would be well
spent to create jobs, pro-
viding the dignity of a pay
cheque in place of charitable
handouts. This project could
result in the revitalization of
the,area.
The artifacts in the
museum come from all over
the county. A bedspread,,.

great aunt comes to mind,.

tions of family and friends.
Let's ponder some of the
things we . cherish; an old
hand corn planter, a measur-
ing stick to calculate the
board feet of lumber in a log,
a funny three -footed iron -us-
ed for family shoe repair, a
jagged hay knife, a cast iron
tea kettle from the Orient,
beautiful china biscuit jars,
lovely glass and silver pieces
and so on.
I sincerely hope I have
stirred your memories and
sparked an awareness in the
future of the Huron County
Pioneer Museum.
Yours truly,
Helen C. Rathwell,
4 Regina Street,
Vanastra.
