Clinton News Record, 2016-11-02, Page 2828 News Record • Wednesday, November 2, 2016 Londesborough Brenda Radford Special to the News Record As I write this column, the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians are deciding the 2016 World Series. I thought it appropriate to give some background on the very familiar baseball song, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game': You and I have the advan- tage of watching any number of ball games on television. However apparently the two men responsible for this song had never even seen a game when they collabo- rated back in 1908 on what might be considered the anthem of the sport. Twenty years passed before Jack Norworth, who penned the words, and Albert Von Tilzer, the music composer, even spent time at a ball diamond. The tune has been fea- tured in every motion pic- ture about the sport and most of us know the words and can sing along. The first draft of the lyrics is in the Baseball Hall of fame at Cooperstown New York, Londesborough residents received a letter last week from the Royal Canadian Legion in Clinton. The Legion decided this year to change their annual Poppy Campaign. The Legions of today are experiencing shrinking member numbers and a door to door campaign taxes their volunteers. Con- sequently they have sent a poppy to area residents in the hope you will consider the work Legions provide for veterans and their families. They also donate funds for community youth programs and bursaries and organize the Remembrance Day Cer- emonies on November 11. Please don't accept their poppy for free. Use the enclosed return envelope to make a donation to their work. Alternatively you could drop a donation in the poppy boxes found in post offices and stores in the community until November 11. Wear the poppy proudly and remember. LONDESBOROUGH UNITED CHURCH "How are Christians like a pumpkin?" was the question asked of the children who gathered at the front of the sanctuary at Londesborough United Church on Sunday, October 30. Rev. Terry Fletcher even brought along a carved pumpkin to illustrate his comparison. Just as fami- lies choose a pumpkin, so, too, God chooses persons to be Christians. Then he takes a look at each person's insides. He gets rid of the 'yucky' stuff like in a real pumpkin and uses the good in each of us. As Christians leam from God, He puts the light of Jesus in each Christian's heart. Others know who are Christians by the love that shines in their eyes. That light that shines in a Christian may help others to become Christians, too. "The Kindness of Strangers" was the title of the message that morning to the adults. The supporting scripture pas- sage chosen by Rev. Fletcher was Luke 10: 25-37, an account of the familiar story, the Good Samaritan. In Christ's time, the Jews and Samaritans did not expect kindness from each other and avoided contact. In order to show compassion for other beliefs, Jesus took His disci- ples to talk to the woman at the well and asked the ques- tion, "Who became a neigh- bour to the man attacked by robbers?" In many of life's situations we find ourselves in the midst of, strangers judge others by earthly prejudices. Yet were it not for the strangers who help in refugee camps, for exam- ple, life would never get better for those people. Their ser- vice, like that of the Samari- tan, extends into the future. ews Terry noted that an astronaut remarked about a picture of the earth from space that it was one big portrait of one big family - no prejudices, no arguments, just love and com- passion. Terry remarked that we are all in this life together and we might be surprised to find that persons we don't know may give us the most help and support. The fleeting intimacy of talldng to a stran- ger, it has been proven, can relieve stress and bring comfort. Loneliness can be damag- ing in many ways to one's health and by reaching out to others God's love shines for everyone. A quote in the Order of Ser- vice by Bob Hope caught my eye: "If you haven't any char- ity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble:' Through your gifts to the United Church Mission and Service Fund those in need feel the beating heart of Christians. Correction From a previous article in the Clinton News Record about the multi-million dollar retirement complex in Seaforth, it stated they were waiting on Huron County's approval. The site plan application submitted by JL Retirement Living does not require approval by Huron County. The municipality of Huron East approves the site plan applications. 1Mt© It Starts With You! www•pltch•in.ca PITCH -IN CANADA!
