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 We started off well but as days have gone by we have 'gradually withdrawn our hand from the hand of God.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 comes back. No matter how many than being saved. said he. "What are around orie $COTIIS) so alone. If we can you possibly know better than could only realize that although our that?" "The Companionship of the loved Ones were happy here on Earth, Man' who saved inel" was the unex- ' their joy is much greater in that pected reply. It seems strange that Hope where there is no more sorrow we accept Jesus as our Saviour and or pain. We would thank God that yet for some reason we do not want He took them rather than to leave to talk to ethers about Hint. We them to suffer here on Earth.

Brook; Hensall,. officiat- ed at private funeral services here Monday afternoon, January 13, for Mrs. Albert Spencer, who died slid- denly at her late residence, Hensall, . . 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? • Trust on, 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. "PEG" banon Lodge No. 72 • . and.
