Wa.nts convicted ,murderers
kept perm ently locked. up
Dear Editor:
I feel murderers should be declared a
danger to society and should therefore be
locked up away from society forever,
without day passes or possibility of parole
for the rest of their life.
When the death penalty was in effect and
was imposed on a convicted murderer it
not only set an example to other would-be
murderers but it removed such a person
from our society forever and gave the
public some sense of security.
Since the death penalty has been abolish-
ed the murderer has nothing to lose. They
can rape, rob, torture and murder; the on-
ly penalty that can be imposed on them is a
'life sentence' - 25 years - with day passes
and time off for good behavior. Then they
are out in society to do it all over again.
According to the news on a local radio
station 130 such murders have occurred
since 1975. That is far top many to be
classified as an isolated case. It's time
some positive action was taken to change
the penal system.
Where is our protection from these
murderers?
These - murderers have shown no
remorse; but certainly proven by their ac-
tions that they have no intention of chang-
ing their way of life. They will not hesitate
to murder and rob to take what they want
from society.
It is time the penal system was changed
LETTERS
gissiosim
to deal more harshly with these criminals
and put them away forever.
When a person commits murder they
automatically give up their chill rights.
They don't consider the civil rig is of the
person(s) they murder.
At the moment our judicial system does
not protectus from these known criminals.
I demand a change to keep these convicted
murderers off our streets and out of our
society.

Relationship with God important
Dear Editor:
The 1st Commandment states: "Thou
shalt have no other gods before me" and
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and
the life, no man cometh unto the Father
God) but by me." It appears the Anglican
Church of Canada would have the 1st Com-
mandment say: "Thou shalt better
. understand and respect all other; gods_
before me," and are we to believe there
are many ways to God when Jesus said He
and He alone is the way?
Teaching the world's religions cannot
• change people or find God with their rules
and regulations, only a relationship with
the Lord Jesus Christ can change a per-
son's heart.
Behind the facade of religion is your god,
Satan who will keep you in darkness. All of
you and your children need the truth, you
want hope"for tomorrow and you wouldn't
truly find it in any' pagan religion but only
in Jesus Christ who loves you all. He died
so that the bonds of sin and darkness would
be broken and He lives today waiting to set

Can I honestly say, I have never been as
cold in my life, before or since. And here I
was, a grown man, a professional person,
dressed in my Sunday best, with my foot
raised unprofessionally in the bathroom
sink of hot water, while the other one
waited patiently for its turn.
I could only think, "WHAT ON EARTH
HAS BROUGHT ME TO THIS?" That was
seven years ago, and I had just experienc-
ed my first Goderich Remembrance bay
service on Court House Square. I even con-
sidered it might be my last.
Yet, each year I join others in the com-
munity, in all kinds of weather, to engage
privately, as well as corporately, in an act
of remembrance. And, each year I feel
more sure of why I am there, and why I
even encourage the younger generation to
REMEMBER with us.
The truth is that while the world around
us often seduces us into believing that we
discover the best things of life in the pre-
sent, the reality is that life has little pur-
pose and meaning without acknowledging
the awareness of the past and future.
Apart from the past, we have no present.
We become like a ship in the night, without
rudder which gives direction, and without
hope which gives purpose. The truth of all.
this is as ancient as history. The Old Testa-
ment people were never encouraged to
conquer, or to simply exist. Their daily
lives were strongly tied to a process of
remembrance. Their hopes in the future
were based upon that remembering of the
way by which they had come, and commit-
ting themselves to the lessons that the
remembering gave them.
In the New Testament, we are called to
the same process in the Christian tradi-
tion, when at the highest and most sacred
festival, the people of God are invited in
the Eucharist to DO THIS IN REMEM-
BRANCE. The key word is the DOING. It
is actively living daily life in the
knowledge of who we are and what we are
called upon to be, in the light of the way by
which we have come. ,
Remembrance Day does this for me,
even through the bitter cold. We are not
called upon to celebrate the "glory" of
wars, but to remember that our present
and future take on meaning and purpose,
when we take seriously the consequences
of the alternatives. If we fail to.DO, to com-
mit Ourselves, to the things that cry for
Peace and Justice, we lose. .
It seems to me to be like the title of a
book I. saw which read; LIVING. BET-
WEEN MEMORY AND HOPE. I guess
that's where I find meaning ... and find it
again on November 11.
