The Great Lesson of the Grind Stone
By son
Recently in one of our papers
there was a picture of a grind
atone, Apparently some office
workers were preparing to go on
holidays and were rushing .to
finish .,up their work, The next
picture shows them away hurry-
ing hither and yon to find a good
time and the • third one of the
series shows them back home a-
gain with their. noses to the grind
stone. How like life that is, one
constant rush from one thing to
another and in the midst of . it
ell we are getting away from the
most essential things of life.
Coming back to grind stones.
As one walks through a barn yard
almost without exception ism see
one those old time foot tread
machines used for sharpening
axes, scythes, mower knives etc,
As we stand and look at it we
wonder just what comparison the
old grind stone can have to our
individual life. The answer is
that we are made ready for the
presence of God just as we are
smoothed and sharpened by the
grind stone of life's experiences.
Some people claim that Iife is
a disappointment. It may be we
started out with plans for the
future. We have very high am-
bitions and that is right if we
take God into them, It may be
that the one on whom we depend-
ed for support has been called
away and we are left without fin_
maces to early on our project. If
we are anxious enough to attain
our objective we will find a way
to overcome that by earning our
own way through our Education,
It may be sickness has stricken us
and we have little to look for-
ward to but a bed of pain. That
!should not keep us down, for if
we,have given our will into God's
keeping we will know that He
has some purpose in it and in all
probability our condition will
drhw us nearer to Him. If we pray
earnestly He will give us opport-
unities to carry on His work,
There are many things which
may change our plans. They are
just a grind stone smoothing out
our life in order that we may be
better qualified to carry on His
work.
Perhaps in our younger days
we have tried to layaside money
for our older years. We have in-
vested it as we thought safely
then has come a crash and we
have been left without anything
In speaking to an Evangelist one
man thus told his story, ending
with that he had lost everything,
The Evangelist replied. No, you
have not lost everything, for the
first time in your life you inay
realize what your greatest asset,
Jesus Christ, means to you.
OBITUARY
THOMAS HENRY' CLARK
Rev. T. E. Suinners, Hespeler,
officiated at the funeral service
held at the Ball and Mutch Fun-
eral Horne, High St. Clinton, on
, Saturday, August 21, for Thomas
Henry Clark. Interment followed
• in Bayfield Cemetery. Pallbear-
ers' were Murray Grainger, Leslie
Stirling, Leslie MacMillan, John%
Lindsay, Elgin Porter and Allan
Maxwel2.
' Mr, Clark, born in Goderich on
September 5, 1864, was a son of
the late James Clark and Ellen
Lawler. The family later dived
at Blyth where their father oper-
ated a blacksmith and Carriage
shop. Far a number of years Mr.
Clark lived in Michigan where
he was doing painting and decor-
ating . work in Port Huron and
Tower and later operated a con-
fectionary store in Detroit. I1e
returned to Canada about 1920
and operated a confectionary store
at Dresden till 1925 when t he
moved to Bayfield and since then
till his health failed a few years
During the war many parents
felt that the grind stone was do-
ing its work by taking their sons
and daughters from them, many
Mothers and fathers are still
grieving over their loss and will
do so as long as they live. Our
heart -flet sympathy, goes out to
them. We wonder if we realize
with the exception of the loss of
our young people just how little
Canada suffered during World
War II. Perhaps it has been our
privilege to talk to some of those
who have come to Canada from
the D. P. camps of Europe. God
did not require us to stand' by
while those nearest and dearest
to us were killed in bombing
raids, nor were we compelled to
witness the actual shooting of our
friends because they hesitated to
obey the orders of the enemy, nor
were we herded into those awful
concentration camps, the brutality
of whose officers and guardians,.
some of them women, could never
be believed. Can we wonder
that when they come to Canada
they can hardly believe their
eyes, when they see our fine
buildings while they recall the
bombed homes which they have
left behind. Some are here, the
only one left of a family. When
we feel inclined to grumble about
our lot in life, let us just think of
others to whom the war really
meant something, When using the
grind stone on the world we may
well ask ourselves the question.
Why did God spare us when oth-
ers suffered so terribly. May God
grant that the talks between
Russia and the Western powers
may bring about peace.

Many of the great discoverers,

e possession of a new upper plate
- which she had slipped into her
companion's pocket during a pic-
ature show.
When a driver answered a call
and was told by an agitated
byoung lady to catch a certain car
headed for Bayfield, he lifted
asurprised eyebrows.
With the girl in the car, he
headed toward the highway and
finally curiosity got the better of
him. He asked what it was all
about. She told him. It seems she
and the boy friend went to a pic-

new upper plate became uncom-

coat pocket and then forgot to re-
claim it.
The taxi driver pressed hard on
the gas and soon the boy, friend's
car was overtaken. The teeth were
handed over, the boy friend con-
tinued on his way, and the taxi,
with its relived passenger, head-
