ALICE HUYCK 524-8610 Again when we examine Paul's life, we can see for ourselves what challenges the MINISTER'S STUDY great apostle was called to face. Not all of us will face such taxing demands but a few might be called to lay down their lives for their faith in Christ. Before we become Christians, Jesus tells us to count the costPaul writes of his experience in 2 Cor, 12:24-28. "From the Jews I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked a night and a day I have been in thf.deep journeys often, in perils of water, in Perils .of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness, often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and' nakedness - besides the other things what comes upon 'me daily: my deep concern for all the chur- ches." When 1 first read this, I recoiled with hor- ror at the degree of training required to meet this challenge. I knew I was no match for, the task. I hadn't got the spiritual muscle to cope with the daily obstacles of •life, let alone finish the race, However, I could not ignore the inner voice which kept saying, "I am the way the truth and the life, no one cometh to the Father but by me" and in committing myself to this, I have found that he trains me to run the race to cross the obstacles and I know beyond a shadow of doubt that eventually that He enable me to cross the finishing line. Paul says, "I count all things lost. for the sake of personally knowing Jesus Christ". Do you know him too? s limitation through a program of rigorous training. . • Often after he has. done his. best, he is beaten in the race but the most important thing is not to be first at the finish bat to faee the challenge and complete the course. In my opinion an athlete is a winner if he does his best in meeting and overcoming the challenge confronting him. The apostle Paul, when he writes abotit the Christian life, pictures himself as an athlete in a race. In his valedictory in 2 Tim. 4:7 he says, I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith." The' race of life was a tough one for Paul. He began it as a zealous Jew, by viciously persecuting the Christians in Jerusalem. Following his conversion experience on the Damascus road and his subsequent conver- sion by Ananias, he spent three years meditating in the wilderness. During this period he got his head straight about who Jesus is and what he wanted him to do. It would seem to me that these truths are essential for Christians to know before they can face the challenge of the Christian life. Too many Christians begin well but drop out of the race when obstacles confront them. Often they lack the spiritual strength to overcome the obstacle and keep on going. This may point to a lack of training. It may mean that there was no clear objective in their minds when they started, or they had only a vague idea about what was involved. Bethel gets new pastor Bethel Pentecostal Assembly in Goderich has a new pastor. The Reverend Gerry McMillan arrived Saturday, August 4 to replace the Reverend Austin Gedcke who has moved to Essex, Ontario. Prior to Goderich, Mr. McMillan was pastor at Bethel Pentecostal Assembly in Fort Erie. Before that, he was an assistant pastor at Bethel Tabernacle in Stratford and Calvary Pentecostal Assembly in. Camr bridge. Mr. McMillan's hometown is Kenora, On- tario and he received his training for the ministry at Eastern Pentecostal Bible Col- lege in Peterborough. He is married with three children, Jared, 6, Rachel, 3, and Leah, 2. Before arriving in Goderich, Mr. McMillan was -familiar with the town from past visits. His wife, Kathleen, is a native of Exeter. "I am. sure we are going to enjoy living here," he says. Mr. McMillan sees his immediate task as• just getting to know his congregation. "There is a real unity in the church right now which I want to continue to build upon." He says he wants to let each person in his congregation . know that they too can minister. "By ministering, I don't necessarily mean preaching. Helping a neighbour can be a form of ministry too," he explains. After getting settled here, Mr. McMillan hopes to become active and involved in the community. While living in Fort Erie, he worked with the Addiction Research Foun- Pastor Gerry McMillan dation, serving on the board of directors for the Niagara Alcohol and Drug Assessment program. Over the years, he has had quite a bit of experience working with young people involved in alcohol and drug addiction. Church maintains stand TORONTO - Homosexual behavior is "a perversion of God's created order" and should not be supported by legislation "that makes homosexual conduct or life-style legitimate," according to an official state- ment of the Free Methodist Church.

Conference to attract Baha'i youth to London Some 2,500 youths from over 30 nations and every continent plan to assemble. in London, Ontario for the International Baha'i Youth Conference, August 24 - 27.

The Conference, hosted by the Canadian Baha'i Community, is open to I3aha'i youth under 25 years of age and their friends.

The Canadian Baha'i Communi- ty traces its origins to 1902 and gained of- ficial recognition through a special act of Parliament in 1949.

The central teachings of the Faith include equality of men and women. universal education, harmony of religion and science, and eventual world govern- ment. BUYING AMUCK THIS WEEK?
