That sure- ly requires a strong convic- tion about God's existence. The Word says, "He that cometh to God must believe that He is..," Notice the MUST of believing. But we all know people who say m so many words: "I don't believeand I can't believe in God's existence, even if 100 Bibles tell me so. Prove to me that God exists." To be honest; neither I nor anyone else can prove God's existence with logical arguments. Man doesn't pro- ve God's existence, but God DOES make his existence known, and it depends on whether we listen to Him or turn a deaf ear when he speaks. and how does God communicate to us? That is a very important question. Nature is one area where God speaks about himself. Now in the spring we see a marvel of creativity and a panorama of design. In nature we meet God as the "Great Designer". We also meet Him in the _.experiences of everyday. In the course of a month or a year, there are all kinds of good days, bad days, misfor- tunes and surprises. If this were .blind chance dealing with us, then life would be too senseless for.Words In our experiences . we meet .God as the ."Great Life- Ruler" dealing with us on a day to day basis. But who is this Designer and Life -Ruler, this Great Someone? The people of Athens wondered about that when they put up their altar to the unknown God. Paul was able t tell- t if ezii because God made himself known to him and to the world at large through His Son, Jesus Christ. In the Son, Jesus Christ, dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Through Jesus, the "Great Someone" becomes personally knowable to us. In the work and teaching of Jesus, we meet the Father in person: more wise, more true, more concerned, more real than any person we know. In many ways, and especially through His Son, God has said, "People I am, I am the Living God with whom you all have to do." Now what do you suppose God says to people who say there is no God? No doubt God says something like "Yoµ fool...!" because the word says "The fool says in his' heart there is no God." To say there is no God when God has so often and, in so many ways made himself known, that is the height of folly. God has indicated that his harshest judgement is for those who deny his existence • when they have been sur- rounded with communica- tion from Him. One question to those who N • 35 HAMILTON ST.

With the expertise and pro- fessionalism provided by the ministry team of REALITY 11 of St. Catharines, headed by Rudy Krulik, and with a cast of 40, including both local and imported person- nel, it promises to be 'a dramatized real life presen- tation you'll never forget'. The presentation has been given in other areas of the province, and continually played before capacity crowds. Sound ands -lighting effects help to visualize the Christian message being received by the audience. Pastor Austin Gedcke of Bethel Assembly indicates his congregation is most en- thusiastic about this upcom- ing special event. Flyers are beipg distributed throughout the community by the youth and adults of his congrega- tion. He expects a packed auditorium and suggests people come early for a choice in seating. All seats are free, with a collection be- ing received during the pro- gram to help defray the costs . of this weekend production. Because of the dramatic impact of the presentation, a special junior church service will be conducted in the church's lower auditorium • for children ages three to seven, during the perfor- mance. The church has a supervised nursery for in- fants and toddlers, so welcome the entire family for the occasion. The play will be presented ONE NIGHT ONLY, Sunday at7p.m. School operetta well attended As scheduled the Clinton and District Christian School held their operetta, "Rip Van Winkle," on May 13 and 14. Many students were able to illustrate their talents through this play to an au- dience of about 700 persons. Many thanks and much ap- preciation goes out to the directors, organizers, costume designers, sewers, and all others who helped to make the play another suc- cess. If you have any questions concerning the school and Christian Education feel free to call or visit the school. r HEAVEN'S GATES AND HELL'S FLAMES ._ "t - "A dramatized real life presentation you'll never forget.".

( Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Executive director to speak at MacKay Centre, June 4 on co-operative housing On June 1 a new com- munity in London will be ready to receive its mem- bers. This is the Westminster Housing Co-operative of 40 townhouses built for families and senior people under London Community Homes Inc., an organization which provides education and support to groups interested in forming co-ops. West- minster estminster is the only ,co- operative housing which has been built in London in the past decade. Construction on another 130 units is expected to begin this year. The purpose of the co- operative housing is to provide good, affordable housing for those who need it. It is especially suitable for persons who have com- munity spirit combined with a pride of ownership. There is no down ' payment, but each resident leases his unit at cost from the co-op. Increases in payments in subsequent years are geared to the increase in cost of ' maintenance. Any change. in housing ' charges must be discussed and voted on at a general members' meeting. Each resident over 18 has a vote. Co-operatives are operated on the un- derstanding that people can live better and achieve more through co-operation than through competition. Co- operative housing offers: 1. Monthly housing charges which cover only the cost of operating the units - non -profit. 2. Security in the fact that your building will not be sold out from under you.. You may live in the co-op as long as you' are a member in good standing. 3. A community spirt which grows from people working with each other to MONUMENTS.
