Clinton News-Record, 1946-08-15, Page 3THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1945 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE THREE SHADOWS - By "PEG" • Many children, before they come into this world have a Shade* cast on their lives. A newspaper article recently stated in conneetion with an international love triangle in which four little lives were inVolved, that no* -since the parents were married that it woe hopedat least for the sake of the Children that nothing further would be said about it, that the surviving three little tots might miser become acquainted with the tragedy in their lives. Will such be the case? According to the ways of the world it will be an •absolute poseibility. The ,shadow of the folly of the parents will in all probability follow them as long as they live. HOW unkind the World is. In tliis we must include those who profess to be Christ- ians for at times they eannot keep anything in the line of gossip anY more than can those who have never accepted Christ as their personal Saviour. There are other shadows whicie hang over an unborn child. One of these is disease of which perhaps the meet to be deplored is that terrible soeial ailment against which our Gov- ernments are strenuously fighting. As a father or mother looks it their tiny infant one wonders just what they think as they realize that they have been the means of plaeing a shadow over that little one which may be a handicap to it all the days of its life. Rapid strides are being made by the advancement in medicine towards combatting this cruel hereditary as well as infectieus disease which has Afflicted not only those in the armed tercets lelt also those in civilian life. There ere some who as Ittle totS have been afflicted with tome child - 'Mod disease and who have attained an almost enviable Weer fft Very notable arneeigu these is Helen Kellerfro% her infancy was blind, deaf and dumb. At the age of -She took her Bachelor of Arts degree. She has bee^rne a scholar, a Tinguist, a poet and an author. It is true a great deal of her success is to her very patient teachee. One has only to see Helen Kel'er to realize what she has eceomelished, She turn- ed her *ice to the sun and the shadow on her life fell behind her. Where did se get the strength to combat these difficulties? She believed in God and also thought it a duty to help others She east a shadow of her brightness and optimiem upon all with whom she came in contact. 1 We read that the very finest of laces made on the continent are Woven on specially constructed looms. The roan is altogether darkened with the exception of the light from one small window which falls directly on the pattern. There is just one lace maker in each room •and she sits in the shadoW Only the result of her work is in the light. We may learn many lessons from shadoWs. There are two kinds of shadows. Those which we east on the lives of others and those which ethers cast on Our lives., There are Many instances of where Christians have cast shadaws for goosi and those shadows have been the means of bringing soane one to Christ. One of the most interesting lives is that of David Livingstone, the weaver boy who gave hs life for Africa. Un- heard of for •some time a search party under the direction of IL M Stanley was sent out to locate him. The search leader's first words were "Dr. Living_ stone, I presume," but some time later he referred to him as follows: "I lived with this, man week after week and I watched him. I saw patience beyond anything I had ever dreamed possible. I stood by him as he loved those heathen men, I watched him almost day and night giving himself to oth- ers, and I could not help ft. I became a Christian by his side." Only when this great missionary explorer stands before the judgment seat of Christ will he know how many he has led to his Saviour. At that same mercy seat we will realize how rnany or how few we heVe Influenced to accept Christ, and it will only be there that we will know just what our own life i has counted for here. Just vehat, fluence is our shadow eastieg for Christ'? We worider 'just bow our shadow can be cast for good There are many ways and if we ask Christ to guide us He will give us the opportunity to speak for Him. We may not be able to go into a pulpit to preach Christ who died for us, but we may so live that others will want to follow the Christ whom we represent.. We may invite some friend or acquaintance to eo to God's House with us. Recently a man in a distant city sent a message to a very elderly minister that he had heard him preach a sermon on a certain text and it had been the means of his conversion. Would we not feel that we were doing a great work for Christ if someone whom we had in- t. 50 OZONE, MAYBE .MR.TRAIL'LL WANT ONE OF OUR. PUPS 2 76e/R.i Fleet' Dishict Sales Manager ' EARL V.

How much better that would be than spending God's day in amusements and in breaking His comanandment, "Remember the pqbbath day to keep it holy.' • aw We failed Le giVe a word of encouragement to some one who was downhearted and apparently defeat- ed? In these days there are many who are sunk in sin who might be Tfted above it if one of God's servants would just pray to God to give thern a message of encouragement to pass on to that needy one. There are many who fearing to face the future, in some way end it all. It may be it could have been prevented if some one had just spoken an encouraging word. We are not the only ones Whose lives have been darkened by the shadow of trial, sorrow and bereave- ment. There are many much more worse off than we ave. If we are Christiaps we know there is One who will carry our burdens. Every one casts a shadow of in- fluence. iAt times little children who have been attending Sunday School STEPHEN VETS HONORED • CREDTTON—By word and presen- tation of checks the people of Stephen Township paid tribute to 138 men and women of the armed forees from that district at a public meeting in the community park here. Dr. Hobbs Tay- lor, MLA. for South Huron, unveiled the honor roll, which contained 151 will in their own tittle innocent way carry' home a Message which will be the means of the conversion of par- ents to a much better life and even to their acceptance of Christ as their Saviour. • There is one shadow through which we must all pass but we do not need to go alone. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the, shadow of death I will fear no evil: for thou are with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me," Psalm 23:4, What a comfort that verse, is to us! If we are true followers of Christ we need have no fear of that "valley of the shadow of death." Why? Be- cause Christ has promised to be with us. A little child going along the street with his hand in his father's street with his hand in his father's has not the slightest fear that any- thing will happen to him. He knows that his father will protect and save him if at all possible, even with his. life. Christ has done that for us. He aas given His life for you and for me in order that if we accept His free gift of Salvation we may spend eter- nity with Him. He faces the light and at our request our sins are placed in the shadow behind Him. What a bles- sed thought that is, but if we do not accept Him as our Saviour we have no promise that we shall inherit ever- !esting life. Whet eit we going to do with Jesus? It is the most serious question in the world today. We must answer it at once, for the time for each one of us may be very short, shorter than we have any idea of "There are shadows of sorrow That darken life's way, But behind the dark shadows Shines love's kindly way, They are o»ly shadows. There are shadows of fear, Bringing thoughts that dismay, If we walk in His love, They will all pass away, They are only shadows. There are shadows of doubt, That steal into our minds, If we look to the cross, Blest assurance we find, They are only shadows." "PEG," names including those of the 13 boys' who died in service. Herbert Elber, Crediton, whb was clerk of Stephen Township for nearly 30 years, pre- sented the scrolls to their next of kin, in remembrance of those who died. * * * TAX RATE SET .,LUCKNOW—At the August meet- ing, the -Village.
