ENN ISKILLEN An interesting news item and photograph came to our attention in another popular newspaper from Peterbor- ough. Here it is 'in brief: 'Peterborugh Pipers", a ladies babershop chorus was the proud winner of the Tait Trophy, an award for most improvement over last year's competitions. The Internation- al Barbershop Convention Inc. was held in Montreal, a singing event for over 1200 women all over Canada and U.S.A. One of the four members, also the president of the award winning "Peter- borough Pipers" is Mrs. Gail Lauzon (nee Gail Pethick) granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Pethick. Sunda ywas a two-fold special day in our church as we joined to celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper and Epiphany. Our Minister led in the Commun- ion service assisted in the distribution of the Bread and Wine by Elders viz:-Keith McGill, Allan J. Werry, Wil- dinner guests. The R. Gibsons visited with his mother, Mrs. G. D. Bentley and his brother and family, Mr. Grant Bentley, Ajax, on Friday. frid Bowman and Wilbur Blackburn. The elements and communion table were pre- pared by Mrs. John Slemon, Messrs. Ross Ashton and Keith McGjill. -- - Epiphany, January 6th, was clearly explained by Rev. L. Bigby with its significance of the manifestation to the Wise- men of God's choice of Gentiles as well as Jews. The sermon elucidated that Sim- eon's prophecy was fulfilled as the Wisemen sought Jesus with their special gifts, a complete contrast to Herod's fear of rivalry from another king. Our minister's earnest counsel was for us to present our gifts too,-this is the future hope of the world. The Sr. Choir's delightful anthem was a crowning touch"Hear Us, Holy Jesus". Miss Betty Wright was in charge of the Jr. congregation in the S.S. room. The S.S. session opened with New Year's wishes from Supt. Mrs. Ella Bowman and Brian McGill, ianist. Our Supt. gave a wel illustrated sermonette using a brand new 1974 calendar. Flowers at the altar, were in memory, by the family of the late Mr. Arthur Read. Our sincerest sympathy is extended to Mrs. Read and ber family in the death of a ALL THINGS NEW At the turn of every year, since we are creatures of time, we tend to be busy with the past and with the future. On New Year's Eve our thoughts are preoccupied with the past, and on New Year's Day we tend to be busy with the future. At midnight Monday evening 1973 became history. Chapter 1973 in our history book is closed. It's finished. Whatever our actions, whatever our accomplishments, or our failures may have been, it's all history. Everything we did in 1973 is indellibly written on the pages of chapter 1973. On Tuesday, January 1, we began with a new chapter again, chapter 1974. What we shal write in that new chapter by our actions as individuals, as families, as churches, as communities and as a world of nations, we do not know. Only God knows, and He is the One Who has our future in His hands, and He ultimately is the One Who makes history. That is the message of Revelation 21:5 "Behold, I am making all things new. " Behind history-making-mankind stands a history-making-God Whose recreating activities and redeeming accomplishments never appear in the newspapers, nor has He ever received the Nobel Peace Prize - even though He has sent the Prince of Peace to the world to make an everlasting peace of which the angels sang on that first Christmas morning. The history-making-accomplishments and achievements of great individuals and nations are recorded in our history books and in our newspapers. Great leaders have in the past built great kingdoms and world empires, but 'behind the scenes' God has been busy establishing His everlasting kingdom through the Lord Jesus Christ. Ever since the Fall He has been and still is busy in making all things new. The apostle John, who was exhiled to what we today would often call a God-forsaken-island, discovers that he is not so God-forsaken after all because he hears the comforting message from heaven: "Behold, I am making (present tense) all things new." That is encouraging news for John and for all of us! John stands, like all of us, between Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, and during that period the satanic forces of evil are quite often strong and overpowering, so much so that it appears at times as though God is no longer in control. But suddenly the heavens open for John and he hears that through al] the opposition the Church of Jesus Christ experiences, 'God is the Ruler yet', and is busy in making all things new. There will be a new heaven and a new earth and the preparations for that new earth are made on this earth through the cosmic redemptive work of the Lord Jesus Christ. All those who share in that redeeming work of Christ by a faith-commitment to Him, experience now already that God IS MAKING all things new and they shall ultimately inherit the eternal paradise of God on the new earth. In that faith-perspective we begin a new year, knowing that God is in control and that He is making history! Rev.
