The Goderich Signal-Star, 1969-10-30, Page 18SA GO'Ayala! SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1969 ,:.-- From the .10 Minister's study CAPTAIN R. HEWLETT Salvation Army Refuse to recognize need "The central neurosis of our time is emptiness," said Dr. C. G. Jung. That this is a 'fact is all too evident. However, it is also a situation that we do not frankly face. We refuse to candidly recognize our need. Despite all the affluence of our God blessed land we experience a sense of emptiness that .we ,can't shake off. All the material gains of the hard worker leaves him empty. All the idleness and negative protests of the drifter is even less satisfying. The experience of man is that material abundance or .lack, preoccupation or idleness, responsibility or no responsibility has no bearing on this heart need at all. Scripture indicates the cause of the emptiness is spiritual. Man was made for personal fellowship with his Maker. They are made " to personally commune with him. Loneliness and emptiness exist as gnawing aches where that personal relationship does not exist. In Matthew 4:4 we find this needed reminder: "Man shall not live by bread alpine,, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God ." (R. S. V.) Elsewhere Scripture uses the imagery of thirst and hunger to get this idea across. In the barren wilderness or desert of Palestine the immediate satisfaction of thirst and hunger was a. life or death issueafi'd4o it speaks of a very strong desire. In Psalm 42:1-2 we read: "As the hart (deer) longs for flowing streams, so longs my soul for You, 0 God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God..." (R.S.V.) It is one thing to analyte a problem but quite another thing to prescribe an adequate answer or cure. How can this deep desire for personal fellowship or communion with God be satisfied or fulfilled? The Bible teaches that we can only rightly approach God through the Lord Jests Christ. Christ Himself said: "I am the way, I am the truth, I —HEALTH & SAFETY- ' Mainly for NotherS by Carol Hart Heeding Bettet..Than Speeding for Label Reading Have you joined America's popular new educational trend... speed reading? Whether or not you decide to increase your ability to read fast, keep in mind there are times when reading accurately is more im- portant than reading speedily. One such time is when you read the label on a. medicine con- tainer, says the Council on Eanl- ily health. Taking or giving medicine is so important to the health and safety of you and your filmily that you should un- derstand the directions you are reading, and then double check yourself. If you want to measure how well you understand what you real, test yourself by reading a medicine label in your home, says the Council, a non-profit organi- zation sponsored as a public serv- ice by leading mernbe,rs of the drug industry. ,I)id you note the amount of medicine to be taken? Does the dosage vary for adults, and am the life; no one goes to the',, children? How often should the medicine be taken? If a liquid, should you shake the container well before pour- ing? Is it for external or internal use? Does the label state the pur- pose of the medicine? �« Are there instructions for, proper storage ... such -as "Keep in a cool place." Should you take the medicine before or after eating? Are there cautions as to cer- tain activities that should be curtailed or discontinubd while Father except by Me" (Good News for Modern Man translation) (John 14:6). That means we can only approach God because of the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross for our sins, and as well because of His constant pleading now in Heaven for us. Therefore lasting our satisfaction at the deepest level is only ours when we experience a personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.. Augustine wrote: "Our hearts are restless until they find rest in • You" (i.e. God). With unfulfilled longings for God our hearts are not at ease, but they can be. By confession of sin and faith in the Lord Jesus .this satisfying experience of God's fellowship can be ours. Thankoffering held at Knox Church The Women's .

Guest speaker Mrs. Captain Ralph Hewlett' chose thanksgiving for her topic. Beginning with the story of the 10 lepers Who were healed, and pointing out that` only one came back to thank Jesus, she reminded the ladies of the many blessingsin every day life which are taken for granted. When we do something for others we love to hear it was appreciated, she said, let so often we forget to thank God for all the gifts He supplies to us. Mrs. Hewlett was thanked by Mrs. A. H. Erskine. A social half hour was enjoyed and provided an opportunity to welcome the visitors: taking the medicine?
