Martin Luther was a man of intense MINI9TFRsS STUDY faith. He believed deeply in God. He started out to become a lawyer and would have been a brilliant one! But one day on his way home, he was struck down by a bolt of lightning. Terrified, he vow- ed to become a monk. Despite this poor reason and in spite of his father's wishes, he entered a monastery in 1505. Luther began a pilgrimage, a journey that all of us could learn from. He began a search for God that often ended in despair. He first tried to find peace with God through doing good deeds. He would starve himself, often for days. He would go without blankets through cold nights. He would pray hour after hour after hour. But - he could not find peace with God. For years Luther taught at the University of Wittenburg and yet for a time, he did not experience peace. But then Luther began to understand the Bible when it says, "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself." For the first time Luther realized that it isn't by good deeds that you get to know God but rather through faith in Jesus Christ. What a revelation! He was still sin- ful and yet Christ loved him" enough to die for him. Luther embraced this good news and for the first time in his life discovered peace and joy and freedom. ' He no longer had to try to earn his salvation. All he had to do was to place his faith and trust in Christ alone. This he did and out of that great discovery Luther became a great Christian leader in the Reformation. What was true for Luther is true also for you. You can- not earn the right to get to Heaven. You cannot, by be- ing good, hope to know God personally. NO! You too must trust Christ each day to save and keep you. You must trust hiin day by day to help you through life. You can know Christ! Luther wasn't perfect. He had a violent temper. He disliked Jews. He was often crude and blunt. But he was a man of faith! ! Compas- sionate, humorous, humble! - and he knew God through faith in Christ. You're not perfect. You never will be. But if you want to know Christ and live the Christian life, you too need to BUSINESS DIRECTORY R.W.

A regular meeting of ' the Huron County Genealogical Society was held October 6. Dr. Roy Lomas of Goderich was guest speaker and gave a most interesting• and in- formative presentation on "Genetics and Genealogy". Genetics is important in some diseases and also in- fluences our longevity. Each person has 50,000 genes with three recl3ssiVe genes capable of producing a genetic .,disease if coupled with their spouse's recessive gene for .that particular trait. Statistically, one per- cent of thepopulation suffers from a genetic disease although not necessarily disabling. An example of us- ing genetics to assist in trac- ing your ancestory is Mediterranean Anemia. "If you should discover this trait in your fa><hily,chances are that you had an ancestor who originated from one of the Mediterranean countries: Italy, Africa, southern China. It does not exist in the Scandinavian countries. Mystery prize for the evening was a vase won by Yvonne Porter of Goderich. Monthly meetings of -the Huron County Genealogical Society are held , the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the board room at the Assessmenf--OfficC Building, 57 Napier. Street, Goderich. Guests are always welcome.

GODERICH ELEVATORS LIMITED Honor mothers-in-law Mothers-in-law, who have been shunned, tormented, belittled and subjected to endless bad jokes, will be honored in Canada and the United States on Sunday, Oc- tober 24. Celebration of the fourth Sunday in October as Mother -in -Law's Day was launched in 1977 by the Florists' Transworld Delivery Association (FTD), the 20,000 -member co- operatively owned florist wire and membership ser- vice. FTD sponsored the "day" when its own studies 'found that contrary to popular belief, most people love and admire their mothers-in-law and disagree with the stereotype of an interfering, nagging shrew. Abuse of mothers-in-law goes back a long way. In some primitive societies, it was believed that if , . a mother-in-law Saw or spoke to her son-in-law, his children would be born dead. Indians in the Yucatan cen- turies ago were convinced that if a son-in-law saw "that" woman, he wouldn't even be able to beget children. And there was an old Navaho Indian belief that a manwould be blinded if he saw his mother-in-law, taus- ' ing villages to resound with warning cries when a mother-in-law was on the move. French historian Francois Parfaict added to the tor- ment with this line: "Of all men, Adam was the hap- piest; he had no mother-in- law." F. typical joke 'goes, "My, mother-in-law is like all the others = noisy yacketty- yack; just another mouth to. heed. FTD has found quite dif- ferent feelings. One son-in- law said, "If my wife ever throws me out of the house, I'll run home to her mother." A daughter-in-law summed up what many feel: "We share many good times together, and enjoy each other's company. She is always there when needed, be it happy or sad moments, doing and saying the right thing at the right time." Still another daughter-in- law said: "Mother is a word for love; in-law just means we found it later." Modern mothers-in-law often are busy women with active lives and neither the time nor the inclination to in- terfere in the affairs of their sons- and daughters-in-law. As one observer said, "they don't go looking for dust in the homes of their married children; they have their own dust to worry about." Among the first efforts to honor mothers-in-law was a Mother -in -Law's Day celebrated for a few years in the 1930s in Amarillo, Texas. A newspaper publisher pro- moted the festivities after he had' upset his own mother-in- law, who het -referred to as the "Standing Army," in one of his columns. The 1938 celebration attracted 125,000 visitors to Amarillo, in- cluding then First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who was presented with a bouquet of 5,000 roses weighing 2,500 pounds. The. U.S. House of Representatives in 1981 passed a resolution to. of- ficially make the fourth Sun- day in October, Mother -in - Law's Day, in the U.S.A. A similar resolution is pending in the U.S. Senate.' Joni Thompson and Kim Baechler were wed on,August 21 at North Street United Church, ' Goderich, with the Reverend John Wood officiating. The maid of honour was Dianne Izzard and bridesmaids were Lori Thompson and Heidi Baechler. The best man was John Sinclair and the ushers were Gary Collins and Keith Howard. After 'a honeymoon to .the Cayman Islands, the couple is residing in London. R.J.
