0, it was one word that I saw in your book which troubles me!
(George Burder, "Heaven and Hell")
"And these shall go into eternal punishment --but the righteous into eternal life!"
Matthew 25:46
The very word ETERNITY ought to fix our attention on this great subject! 0 that
it may have as good an effect upon you, as it had upon the following lady:
A lady, who was fond of gaiety, spent the whole afternoon and evening at a card
party and other vain amusements. Returning home late at night, she found her maid
diligently reading a religious book. Happening to look over her shoulder, she saw
what it was, and said: "Poor melancholy soul, why do you sit here so long poring
over your book?"
After this she retired to bed, but could not sleep --she lay sighing and weeping for
several hours. Being repeatedly asked by her maid what was the matter, she burst
into tears and said, "0, it was one word that I saw in your book which troubles
me --there I saw the word ETERNITY!"
0 that we could impress upon you a lasting idea of Eternity!
A minute bears some proportion to a million years --but millions of millions of
years bear no proportion to eternity.
0 how would the damned in Hell rejoice, if ten thousand years might finish their
miseries! But it is for ETERNITY! Do you startle at the word? It is Christ's word.
Christ says in the text, "These shall go away into eternal punishment!"

FROM BLYTH
a.m. for May, June
with the sign language as part of the
response.
Rev. Clark invited everyone to
greet one another. The first scripture
was from Genesis 3: 7-21.
For the children's time Rev. Clark
showed them an apron and asked
them who they thought would wear
this? He told them that people who
wore an apron were busy people,
some were cooks and some were
builders. The apron protected their
clothing from getting dirty. An apron
shows that we are working for others
by making food to sustain them and
building homes for others.
The children went downstairs for
their time of fellowship.
The hymn, "Fairest Lord Jesus"
was sung. The second scripture was
Entertainment
Streetfest July 23
Blyth
from Matthew 28: 16-20. The choir
sang a medley of two hymns, "I
Walk With Christ" and "This is My
Story". Rev. Clark's message to the
congregation was "Have Apron Will
Travel." In the scriptures it was a
tough day in the garden. God was
angry at what Adam and Eve had
done and promised pain to women
and hard work for the men.
He promised there would
always be thorns in relationships.
They spring up everywhere around
the world.
It is always easy to blame
someone else and we think it makes
us feel better. Blaming someone else
never helped anyone and never will.
Jesus shows us how to find life
