Love one another to show you are God's
BY THE
REV. 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,

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-

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

famous Olympic
Stadium, July 5-9.
