Mrs. Jones. acting graup leader for Mrs. Shackleton, in- troduced Mrs. H. G. Shaw (nee Nellie Hughes) a native ai Bowmanville, wbo with ber husband bas taken up resid- ence here on bis retirement. Mrs. Shaw gave a very inter- esting and thought provokîng New Year's message based on the Good Samaritan. Christmas music and a delîghtful lunch were enjoyed by ail. Our neigbbors, the speaker said, are those who are in need of care and sympathy, regard- less ai creed, race or colour, for God bath made af one blood ail the nations ai the earth. A returned missianary from India tald bow a Hindoo had once said ta bim: "We feel very sorry for your race for you are so very white. Wben God created the white man he took him from the aven a littie too soon, the black man not quite soan enaugb, but the Hindoo are nice and brown, just rigbt." It is good for us ta know wbat other races tbink ai us. The Jews bad no dealing with Samaritans. The age aid race prejudices we bave even not yet overcome. Yet God caused this praud and baugbty Jew ta acknowledge that it was the hated Samaritan who had been a neighbor tinta bim q.hen those af bis own race passed by on the other side. Jesus says aur neîgbbors are ail those with wbam we came in contact. Ta have a good neighbor is life's ricbest bless- ing. To be a gaad neighbor is the path ta lasting jay. How many times during 1954 did we pass by on the other sîde wben we mîght easily bave liited a burden 'or gladdened a sad heart. For the Master bath said: "Who sa giveth a cup af coid water in my name bath done it unto me." Na service we render can be toa small. Wben Jesus was an earth He went about daing good and when He went away He leit us ta carry on for Him. Each new year is a cross- roads af time; the present, the past and the future. 1954 is past and taken witb it are aIl aur opportunities of playh*g the good Samaritan. They are iost forever, tbey are now ast history. 1955 will findGod stili waiting ta establish His Kingdom in the hearts of men. He will expect from us Loyalty, Devotion and a Cbrist-like spirit. The achievements ai the past are the foundations on which others wiil build in the future. Let us make sure aur founda- tians are strong and durable. Let it not be said ai us that we tao passed by an the other side.
