MRS:ANNIE AY
THOMPSON
Mrs. Annie May Thom-
pson, 1925 Steeles Ave.
Toronto, died January 10 at
Extendicare North York. She
,vas 94.
.'torn April 9, 1880 in
Goderich to parents William
and Louise (Curren)
•. . McCreath, she lived all" her
life in Goderich and Toronto.
She was a• member of the
Rebekah Lodge in Goderich
and then in Toronto, She was
also an adherent of Khox
Presbyterian Church.''
She was predeceased by
her husband,- David
Alexander «Thompson about
ten years ago.
•
Sonie time ago, a friend
sat across from me 'at. the
kitchen table, • distraught
with troubles` and not
knowing ,where to turn.
Finally', she burst . out,
"Please, tell me where you,
get this faith of yours l"'
What is faith and where
does it come from? Many
a wider-�Know�e�
moderns - are genuinely__ :..in-
terested in finding out -if we-
`eh-ristians have a faith, that
works. They want to know
what kind of performance
they, can .expect from faith.
If it, works well in other lives
they may be interested; if
they cannot, see the ellfects of
faith in the actions 'of their
fellow beings, they, are likely
to question its reality.
Unfortunately, the faith of
many of us is of .uncertain
.quality: . ' ','
There is nothing ,much
more distressful. to a
housewife than to • wash a
bright, new garment . and
'find that the.material `runs.'
Some,of us have this 'and
.t looks' fine 'until it.
gets�put `through the wash'.
and • then it fades out
miserably: - • --
Even the disciples were
confident until -a squall,,hit
their fishing crglt. Then they
became . panic stricken,
waking Jesti"s"' ,and crying,
"'Lord, rarest b thous not that
we perish?"
For some of ,us our
religious experience is too
• often governed by • our
feelings, which in" turn are
frequently ruled by our state
of health or -,circumstances.: -
True faith is believing in
-the presence -and the power
of God, regardless- of in -what
condition we find ourselves,
• All of us 'want a' faith" like
tl~l'at but , few know how to
•
attain it. The trouble_.. is we
Vic• think more+about the subject
of faith than the object of
faith. Columnist Jane Scott
says, "We pray for a greater
faith when we .ought to be
praying for and ,working for
a widen-' 'kno`Vvltdge arid a
