Clinton News-Record, 1948-05-20, Page 3THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1948", CLINTON NEWS -RECORD Mary and Martha By "PEG" On the way to Jerico, just over the crest of the Mount of Olives, about two miles from Jerusalem, lies the little village of Bethany. It is a place very famous in the gospel story. 'Here was perhaps the only home Jesus knew in the three years of 'His 'Lartthly min- istry. It is presumed that Jesus spent Wednesday of -the last week of his Earthly ministry at this home. In that village lived Mary and Martha and Lazarus. In John's gospel chapter 11 we have the story of the raising of Lazarus from the 4.4ad and in John 12-1 we have the last ment- ion of Lazarus in connection with the home. We also have one of the most beautiful stories of God's Word. A few days previous to this Jesus had raised Lazarus from klre dead.

Images fihoneet.4 by the dhector WOW noosed the Pharisees were determined that something should be done to stop, the great work which Christ was doing. In order to escape them, for His time had not yet come, Jesus went to Bethany for a day of .quietness. We can visualize that household composed of Jesus, Mary, Martha and Lazarus. .Even while Jesus was there many Jews, knowing that He was there came, not per- haps particularly to see Him, but that they might see Lazarus whom Christ had brought back to life after he had been dead foue.days. Practically nothing is said a- bout Lazarus except that he was present at the meal. The story centres around the sisters Mary and Martha. They are two charac- ters which are very common at the present day. These two sisters are very often brought up in a contraversial manner, and both receive a great deal of criticism. Martha served and Mary spent her time in com- munion with her Saviourc From that day to this these two sisters have been typical of two types of womenhood, those who serve and thsoe dho for reason of their own are willing to let others do the work. We can in imagination see Jesus with Mary kneeling at His feet. They are talking about the high- est things of life. It may be Jesus is telling her about what is going to happen to Him and His follow- ers during the week which is to begin the next day by the triump- hant entry into Jerusalem, pro- bably the subject of their conrer- sation is the restoration to the home of their dear brother Laz- arus, Christ may be explaining gospel portions to her which she did not just quite understand. At any rate while they are enjoying themselves in a quiet way we can see Martha hurrying around from place to place preparing the meal, As she looks at her sister quietly enjoying herself she may have been thinking "Why can Lazarus not sit with the Master and enter- tain Him while Mary comes and helps me. I am always left with the work to do". Undoubtedly this kept bothering her until we are told in Luke 10:40 that she came to Jesus and said "Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her there- fore that she help ine." How ch- aracteristic that is of affairs not only of the homes but of the world to -day. So many people are feeI- ing that the burden of the work is left for them when in reality we know little of what real hard work is. What would we do if we had to go back to the days of the pioneers when there was little pleasure -it was all work and hard work at that. There are few of those men and women now living to tell the tales of those days. The answer of Jesus to Martha was "Martha, Martha. thou art careful and troubled about many things; but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken WITNESSED RIOTING SEAFORTH --Miles McMillan son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Mc- Millan, Seaforth, who is station- ed at Bogota, Colombia was an eye witness of the week of riot- ing which wrecked the city fol- lowing the assassination of Jorge Eliecer Gaitan. away from her." As our Saviour spoke those words to the troubled woman he was sympathetic with her. He understood the problems with which she had to 'contend as He is thoroughly in accord with such problems to -day. There are many women to -day who are just of the same charact- er as Martha and Mary of this Bible story. Just where, as women do we stand? We quite realize that Jesus was absolutely right in the partial rebuke He spoke to Martha. There is nothing so im- portant as the choice we make as regards Jesus Christ but we can follow Christ closely and yet not neglect the duties which, lie be- fore us in our work day by day. Selfishness can from,time to time creep into our lives. It is right for us to attend the services in the House of the Lord and yet do we at times do so forgetting that poss- ibly we might stay at home and let a Mother go who cannot leave the house unless some responsible person is in charge. Probably a young couple lives near us who would like to go to church to- gether but who ,cannot do so on account of a little family. Would it not be kind of us to offer once in a while to stay with the child- ren and thus allow the parents to go to a Service? There are more ways than one of serving God. Jesus could see into the hearts of both Martha and Mary, Martha had apparently lived a life of self sacrifice while Mary had perhaps sat to one side and let Martha do the work. So often we find that in our homes to -day. There is the patient seemingly tireless Mother who is up first in the morning and who is last to bed at night. Quite often instead of, training her sons and daughters to help with the burden of the home she would rather do it herself than haye any argument over it. Can- not our young people see that their duty lies in helping to keep the home together? There are many wonderful Mothers who are not only playing the part of Mar- tha but they are truly Mary's as far as their close loving associat- ion with their Master is conserned. If they were not so their lives in many instances would indeed be difficult. Their faith in their divine Saviour has helped them to play the part of Martha as well as Mary. As we look back over the years and study the history of our count- ry we realize that the pioneers of this fair Dominion had not only the characteristics of Martha for her hard working, unselfish life. but also had the most prominent of Mary's qualities, the love of their Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. May we one and all have the magnificent qualities of these two women, and may we take Jesus into our lives for in no other way can we expect to be true followers of our Lord.

VOTING; RULES FOR AIR FORCE ARE DISCUSSED The Provincial Government changed regulations governing the elections at Centralia Flying Training , School and the Clinton Radio School because it feared the outcome of the Air Force vote. Frank Fingland, KC., Liberal candidate for Huron, charged, in ah address at Exeter Wednesday evening last. Mr. Fingland charged that the Drew Government changed regu- lations governing the eligibility of the air school voters because "Mr. Drew is none too happy about the way these boys from the Prairie Provinces, B.C., Que- bec and the Maritimes may vote in the coming elections." In the February by-election, the Air. Force schools at Clinton and Centralia were considered as municipalities, and the only vote qualifications were that the men be 21, British subjects and resi- dents of Canada a year. See Reduced Vote In the June 7 elections, the Air Force personnel, to be eligible to vote, must have been residents of Ontario for one year, according to a proclamation under orders PAGE 'TiiAlm Force stations and a separate voters' list to be drawn up for the airmen. This is expected to reduce the number of eligible voters at the two ,air stations, since the popula- tion Is constantly shifting. "I would ask ' Mr. Drew this question," said Mr. Fingland, "why differentiate 'between these boys and civilians? Why should they not have the same rights as a civilian from the Prairie Prov.- inves who has been living in On- tario less than a year?" The Liberal candidate pointed out that air force schools deserved consideration from the people of Huron because they contributed to the income of the neighboring municipalities. Cites blousing' Problem ` One problem in connection with the two air stations is housing, said 'Mr, Fingland. "I have been in some of the places where these people live, and the conditions are not too good." The speaker referred to war- time housing schemes under way at Clinton and Exeter designed to provide 50 additional houses in each town. "This relief has not come from issued by the chief electoral of- the province," said Mr. Fingland, Deers. of Ontario, an employee of "the Provincial Government has the present government. • not contributed one nickel." This regulation requires a sep- arate enumeration for the Air The Liberal candidate promised housing aid from the province if a Liberal Government is elected." and Ross, Detroit. rt A private funeral was held from red his home Wednesday afternoon, May. 12, conducted by Rev.
