Clinton News-Record, 1946-12-05, Page 3THURSDA,Y, DECEMBER 5, 1946 MINTON NEWS -RECORD PAGE THREE “THAT FIRST TIME" By "PEG" Someone has mid: "There is al- ways a first time to everything." No habit efer develops without there ' being a first time. Our parents often look ahead to the great occasion when they listened for our first cry- which showed that we were aliveiViay they never have any regrets that we came into the world! We ourselves can remember when we eagerly looked forward to our first day at school. Probably some - time previously we had been intro- duced to our teacher to be. She ap- parently was pleased that we were about to join her ,class. Maybe we Were not long there when she regret- ted that we had not had quite so much of our own way at home. Pre- vious to our first day at school we had gone to Sunday School and how thankful axially of us are that we were brought up in homes where Christ was honored and where as young children we went with our parents to the House of God. It is a tragic thing that today so ineuy children have had no first day at aura or Sunday School. Then there was the first day we • went to work and the first time we gate the tithe of our earnings and our free will offering to the Lord's work. Many todatyl have no first time as far as that is concerned. The Lord owns everything we have and yet how loath we are to give back part of the whole which rightly be- longs to Him. From the beginning of time there has been a first time of everything. In Genesis 1:1 we read: ,'In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth." We understand that beyond that creation God was. We realize that from the foundation of the world all things which are now used were present. It has been these elements and put them to their peeper use. Since the creation of the world, sound has been in the air but it is just in cornparatively recent years that that sound has been so controlled that we eau bring it into our homes and froxn a amall box -like affair listen to the news of the world. The appearance of the mould from which Sir Alexander Fleming diecov- eyed penicillin had been present un- der similar eircuinstances for endless time but it *tie the perfecting of that diseovevy by Sir Aleatander which made possible the drug which up to the present is one of the greatest dis- coveries of all time. The power of electricity was alwaye in the world, but it was not until this century that our cities, towns end hamlets were lighted by it. One could go on and on quoting incidents such as these. God gave the power for these different utilities and then Ile raised up men and women to develop them. All these different discoveries had a first time. Begienings have not as a rule coine into being without disaster. Even in the realm of medicine many have lost their lives in trying to develop their discovery. This is true also in practically all lines of invention. IVIany of us can look back to the voyage of that marvellous palace of the sea, the "Titanic," She was just beginning a career of what was thought would be .a ship of renown when due to .some tragedy she ,struck an iceberg and sank with the loss of thousands ef lives. When the "Tit- ania" was built it was eonsidered that she was unsinkable, "Man pro- poses, but God disposes." When the world was created, God made it a thing of beauty in which to live. He placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They were to enjoy it and have all the pleasure have, but beside the occupants which God had placed there, sin crept in, with the result that sin hae - been always with us. The covenant being made with Adam, not only for him- self, but for his posterity; all ,man- kind, descending from him, lay ordin- ary generation, sinned in him, and fell with him, in his first transgres- sion. It was his first transgression and how the world has suffered for it since! 'When we look into our own lives we see characteristics which are not desirable and which we could be free from. Thely always began with a first time which we allowed to grow on us. Among these we may include, lack of reverence Of Jesus Chriet who gave His life for us, selfish- ness, temper, jealousy, unfaithfulness and countless other traits of charac- ter. Who in this world is more to be pitied than those who allow these different things to creep into their lives and who of us has not allowed at least ,some of them to become part of our being. One of the most pitiful habits in the lives of our young people and older ones too today is that cursed habit of drinking. Oh, that thosein authority of our laws would only con- sider the terrible havoc it is causing in homes! DO they not care what the future of the youth of our land is .to be? One only needs to glance through our papers to realize that there is no future for our young people outside of Christ. He cares for them but apparently man does not. When all is considered we, the electors ere responsible for our young people taking their first drink. Why will we send men and women to Parliament who think more of their position than they do of the fine young men and women weom they, by their vote on the liquor question, are sending to, destruction. It is difficult at times to know how to vote, but we can pray earnestly that God will guide our members of Parliament, both in the Provincial and Federal house., that they will stand up for what is right along this line, even if they have to stand alone gamst their party. What a terrible tate our country has got into!

PHONE 274W kri I • " e IA 10, a 74 CENTS A POUND FOR BUTTERFAT SOUGHT IN BRIEF Higher prices for Canada's moo daisy farmers were sought, in a brief presented to is seven -man Cabinet com-mittee by delegation of seven representatives of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture end the Dairy Faemers. of Canada ie Ottawa last' week. ,Specifically, the brief asked ineteas- ed prices for milk going into product- ion of butter, cheese and -Concentrated products and claimed some -financial incentive was needed if the progress- ive decline in the output of dairy products was to be halted. The delegation, headed by II. IL Hannam, president of the Canadian Fedeeation .0e Agriculture, and R. H. M. Bailey of Edmonton, president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada, said later the Cabinet committee, under chairmanship of Finance Minister Ilsley, gave them a "sympathetic" hearing and promised careful consid eration. The delegation was reported to have asked that farmers be given a price of 74 cents a pound for their butter- fat, .against the 52 cents, including a 10 -cent subsidy, which they now re- ceive, and a ,pnee of 32 cents a pound for cheese, compared with the 22 cents they now are paid. Agriculture Minister Gardiner ad- dressed the delegation and was re- ported to have pointed to the short- age of livestock feed, plentiful when dairy production was near its peak in 1944, as the underlying reason for decline in production. He said the export of deity cattle to the United States was not a serious factor in the production decline, even though C'anada was exporting more cows than ever before, will not have to go .staggering down the street, a disgrace to yourself and your loved ones and thus rapidly go- ing on your way to destruction. You may say I 'will just take one drink and then will leave it alone. How do you know you can leave it alone? Nine chances out of ten your first drink will lead to your absolute downfall. Do not trifle with it, It is worse than fire and in all probabil- ity before bong you would be thank- ful for any kind of death in order to get away from it. Only God cart save you from the awful eurse of la He will do so if you ask Him. There is the first time in our Chtistia-a experience. Many cannot recall the day we gave our hearts to God, but we can think of times without nuMber When We liave been drawn doter to Him.

If we continue to do that the time will ecnne for us when Christ will not plead to His Heavenly Father for OUT release from just puniehinent. In olden days when a tree fell, the Indian, the original inhabitants of Caeacla, would just draw their horse away from the end of it. The next man did the same, and thus the trail was made much longer. We do not need to take a round about way to accept Christ. To come to Him we must realize that worldly pleasures and habits, are to be left behind and there must be a first time in our life as regards Christian- ity. As far as we are concerned there was a first time in the life of Christ. That was when He left His Father's Home and came to the earth knowing that He was going to suffer and die in order that we might have eternal life. Did He shrink from it? No, He accepted the re- sponsibility of our Salvation. Ile died a cruel death for us. Will we not right now take the first step which will bring es to Him. "Out of the strains, of the Doing, Into the peace of the Done; Out of the thirst of pursuing, Into the rapture of Won; 0.ut of gray mist into Brightness, Out of pale dusk into Dawn— Out of all wrong into Rightness, We from these fields will be gone, Way,' say the saints, 'not gone but come Into 'Eternity's Harvest Home." epnGe WITH —I HYDRO 1500 HOUR LAMPS OBTAIN THEM FROM YOUR jiYDRO.CiFFICE HL4610 itTlekentiESWIt.''
