PAGE 81%--GODERICH SIGNAL STA, TSP41)-AY, MAY 26, 1977, 4 FROM THE SUM PASTOR ALFRED FRY GODERICH (RETIRED) In the book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 33, we read of the parting Blessing of Moses upon the children of Israel. Moses reminded them that op their journey through life: "As thy days, so shall thy strength be." If any of us know of a word of hope or comfort anywhere it is our duty to share it with others. We live in a very disturbed world and the older we become the more we are aware that we should live one day at a time. The Word of God as recorded in John 6, verse 34, Jesus said, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." Note how the promise runs. Not as your life is, not as your years are, but as your days, so shall your strength be. God's promise is that strength will be given us, one day at a time. Leave tomorrow with God until it comes. Live this day at your best. trusting that God's help will not fail you. As for the trials and duties of tomorrow, however hard and heavy, believe that ttrength for that day also will be given you, when it comes. Jesus was always trying to get people to trust the coming days to His Heavenly Father, and to live fully worthily and nobly today. He was against the practice of adding to the burdens of today fears and forebodings for tomorrow. It was"theiove of Jesus and His desire to save us un- necessary pain, that He bids us remember that, "Suf- ficient unto the day is the evil thereof." As I grow older I am more convinced that if God The Father had meant us to carry on our backs the fears and anxieties of the coming days, He would surely have told us more about them. If we were meant to bear today what next week holds, surely we should have been permitted to see into next week. But we cannot. We cannot see a single second ahead. God gives us Now, and tomorrow He keeps for Himself. SO 'We should learn to leave the future with God. This may sound mournful; but the ministers of other. days warried their flock to live each day as if it were the last. The Christian has a glorious future, if we trust in God, and believe John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He/gaNe His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but shall have everlasting life." If we believe this, why worry about tomorrow. To our thinking if we are too concerned about this material life and as Paul said, "If in this life only, we have hope in God, we are of all men most miserable," we need to examine ourselves to see where our faith lies. So leave all of your tomorrows with God, and remember, The Eternal God is our refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. Surely this is enough. "So for Tomorrow and its needs I do not pray, But keep me, guide me, help me Lord, Just for today. • • ,ItAT ri . .4 , • .•, : The Godersch Art jab recently held three seminars at the Studio in MacKay Ron Walker, the well-known artist and teacher who held similar sessions last year again presided. He opened the first seminar with a series of slides which dealt with a variety of famous artists and their various styles) These revealed many approaches to realism, ab- stract and impressionism. The members were especially interested in the French Impressionists and how they worked. These artists achieved their style with a new interpretation, of light. They placed paint on the canvas in the form of dots in contrasting coloars which created a diffused yet bright sense of light and shadow. The resulting canvases conveyed a sense of at- mosphere and a more emotional feeling on the part of the artist as well as a similar response from the viewer. Who has not basked in the sun of a Renoir painting which interpreted a lazy summer afternoon •with people relaxing on the beach, floating down the river in a boat or enjoying refresh- ments at a riverside restaurant?

People feel the joy and relaxation which these pictured groups so obviously conveyed at that time, a communication of at- mosphere.
