Clinton News Record, 1945-01-10, Page 3THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 946 CLI'NTON NEWS -RECORD Our Conscience By `MPEG" The proprietor of a Florida fruit. farm and his wife were recent visit- ors in Canada. Just as they were ready to start for home, word came of the hurricane which was heading for the east coast of Florida. They, of course, were anxious. They ex- plained that in tropical countries where their farms are often destroy- ed by very severe storms there are warning signals& given usually forty- eight hours in advance through a control system. The result is that they are able 'to make at least some preparations to protect their prop, erty. It might be concluded that the storm itself in advance points out the danger of its own force. Just exactly the width of the path of the hurri- cane is not usually known. Those who have witnessed the approach of such a storm describe it as being a terrible sight. How doesthatcompare with Sin? Itis not comparable to sin at all for sin is an insidious thing. Temptation strikes us' very quickly and unless we are in constant communication with out Saviour who isthe operation of ourcontrol system, we may enter into a contract with Christ's adver- sary which had keep us out of Eter- nal life with Him who died for us that we might have everlasting life in the realm over which He reigns, Our conscience, ,unless we have deadened it by continually opposing it, will keep us out of danger if we will let it but very often through our own doings it has lost all power over us; Today a police net is out trying to trace mere youths who have infringed the law to such an extent that life has been taken. One cannot help, (even although not knowing them) looking back to the time when each one of those boys was .a mere baby. A doctor attending a confinement case, looking at the mite of humanity, said, "That child knows . nothing. What he learns must be taught him." The paper said these boys were from respectable homes. Many a son or daughter of Christian parents has gone down to defeat in the battle of life. The devil has gained the mastery over thein and they have broken the hearts of their parents. This downfall at times begins with the over indulgence of their parents. Even very young children have the idea that the world owes them a living and they are not very old be• fore they defy their parents and rather than have a scene they are given in to. By the time this has happened a few times the parents realize that the control they should have over their children no longer exists. If parents are what they should be they will take a keen interest in all the doings of their sons and' daughters. They will be companions of their children. It is true that at the present time there are few homes in which a room can be ,spared as a Place where the children can play, but nearly every child has a hobby of some kind, if they have not, they should be encouraged to develop one. When your child conies to you and says, `Daddy, or mother, will you please show me how to do this?" do not in a gruff way say, "Oh, run along, I have not got time to bother with it." If you do you are taking the first step towards snaking that child seek companionship outside of the home. How much better it would be to say, "All right son or Mary, we will work it out together. I am inter- ested in what you are doing and I would like you to help me in my hobby." Any little girl who is prop- erly taught would be delighted to help her mother with the housework and feel that the home is partly hers. Then as they become old enough there are the Brownies, Cubs, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts which will give them a study into outdoor life and nature. How much better for them to spend an afternoon in God's sunshine rath- er than to have them sitting in e . stuffy "movie" looking at a picture which although censored is very often not uplifting, is uneducational, and which is claimed by many to be the foundation of the crime wave which has swept our own and other countries for many years and which has apparently reached its highest level at the present time. How much better it. is to make pals of, our children from their early days, than to have to stand to one side as an officer of the law enters and takes them away. What a terrible thing it must be! "Honesty is the best policy." We can recall the days. of our childhood when we were taught that. Times when, it may be our parents found us telling something which was not true. They took time. to tell us the folly of being dishonest and what it would ultimately lead to. People claim that all children pass through that stage. It may be they do, just as they use language which is not fitting for anyone. If they have learnd things like that in their homes it is a disgrace to those who taught them. Do parents realize that the treat- ment of their children at such times may make or mar their future lives, it may make them honest or dishonest for all time. Doubtless tonight there are people thinking, "Oh if I had only done this or that when he was young this perhaps would never have happened." Sometimes children• are so treated when they do tell their parents what they have been doing that they are afraid to confide in them again, thus they begin to tell things which are not true.. Instead of being led by kindness to