Pour COLBORNE CHRONICLE, Thursday, December 31st, 1964 New Year, 1965 Pastor John E. Gillman Hilton Pastoral Charge United Church The new year lies before us, much like a highway over which we have not travelled before. What will be the objective that will give us the greatest satisfaction when the road-makes that final turn 365 "days travel away? There can be nothing more wonderful for the traveller to know that he does not travel alone. But who will accompany us as we go? This has always been a question for many who feel they spend their lives alone and I feel that many people live their lives with this feeling from their earliest years to the las1 days of their lives. This is very sad, because we need never feel alone, no matter how long road of life may be. How this be? Because God has a plan for the life of each one, and that plan God revealed in the life of His Son. Many years ago, in the land of Palestine, God's Srfn was born, and His whole reason for living was that we need never feel alone. His name was Jesus and this is a name that has brought joy to many hearts. His| name means Saviour. Now we all know that if Jesus is our Sa- viour, He must also be our friend, and with a friend like Jesus we need never walk alone. So as the new year begins With new opportunities which will come your way, I hope that you, too, will know Jesus as your friend. Many years ago a King stool in the doorway of. a new life. He had not asked, to .be King,' .but he was', and as this..life began he needed help and strength. Where could he turn? To the only one who can really help, he turned to God. In the speech the King read to all his subjects across the world there were these lines, and I recommend them to you: "I said to the man that stood in the gate of the year, Give a light that I may tread safely into the unknown, And he replied: Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God, That shall be to you better than a light and safer than known way." These words were read King George VI, new year's day, 1939. Before God's Son left this earth He left a promise to those who would follow Him.

GEORGE, GRAFTON-- --Morning Prayer Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the Age." (Matt. 28:20). We each have a distance travel, from here to our destiny. Some may travel alone, others will walk with Him, and you may, too, if you wish. This walk with Jesus is the objective which I believe will jive you the fullest that you may have. How will you obtain this fellowship with Him? It is not hard. Had it been so, none would have been able to qualify for fellowship with Him. Jesus said, Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If any man hear my e and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (Rev. 3:20). You see, Jesus wishes to be iur companion. Already He asking you to have fellowship 1th Him. All you need do i take Him for your friend. This is the remedy for the trials y face, and the burdens of life that haunt you. Peter wrote to his friends this wonderful thought, "Casting all you car upon Him, for He careth for you (1 Pet. 5:7). So let the new year begin wit! the knowledge in your heart that this year will be a truly NEW YEAR, that this year you will walk all the way, day by day. with Jesus at your side. In so doing, jou will arrive at the end of the year with the knowledge that as you have walked with Him at your side, you have come each day one step closer to your God. And as the year goes by, you will know the peace of which Paul spoke, that is able to keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. And you will also know the rich blessing that c( from the Father to all those who love the Son. OUNDONALD (continued) Workman, Greenwood, called on combbe's and Ronnie Chapman's being present.
