HELPING OTHERS

(A poem by Whitney Montgom-
ery, quoted by Harris D. Harrison
of Nelson in a talk to the Ross-
i | Fand Rotary Club.)

I knelt to. pray when day was
lone.
And prayed “Oh Lord bless
everyone;
Lift from.each saddened Rear
the pain,
And let the sick be well|
. agi

And then I woke another diy,
carelessly went on my

sway.
‘The whole day Jong 1 did not try,
To wipe a tear from any eyc.

I did not try to share the load
Of any brother on my road;

I did not even go to see,
. The sick man just next door
to me.

Yet once again when‘ day was
done,
I prayed,
everyone”
But as I prayed, into my ear,
‘There came a voice that
whispered clear.

l“Pause, hypocrite, before you
pray;
Whom have you tried to bless
today? .

“O Lord bless

God's sweet blessings always go,

By hands that serve Him
beloy.”

And then Thid my face and cried,

“Forgive me, Lord, for I have
died;

Let me but see another day,
And IT. will live the way I

pray.”

“free” bridge would. be more than justified, But the question is,
‘will we get a free :bridge?..

Apparently, despite, the: tact that B. C. is the highest taxed
‘province in the-Dominion, there’s“just not the money available for
free bridges the size of the one needed here. Which is more import-
ant then, our need for a bridge or just demands for a “free” bridge?

Since we need a bridge and continued opposition to toll bridges
may delay that needed bridge for a long time, we should be willing
to accept a toll bridge if need be. A toll bridge, after all, is better
than no bridge at all.

THE AGELESS WORD OF GOD —

Adapted by Rev. F. E. Woodrow

Is not this a day when mani-
fold individua], family~ and
national problems m ulti ply
alarminkly? Yet, in seeking a
solution, most ignore the one
supreme source of lasting help.
The complexity of this age, which
so troubles our leaders, has de-
veloped in ratio to this growing
neglect of God's Word.

The Bible comes to us rich
with the blood of men who died
that we might have it — our
greatest inheritance from the past.
Read it and live with it! In joy,
it will sing for you. in sorrow
it will comfort you. In perplexi-
ty it will be a lamp in the dark-
ness.

If you visit the tower of London
you will see scratched on the
walls of the dungeons words of
the Bible, engraved by prisoners
‘who long -ago awaited trial or
death. The Bible is an old book;
but the up-to-date of earth soon
become out-of-date.

The Bible deals with questions:

which will always be the earli-

est and the last in our lives. It

speaks of ‘all the deepest things

in life, but always has an out-
‘s

lock beyond this life. Not only
does it teach us how to live be-
fore a just and Holy God, but
it leads us to Christ Jesus, who
alone can enable us to live in
that way, and who through His
death, offers for our acceptance,
cleansing that we may live with
God after death It leads to Christ
who can undertake for nation or
individual in every problem

Those who do not read it miss:
the greatest treasure’ on earth.
There are many exciting, inter-
esting, informing stories in litera-
ture, but there is only one bool
which leads away frm man up-
ward to God. Other books fade.
The novel which was a best seller
a year or so ‘ago is now forgotten,
but this book stays.

“The gyass withereth, the
flower fadeth, but the Word of
our God shall stand forever”. -

We need a return to that Book—
in the pulpit, iri the home, and in
the heart and life of the indivi-
dual, Let us everyone, READ it
and LIVE BY it, in. fellowship
with the Saviour whom it pre-
sents,

readily to mind is the bridal pro-
cession. Primarily it dates back-

right ahead and marry him and
between the two of us, we'll soon
change his mind.”
