Clinton News-Record, 1946-10-31, Page 3THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1946 CLINTON NEWS -RECORD "METEORS" By Many on a recent night had the great and very unusual pleasure of seeing a Ishower of meteors. .A. week previously the comet Zinner had leas• sed anross the heavens and on the night in question the meteors were dropping from the tail of, that noted comet. Those who were able to see this display say it was something which they will never forget. It was indeed a disappointment to, many that on ac- count of a misty atmosphere it could not be seen in all nares of the country, No description a anything Ince that can ever take the place of the real thing. "The heavens declare the • glory of God; and the firma- ment sheweth his handy work." Psalm la:l. How can anyone gaze on a sight such as that and believe there is no God? The advance of astronomy has been made only during the recent centuries. Abeut a eentury and a half before Christ, Hipparehus announced that there were only , 1,002 stars, and Ptolemy, ihi the beginning of the second century •of the Christian era gave as his version that there were only about 1,026. At the present time if we with ;the naked eye could sur- vey the whole celestial sphere we could count about 3,000. Jeremiah, in Inc propheay made the statement that the stars were as countless as the sands on the sea shore, but it was not until the invention of the tele- scope that this was moved true. When Lord Rosse's powerful instrument was turned to the sky, the number of stars was increased to 400,000,000. As we look at the firmament can we imagine the enormity of the planets and stars in the heavens? . We learn that it would take elect- ricity travelling at the rate of 180,000 miles a second eight minutes to reach the sun; four enears to meet the near- est fixed star. News of the Battle of Waterloo fought M 1815 is just now reaching some stars; the story of Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America is arriving at some other stars, and the wonderful story a the birth of Jesus Christ, the greateat child ever born and the Saviour of the world has jut been given to some other bodies of the solar system. To our minds the greatness of the eolar system means infinity but as we compare it to the atupendouslove of the Creator of that system, it means nothing. As we look back to our childhood days we can recall when we had the Mea that the world was elat, then we were taught that the earth was round, flattened at the poles and that we were living on the outer edge of a huge ball which was revolving in space and that the firmament was common to all the planets and stars just as it is to us. Every few years there is some out- standing event in astronomy. Some five or six years ago we ebserved with much interest the close passing of the two planets Jupiter and Venus as they came so close together that there was just about the diameter of the moon between them. How inter- esting all these things are! It would indeed be wonderful if as little child- ren we had been taught the study of astronomy. So often the question arises among people, "Why do the stars and planets as they move around, not strike one' another"? We must realize that God who is the Head of the Universe, has control of all these things and there is a definite system upon which these heavenly bodies revolve, We have no need to worry about such a catas- trophe overtaking the world. In the beginning God and the same God will rule through all Eternity. The magnitude of the world is in- comprehensible. As childeen we could understand Iittle about it and as years have passed, the knowledge of astron- omy has increased very little is far as we are concerned, but that is no mason why we cannot make a study of this great subject. .Am sure we would all find it very interesting and worthwhile, and much more so, if we took it up as a family or among friends. tAt times 'we bother and worry ebout trivial things, which is absolute FARE AND ONE-QUARTER FOR THE ROUND TRIP : GO: Any time from 12:00 noon Friday, Noy. • alh, unlit 2:00 p.m. Monday, Nov. 111h.

The evening was spent in games and social activities. Diving the even- ing, an address was read by Morgan Jones and a large mirror was pre- sented to the bride and groom, by Stewart Parbuhat. A very fitting reply of thanks was made by Harry, Oa• behalf of himself and his bride. Lunch was served by the ladies of the community. Farm Forum Meeting The first meeting for the new season of the Sa No. 4 Fa= Radio Forum was held on Monday night at the home of Mr. and 1VIrs. Ira Merrill. There weee 13 areeent. The group discuese,d the topic, "Are Farm Living Standards High?' Following the diecussicna a recreation period was conducted by Miss Helen Crieh and Mrs,. L Merrill. , The next meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Hebden, with Morgan Jonee and Fred Lobb to be in charge of the recreation period. Lunch was served at the close of the meeting, proof that we have not untold faith in the God who can govein 'bodies such as the comet which some were fortunate enough to see recently and such- planets as Jupiter which are between 3,200 and 1,500 times the size of our Earth. Have we any rea- son to belieia that He will not care for us? The God a God of great things Mime? No, indeed. We read in His inspired word that His care, which is always loving is extended even to the spanows. Then let us answer the question, are we not of More value than they? • The infinity of the firmament can very well be eoanpared to the love of God. We could search far before we would find anything which would make such a good comparison. His love towards us is unbounded. There is no possible limit to it. The love of God is so great that it implies mercy. Id we were to re- ceive our just deserts from God we would have little happiness here, God is juts but He shows unbounded mercy towards as. Jupiter is known as the King of Gods. It is a planet of storms about which our email knows nothing. As God has made our planet a place of comparative calm so He can either sweep away the so believed storms in our lives or else give us strength to stand up against them. Do we not believe that or why is it that we do not triest Trim m we go from day to day? Ail iliteeesting story is told of 'two adventurers who were crossinga desert. They had a plan of their trips which had a very careful deecription of the land marks width would show them their way. 'Unfortunately a severe •storm arose whichdrove them inta a cave. When the storm had ceased and they emerged they found that their chart was of no ;use as the majority of the landinarks had been swept away. One of the men went paniey but his fellow adventurer ee- rnained quiet and calm. When evening came he showed to his companion that without a doubt they could fol- low their way by means of the stars. Many times it is a good thing for us when the landmarks which we have been following aye swept away as in that way we are compelled to look to our Saviour for guidance, A splen- did reality. for us to make a part of our lives is the motto "Jesus never fails."
