Devotional MAGAZIHE SECTION by Rev. I{en :-Jelch The Christian is a traveller, looking beyond the events of this world. Today, Ash Wednesday begins the journey of forty days (not counting Sundays) which will bring us to the Empty Tomb on Easter . ~ith adults and child.:ren ·alike, there is the thought of giving up something for lent. Maybe it's candy, cigarettes, certain foods or perhaps a crash diet. Lent to many means giving up something. The prophet Joel calls us to nrend your hearts and not your garments" (2:33) Jesus said that a fast should be joyful so that it wouldn't be seen by men, but only by God our Fathero I believe that Lent provides us with a wonderful opportunity not to give up some- thing, but to TA.XE UP something extra. Lent does not call us to abandon for a duration, but it calls us to appropriate, that is, to make one's own; for a period of time. What better way can we discover afresh the God of which we proclaim, than by DOING something extra for forty days - spending a few minutes each day in meditation and prayer; attend- ing the fellowship of Christian people at worship on Sunday; spending some time each week with one who is alone 7 or · forgotten, or feels a stranger in our midst? -- -A Jewish Rabbi once said, "Unless you. have an hour each day to call your own, you can not expect to be hurnano" How human am I: that is the question each must ask. Obituary give me a pure heart - that I. may see thee, a humble heart - that I may hear thee, a heart of love - that I may serve thee, a heart of faith~ t hat I may abide in thee. by Dag Hammarskjold GREEN - In the Joseph Brant Nernorial Hospital, Burlington, on Tuesday, February 11,1969, Helen Jamieson of 820 Maple /,.ve.
