Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 9, 1983 Chords of heart chiming by PASTOR BARRY FELLINGER Valentine's Day! It is a traditional time for expressing love. The favourite symbol for this special day is the heart. In fact, among Christ- ians such phrases as, "Give your heart to Jesus'"' have become commonplace. But does God desire only our hearts? The Scriptures echo with a resounding no! The very first command- ment God gave in. the Old Testament read, "Love the Lord your God with all thine heart, AND with all thy soul, AND all they might' Police Con. care.

We like to thank Shirley Krystia for the beautiful cake, Rita McBride for the corsages, Ruth Mitchell for the unique 'decorating of the Moose everyone contributed to the money tree and attended the party. To all of you we:say 'God Bless You' and we hope you will visit us in Arizona or at Hydro Bay on our Love & Best Wishes Marj & Scotty Hamilton lovely who to Everyone, (Deut 6:5). Jesus regarded this first commandment as the greatest, reiterating it in the New Testament. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind and with all your strength." (Mark 12:30). The heart is thought of as "the seat of our emotions." When a per- son falls in love, the chords of the heart chime first. Lovers de- sire to be with each other as much as pos- sible. To them, each fleeting moment is pre- cious. They enjoy shar- ing each other's com- pany as they fellowship together. They know a selfless love which says, "T'll go where you want me to go, do what you want me to do." God de- sires that we love Him with that same type of selfless abandon; with our whole heart. Soul and heart have very similar meanings. One of the root mean- ings of "soul" in Hebrew is "breath." God wishes us to love Him with our whole breath. The Psalmist wrote, '"'Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." According to Acts 17:25, God gives life and breath to all creatures. How many times do we _ breathe each day, each night? The Scripture. com- mands, "Love God with all your breath". That is to say love Him each moment of our lives. We must also love God with all our mind. The Bible does not downplay the ance of the human mind. The Word of God strongly emphasizes the concept of a controlled thought life. Our thoughts are to be pure and glorifying to God. That can be a difficult task in today's world. Our minds are easily prone to absorb un- healthy influences from the world daily. We must guard our thoughts. import- Schreiber.

God himself will help us to love Him with our whole mind, as we allow Him to do so. Finally, we are to love God with all our might. I like to think of this not only in terms of streng- th, but the strength of our will. Our total will should be sacrificed to God's will. God asks that we love Him with our whole will. Jesus' Forestry continued from page 1 species such as tag al- der and other unmer- chantable or less de- sirable types. In many areas where bedrock was overlaid with very shallow soils, mechani- cal harvesting made it impossible for the area to be regenerated by any means. In short, not only have we failed to manage our most pre- cious and vital resource, but we squandered and mined it rather than treating it as an agricul- tural crop. Provincial and Feder- al governments over several decades have re- covered billions of dol- lars from the exploita- tion of our forests - by way of taxes, stumpage dues and ground rent, with very little thought of reinvesting those dol- lars to assist in the renewal of this resour- ce, It is ironic, to say the least, to read in the most recent newsletter from The Ontario Forestry Association that the Northwestern Ontario forest industries face a minimum 27 per cent shortage in their Soft- wood supply if the Min- istry of Natural Re- sources strategic land use plans are imple- mented. This conclusion was based on a report by a forestry consultant who has recently retired- from the employ of that same ministry. This report states that the minimum projected supply for conifers cal- culated to the Year 2000 by the Ministry, falls short of meeting pre- sent day requirements of the Woods Industry by 17 per cent. The Ministry's Year 2000 projections for conifer fall short of Industry's projected requirements for 1990 by 28 per cent. example of "not my will, but thine" should be our daily prayer. God will not force us to love Him. He placed within us the capability of loving Him willingly; loving Him with all our will. Jesus loved His Father with all His heart, soul, mind and strength. Why? .His heart, soul, mind and strength were all total- ly surrendered to His Father. God commands us to love Him with our whole being. In order to do that we need to sur- The difference is pre- sently being compen- sated for by wood fibre being imported into Northwestern Ontario from outside the Plan- ning Region. The: . Réed: Tract (19,000 square miles) which was so_ avidly sought after by Reed Paper, and now Great Lakes Forest Products, has been