Clinton News-Record, 1948-08-12, Page 3TI-1.",4513A'Y, AUGUST 12, 1948 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD fi PAGE THREE "OUR ` HELPER" By "PEG" It is strange indeed how little things can influence the whole course of our lives. During World War II a young Canadian soldier was walking down the street in an English town, He saw some dog kennels and being interested in pets he went in and asked if he might see the dogs. A friend- ship sprang up between the sold- ier and the family. When the war was over the Canadian represent- ative returned to his home in Canada and in the early part of this year his new found friends came out to begin life anew in the Dominion. - As day after day goes by we little know what our different contacts with people will mean to us. The world is very small after all and if we are contacting people it is seldom that a day goes by that we do not meet some one who has a mutual acquaint- ance with us. These meetings may be for good or they may have an Influence on us which will not be the very best. If ,we begin the day by asking God to guide us,. He will give us opportunities which will be helpful, not only to us, but also to those whom we meet. One day three university stud- ents passing along the street saw air elderly blind man reading front a book of Braille He had lost his. place. The last words he had read were "no other name". "no other name". The students laughed at him, then they went on their way. During the follow- ing days the words kept ringing. in the ears of one of them to such an extent that he finally gave his life to Jesus Christ to whom the phrase "no other name" applied. In all probabil- ity the blind man did not realize what a testamony he had. borne for His Master. There are many to whom the guidance and Companionship of Jesus means every thing, but there are others to whom His name means nothing. How path- etic it is! In our quiet hours let us just pass in review some of the many with whom we have come in con- tact and the influence their lives have had on ours. Perhaps not many of us have had the privilege of meeting men and women of renown, but some of our happiest associations have been with humble servants of our Lord and how we have enjoyed, their Christ- ian fellowship. Christ Himself was very humble. He belonged to the conin3on working class. • OF DETROIT FACING GRAND CIRCUS PARS The Tuller, a modern hotel for those who want the best!

HODGES, Mgr. jrrM w �M aaaarra • There is nothing to be ashamed of in hard work, as long as it is honest, A great feeling . of happiness comes to us, as we think of our friends many of Whom have stood beside us inrstimes when perhaps we have not enjoyed life as we might have done and when at other times we have had all the joy life could give us. We can look back at times when friends have gone far out of their way to ma life brighter fon us. How much we have to be thankful far in our friends. Do we take time in our prayers to thank God for them or do we just take their kindness as a matter of course. May God grant that we apprec- iate their thought of us! There are many of us who need friends. How can we expect to keep them if we do not try to proveour- selves friendly? The name of Jesus' Christ is above every name. God is the Supreme Ruler of Heaven. There is so much talk. to -day of bomb- ing. There is one thing we know absolutely. Heaven can never be bombed and what a joy it is to us to know that if it is our will to do so we may some day at the not too far distant future have a mansion in that realm, When we are worried let us just keep our minds on these things and keep 1?4fereus the name of Jesus Christ, We know from experience that when sorrow has come into our lives no name has brought the comfort to us like the name of our Saviour. He has given us the promise in John 14: 18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you", What that promise has meant - to the followers of Christ only they know! When difficulties which have seemed almost unsurmountable have come to us, the owner of the name of Jesus has taken our hand and has led us over them; when weary heads have lain on beds of pain the thought of His presence has smoothed the pillow and sleep has come with the knowledge that He is sharing our pain. "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear: It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds And drives away his fear. Dear Name, the Rock on which I build, My shield and hiding place, My never failing treasury filled With boundless stores of peace" We cannot afford to go on any longer in Iife without the assur- ance that we have as a constant Companion the one whose name is Jesus Christ. We may have joy and happiness in life but we will never know what true joy is until we take a firm stand for our Saviour. Why wait another moment? That moment may not be ours, but it may find us before the Judgment Seat of Christ. Peg" Seaforth Board Denies Liability Seaforth District High School Board, has served notice that it will not be responsible for costs of tuition of pupils resident in the school district, who attend schools in other districts, unless the at- tendance of the pupil has -been given prior approval. The matter came to a head when the board was faced with accounts from Exeter, Clinton and Mitchell district boards cov- ering tuition of Seaforth district pupils. The board instructed Sec- retary M. A. Reid to inform Ex- eter and the others their accounts would not be paid, since no ap- proval for the instruction of the pupils by other boards had been given and because transportation and facilities were available to the pupils at the Seaforth school. To avoid any future misunder- standing, the secretary was in- structed to inform other district boards of its decision. Aries Ga/ore!
