(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Church page 1 • , Jesus would lift your mind up BY THE REVEREND A. C. YOUNG Throughout the. ministry of Jesus; by precept and example, he continually sought to .direct the attention of his hearers and followers to God; to° lift their minds above the material world and its cares into the calm'eternity of God. In the New. Testament, we read how his simplest teachings in this regard were futile in many cases. In St. Luke 12:13 one of his hearers said: "Master, speak to -my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me," to which Jesus replies: "Man who made me a judge or a divider over you? Take heed and beware of covetousness, for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth." Then he spoke a parable: "The ground of a certain rich, man brought forth plentifully: and he thought within himself, saying, What position of pleasure Ameimmismoi before God. One writer likens our present generation to a shop into which some mischief -maker has entered unobserved and has changed the price label's around so that cheap things are priced high and valuable things are priced lois. A sad awakening always follows when man in need turns suddenly to rely on his possessions and finds that what he thought was of great value proves to be of little worth, and what he has disdained as worthless is inistur: shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns and build greater: and there will I bestow all my •frui,t,s and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall he required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." Jesus at all times sought to help men to help them see and believe in things most worthwhile to the end that they might find security, and he encouraged his hearers to. "seek first the kingdom of God." Regardless of His teaching and His sacrifice, man has tended to disregard and ignore this teaching to put first things first and things have become confused that man isn't sure which things really are first. Some put service to man first. Others set up idols in the form of power, wealth, education, of inestimable worth. On the other hand, I can think -of many who have found the secret of true living. When the hour of crisis`came and troubles and agony befell them, they were serene, even jovial for they had within them that which, was true gold, Herein lies the true mission of the Christian church. It has a glorious opportunity to share in this true mission at home and overseas. The primary mission of God and of His Son, Jesus Christ Whom He sent to redeem needy man. a LIFEfor INSURANCE Terry Crowley representing London GODERICH Liffe 521-9075 For Wedding Banquets Funeral Designs, Green Plants, Hanging Plants and Pots, plus a full line of Fresh, Silk and Dried Flowers head for...

He .went about his Royal Engineers work on horseback and was a fine rider, Mrs. Fellowes says she remembers one time when on a family trip out west, he stopped to talk to someone riding a lovely palomino horse. "My Stepfather sud- denly asked if he could go for a ride, and in 'a second --just wearing ordinary travel clothes-- off he galloped just like 'Riders of:the Purple Sage'. The owner of the horse was quite in- trigued!" From 1920 to 1924 he continued his career in the Royal Engineers and was stationed in the Northwest Frontier Province of India. There the British Indian Army, including Indian officers and Gurkha soldiers also, worked to keep law and order in the wild mountain region surrounding the Khyber Pass and border of Afghanistan. Life was full of adventure due to the activities of the con- stantly warring Mahsud and Wazir tribesmen, says Mrs. Fellowes.
