was so real that it came

Jesus Christ didn't come to

Rather He lived and died to
give His attention to their

Elvis Presley was no worse
than some of us.
Nor was he any better.
That's why we must look
beyond him if we are to fine
someone upon whom to

There's a well-known
sonnet about a super king
called Ozymandias. He has a
gigantic statue of himself
made. He puts it in the centre
of his immense kingdom. His
craftsmen carve these words
into its base: `Ozymandias
the Great. All you can see in
all directions is mine.' But the
poet tells us that only the
bottom of the statue remains
upright. The figure of this big

Hold annual school meet
On Tuesday, Sept. 6, the
Clinton and District Christian
School Society held its annual
meeting in the meeting rooms
of the Clinton Christian
Reformed Church.
The chairman, Mr. T.
VanDyke, by choosing hymn
222, "Oh Give the Lord Whole
Hearted Praise", apd by
reading Psalm 113, a passage
which tellsThow God bestows
His rich blessings upon those
who fear and trust Him, set
the tone for the evening. The
tone was one of thanksgiving
to God because He had in the
past years so generously
. prospered not only the
Christian School, but also
those who had sacrificed to
support it for so many years.
The chairman's prayer called
for the Lord's continued
faithfulness in the coming
year.
One of the highlights of this
enthusiastic and well at-
tended meeting was the
report by the hoard
secretary, Cecil Bruinsma.
He pointed out that this was
the 16th year of the existence
of the local Christian School.
He spoke thankfully of the
willingness of school sup-
porters to give their time and
energies in school "activities
and school upkeep. He spoke
enthusiastically about the
new kindergarten class and of
the recently acquired
teachers to fill the vacancies
since the last school year.
The hoard has hired Mrs.
Eva Roorda to fill in for the
principal for four afternoons
a week. The board has also James Aitcheson. She at- Honk in Richmond Hill on

Christ the REAL King
BY LIEUTENANT
NEIL WATT,
SALVATION ARMY
(This article appeared in
the Sept. 24th Issue of The
War Cry)
One mourner claimed that
Elvis Presley's funeral
should have been bigger than
a president's.
A lady in her 30s confessed:
'I don't know how we'll get
along without him.'
A young man who wasn't
even born when Elvis first hit
the big time commented that
'1 thought he'd live forever.'
The 'King' of rock-and-roll.
But not a very royal life.
His big house just meant a
bigger roof to hide under.
He was overweight.
His marriage had failed.
Back in the early 60s, an
interviewer had asked
Presley about his hip -
swivelling, sexy style.
Presley's response: `I don't
see how people can claim that
my singing contributes to
juvenile delinquency. I try to
live a clean life.'
That he tried cannot be
denied. •
That he failed is becoming
more and more apparent.
The idol of two generations
turned out to be mortal.
Dead at -42.
The 'King' of millions of
screaming teeny-boppers
(most of whom are .now old
enough to have their own
teeny-boppers) may have had
some power over his
audiences but had no control
over., his own vices and
failings.
It makes you wonder
whether the average person
would recognize a real king if
he saw one.
We're used to watching for
crowns or sequined shirts or
jewel -studded belts.
It's difficult for us to
recognize royalty in Someone
who arrives on foot, wearing
a simple seamless robe.
Yet the King of kings came
exactly that way.
stucty
And lived a royal life
without the help of crown or
palace.
Jesus Christ never went
around 'acting' like a king.
But He had a very quiet and
very real authority. The
authority of a man who knows
who He is and what He can
do.
He stood in front of the big
shots of the day and made
them realize the puniness and
phoniness of what they call
power. A Roman ruler
couldn't get Him to speak. A
Jewish religious VIP couldn't
break Him through whipping.
His last moments on a cross
were so majestic that even as
He died, a Roman guard
could see that He was God.
And no matter how many
soldiers the kings of the earth
had stationed outside the rock
sealed tomb, Christ would
still have risen from the dead.
A real king is secure
enough that he can both love
and rule his people.
There was no Cadillac
mentality with Christ. His life
was spent shoulder to
shoulder with the sick, the
insane, and the sinful. One of
His most royal acts was a
footwashing. Basin of dusty
water in one hand, He knelt in
front of each disciple and
washed away the 'grime of a
day's walking. Only a truly
big man could stoop so low
and get across so much
majesty. Christ was no banty-
