A ,well known song saya,
"This is my Fathe..r's world".
How can we possibly think that
God, is in control of this world
of ours when we see each day in
the newspapers, on the
televisio and • heard on the
radio o events which are
taking place around us. It
seems very plain that it is only
the greed of man which is in
control. What can we .do'
about the situation?
,Anything?
Have you ever tried this 'little
experiment?' The next time
you 'go .out for. a walk or are
downtown shoppijng try smiling
and saying hello to those that
you meet on the street or in the
store. .You of course will
that themajority of people will
smile back or return youitthello.
Now you' say that doestn't do .0
mu''ch for our problems today.
This is only a. beginning step
though it must go farther than
this. We need to think of the
needs of others before our-
selves. . We havice lost
`something 4n our living today
because the word `others' has.
gone out of odir. conversation
and most of tall our attitudes.
To put life.in the proper per-
spective it is necessary, for
'Christ to have first place in
everything and then. we will
find the other' aspectt�of lives
falling into the right place.
'loll say ' does that mean
before our families? before our.
work? before Our husbands
and wives?
The answer must be yes!
"But seek ye first the kingdom
of God,, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be
added unto you." (Matt. 6:33)
This is God's .promise - that
when He is put in first place,
then our family, our work and
whatever will have it s rightful
place.•
Then our tlattitudes change
• towards ourselves and others.
The world around us will be
different because' we are dif-
ferent. And we wild spread the
right influence that will ,begin
the chain ,reaction of changing
our world,
Thanks for' everything.
Gypsy Smith, evangelist of
another era, told the stay of
visiting a little old lady in one
of the shabbier parts of .Lon-
don, England.
He found her 'house full of
smoke. The wood she was blpr-
ningwwas wet and green and the•.
stove was in ,a bad state of
repair.
:`This place is full of smoke,"
he exclaimed, "how do you
stand it?" Smith was surprised
by her reply,: "I praise God, Mr.,
Smith, that I've got something
to make smoke with."
- - A little -later he said,--'"Why-it
looks -to. -..-me that y'otn have_
nothing in the house to eat.but
dry bread," 'She quickly
replied, "Oh, but • Mr. Smith,
thank CGod that 'I ' have good,
fresh water to go with. it."
Gypsy c, Smith felt -slightly
• rebuked and when he got' up to,
leave he said, "You'll never`'
know how tnuch•'this visit has
._..meapt" to me. By the way, it
looks to me like yOu only have`
twd teeth left in your mouth."
"Yes", she said,- "And praise
God • they're opposite one :
another!" •
This dear old soul had found
that the secret,of a truimphant
• life lay in'thanking God for,
whatever condition s' ie found
,herself' in: '
In Thessalonians we read,
"In everything give thanks, for
this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you .
Everything?!
It's easy enough to give
w•••.•
thanks for the nice things in life
...answers ,,to prayer, the sup-
plying of our needs, and all the
other daily evidences of the
goodness. of God.
It's quite another matter,
however, to give thanks for the
trials, the heartaches, the
hurts, the losses, and all the
other thi g ewe don't like. • In
fact, it just doesn't seem to
make much sense that we
should; yet the Bible clearly
states in a number of places.
that we 'give thanks for ALL
'things', and this must surely
mean `the bad .as' well as the
good.
If -you. look. •.at this... principle.._...,.
deeply, enough_ • it be ins to
make, sense. Who.of uusias not
come through a trial stronger
and more mature; through suf-
fering
uffering or illness with more •sym-
,pathy' and understanding :for
• someone else's 'pain: Like gold
in a crucible we often come out
of thea difficult times refined
and more' usable.
We don't like,the hard
knocks and it's not asy to give•
...thanks for them, but a life -that
has received no bumps or
r bruises is usually a shallow,
empty one.
Remember it was with such, a
small group that first began to
change the world. Twelve men.
We -can do it also.
St,' Paul was able to `rsin •
praises when, he was bound" in
c : the. stocks of the inner prison.
You see,- the one thing you can '
never take away from a,,
'Christian is the presence' of,u
Jesus. ' And if His .presence ,is
with us, then what,caf•harm us..
This is why we give thanks for

Some observers have sacci '
that no community • remains

from the inter -denominational
crusade. • Mr. • Patterson is an
itinerant Anglican evangelist
who resigned his suburban

Toronto paish seven years' ago
to bring the message of Christ
to people by community

"The greatest need in the
church today is to develop a
sense of expectancy," said Mr.
Patterson, "That is 'expecting
a miracle to happen • in_pe'ople's
lives arid expecting that. their
lives shot,:- be changed when
we preach,•the; Word of God
with authority, sincerity, love
