i B4 By Paster BRUCE GREENWOOD Pentecostal Tabernacic Death is man’s answer to life. What a tragic irony — man’s ability and power to in- fluence his world for good was never greater; yet our an- War has been a time-honored means of resolving differen- ces, but now we live in a nu- clear age where preservation of life is secured by greater and greater nuclear overkill. Never before has a society offered its youth more alter- natives in vocations and life- styles, yet our suicide rate among teenagers has in- creased 400 per cent between 1965 and 1980. Death seemed the answer to those young lives. CASTLEGAR NEWS, August 28, 1983 sary’’ that they die so that we in the Western world main- tain our standard of living, and protect it with ever- increasing armaments. We live in a world where modern medicine plays a schizophrenic role of preserv- ing life, in some cases of in- fants in the 24th week of ges- tation, while aborting the life of a 20-week ‘‘product of con- ception.”’ (In the U.S., abor- tions are legal up to the 28th week). Ecologically, we are killing our world, destroying the en- vironment to perpetuate our. .death-dealing lifestyles. Man has even tried to kill the Al- mighty, proclaiming, ‘‘God is pas pémnisters. Inthe dead — we have killed Him.’’ Death is man’s answer to life. Two thousand years ago the High Priest in Jerusalem sald, ‘‘Ye know nothing at all; nor consider that it is expedi- ent for us, that one man shall die for the people, and’ that the whole nation perish not.’’ Jesus Christ was this man. He was innocent, incorrupt- ible and He threatened the lifestyles of the religious and Political leaders. With ‘the same dark logic that we per- petuate today, He was cruci- fied out of expediency. Kootenay Jesus‘said, ‘‘Woe to you, teachers of the law and Phari- sees, you hypocrites! You tbuild tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous, And you say if we had lived in the days of our forefathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the Prophets. So you. testify against, yourselves that you are the descendants of those who ‘murdered the prophets. Fill-up, then, the measure of the sin‘of your forefathers!"’ Modern Man — fill up, 0! then; the measure of the sin of your forefathers! In a way the High Priest could never have dreamt of, Jesus’ death fulfilled the High Priest’s words, It was expedient that He die not only for Israel but for the whole world: With Jesus’ crucifixion the religi- ous leaders thought their problem solved, but three days later Jesus rose from the dead. It was necessary that Jesus die so that resurrection life would come. Resurrection from the dead is God’s answer to man’s life. Mankind is at war with God, with his neighbor, and with himself. One leader of: the French Revolution surveying - the death and carnage of the revolution, said, ‘‘The enemy is us.”” God, knowing our self- betrayal, sought through Je- (sus Christ to crucify the trai- ‘tor within that a new eresture might be resurrected from the dead. In our striving for a just society ‘we must Fecognize that, with our changing the individual, the whole of soci- ety will be no. better than its individual parts. ° No political,. technological or social revolution will ever change human nature. Re- birth, not ‘revolution, will bring this change. It was exp- edient therefore that one *man,, Jeses Christ, die for mankind. That in His resurr- ection from the dead He might bring to us Ww ae: The Bible says, fore, if anyone,is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!’’ God offers this hope to those who despair of mankind’s future.

Much work. had been done. in this wooded area during the'18 months preceding the camp by a: few workers. Trees had been cleared and a road bulldozed into the area. A ravine had been spanned with : culvert and bridged over. to. provide access to the spot with its sandy beach. Afternoons resounded ‘with the voices of the swim mers and paddlers. Dwight R. Wilson served as both lifeguard and first aid man. Some 120 campers regis- tered for the camp, and this number was swelled by many more who just came for the evening or weekend. Each camper brought his own tent camper or trailer. ' The only structure at present is a kitchen, where Terry Cormier presided -as cook with volunteer helpers. The menu was both varied and appetizing, and was enjoyed with hearty appeti- tes. Dining space was near the kitchen, on long tables with plank seats, in the open air picnic style. The tabernacle has comfor- table pews and a small plat- form, although it is only a structure of poles with a can- opy of plastic. The rainy weather of the ‘82 camp had caused many to pray with real fervency for good weather, and God an- swered with His accustomed grace. The Old Time Gospel. was presented powerfully in the evenings by Rev. Elwood McLean, missionary to North American Indians at French- man's Butte, Sask. During the morning ses- sions, enlightening studies of the “gifts of the Spirit” were given by Rev. Maurice Fuller. of the Eston F.G.B.L staff, as he brought new light through a study of the Greek transla- tions. A children's class was conducted during the adult study period by various vol- unteer workers. Musical treats were provi- ded by Dave and Gay Kurtz of Kamloops.

There was much more tal- ent in evidence by the camp- ers too numerous to mention, as each shared his gifts. A co-operative spirit existed’ amongst the many pastors of the area as well as the campers. Horseback riding adven- tures were provided for chil- dren and teens by local businessman Lloyd Parkyn, who brought them to his farm for this sport. Some special sessions with the youth were held by Rev. Ric Parkyn of Kamloops. A campfire weiner roast concluded the final evening on the shore of the serene lake.
