Clinton News-Record, 1946-03-07, Page 3_THURSDAY, MARCH 1946 CLINTON: NEWS -RECORD PAGE TIIREE YOUTH" By ,.PEG" The following story was told 'in a recent Christian paper. A little child was wandering around the streets , and when asked .if he were lost, re- plied, ."I am' seeking something but I cannot tell what." In his rounds he, looked into a place from whence had come music and singing. He sa people kneeling. That, was not what he wanted: Then he came to a place where there was'mhusic, dancing and drinking.. That did' not give hint whati he was looking for. Presently, when he had become cold and weary lie . again heard music and. the voice of a woman singing softly. He opened the door and saw•e woman sitting in front of the fere with a baby in her arms and a elged in night attire kneel- ing at her knee; softly repeating a prayer which his mother had taught • him. "Ah,"said the child, 'this is what I have been seeking: here is love, peace, and contentment, This is Home." Recently our thoughts dwelt on "ChildhoodThe great talk of the present .time is "youth." The youth of today are the men and women of tomorrow, those .who will preach God's word; who will delve deep into the science of medicine and who will find the solution for some of the prob- lems of today with which pathologists are combating. By the time they are ready to take over that work the dis- coveries of the present day will have passed into history; they will, if we are not. all blown off the earth by that time, place together atoms in such a way, that the atomic bomb will have faded into nothingness: they will be able to play all kinds of nmsical instruments which are now, not on tine market and as has been done in • resent weeks ?hey will d.aw thous - male to h r.r tide sweet m tele One coati gt ar and cn talking about the wrnndiefe. thing» which the yt.uth will be un l'itaking in future years. The great question is, "are our youth preparing themselves for the challenge of the vears to come? If so they will give eaderehip to not arty our owr I`ombene or continent but also to the word. A daily pa,,er recently spoke of a series of religions services which were being held wn::h were designed to meet the needs of 'teen aged young people who were looking for a place to go on Swiday evening.. This takes es back to the story with which we started. Our young people, apparently do no know what to do with themselves. irhey are lust as fine a group of youth age as there ever •was, Vint so ofte-i they seem to wander away. What is the trouble? I One of our great criminal lawyers in a recent magazine article says she believes. "the finger of guilt for the ° crime wave thee; sweeping across the country today Points first at Can- adian parent•:" Why are so few people attending • our Sunday evening services? In years gone hp it was the custom for all in the' home who were old' enough to go'to the House of God for the eveninr sera ter. Why has this usual procedure been discontinued? In many cases the fault lies with the parents. To a large extent this can be overcome if parents will just make = their children their first considers--. tion. Parents cannot expect theee fur whom they are responsible to have much respect for their command to go to Church when the same enreii will sit comfortably at horn, enter- tain company, do things which ere not; in' accord with God's law for the day. In many instances both parents and children have been up so late on Saturday night that they 'baye no inclination' to get up on Sunday w morning to go to church. Then some of the young people spend the bal- ance of the day in sports with the result that the Day of the Lord passes and perhaps no one in the family has attended church at all. M young friends, there is nothing, no kind of sport or pleasure, which will give you more enjoyment than being in contact with those who are following the Lord. The reason we do not know this is that we have so filled our lives with worldly things that we have left no room for our Saviour. Then again we have never spent time in reading God's Word. We (spend hours reading trash which in many instances neither clean nor 'edifying: If we would only make it a rule to spend at least part of the day in reading and studying the Bible we would find that we have never read anything more interesting. A friend recently said she was, after • asking God to reveal His message to her, reading and studying a chapter. a day of that marvellous story of Paul as found in the Acts of the Apostles, and was findingit most interesting. Our sympathy really goes out to the young people of,today. They are and have been for some years now. facing problems such as older :for those of us who •a e mle did not have to ore eaadvaneat. It . ed in years to try to place ourselves in their position and to study what we would do under the circumstances. We feel that community centres are doing a great deal to help the problem of our young people, but each one of our youthful boys and girls must realize that they have a future ahead of them and that they must do the very best they can to prepare themselves for a gool clean, pure. God fearing life so that they will be able to help not only them- selves but others to walk along the straight and narrow path. How Major John W. Foote, Can- ada.'s latest VC winner in speaking in one of our cities recently informed his audience "that the salvation of the world lies in concerted action by all denominations to promote Chris- tianity," When we look into that statement we realize that the world is made up of different countries, those countries are composed of states or n,rovinces, which in turn are former of cities, towns, villages and districts. Lastly congregated in. these several places are men, women, youth, boys, girls, and Iittle children. We can readily understand how each one of these different citizens can and will have a part in the world organization. We may claim that we will go our own way and have no part in future things. A number of our youth of today are taking their own way and day by day our papers are telling us how they have fallen iiia the clutches of the law, Our sympathy goes out to them. People sometimes say "they deserve all they are getting." We have no right to so judge them for we do not know under what circumstances they have been Iiving.

Interment was in Knox Pres- byterian 'Cemeteree, Mitchell. Rev: D. D. Wilson officiated. Born in Dungannon February 19, 1905, deceased was a daughter of the Iate Edward Fowler and Isabel Mc. Nevin. On August 21, 1928, she mar- ried Mr. Burchill and they lived in Toronto for seven years before mov- ing to lot 17, concession 4, Hibbert. She was a member of Knox Presby- terian Church, Mitchell.

Pall- bearers were Jesse Wheeler, Frank Little, Rae Crawford, Richard Proc. tor, Alex Brewer, and William Hol- linger. Mr. Ding, who was in He 70th Sear, 'was born in Easteen Ontario, coming at en early age with his par- ing at a ,wreck of humanity going downthe street, said, `:But for the grace of God there goes. D. L. Moody." The youth of our land, who have gone contrary to the law, have in some way been influenced wrongly. It may have been in their home or by someone whom they have met in school or in evenings when they were away from the . supervision of their home. Probably we individually have had some influence which was not for the best over some young people, Could it be possible that we have offered anyone who was visiting in our home a drink which has started them on their downward way. If we have we may rest assured we will suffer for it, if not here then in the -Great Beyond. We feel that many many of our young people are breaking away from earthly things and are giving their lives to their Saviour. No matter how, deeply we are sunk in sin Jesus Christ is waiting to receive us. There is only one way to come to Him. In Acts 15:11 Peter tells .us just how freely He gives us salvation, "We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall. be saved." That means that we will be saved not only for our earthly pil- grimage but for all eternity. "My Saviour, Thou has promised rest Oh, give it then to me, The rest of ceasing from myself To find my all in Thee."
