Clinton News-Record, 1946-04-04, Page 3THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1946 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE THREE Time, And The Use We Make Of it By "I'EG" Just how do we consider the pas- sing of time? Some think of it as going along with a measured tred and others find that it goes very quickly. There is a picture by Crane, entitled "The Chariots of the Fleet- ing Hours." On that canvas the artist represents the hours as being drawn by four wild horses, driven by youths who incessently urged the horses on even lashing them to continued great- er speed. In the meantime the sun sinks and the night hurries to meet the coming chariot. This gives us a very good idea of those words, "I must work while it is day, for the night cometh;' Our life time is se short that we will .need to fill every hour in doing God's work. Speaking of clocks, we have gone a long way from the' old sand glass which was somewhat similar to our hour glass of today. • Then there came what was called the Rock System, where two forked upright pieces were • hammered into the ground and a rod placed across them. Stones were laid on the ground at various distances to record the shadow cast by the cross piece. On the same basis of shadow was the sun dial. We see many of these modernized today. It is interesting to watch howcomparatively. accurate they in recording time. A much needed Iesson may be learned from the inscription on one of the most noted of these. "1 record only the sunny hours." Let us try to forget the trying things of life and remem- ber- what is pleasant. The water clock is supposed to have been invented by an Athenian by the name of Alchimedes. The dial and in- dicator are run by a current of water. Since radios have come in, what a pleasure it is for us to hear Big Ben from London, England, and to realize that we are a part of the British Continent—stealth, of Nations whose centre is there, III olden day's each district had its own standard of time but as years passed this ]ed to confusions and disorder and it was found necessary to have one standard time. The whole world is now governed by Greenwich observatory, England. The time there recorded is right to the thousandeth part of a second. This accuracy is! maintained by the combined clocks of the observatory. We ask where does Greenwich observatory gdt its time.; Man can make clocks, but he has to i go to God to get the correct time to set them by. The stars in the firma- ment of Heaven, are the most depend- able of all time pieces and they are responsible for the exact time by th which the world is governed today. s We realize fully the importance of time and yet how careless we are, not n only of our own time, but also that 1 of others. We make appointments and so often we have little regard for the moments or half hours we keep h others waiting. The following story carries its own message. Eight Quaker ladies made an appointment to meet at a certain time. Seven were punctual but the eighth was fifteen minutes late. As we nearly always do she began making an excuse for her tardi- e it ness. The reply front one of those who were on time was a lesson which we would all do well to take to our- selves. "I am sorry, friend, that thee should have wasted thine own quarter of an hour; but thee had no right to waste one hour and three quarters more of our time, which was not thine own." . How true that is. It is something we should look into and be very care- ful about. It is indeed a very selfish habit to make an appointment and then not keep it. Do we not realize that the time of other'people is important. . Those of us who are older can look back wih a -great deal of pleasure to the" eight -clay clock which used to adorn the wall of one of the rooms in our - home, usually it was the kitchen. On Saturday night it was wound and that kept it going and striking the hours for the next week. It had a good sized pendulum. The upper part was usually square and showed the face with: good sized figures. . The lower part, •in most cases, showed a scene of some sort and in the centre of the glass was a circle throughwhich g the pendulum could be seen carrying on its per- petual back and forward movement. No electric t clock of todaycan ever take the ti place of that old friend, the kitchen clock. The same old clock would go for years if properly looked after and there are many lessons we can learn from the care of it. It had to be kept clean and that applies. to us today. We should not only preserve the cleanliness of our bodies, but also our" minds. We just have so -much time, so why do we spend that time in reading and in talking about things which are not always what they should be. We read so much in the papers today of im- morality. The crimes which are be- ing committed in these try i;' tem s iitust have been harbored in th@ minds of men and women and 1llstead of being thrust out, were gleed a Peet - ng place and brooded (Ver until they gained full control of the would be criminal. There are books being written and published today which are nothing more than filth. Why have they a place in our stores and book stalls? Because the public are demanding that sort of reading. Then comes the question, what kind of minds have he people who are reading them? There is. just one answer. Their minds are just as degraded as the books which they are reading. One would ink they would be ashamed to be. een with the books. A. person is o higher than his thoughts. Many eople today are demanding a very ow type of immoral, suggestive book and they are getting them and are spending God's good time, which He as given them to work for Him in filling their minds with reading which eaves them with thoughts which they would not want written on their oreheads.. We ale taught to move the hands f a clock in a forward direction, so t our 'lives we should continually OBITUARY MRS.

BY WIRE • The time to solve the servant problem once and for all is when you are building or modernizing your home. The greatest modern domestic servant is electricity. How well and to what extent electricity can serve you, now and in the future, depends on how well your "servant's entrance" is designed ...: how wisely your home is wired. Inadequate wiring limits the use of electricity. It leads only to inefficient opera- tion of lights and appliances. But adequate wiring ... threewire service to the ,house, with proper size circuits in the home and plenty of outlets in every room .. overcomes these difficulties, and gives you full use of these modem servants. Electrical home appliances increased rapidly in number and variety before the war. They are now reappearing and will continue to multiply. Homes that were wired only for the needs of 20 years ago should now be rewired to suit the wonder- ful new "electrical servants" to come. Hydro's low-cost dependable service enables you to use these modern servants to the full if you have provided for them. In planning your new home, put adequate wiring at the top of your list: if you are improving or building a home, ask your Hydro for the book- let "Adequate Wiring for the Postwar Electric Homes of Canada."
