WHERE D O WE GO FROM HERE?


AS we travel about most of us. I believe, though I speak only tor myself, are only too frequently faced with, the unanswerable


question : “ Where are we getting to?” Asked in the midd e of a walk in the country it becomes very catual and m^^ns little, but when applied to th i whole world i t becoAies overwhelming, | North, south, east or ijiest, and nosolution in sight

“ SIX GOOD REASONS” Preaching at: the evening


service, the Rev. ;H, IWUllams based his address on the passage from St. John Ch. 16, V. 7. “ I t Is expedient for you that I go away." Mr. Williams said that every week he spent some time with a group of young people. - Part of the time was spent; in games, another part was, devoted to something of i i educational value, and the remainder was spent In hymn singing followed by. a short talk. . One of his'meetlngs with the


'young people had been on Ascension Qay and he. had done his best ! to explain to them the meaning of the occasion. He thought he had succeeded reasonably well In a difficult task until one boy asked “ Why did Christ go away” ? .. That set him thinking, and he had come to the considered opinion that


'there were at least, six good reasons. .


I t was important to observe


tha t Christ said It was expedient th a t He should go away. He did not say it was necessary, but it was on our account th a t 'he went. He did not go away because of the .way the world had treated him, or because of a longing to . retutn to his father's home. He went because It was expedient for us, and because, as He said “ I go to prepare a place for


you.” r.. . ■ ■' ! ’!


said Mr. Williams, th a t people’s thoughts about the next world were quite'wrotig. The only definite thing we knew about It was that there would'be a place for us, and tha t Christ would prepare it. And that was the first reason why He went away.
