Clinton News-Record, 1947-10-02, Page 3THURSDAY, OCTO[B&ER, 2, 199/1 41111111,11011.11, ROCK OR SAND? By «„ IVIetny have just returned from summer vacation. (Some have had week off, some at month, and so" even . two. months. hs. Wha over time xme w have had we went to the place bes eadted to our time and our purse, hills majority of cases we have return ed to work with renewed energy an an interest in - our work - which ha perhaps been sadly lacking before. Some have had the pleasure of go Mg to the sea shore; others to where the waters of a lake came up to our beaches. No matter how rough a lake there is something restful in sitting or lying on a !beach and Watching the toiling of the waves. There are times when en the,ocean cern tido breaks on the shore of our fair Dominion after travelling bhousands of miles. Dame is' a grand feeling tows as we stand on the shore of an ocean or lake'. and look peens is vast expanse of water -ea feeling which we never experience at any other time. Each ' one of us has a different 'vision of where the sky dips to meet the water. but if we are in a boat that•horizon line recedes sa that the meeting: of sky and water is still far distant. As we have stood on the shore our feet have been implanted an a soft, crumbly substance known as sand. This is a powder produced by wear- ing down of flint, etc. No one , now living can recall the time when there was not sand on the beaches of our Ontario lakes. On, one of the shores the lake has encroached so far in- land that•where formerly 20 ears' could pass abreast now at the most only six can travel. Another thing about visiting at the t water's edge is the sight of the boats of any size passing. Even the canoes a or raw boats fascinate us; but what a a thrill we get, out of seeing an ocean liner approach land and dock. We are b told by a rock sitter at Vancouver d that when one of the ihuge palaces of 0n the ocean is coming in there it takes G ten minutes longer for ,the rolls of her to come to shore than it does for one of the smaller boats from the same distance. The waves front one elf these targe boats comes in = a three distinct disturbances, the •see - a and being the greatest. The tiny me waves a froma' rowboat owb t have the P• mighty t ocean g y e n behind them. t The great majority of us have In playedonthe shore of at least a lake. What. joy we have had in dig - d ging holes in the sand, and filling d them with water which gradually, seeped away; building castles and - forts., outlining houses which we fur nished with stones; the family was usually made .of sticks or bite of drift wood. We thought we had a nice play house to which we could later return and dontinue .our play. When eve earns me 't back it was all gone. Te ar- Tear - fatly we have gone to our parents and it was explained to.•us that the tide had come in and washed it away. Our tiny minds developed an idet that we: would dig deeper and build, higher, hut, the result was the 'same. Nothing whieh we build on sand is permanent. There are many of us working at one thing and another today who feel quite sure that' what we are doing will live after us and Ibe, as it. were, a monument to aur memories. We know by experience that those in high {positions are hardly laid away when someone is appointed to take their place, and the world, except to a few intimate friends, goes on as if they ,had never dived. So it will be with us. As we read the guide book of Westminster Abbey we are astounded at the number of people who have found 'their last resting place in that noted building of whom our histories make no mention. They must have dote soave noble work or z would not be their privilege to be entombed there, but theirr-menmory i, ;blank as far as the people of today re concerned. Then again there are those whom the Empire has honored y burial there whose names will go own from generation to generation. e of these is that humble servant of od, David. Livingston, who rose from a lzard-avorking weaver boy in a Scottish mill to become one of the greatest missionary, explorers of all tune: His field of labor was in Afnie><.t' and there he toiled under great dif- r, Re -opening OF CLINTON AND DISTRICT 'TEEN TOWN Clinton Collegiate Institute FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3 at 8 p.m. • • • All 'Teen -Alters are cordially welcome.

His heart was buried in Africa, where it rightly belonged, but his body was ibrought to West- minster a lbbey where a loyal tribute of honor &waited it. His life was built upon solid. ground upon a Rock where no storm could break it away. Florence Nightingale stands out far ahead of the majority of women workers of today, for it was she who started that noble profession of nursing. Would that we would always consider• as one of God's noblest gifts to be able .to care for the sielc. Flor- ence Nightingale also founded her life out the Rock Jesus Christ. 'Sometimes when we are visiting a friend will ask us to go to .the cemetery where the body of some dear one has been laid to rest. As we walk around we are told of the good works of this dear o/d lady, that young womanor how even a little child had tried to help some one. Kindness on earth will remain in the minds of people and it also is a sure foundation for our years in ebernty. We have read of contracting com- panies whole all good faith have had an architect draw up ,pians for 'rouses on "reclaimed" ground. The plans have been completed, the work has been done as well as building ma- terial would allow. The houses have -been sold or rented ,and ,perhaps for years things have gone well. Then all at once one of the houses began to sag at one side, then another, un- til finally the whole work has been condemned. with a tremendous loss to the coat -motor. The ground 'had been filled in but ,had not been given Suf- ficient time to settle. The houses had ,been built on sand. When we were ,children we were shown pictures of old Father Tinre and perhaps in our home we have had an egg times which showed the same lesson. Drop by drop, or me- -, meet by moment, the life of each of each one of us is slipping away. From the upper mart of the glass tube or what we might call the world, the grains of our life . are slowly drop- ping through the small opening into the part which represents eternity. In God's Word we are very clearly told that there are two .foundations on which we can build, one is sand and the ether is said crock. We have spoken about the inse- curity of sand. We are given the ability to chisel our names on rock. The waves may beau against it, roll over it, :cover it, and when they re- cede one name is still there. How much meresatisfaction that is than to have nothing when the waves roll back. ,The devil doss everything he can de to .keep' us from engraving on a rock, He '.asks ins to pick up a shell ansi.seratch cur' name on sand.
