Hope deferred rpakes
the heart sick,
but a desire
fulfilled is a
tree of life.
-Proverbs 15:12
Where there is no
v.sion (prophecy)
the people perish.
-Proverbs_ 29118
The Trent Canal, now
called the Trent -Severn
Waterway, has held a
special attraction for me,
since as a lad I attempted
to catch sunfish in the
canal below the Peter-
borough lift lock. I
remember the Sunday
school picnics in the old
steamer Stoney Lake to
Rice Lake or Young's
'Point and the log rafts
that, even in the early
thirties, could be seen in
the Kawartha fakes.
In those days which I
recall, the Trent Canal
or some of it - was nearly
100 years old. Other parts
of it were not completed
until 1965, and Lock 44 at
Big Chute has never been
built. A marine railway
substitutes for it.
The Waterway today is
a tourist attraction and a
boater's paradise, but the.
original hopes for it were
never fulfilled.
It was intended as a
short-cut from Lake
Ontario to Georgian Bay
for commercial and
naval vessels. The
lumber companies ex-
pected it to float timber
from the backwoods to
the • mills. The farmers
hoped it would take farm
produce and livestock to
the cities.
But almost as soon as it
was, begun, lake boats
were being built too large -
for the canal. As fast as
dams and locks were
completed, the timber
was exhausted. Quicleer
ways were found to

George William
Feagan of Huronview,
formerly of Benmiller,
time died in Victoria Hospital,
London on Tuesday,
s good uary 2 at the age off 83.

was born in
Colborne Township on
November 23, 1895 to

Waterway, as at first
envisaged, was simply
Impractical.
In the middle of the last
century, few people could
have forecast the
tremendous . increase in
recreational boating. .In
the days of thy youth it
'seemed that only ex-
tremely wealthy people
could enjoy the beauties
of the Trent Canal.
Yet today, the amount
of traffic in the Waterway
exceeds in number of
vessels if not in actual
tonnage, the fondest
Observer editor
Alfred Clinton Forrest,
62, the editor of The
United Church Observer,
died at his home in
Toronto during the early
morning hours of
December 27th.
The - controversial
editor, well known for his
support of the Palestinian
cause in the Middle East
conflict; -had-been_equally •
outspoken on issues
within Canada and the
United Church. He
criticized: his own church
for supporting a more.
liberal abortion policy,
promoted Canadian
recognition of Com-
munist China, and argued
against apartheid
policies in southern
Africa.
His stands provoked
critics to call him
everything from "that
pink editor" to a crypto -
Fascist John Bircher. Yet
a remarkable number of
people, across Canada
and around " the world,
considered him .a close
friend.
"He never grew too big
for his britches," said one
minister who had been
befriended as a student
by Dr. Forrest. "He
always had,time for the
little guy."
A.C. Forrest was
probably one of the best
known officials of the
United Church., As editor,
he travelled regularly
visiting all of the church's
92 presbyteries. Truth?", through a
"My only boss is the weekly column "A Cleric
reader," he often said, Comments" published in

He travelled ex-

East, India -and .South -
East Asia, the Far

312,000.
He was also widely
known as a regular
panelist on the TV
program "What is

of one of Canada's most
scenic areas is availabale
for all to enjoy.
We can make of this a
parable. God's ancient
people made great plans..
They dreamed about the
day when Jerusalem
would, be the perfect
picture of God's
Kingdom.
And, it seemed,
whenever the dreary'
began to approach
reality, it was frustrated.
One enemy or another
would lay waste their
land, and ultimately in
A.D. 70 the Temple wbuld
be destroyed. The dream
seemed incapable of
fulfillment.
There were few, except
the prophetic visionaries,
who could tell that God's
purpose was being
achieved.
It would not happen in
the way everyone ex-
pected. Indeed, the vision
would be enlarged
oeyo the fondest hopes
of those Old Testament
people. What was
planned as the triumph of
local industry and
knowledge, would
become God's victory on
behalf of all men.
When the fulness of
time was come, God sent
his Son (Galatians 4:4).
We have been celebrating
this event during recent
weeks. Circumstances
changed, and now God's
Kingdom, and its gloryis
available for all. That,•is
the good' newsof the
Gospel.

During World War II,
he was a chaplain in the

accepting theap=
pointment as editor of
The Observer.
He was born in 1916,
and grew up in Maple,
Ontario. He graduated in
arts from Victoria

1937, a and from
Emmanuel College,
,Toronto, in theology in
1940. In 1961, Huntington
