CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, July 14, 1977 Pulpit and 8y Pastor DONALD W. REED Wouldn't you know it would catch my eye? It wasa picture of a church building, and hanging across the closed front doors was the sign, “Gone Fishing.” Now I don’t know of any of our local churches that close up shop during the summer. Cer- tainly mine doesn’t. After all, Satan doesn't go out of business during the’ summer, so why should we? It does happen, however, that a number of preachers I know, including this one, slip away for a little holiday about this time of year. ‘That's exactly what I am about to do, Tcould drop this column for the weeks I am away but I don’t really want to do that. Perhaps providentially, I uncovered a little book a couple of days ago that has given me as much: pleasure through the years as any book in my library. It’s called Mused .. . Uncle Mose. The preface is important: “The Negro people have no better friend that the author of this little book, Far from reflecting upon them, he takes this opportunity to honor them What You Can’t See Can Result John Jones and Mary Brown are the fictitious names assigned to two people who died in a car accident. They were not hit by a drunk driver. They did not hit a tree or anything else. They were not exceeding the speed limit—in fact, they were not even moving. It happened at the other end of the country, but it might have happened here.” They ~ were sitting in ‘the car, ad- miring the view .. . and each other . . . with the engine running. Both succumbed to a leaky exhaust spewing deadly carbon monoxide fumes into their auto, + “What you can't see can ~hurtyyou” reminds the Canada Safety Council as part of its annual Car Check campaign. An exhaust system is something . few can see, and becomes a good example. The council makes some constructive suggestions about what to watch for in respect of exhausts: : A loud exhaust indicates a hole in the muffler. Ii it hisses, the tail pipe may be bent or clogged, while a rattle would indicate either a loose pipe or muffler, or leaking tail_pipe. in Tragedy If part of the system is bent or clogged the result can be an overheating engine, or one lacking power. Fumes under the vehicle indicate a leak, and vibration is likely due toa pipe touching the frame or body. Any of these should’ be fixed, quick. * “Note in: Bottle’ Takes 19 Years To Yakutat It took 19 years, but the note Iris Sexton put in a bottle and dropped into the water near Sitka, Alaska, has been found, The note and ketchup bottle were discovered three months ago by Kenny Keys, an Atlantic Richfield Co. manager at Yakutat, Alaska. Since then, Keys has been searching for the. author. “Twas really flabbergasted whenI read the story,” said Iris Sexton, now Iris Mathewson of Kirkland, She was 13 years old and on a fishing trip with her parents when she put the note in the bottle. Pew by presenting a character who demonstrates their uncanny. ability to see through sham and hypocrisy, and to express their conclusions in a summarized brevity which is also a part of their unique ability. “Uncle “Mose” is the sharp-eyed janitor down at the First Church of Littletown see g So, my readers, meet “Un- cle Mose” and enjoy him as much as I do,’ ' “Peoples think Sunday mawnin’ is de time to ketch. up on dey sleep, You jes’ wait: some mawnin’ de Lawd gonna ‘blow de hawn on dat bunch, an’ bruddah, you gonna see de covahs a-flyin’.” | “Ef you don’ do nuttin’ in de chu'ch, you can allus git by a’cusin de odder fo'ks ob tryin’ ’. to run it.” “Use to be fo'ks go to sleep wiile de pahson preach; now’ some ob ‘em ‘git started ‘fo he do.’ “Dey wuz havin’ a hot ©. ahgument down at ‘de chu'ch ‘bout wha’ dey wuz gonna put. de new: clllection -box.