talk freely and truthfully to their parents they are terrified for fear of the conse- quences of their admission to their guilt of some wrong doing. "Spare the rod and spoil the child" may be true in some instances, but not in all. Some children are only antagonized by receiving a whipping but will respond to kindness and visa versa. At the present time a magistrate is holding over sentence on some youth- ful criminals to consider whether the rod has been too long spared and whether he will give sentence of a whipping under supervision in the court to bring these lads who have an exalted opinion of themselves to the idea that they are not so clever after all. Parents tell us that they have to deal differently with their several children, that the punishment which will help one will be of no use at all to another. The problem of bringing up a family these days is anything but easy. Let us look at these young lads who, in any part of our country are facing the law. Take for instance those who are up for taking life. When they first became dishonest, doubtless their idea was just to get some money. We may be sure that in their wildest imaginings they never thought of killing anyone, Then their conscience in the first place warned them against evil doing they refused to listen until fipally they had no conscience. When that happens they have lost all touch with God. We can imagine there now as they look back to their first 'fall' into criminal life and they think. What they would give to be back to that crossroad, How different things would be for them now How glad they would be to listen to their con- science! It is too late now. They must deal with'the law in reference to their evil deeds. We feel that the Lord, whom they ignored is looking down in pity on them. All wrong doers enter into a contract with .Satan and unless they turn ,they may rest assured that Satan will forever have the mastery over then. We read in connection with the "Queen Elizabeth" landing recently at New York that on account of the high seas, she had perhaps the worst crossing she ever had, Our Lives may be compared to a sea voyage. Some clays are calm and the sailing fine, but that is not always the case. Grief, distress, worry and anxiety will come upon us. There will be storms and shoals, but with .Jesus our Pilot on board He will have control of our conscience. If the pilot on an ocean liner were to shut off the control WOMAN INJURED SEAFORTH-Mrs Caroline Box, Seaforth, suffered injuries to one eye and right shoulder and hand when the car she was driving south on No. 4 highway, a mile south of Moores- ville, plunged' into a ditch, rolled over and struck a tree. Mrs. Box, police said, was turning out to pass another car. Her foot is reported to have slipped from the', brake onto the accelerator, casing the car to turn completely around on theread and head into the east ditch, which was filled with about two feet of -water. After the car rolled and struck the tree, it rolled lack into the ditch, but Mrs. Box was able to get from the car- * * * FOUND DEAD IN CAR WI'NGHAM — Result of a heatt seizure, James Sangster, 69, life-long Howick Township resident, was found dead in his car. He was proceeding from his home in Howick to Clifford when he suffered: a seizure after cranking his . car. Al passing motor -1 ist noticed him slumped over the steering wheel. system hewould have no guide. We can have communication with our Heavenly Father by prayer. Let us constantly leave the control open so that we may hear His voice. Our conscience says that we must rebuke sin. How prone we are to see silt, know it is sin, and speak against it. Jesus always rebuked sin and we as His followers should do the same. We seem to be so afraid that some one will call us a Chris- tian. Should we not feel highly hon- ored to be considered a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus. We must realize that when we fail to rebuke sin we are siding with sinners and standing on very treacherous ground. We cannot help wonder if the downfall of the criminals of today could in any way be attributed to the lack of interest in them by Chris- tian people. Has any one ever tried to tell them that if they believed on the Lord Jesus Christ He would save them from their sin or have we seen the danger our young people are in, and yet have just gone merrily on our way, taking no responsibility whatever, and have been so terribly shocked when we read that the gang of robbers and murderers were just young like many of the youths we see today? A word to our young people is in the form of a warning, God has given each one of us a conscience. He will guide us by that if we will let Him, but if we persist in having our own way our conscience will become so blurred that we will not be able to see what is there indicated. Will we not take warning from the many who have gone down to defeat through the agency of the devil, be lieve on the Lord Jesus'Ohrist and be saved for all Eternity? "Leave nee not, for I am lonely, And the way I cannot see; Lest I wander into danger, Keep me Saviour near to Thee. Leave me not for darkness gathers Round about the path I tread; Leave nee not but let my footsteps Ever by Thy hand be Ied. Leave me not for sin is near me; With temptation life is fraught; Then through all life's toilsome journey, 0 my Saviour, leave me not!"
