RALPH KING, NORTH STREET UNITED CHURCH ' • "A new commandment I give you, that yoti love Ong another.... by this all men will know that you are my disciples...." (John 13:34,35). Read also: Luke 10: 25 - 37. Cain voiced a universal question: "Am I my brother's keeper?", and mankind waited through long centuries for the fullness of God's answer. When it came, in Jesus and His way of life, we were still unready for the sweep of its significance. His answer was that I am not my brother's keeper, but my brother's brother, whom I am to love as I love myself - with all my heart, and soul, and strength, and mind. The Psalmist once sang, ' .... I hate them that hate thee.... with a perfect hatred" (Psalm 139:21,22). As Christians, it is to be hoped that we shudder at such words. It is a long leap from such expressions to Jesus, and it appears that we have not nearly caught up with him. "You have heard that it was,. said, "Love your neighbour, and hate your enemy.' But I say... love your enemies," (Mat- thew 5:43,44). 0 Jesus always spelled out the love of which he spoke in terms of demonstration: turn the other cheek, give away your cloak, go the second mile, respond to every call of need. The story b ,,of the Samaritan is always new because we fall so far short of its standards. Here Jesus wipes out the categories of stranger and enemy, and makes of every person a neighbour and a friend. Whom do you despise? Treat , him or her as neighbour and friend Whom do you fear? Treat him or her as neighbour and friend. Against whom do you hold prejudice? Treat him or her as neighbour and friend. This is still"Christ's "new commandment". He has given us a nig order to fill: "even as I have loved you" Prayer: Father, our Lord was so terribly obvious as to what he meant for us. He bluntly declared that others would recognize our discipleship by our love. Before you, 0 God, we examine ourselves and ask whether we have ever given an adequate demonstration. We ask Connie Osborn is new president ° Connie Osborn of Goderich Twp. was elected Saturday as the new president of the National Alliance for Life. She succeeds Gwen Landolt of Toronto. Delegates from all 10 provinces and the Yukon, representing some 50,000 members of affiliated groups across Canada coricl'uded their annual meeting on Sunday. The meeting approved a policy paper opposing euthanasia. .If "death by choice" becomes acceptable the paper says, "pressure would increasingly be placed on the sick and elderly to choose it." Instead of euthanasia, the paper calls for "positive help" for the dying, as provided in the St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, St.Michael's Hospital in Torontoand the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal. "In these hospitals the dying are treated with dignity and respect, given adequate Huronview The Song Service at Huronview sponsored by the Clinton Christian Reformed Church was held on Sunday evening led by Mr. Dick Roorda and accompanied by Mrs. Elsie Henderson. A group of entertainers 'from the Atwood area presented a program on Family Night at Huronview arranged by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Edgar. Mr. Lister McCreight was emcee for the evening. Violin selectidns were played by Irene McCreight, Lawrence Edgar, John Irwin and Robbie Edgar; accordion solos by Mrs.- Eleanor Inglis; vocal solos by Mrs. Ann Irwin and Larry Smith. Mrs. Anne Edgar provided the piano accompaniment; Colleen Edgar and Kim Craig entertained with duet and solo step dancing. Ben Sowerby thanked the group on behalf of the Huronview residents and extended ap invitation for them to plan a return visit whenever possible. Witnesses speak out on issue. "Millions of children living in their mother's womb will never be born. They will never know their parents. They will lose everything. Why? Basically because their parents never wanted them". In these . terms, Mr. Ralph Brodie, spokesman for Jehovah's Witnesses in the Goderich area described that group's viewpoint on the sensitive abortion issue. He continued: "Each year there are millions of abortions: In some countries there are more abortions than births. While there is a rise in the abortion rate, respect for the Law of God is at an all-time low. But. • the ushering in of the so, called "new morality" has brought on unex- SUPERIOR MEMORIALS ESTABLISHED OVER 50 YEARS Goderich Area Representative ROBERT McCALLUM 11 Cambria Road Goderich 524-7345 Clinton-Seaforth Area Representative MICHAEL FALCONER • 153 High Street Clinton 442-1441 pected problems". What problems? Mr. Brodie explained: "It is a fact that women who undergo abortions can suffer any number of side effects. Some become sterile or even die from blood loss'. Those escaping harmful physical complications almost assuredly run the risk of emotional trauma. Some carry the burden Of guilt for the rest of their lives." "Worse still, he added, "what does it do to one's relationship with'God?" Brodie further asked: "What does God think about it all? To Him, deliberate abortion is a criminal act. Viewed in this light, it is certainly understandable that a woman who has un- dergone an abortion would feel guilty. She has broken one of God's Laws -- a Law that was con- ceived to protect her unborn child." Theologians disagree as to just when life begins. However, Witness Brodie pointed out an interesting clue from the Bible. He quoted the Law of Moses, where God says that if someone should injure .a pregnant woman, resulting in the death of the child she was carrying, the guilty party would have to be put to death. "Now", says he, "the Bible does not specify just how old the fetus has to he before its death was to be avenged. A woman in any stage of pregnancy was considered as carrying a life". (Exodus 21: 22,23 The Bible gives many other helpful clues to assist Christians in making, proper decisions. Many of these will he discussed when Jehovah's Witnesses assemble at Montreal's famous Olympic Stadium, July 5-9. Everyone is welcome to attend all sessions. WE'RE AS N YOUR PHONE.