declared maih- ly inaccessible and may be prohibitively costly to develop, so says this consultant, recently re- tired from the service of the one~ ministry of government which has presided over these sins of omission and com- mission. This same con- sultant recommends to the Ministry that the funding of the develop- ment of modified cutting systems should be joint- ly undertaken by Indus- try and the Ministry. To add to the confu- sion, Ken Greaves, President of the Ontario Forest Industries As- sociation, said in a recent speech that $64 billion will be lost to the Provincial economy as a result of Strategic Land Use Planning proposals for additional nature re- serves. Existing parks and nature reserves cover an area of 20,000 square miles, 9,300 square miles in Polar Bear Provincial Park, 3,000 in Algonquin, where modified cutting is permitted under a forestry authority, 1,750 square miles in Queti- co, 150 in Killarney and the balance in 129 other smaller parks through- out the province. If Mr. Greaves, and others in the industry, feel that the Reed Tract around Red Lake is un- economical, why does he include Polar Bear Pro- vincial Park away up in the Hudson Bay area in his statistical analy- rendet our whole being to Him. The hymn writer ex- pressed himself this way, "Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small. Love so amaz- ing, so divine, demands my life, my soul, my all." It is only when we fulfill this first commandment of giving God our all, that we are able to fulfill the second. The second Jesus said, was like unto the first, "Love thy neighbour as - sis? He claims that an additional 19,000 square miles of product- ive forest lands will be withdrawn for non- productive use if the existing plans were im- plemented. Three of the most contentious areas are the Ogoki- Whitewater Candidate Park in the Armstrong area, the Woodland Caribou pro- posal, bordering on Manitoba, and the Lady Evelyn Park in the Temagami area of Northeastern Ontario. It is estimated by park of- ficials that 35,000 cords per year will be lost if the Ogoki- Whitewater Plan is adopted and 7,000 cords if the Lady Evelyn receives 'appro- val. This is a far cry from the $64 billion that Mr. Greaves alleges will be lost to these non-pro- ductive areas. Existing park reserves represent about 4 per cent of the existing land and water base in this province and proposals under S.L.U.P. would add another 1 or 1% per cent to the total areas to this figure. The notion that "all's well in the woods" has been fostered by both government and indus- try for the last 50 years. What hasn't changed is the inadequacy of ef- forts to assure long-term wood supplies through regeneration and good harvesting and silvi- culture practices. This has been well document- ed by the: Reed Report for the federal govern- ment and the Armson Report for the Province of Ontario. Reed now holds the top forestry position with Environ- ment Canada and Arm- son is now Chief Forest- er for the Ontario Min- istry of Natural Re- sources. Under the Forest Management agree- ments now being signed thyself.'" On February 13th at 7 p.m. everyone is welcome to join us here at T.B.G.A. as we show the film "Hea- ven's Heroes". This film is a moving true story about a man who was a husband, father, friend, and police offi- cer. A man who had given his all to God. As we think of Valen- tine's Day this year, let us give God more than just -our hearts. The chords of the heart chime when we give Him our all. between the large licen- ce holders and M.N.R., the responsibility for re- newing cutover areas will rest with the com- panies and paid for by the taxpayer. The theory being that you have to integrate the timber har- vest with. efforts to re- generate the forest and this can be done best by those who do the har- vesting. As Reed and Armson say "'We have a strategy. We need the money and the man- power."' Government funding is often provided on a hit or miss basis. The pro- mise by Premier Davis in 1977 to plant two trees for every one cut has not been honoured. The much _ touted F.M.A.s could fizzle out unless there is an iron- clad commitment to to- tal regeneration and follow-up site treat- ment. , The future of many woods industry commu- nities is at stake. All citi- zens in Ontario, parti- cularly those in the North, must leave no stone unturned in de- manding that the forest industry and the govern- ments, both federal and provincial, embark upon a program which en-. sures good forest man- agement. It is northern society which must live with the results of past and _future resource extract- ion and government (non) enforcement of the rules by which this is done. It is this seg- ment of our population most directly affected, but if we continue on our present course, the ef- fects of mining rather than managing our for- ests as an agricultural crop will be felt by every citizen in Canada. We might have suffi- cient time to correct our wasteful and _ sinful ways, but I have my doubts. employees.
