They were on a tour of Goderich as part• of the Lions International Youth Exchange. Forty young people from all around the world took part in the tour which included stops at the Huron County Court House and Point Farms. The visitors return this Sunday to their home countries. (Photo by Jim Hagarty) CHURCH PA Two nights BY LIEUTENANT. TED PALMER, REPRINTED FROM THE WAR CRY Early . this summer, CNE stadium in Toronto hosted two very different crowds. On the Wednesday night --Blue Jays baseball buffs. The next night, Billy GrahamCrusade corwd. Thousands of people filled the stands both times. But the per- sonalities of the crowds were different: In the one group there was a flaunting of booze that had been smuggled into what was supposed to be a dry stadium. Many fans in the $4 section seemed to want to make sure that someone knew that they were publicly getting drunk. They had come, not to see the ball players, but to be seen by the o,ther fans. The Thursday night group sat patiently during the hour and a half they waited until starting .time. Those who had picl�ed up soft drinks, sipped 'quietly until the choir's opening song. Then the pop was finished quickly and the pretzels earsot. The popcorn vendor was put down every time he made a sale; the players were booed every time they made a mistake; and the , people in --the $2 cheap seats were made to feel they had no right to be there. Among those who came to --hear the word of God there was friendliness and mutual en- couragement: Folks adjusted their positions so shorter people behind could see: binoculars were passed to total strangers who wanted a better look. When the evangelist suggested that everyone ask his neighbour if he was saved the questions were posed caringly, without threat of noisiness. And somehow you knew that the Spirit of God had invaded the CNE stadium. There, were 17,000 people at the Blue Jays double header on the Wednesday night. They went home cold and discouraged. Thirty-one thousand folk turned out to hear Billy Graham the next evening. The lakeshore put away. They had come- breeze was just as chilly. But they went home with thankful hearts, full of holy enthusiasm. A zoologist observing the two crowds, would for something more important. Some of the baseball set were so pushy that nothing --or no one -- breakable would have had a chance. The longer they waited, the more they drank. The more the alcohol , content, the greater the change from back slapping to rib jabbing. All in good fun? Sure except for the five-foot tall, 70 -year-old who'd bussed in from Smalltown to see his favourite team for the first time! The Graham audience was so polite and con- siderate that you'd think everyone had pocketsful of eggs. One young guest remarked that he couldn't believe so many people could • crowd into one spot and remain so 'kindly towards each other. The tow uniformed policemen on duty looked irrelevant --like a vice• squad at a Walt Disney movie! As the two evenings progressed the dif- ferences were even more obvious. The grandstand athletes got their jollies by throwing verbal--iirv;- sults atanyone within differe.n....cro%..d.. have been excused if he'd catalogued his subjects as two different species. In a way, he would have been right. There were a lot of horn. again people in the Graham grandstand. .. The hundreds more were born again each night as the evangelist asked them to leave their seats, walk down those long bleacher stairs, and across the ball field to indicate their desire to repent of an old way of life and start anew. Many of the ball fans were out to make an impression. The crusade attenders were willing for God to place His im- pression on them. All of life is made up of two crowds. We work with them, share the highways with . them, shop with them. The first is that im- mense majority of worldly folks who see life as a jungle and every occasion as a struggle for survival .and dominance. To them, other people are raw material to he consumed or exploited. Every crippling strike this summer, every bloody murder, every war is started and sustained by the lust of this crowd. The other crowd in- creases in number every week as more and more i Sundoy. August 13th 8:00 p.m. BE SURE TO HEAR Rev. Wayne Good Plus Special Music KI Evil Prevails when , Good Men Do Nothing.

They are sensitive to others"'rights -and needs and responsive to the Spirit'of God. They bring beauty and peace into every situation. Why don't you switch crowds? Repent of your self- centredness and its multiple sins. Choose to live, with God's help, a whole new style of life. Christ's blood was sacrificed on the cross to pay for your past sins. incl the Holy Spirit conies 'to chose who want Him to give power and purity and compassion to our Christian men breakfast History has proven that the worldis affected by men with a, vision. Twenty-five years ago a man in Southern California had a vision. The Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship had been meeting ,for weekly prayer breakfasts in Clifton's Cafeteria in downtown Los Angeles. The infant organization barely survived its first year and attendance dwindled from week to week. Only 15 men gathered on . the meetings first an- niversary. The night before what. he expected would be the -.finalmeeting it is believed Gad gave, founder Demos Shakarian a startling vision. • In the vision it was revealed that 'the-- Fellowship theFellowship would play a role in a world wide spiritual revival. The next morning God. dramatically confirmed His word. From that morning in 1952 the Fellowship has grown and spread around the world. In Canada alone there are 113 chapters with a total membership of 2,455. In the U.S. there are 1,328 active chapters and there are chapters in 43 countries around the world. The monthly meetings of these chapters attract over 500,000_ people to informal gatherings in restaurants and hptel banquet halls. The fellowship publishes a monthly magazine with a circulation of nearly one million readers. Internationally, "Voice" magazine is printed in German, French, Dutch and Italian,' as well as English. F.G.B.M.F. also sponsors its own "Good News" television program which is shown weekly on 108 stations and has radio broadcasts beamed to 51 countries in 21 languages. Full Gospel Business Men's chapter meetings are a departure from the • normal Christian gatherings. They usually take place in the warm surroundings of a restaurant or hotel banquet room. The meeting is relaxed and informal. Songs are sung, .. a, featured speaker gives. a talk, and other men tell about the good things God is doing in their lives. Fellowship meetings also enable Christians to gather together to enjoy the company of one another and encourage each other in their faith. Any Christian plan who can subscribe to the organization's doctrinal statement is eligible for actual membership in the local chapter. There are no restriOtions . on the basis of church affiliation. or occupation. Since the Fellowship is not a denomination, mem- bership in the organization does not affect an individual's HOLINESS BI.BLE..MISSIONARY.CH.UR.CH_...._..- .• Sunday school 9:50 a.m. Classes for all ages Worship Service 11:00 a.m. : Prayer 6:30-7:00 p.m. Evangelistic Service T:00 p.m. C Wednesday Night Prayer and Praise I3 .l Blessed purei.nhea.rt..for.they..sha.11-see-God .i. r .`• iHuron St. & Walnut St. Matthew 5:8 ; ���••�•�~^•~� ,� �� i G.
