The Voice Of The Church A WEEKLY MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR LOCAL MINISTERS Some Things Not Found in Heaven Anniversary Service at St. Peter's, Lakeport Harvest Festival Service, marlc-ing the seventy-third anniversary was held at St. Peter's Anglican Churchy Lakeport, on Sunday at 3.00 p.m. The church was decorated with autumn flowers and vegetables. It was filled to capacity. The flowers above the altar were in memory of Ethel and William King, former parishioners of St. Peter'; Church. Rev. John Roney (Rector) con ducted the service assisted by Rev. E. A. Slemin of Brighton. Guest speaker was the Right Reverend F. H. Wilkinson, M.A., D.D., Bishop of Toronto. Mrs. Wilkinson was also present. David Palmer attended the Bishop. St. Paul's Choir (Brighton), choir director, Mr. Norman Copple. Trinity Church Choir. Colborne, Mrs. Ivan Flanders, organist, were in attendance. St. Peter's Church was opened November 26th, 1889, by the venerable T. W. Allen, M.A., Archdeacon of Peterborough. There were three services that day, the church being filled each time. Later the window above the altar was installed as a memorial to the first Rector, "John Davidson" (1888-1892). The pulpit was the gift of the Mathews' family in memory of their mother. The cross was the gift of "Sarah Crowe" in memory of her hus- The communion vessels were given to The Glory of God' ir loving memory of (Emily Coxall) February 12th, 1893. Rev. J. A. Shantz Periodically, the seemingly em->arassing situation confronts the 'steward of the mysteries of God" -- the minister -- in which self mportant people ask for a clear •lit definition of the substance, condition and location of heaven. Ministers are not asked nor expected by God or the saints to 'define and locate heaven. Actually, cannot prove there is a God. However, there are many things annot prove, yet, we believe and know that they are so. The book of Hebrews helps us on this account in that it says, "BUT without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6. What is your concept of heav-i? I cannot tell you very much about it other than I have accepted the account of Scripture and what I find therein is sufficient, that I would spend my whole life the obtaining of an inheritance it. Allow me to take a very ele-mtary, negative view of heaven. Many people like to argue as to what is found in heaven. I, this opportunity, would list in point form some of the things that will be found in heaven. There will be no Hero Worship. Rev. 19:20. Some people like to say, I am of Apollus, I am of Paul, I am of Billy Graham, some say I am Presbyterian, I am United Missionary, or some other reus distinction. No persons other than the Lord Jesus Christ and the Father will be worshipped in heaven. 2. There will be no mistakes ir misfits in heaven. Rev. 20:12. The books will be opened, the bookkeeper is Absolute, Perfect, Dne mistake will be found in that eternal record. Now is our opportunity to be fitted for heav-be saved, be rooted, be experienced in the realm of the spiritual, some men by their talk would be misfits in heaven if they got there. They would not know how to express themselves. 3. There will be no sea. Rev. 20:12. Present heavens and earth shall pass away with a fervent heat, Peter. The sea in scripture is typical of the restlessness of an ever unsatisfied humanity. There will be no more mingling together of the sheep and goats, the saved and the unsaved. The wheat will be in the garner, the tares in their place. 4. There will be no tears nor crying. Rev. 21:4. Earth's sorrows and eve earth stains shall be wiped away and remembered no more. Even the reasons for perplexities and tears shall be erased from our being. 5. There shall be no more death. Rev. 21:4. The cause of death was sin and since sin is foreign to heaven there can be no death in glory. One is contingent upon the other, death must be removed before there can be an absence of tears. There can be no sorrow in heaven for nothing shall pass away, nothing. There shall be no pain, no anguish of physical suffering for we shall be changed from this corruptible to the incorruptible. Like unto His glor- 6. There will be nothing that is old, except the Ancient of Days. Rev. 21:5. Time shall be no more, time is required before we can date anything. All things shall be made new. All things shall remain NEW. Nothing shall become bore-some, nothing shall weary us. 7. There will be no thirst. Rev. 21:6. The emptiness of an unsaved life, the hollowness of existence without the indwelling of the Triune God. It shall not be felt for God shall fill all in all. There shall be no thirsting and hungering after righteousness for we shall be righteous and exactly like Him. If there were such a thing as shortcomings and failure in -heaven the fountain of life is right there, by sight -- faith needed no longer. 8. There will be no orphans nor illegitimates in heaven. Rev. 21:7. One so unfortunate in this earthly physical realm may know that some day as a reward for a life lived in the fear and admonition of the Lord, they will be sons of Him. There souls shall be delighted to know that God is actually their Father and they His sons. The relationship of Father to son is intimate and joyous. 9. There will be no unregener-ate sinner there. Rev. 21:8. A liar not to be found in all of heaven. An unbeliever, not to be found there for believing is necessary to attainment. An abominable person, the staggering, enslaved drunkard, the practicer of filthy habits corrupting the body and the soul. A murderer, the life precious to God, to take life, is to loose life. A practicer, of fate and witchcraft, those who live by chance have no part with those who live by faith. A whoremonger, the passions and right desires of man let loose beyond the fines of the christian home attd marriage, bring the rejection of Almighty God. A worshipper of idols, those who worship the materialistic age we live in that bow down, to the shrine of General Motors in the driveway, that worship the God of nature by fishing on the Lord's Day, they have no place in the kingdom of God. These who have goals other than the honour and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ have a very different kind of abode awaiting them. 10. There is no temple in heaven. Rev. 21:22. No need to have an enclosure in which God may dwell for God shall be everywhere. No church services, we shall worship Him night and day. Singing the song of Redemption. Some people think a sermon of 15 minutes is an eternity. When the last trump sounds the worship will begin and last throughout all Eternity. We must needs live by the means of Grace in this life, the ordinances, the speaking of parables, the typifying of True, faith shall give way to vision, Ordinances give way to the presence of Christ. 11. There shall be no lights or fuels in heaven. Rev. 21:23. God himself shall be the Light thereof. No need for the Sun or the Moon. The Lamb is the light thereof. 12. There will be no closed doors nor any locked gates. Rev. 21:25. Life's biggest insurance business, "Did you lock the door?" All are trustworthy in heaven. Leave a cool million and a half in gold on the table of the mansion (if there be a table) and not one soul would even think of taking it.
