the Canadfian Statesmnan, Bownianvllle?&yMai1, 1966 I"Con We Be. Sure" I y Rev. A. Ku dra I Pentecostal Church «VAN WE BE SURE???" This-captian is taken from a beautiful Incident in the ex- ernce of Qucen Victoria. It ha rmquestion ail are asking as ta the things' relative ta future life. It is a question that Makes us think deeply about the future lufe. Is there anyway af making sure that we 'shall epend eternity in heaýen, welcomcd into the fedUowship af God and not in "fUe. eecand death" aof eternai separation fromn Him? Many hsuppose that this question, the greatest that can confront one, must neccssarily wait for its aflswer until the present life 38 aver. But is it sa? Must the question af eternal blcss- edness or miscry, heaven or heU, remain a torturing un- certainty until it is tao late ta mnake any change? A beautiful incident in the experience of QUEEN VIC- TORIA is worth remembering. [t bas been published and is ianquestionably authentie. The Qucen had attended a service ini St. Paul's Cathedral and had listened ta, a sermon that intercsted her greatly; then she asked her chaplain, "If one could be absolutely sure in this lufe af eternal safety". Ilis answer was that he "knew of no way that one could be, absolutely sure". This was published in the Court news and feul under the eye af a humble minister af the Gospel, John Townscnd, an intimate friend af George Muchler, whose lufe ai faith led ta the founding ai bis well known orphanages. This John Townsend was the father of famnous "Sister Abigaîl", an- other Christian af extrard- Inary faith and service. After reading ai Qucen Victoria's question and the answer she received, J a h n Tawnsend thought and prayed much about the matter, and then sent the follnwing note to the Queen: "To her graciaus Maijesty, our beloved Queen Victoria, from anc ai ber most humble gubjects.

The Scripture pas- sages John Tawnsend com- mended ta the reading ai the Graciaus Qucen wene these twa: "For God so lovcd the wanld that He gave His only begot- ten Son, thet whosoever be- lieveth in Him should nat per- ish but have cverlesting lufe."1 John 3:16. "If thou shalt coniess with thy mouth the Lard Jesus, and shaît believe in thine heent that Gad bath raised Him from the dead, thou shaît be seved. For with the hert man believeth unto righteousness; and witb the mouth confes- sion is made unto selvation."1 Romans 10:9-10. "Cen we be sure?" you ask. The answen MUST be in the affirmative. The Bible gives us a positive assurance that we cen be saved now and be prepered ta meet aur wond- enful God even -Jesus Christ the Saviour ai the Whole Worid! God would not create this wanld and the inhabitants thereai and let them flounder araund fan somcthing tangible. He would flot leave this world without a standard and rule for this lufe and how ta pre- pare fon the ncxt. It is basic and logic ta conclude that He who made ail that ls therein wauld give us a critenion by wbich ta go by. This He has given us. What la it? In aur languste we eall it uTne Hofy Bible".
