Perhaps we’re afraid because we cannot see, Darkness, which often descends upon the soul, does not come at regular 24 hour inters vals, Nor does italwaysdescend slowly, Ali of a sudden it may be upon us. and it seems we are seldom prepared for it, Then, the questions come: Why did God let this happen to me? Is God the least bit concerned about me personally? Is there even a personal God? Such questions even plague Christians on off moments, Is there any answer? God unéerstands thatthis might easily happen, He has something very important to say to us in Tsaiah 50:10: -;even the night shall be light “Who is among youthatfears © the Lord, that obeys the voice of His servant, that walks in darkness, and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon His God! At this moment you may be in thick darkness. But that darkness is not too thick for God, The one who truly listens, knows He is there, He has made a way right through the darkness, He has taken all the scare out of the darkness. It happened.on the crass: “And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a dark ness over all the earth until the ninth hour, while the sun's light failed (Luke 29:44)” In those three eternal hours of darkness Hes the certalnty of promise: “He who follows me. shall have the light of life,’’ You can then know what the psalmist knew: “If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me; ean markedly reduce bullding construction costs, Strong support for this view has been voiced in the Legisla- ture this year Leslie Peterson, Minister of Education, In speaking of school con- struction, Mr, Petersonreported that: “As our investigation and study of the problem of rising costs proceed, wa are becoming more and more convinced that there is a long-term need to standardize components and eventually move in the direction of modular ¢o-ordination and pre~ built compononts.”* Just how favourably this trend could affect construction costs waa made abundantly clear by Mr, Peterson, “We. Imow,”” he said, great savings can be made, and, in some ‘school districts, are being made, Last fall I was privileged to open a new elementary school in Cranbrook where preebuilt components were used, The tender for this school, with con- ventional design and construc- tion, came in at $141,000, In its pre-built version, larger by 700 square feet, it cost $117,. G00. This represents a saving of nearly $5,000 per classroom, or $6 per square foat,’* “Also last fall, I saw a new school dormitory at Burns Lake built on the same principle, Tis cost was approximately$110,000, compared to an estimated $167,» 000 had conventional methods been used, The saving was $3,05 per square foot, Thare are other examples throughout the province and I hope they will multiply.” “that | 1a He: said that achool boards ‘| were being asked to plan prace. tical bufldings, making ‘use -of the best possible means to cut costs and eliminate any design features which suggested lavish» negs, te use of pre-built and repeated components e use of ‘standardized materials must take precedence over any concept of customizing a school. " For my own part, 1 would further point out that the forest industry, by expanding its acti- ity in this field of production would not only assist in over. coming the sehool construction problem but would also assist itself by raising the value of its products through more re- fined manufacture of wood matez~ Is. And, as British Columbia's major industry, in so doing ft would benefit the province as a whole, i PRIZE UNCLAIMED WELLINGTON, N.Z.
