\'0L. 57; NO. 17 \VE[)Xt:SDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1937 W. H THURSTON & SON, Proprietori I' i- A n.VlELY WORU FOK VOL AND ME (By Rev. Fred Ashton) "What time 1 am afraid, I will Uuat in Thee." Ps. 56. 3. We are passing thro' circumstances at the present which m a measure fulfill the words of our Lord Jesus Christ when He spoke of a time when men woultl be afraid. "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after these things which are coming on the earth'' Luke, Chapter 21. V. 26. There is no question but that many have been fearful the past few weeks because of the epidemic in our midst. That there is need of every precaution be- ing taken to avoid contact with the disease, no one will gainsay, yet it will not be conducive to our happiness to get hysterical about the matter, nor will it be helpful to our protection to be fearful. These few lines are being written prayerfully with the hope that they will be helpful to all our readers to remember that God still lives, and loves. How often do we read the words in Holy Writ â€" "And the children of Isi-ael did evil again in the sight of the Lord'' and as a result suffered punishment by the Lord allowing their enemies to conquer them and take them into captivity, "But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a Deliverer â€" " Judges. Chapter .3. God is the same loving tender compas- sionate Father, for as the Psalmist says in Ps. 103. "Like as a Father pitieth his children, so the Lord pit- ieth them that fear Him. For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that wy are dust." Then, shall we in this time of trial and perplexity en- deavour to get as close to the Father heart of God as possible? He cares. This is a time to prove perhaps as never before the truth of the Psalm ist's words in Ps. 46. "'God is our Re- I fuge, and Strength, a very present help ill trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the mountains be car- ried into the midst of the sea â€" '' or ivhatever happens, "The Lord of Hosts IS with us, the God of Jacob is our Kefuge." Are we trusting in God as We should'.' Are we living as close to Him as we might? Has God got His rightful place in our hearts and lives? What is God to you and me? These are questions we should face and endeavuur to so answer them that God will be honored thereby, and God will honor us in return. We need to be much in prayer, for our God is .Almighty to help whatever the need, so we urge every one to take up the words of the Psalmist prayerfully â€" "What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee." He will not fail you. Per- mit me one more timely word, "If My lieople which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, •ind seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." 2 Chron. Chapter 7, 14. Shall we do this â€" now ? May God help us to measure up to this. Then it would be worthwhile to notice what God says in the 15th verse of that chapter concerning pi-ay- L>r made in His House. "Prayer changes things." Let us pray. Oh God be merciful untx) us and bless as according to our need. In His Name we ask. Amen. Funeral ot Mrs. D.
