Councillors dismayed by soaring costs By Rev Andrew McKemle Knot Church The Power of Christ Is a Gull Stream life Along with approximately Canadians I enjoyed a few days of relaxation at Myrtle Beach South Carolina recently And reading a brochure extolling the relative constancy of the temperature I was Interested to learn that the warming Gulf Stream that flows from England across the ocean to Florida comes within fifty miles of the South Carolina coast bringing its benefits to the eastern seaboard With considerable Justification the Christian clergyman can state as I do here that the power of Christ is a true gulf stream of life And the reality of redemption from sin and the power of evil Is as strange and subtle and inexplicable as Is the Gulf Stream No one understands how the latter originates how It flows through the ocean without losing its warmth or dispersing Its current or how It maintains Its definite direction but I am told that anyone who sails through it can feel the difference in the temperature and students of climatology assert that the British Isles would be almost icebound without it Is not that Just how the power of Christ works in the world It flows steadily and silently through colder and even hostile waters and all who touch It feel the dlf ference it makes and everything shall live whither the river Lady Byron told her husband that he never valued anything white he had It but Immediately appreciated Its worth when it was his no longer Most of us are like that We take health for granted until we have It no longer We appreciate the opportunity to work when we become unemployed or are forced to retire we have allowed our faith to become dull through lack of use and having neglected the means of grace have discovered that grace has somehow deserted us So If for no other reason than to stir our awareness of our need of God s sustaining help it is well to be brought up against adversities The believer In God like a warm current in the ocean is a ridiculous thing in this world for his conversation is in heaven as Paul reminds us and he insists on looking upward to God for all things that arc worth while Tills is because he has experienced and knows the warming values of the second touch of Jesus first touch enabled the blind man to see men as trees walking The second so opened his eyes that he saw everything plainly He is like the man who about a century before Marconi went about London with a queer box and said he got music out of the No one believed him of course but it was quite true and now we know it Hint is what the Gospel is to those who are In Christ They proclaim that It gets music out of the air and that as it enters their souls It brings a peace that passes understanding They mean by this that It Is a peace which has risen above the need for explanations The gulf stream of Christ mercy and grace flows wherever any Christian man speaks Gods truth or acts under the guidance of His Spirit It Is still moving in our churches and in our assemblies for worship but It Is also surging through hearts that turn to Him in prayer In very private places And this week in a space on the Christian calendar known as Holy Week when many of us shall pause to meditate on those mighty acts whereby God has given us life and Immortality the gulf stream of life will be flowing by our shores We pray that it may bring warmth and the blessing of renewed to a great number Soaring costs arc causing councillors a lot of headaches When clerk treasurer French opened the three tenders received to supply
