Clinton News-Record, 1947-01-30, Page 3ITHU•R'DIAaY, JANUARY 30, 1947 mews-REco PAGEJ !CHR "ICICLES" By "PEG" .Following a period of•fro:9ty weath- er as 'we walk along the street or look out of our window, we often see icicles of all sizes hanging from the eves of a house. 'verandah or any ledge over which water drops. The weather mr,st be cold and snappy or acieles will not form. Ln our child- hood days these were a cause..of w .ndei ms , tc us, but, as years went or we just accepted thein as a custom- ary thug 'had' unless we saw or hoar 1 one fall we paid little attention to them. Has it ever occurred to us that even -an icicle has a earvelt„,: c•m parison to our lives? There is nothing in nature which is not marvellous. Elven the tiniest grain of sand or a mustard seed, the smallest: of all field products which grow, haye in them the wonder which may be applied to all of God's nature. Let us just look at an icicle. We notice that it is broad at the top where it hangs down from the pro. jection then it tapers down to a point which is almost as fine as the sharpened lead in a pencil. It is formed by water whioh drop by drop, comes from the roof or any projection from which it is hanging. Icicles are of different sizes, some have a very large base and can carry a cone of from three to four feet or even longer, others which have a smaller base attachment are able to support only a smaller sized cone. As we look at the different sizes hanging from the roof we see that some are dark in color and some clear and .sparkling. We know that is due to the area over which the water has been dripping. In all liklihood each'one of us, in spite of repeated parental warnings of the danger of germs, has broken off and chewed a piece of icicle but we would make sure it would be the 'clear ones we would use. We would not want to take anything dirty into our system. In our youthful clays we would have more regard for what was pure and wholesome than we have as we grow older. Many can remember the times of the oldfashioned gas lamps. We can reeadl the man going along with his ladder and taper. As we stood in front of the house, we could tell just where he was by the lights as they appeared in the same darkness. Then it was our joy to follow hiin the few steps to the corner, watch him brace the ladder against the post and in ' a few seconds the little beam from that light shone forth and the .lamp- lighter went on his way. We could always tell how far he had ''gone by the lights which shone. Had he not earned on the work assigned to him either the streets would have gone unlighted or some one else would have" had to take his place. So it - is in our lives, we choose' either the light or the dark' road of life and our daily walls shows to those about us just where we stand as far as our •Saviour is concerned. God is able to raise others to do our work, but He has given us the oppor- tunity and if we do not accept it then, we are the losers and we must face that in the next world—at the Judgment Seat of Christ. What will ave feel like at that great day when we are faced with the fact that by not speaking for Christ we have been the means of someone not accepting Elim. God in His mercy may bring ue back to the narrow way, but the person whom we should have in. fluenced /nay be lost eternally. When we are young we have our dives before us, our foundation is broad, but as year by year goes on our life and our usefulness narrows until like the icicle we drop off. There is no escape for us. By far the strongest part of our life is our youth. The shorter and smaller bas- ed icicles may be compared to those whom God calls in their youth, the broader based and long ones are ap- plicable to those who have gone on to, have passed middle life, have even reached the three score years and ten before the last unmistakable clear call comes' for them, As the cone of the icicle is formed drop by drop so bur lives are made up by what we do each second of the time which God has given us here. Each action, thought or word has a part in the material which we send up far our home above for we will undoubtedly have a future with Christ or with His adversary. People may try to tell us that God being a God of love will never punish us to the extent of eternal separation from Him but His word definitely tells us that we must make our choice between 'Heaven or hell, and that choice is yours and. it is mine. It has been said that the conduct of Christ's followers has done .more to bring others to Christ than all the preaching in the world has done. It has also been said that many have been brought to Christ through the preaching of His Word by earnest an:l MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS • • • Due to conditions and lack of merchandise we have not been accepting your instruments as a trade-in, but this will be your privilege if you act now.

It is not our place to judge, God will do that in His own way which is always right, but let us beware how we act and speak as followers of His. "Draw night to God, and He will draw night to you," James 4:8. If we are in close comp- any with IIim those around us will know it, and if we are not they will realize that also. Do we know that at trines we have dark dirty icicles in our hearts which lead us to do things which we would not otherwise dreaep of doing? Those. are the things which make us act as we do. Included among them are temper, selfishness, jealousy and even hatred. Will we not replace therm by love, which will be -the means of removing all those sordid qualities from our being?

They may brave it out during-their''lifetimne but when God calls then .and they have to ,go into the unknown alone„ it is a dif- ferent proposition. It is necessary only once, to see such a person pass into Eternity to learn a lesson Which eau never be forgotten. It leaves one with the feeling that the patient must surely have had a glimpse 'of the. hereafter. Let each one of us make sure that we will have the Pilot, Jesus Christ, on board when we make our last :trip, Very often people are given no warning of that last call. Then what of the here- after? It is indeed a miricle how your life and mine may be transformed and how people can see Jesus Christ in us. Are we doiing anything to make the world better or are we joining in with the opponents of our Saviour to snake it worse? Will we not start out today and do some Christian work so that when we reach the glory land we may have some one there to say we had helped to bring them to Christ?
