"OUR RESOLUTIONS"
By 'PEG"

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD
We are now past the opening deys
of 194'7. Likely we have all made
the usual mistake of heading dryer-
re.sponclence Ohaistmas an the
New Year have passed into history.
What •about our •New Year Resolu-
tions or have we come to the stage
when we think it is useless to make
ary?
As we grew older we probably
are more careful about what changes
we deeide to make in our lives dur-
ing the year over whose tbeshold we
have stepped. If we have fallen
clown in our plans i4 is because we
have tried to walk alone. We started
off well but as days have gone by
we have 'gradually withdrawn our
hand from the hand of God. The
devil has watched his chance ancl has
taken possession of us. We cannot
imagine anyone resolving that be or
she is going to follow a life of crime,
As a rule our resolutions are good
and how happy we are in thinking
how much more we are going to get
out of life. It is indeed tragic that
we drift away from the only One
who can help us to carry out our
resolutions. It is' necessary for us
to walk with someone and it is our
privilege to choose whether our
Pompanion will be Christ or His ad-
versary the Devil.
Undoubtedlythe season which has
jug passed has been a lonely one
for many of our readere.. It does
indeed seem very sad and trying,
that a loved one should be called
Home just at this time of year. This
we know has been the ease of several
in the Clinton district •and our heart -
telt sympathy goes out to them.
Christmas as far as festivities is con-
cerned is never the same when the
angel of 'death has entered a home.
There is a lonliness which always
Will we not toay decide to believe
on Him and be one with Ilion in
trying to bring those to Him. who
do not know Him.
It is such a wonderful thing for
us to have the assurance of the
Great Beyond. Ewelllittle children
understand this. A recent paper tells
the following, whioh is, apparentlY
tmie: A postrnast in an American
town tells of opening a Christmas
letter ta read in a 'childish scrawl:
"To Daddy, with love." Then the
three X marks. It was signed
"Dickey." It could. not be delivered
or the address on the envelope was
to "Daddy in Heaven."
We can just 'look _into that home
in evidently previous months and see
a •cloddy -with a, little boy seated on
his knees in his sleepers, ready for
j3ed, and the .daddy telling his young
son, a responsibility which God had
given to him, the story of the child
Jesus and of how He grew up and
died for the 'daddy, muminlyi and the
wee lad. Is it any wonder that there
was no doubt in the mind of the
child that when God took his father
he was certainly in Heaven with the
Heavenly Father whom his earthly
father had taught 'him to love? Par-
ents, why. will you not live tip to the
great' privilege God ha.i given you
when He Wooed a. young son or
daughter in your home? They will
have temptations to meet which they
cannot face in their own strength.
They love you, or at least if they
do not it is largely your fault be-
cause you have not trained them to
love God.
A happy Christian one day met an
Irish peddler. He said te. him: "It's
a grand thing to be saved." "Eh."
said the peddler, "it is, but I know
something better.than that." "Better

There are many lonely' people in
the world today. Those who are laid
aside by sickness; those into whose
home anxiety 'has come; those who
have been bereaved; those 'who
through some financial misfortune
feel that they cannot join in social
activities; those who have a dreary
outlook on the future. To sum it
up, those who are lonely.
What can we do to help them?
The first thing is for us to give our-
selves to -Christ and then prey that
He will lead us in what He would
want. us to do under any of these
circumstances. It not safe nor wise
to .start out to talk to those who have
trouble unless we go under the guid-
ance of God. He will give us the
message He -wants us to pass on.
1)o not be afraid to go into a sick
TO0111 and speak of Christ. It may
be that the one who is laid aside is
just waiting for some message like
that and there is no thought which
can bring more comfort than those
words of our Saviour: "Lo, I am
with you alway, even unto the end of
the world." The same applies to all
who are in trouble of any kind. Let
us carry His Message and give it
without fear for if He sends us out
as HismessengerBe will be with
us while we deliver it.
Is your pathway lone and long?

In your heart is there no song?
Trust on.
Jesus Christ will lead the way,
And 'will ever with you stay
Through the night and through
the day,
Trust on. —M.S.

When King Winter makes an all-out attack, man can do little but repair
the damage as fast as possible. Recent power breaks in Niagara and Western
Ontario areas were the direct result Of unusual and severe storm conditions:
Because of the flexibility provided by ifs unified, province -wide organize -
lion, Hydro was able.to rush emergency repair. crews from other parts of Ontario
to restore power. Every effort was directed to this end.
To all consumers who suffered in these storm areas, Hydro expresses its
thanks and appreciation for their patience and understanding in a difficult and
trying situation. '
At all times Hydro safeguards service by endeavouring to locate lines
free from trees and by tree trimming. Present storm damages illustrate the
advisability of these methods:
During this winter period, storms and power shortage present
great operating problems for Hydro. Your co-operation in the conserving
of power will be of material assistance and much appreciated.
