TIMELESS A WEEKLY MESSAGE ,FROM THE CASTLEGAR MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION ‘ By MAJOR JOHN MOLL (R) 5 \ TOPICS ° The No Harm Line-Man's Way Vs God's Way We are commanded “According to Scrip- ture’? to shun every appearance of Evil. It seems that the Enemy .is doing more harm by getting the people switched off on the No Harm Line than on almost any other side track from Salvation. # Said a professing Christian to a friend, “It is no,harm to dance, look on, and listen to the music,” but a listening sinner said, ‘It is just as much harm as it is to dance.” Cer- tainly a Christian who goes to such places * has no good influence over sinners. Apostle Paul exhorted Timothy follow (2, Timothy 2:22) righteousness — to flee youthful lusts — to’ follow godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness and to keep this © commandment without spot, and unrebuke- able until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Since 1925 the Motor Vehicle has hada record of all holders of driver's licences. Mr. Lindsay told the BCAA Directors that. the point system is “unfair and inflexible.” In the B.C. system every driver ts given the right to be heard. In 1958 there were 283 traffic deaths in B.C., 9,582 injuries, 24,381 traffic accidents. The cost of property damage because of these aceldents was over eleyen million dollars ($11,784,433.50). 2,687 motorists failed the Driv- .er’s test in 1958; Over, 112,000 were examined. Mr, Lindsay believes the B.C. system is getting results. “In the first three months of 1959 compared to the same period last year there have been 714 fewer. accidents, 245 fewer injur- ies and 11 fewer deaths and, pro- perty damage is down by $379,- 0¢0.” After hearing Mr: Lindsay the BCAA Directors were well satisfied that the Driver Improve- ment Programme is more effec- tive ‘than the Point System. BCAA President J. Howard Boothe said, “We are convinced that the B.C. Driver’s Improve- ment Programme is second to Mr. Linsay, on the work you are doing.” * a MRS.
