Rev. Matteson Heard At Club Mee'ing Members of the Walkerton W '-nan’s U >mmunity Chib were privileged to hear an excellent N< w Yea S Message brought to them at their meeting on Frilay. ’ o”irv 3 1969 by the Rev. Richard Matteson of the United Xi; . narx Church of Koontz Lake. The me sage "*.TI Things N- w wa one he had delivered t<> his congrvgati >n on Dei ember 29 ’9»’s To begin his talk Rev. Mattes n quoted the Bible. ' And He that sit upon the Throne slid. B< hold. I make ell things new.” Before, however, getting into the bu 11 -s •: th* N* w Y* ar Lb s> ige. h* told the story of the Thre* Fr y:- A t< acher was t* Hing a g up of chi ♦ n that there wt ■ > th:* * frog s;U.ng ■r. a 1 ■ and that ne frog d ih 1 I un p Th* t< her asked one lit’a I \ listening to till her how na - \ frogs were left - he ■ i •• x ••;nd "tw bit th*' teacher sad "oh no. than were three, you see the frog h I . nl. g< .. i* dto jump but ac tually did n " T it said Rev. M itt< - sen. was ju-t like some jxn.p'e who make New Year’s Resolutions - they decide that they are going to do thus and so but that is exactly as far as it goes. Rev Matterson went on to six the past year, depending up in x ur perspective, had been either a greet or tragic one. He menti ned the new morality code, college students riots, crime in the streets, accidents, great t> agedies and ideological proI nets and said that these are the things which make the news. He further s'ated th 4 the great majority of men who go about their business remaining faithful to home an 1- iety - these make ro news - yet they are there. We are all aware, he said, of these stories th it made news but in spite vs all God is working mightily. He is working on campuses, on the streets, in the homes, in Czechoslovakia, yes cv« x where - God is active in human history. \s we approach the New Year Rev Matteson asked that three points be considered. 1» The New REMOVE WARTS!

Frontier which Is before us. 2) The Old Failures which are behind ui. and 31 The Unchanging God who is available to all v»f u*. As he treated the ir-t paint ' he told how differ* u ।. . if Chnst continued to d< 1 y his I return to earth fm a ‘ years. He noted that > ~iu..n would find itself in an a , uev- • able different and adv; n culture. As reasons he :. .cd the tremendous change^, pointing • out that we arc in the midst of I a "Knowledge explosion" - the seance and m< Heal feats which I ar* almost beyond the realm of ’ the imagination - the heart t; implants. man's flight to the mo*>n. the unlocking of the se- ' ent'- of the genetic code - th* ^e are but a .cw of the most recent accomplishments. And possibly ' before too long man will find himself in a "push-butt n' so- ' ciety. Se, ndly we think on old failures and are confronted with a relativism. We pionn-e twelve n inti, .co but our resolutions di 1 n t become realities. We ha ’ a m.’J riy <f religion produced 1 a slight innocuiatun of Christi nity. It is the opinion <' the spea kti that the only kind of Christian^ who can meet the opportunities and challenges of the future a e those who are totally committed to Christ. As the contemporary American pagan beet mes more sophisticated, he bec< mes more difficult to reach and it f Zlows without buying he becomes more needy than ever. Fin illy, an unchanging God gives assurance to the true Christian. It is this Christian who can face the New Year with confidence for he knows that there is a Soverign G<d who is the L rd of History. He knows that Grid has a plan for every persan who will have His plan and he has the promise of God’s eternal presence. Rev. Matteson closed his message with u quotation from His d tjesty the King in an Empire broadcast. "I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year. ’Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’ And he replied, ‘Go out into the darkness and put your han I Into the hand of God; That shall be tn you better than light and safer than a known way.’ ” The oiuo rooms were warm and cheerful despite near zero temperatures. The bright yellow table decorat an- pre anted a relief from the greens and re is which we all enj> ' ed during the Christmas Seasm. The tea table was beautifully app .inted - curving out tie theme of the New Yeai - Mr- Howard Ferguson p uu d. I•< lwi( us upri< it pie was served by the hostesses Mrs Helen Mitchell, MfR.

'Thought for the Day.” Many beautiful quotation* were repeated - that was vutstanding was “Sunrise Never FMilcd Us Yet." It was suggested that at the Social Service meeting on b'ebiuary <, t,,c time be spent in im hng v hmine and Easter .avors t t the patients of the ». 4 Jin n , Home. A r< .oembrwnce Christmas Greeting from Linda Betz who is the recipient of the Club’s Nurses s Scholarship was read. Mrs. Hillis and Mrs. Fergus* n reported on the favorable acceptance of the Christmas presentation if 41 nightgowns and nightshirts to the RN Nursing Home pitients. During their visit Mrs. Hathaway, manager, told the ladies that the previous gifts of clothing t । the Home had made it possible for 20 patients to attend church services on Sunday.
