Evangelist Ralph Jut- ham will be in Terrace Bay for an Abundant Living Crusade from Thursday April 7 - Sun- day April 10. The week- night services begin at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday at 11:00 a.m. and will be held at Terrace Bay Gospel Assembly and are open to everyone. Special music will be provided at each ser- vice as well as special activities for children from four to eight years of age. The following interview was conducted with Rev. Jutham through correspond- ence. Interviewer: Isn't the concept of the travelling evangelist rather outda- ted in Christian church- es today? At least in North America? Rev. Jutham:Historical- ly there have always been evangelists. The Bible teaches that they are one of God's gifts to the Church. It is true that you will find more churches in North Amer- ica than in any other place on earth. How- ever less than 5 per cent Canadians subscribe to any church attendance. Inter: What is the role of an evangelist? Rev: The evangelist is someone who has an important message to bring. The word evang- elist means '"'someone who brings good news."' That is something we all want to hear today, isn't it? The evangelist is also to help the pastor in training other Chris- tians to be more effec- tive in their faith. Inter; With so many people using the elec- tronic media for evang- elism, why should peo- ple come out to hear an evangelist in person when they can listen to a variety in their own home, with the flip of a switch? Rev: I thank God for the many media ministries today. However we must realize that not every- body in churches 'are a result of TV evangelism. Statistically only a small percentage of converts can be attributed to media ministry. The rest is a result of both one on one, and crusade evan- gelism. When a person comes to a _ crusade meeting, he has the benefit of having some- 'one counsel and pray with him personally. I call it the ""human touch factor." There are also less distractions in a service than if a person were in his home. Inter: Many people ac- cuse the flashy TV evan- gelists of being phonies. What is your opinion of these TV personalities? Rev: It is not my place to judge another man's ministry. As I said, I am thankful to God for these ministries and people are being reached. I must be aware of my own motives for minist- ty. The Bible says that every Christian will stand before God and give an account for the things he has and has not done. Inter: What about those who always seem to be out for money? If God is really behind their work, wouldn't He support them without. continual appeals for more funds? Rev: To be honest, I too am offended by any organization that uses pressure tactics, wheth- er on the air, or through correspondence, to ob- tain funds. Perhaps more wisdom is need- ed in this area. And to answer the second part of the question: God has always. used human in- struments to do His work and support His work. The Bible also says that if a man is living by the ministry, he should receive due support. Finally, with- out being supported by commercials, how else is a Christian television program to be financed? Inter: Evangelists are usually noted for being extremely poor or ex- tremely rich. Where does your support come from? Rev: I receive support through the free will offerings of the people I am ministering to. Sometimes a church has a special fund for evan- gelists and I receive support that way. Inter: It was common in the New Testament Church for miracles to take place during evan- gelistic outreaches. In the present day people report that they have experienced healings of some sort, or other su- pernatural miracles in their lives. Are these claims valid? Do such things still happen to- day? Rev: I don't believe there is any reason to think these accounts are not valid. Most cases are investigated by compe- tent physicians to deter- ming their validity. As to the second question, it is interesting to note that in the days of the early church, miracles were happening in an age where people said "God doesn't do those things anymore." Today we have people saying the same thing. But I don't believe God chan- ges from century to cen- tury. The Bible says "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever."' Inter: Have you seen people receive healing and other supernatural manifestations in your own ministry? Rev: Yes, I have. Inter: What can God do for someone who seems hopelessly addicted to drugs or alcohol or someone who is depres- Remains of first provincial legislature unearthed A four-by-eight foot hole in a downtown To- ronto parking lot is yielding a treasure-trove of Ontario's history, in- cluding the remains of the first _ provincial legislative buildings. The hole is the work of ministry of citizenship and culture archaeolo- gist Roberta O'Brien, who has unearthed evi- dence from three dis- tinct time periods dating ' back to the early 1800's. "It's an honest-to- goodness, authentic archaeological find," says Allen Tyyska, supervisor of the minis- try's archaeology con- servation branch. The beauty of the site is the ease with which it can be dug and the prime condition of the artifacts and founda- tions it contains, he added. In the first layer be- low the gravel-based parking lot are remains of freight structures: built by the Canadian National Railway in the 1920's. Archival mater- ial shows it is the next layer of material that contains the remnants of the buildings occupied by our political fore- fathers. Those buildings, ac- cording to the docu- ments used by the ministry for research, housed the Parliament of Upper Canada from 1823-41; the United Parliament of Canada from 1849-51 and the first session of the Legislature of Ontario from 1867-92. Artifacts have been found in the third layer which date back to the early 1800s. "Tt's an absolutely fascinating site that has potential for community involvement and edu- cation in every stage of discovery," archaeolo- gist O'Brien said. The land is owned by the Canadian Broad- casting Corporation, and is leased to the parking lot's operators. The excavation pro- cess began after the ministry's archaeology branch was asked to study the nearby site of Toronto's new conven- tion centre. During that study the interest was generated by maps showing sketches of the old buildings. Calcula- tions were made and ex- ploration began.

Can God really offer any sort of present hope to someone who can find no hope in living? Rev: In describing His own ministry, Jesus said, "I am come to preach the Gospel to the poor, to heal the broken hearted, to deliver those 'in captivity, to heal the sick and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord." He still does the same today through His servants. It matters not what the condition may be: God is no respector of persons. Jesus came to give all of us an abundant and fulfilling life with meaning and purpose. He said, "'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." Inter: Yes, but what does the Gospel have to offer someone who real- ly doesn't have a lot of problems, is fairly self- sufficient, has a good job, nice home, nice family and is satisfied with life? Maybe he even beleives in God, but doesn't feel the need for religion? Rev: I have found that there comes a point in a person's life when he finds that not all the possessions or things he is doing will be satisfy- ing. He will begin to search for more. Jesus told even a learned reli- gious leader that he needed more. Jesus didn't come to bring religion. He came to offer us a relationship with the Father through Himself and out of that relationship would come the satisfying new and abundant life for which everyone ultimately seeks. Inter: Why are you com- ing to Terrace Bay- Schreiber? Rev: As I said before, an evangelist comes with a message. I am coming hope and meaning to life with a message of good no matter what situation news. News that there is 4 person may be in. E.W. (Ted) Paget . B.Sc., B.Ed., LL.B.
