Columbia to discuss the future
of libraries.

Panelists at the British
Columbia Library Association

PASTOR'S PEN

BY REV. B.B,

“Who says I must work for a
living, honour the vows of
marriage, tell the truth, respect
the rights and property of
others? I can do what I please
and who can make me do
otherwise?”’

Such are the words and
philosophy of many in our
society today. Lest you
misunderstand me thay are not
all young people who say these
things. They often reject
everything that belongs to what
is popularity called “the
establishment,” even the good.
When it is too late many are
going to awaken to the fact that
they have thrown out the baby
as well as the bath ‘water.
Change simply for the sake of
change is never a right motive
and will lead to worse errors
than the first.

Who says, a man “must work
or he should not eat?” God
does! Who says that marriage
is honorable in all, and the bed
undefiled but whoremongers
and adulterers God will judge?"
Gad!

Who says that ‘all liars shall
have their part inthe lake which
burneth with fire and
brimstone?’ Again it is God.
Who says that you shall ‘not
steal?”’ Gdd! Who puts all
human relationships on the par

of love for yourself when He
says, “Love thy neighbor as
theyself?” Yes, God does.
Being our Creator, Redeemer
and Lord, He has every right to
set up these laws.

But, someone says, I do not
believe in Gad. I do not believe
in the Bibleand I will not accept
those laws. You are right. You
don’t have to do so; but you are
no different from the thousands
of others who since the
beginning of time have taken
the same altitude.

Breaking God's laws,
however, brings its penalty.
Simply refusing to accept them
or believe in Him will not
release you from the
consequences. War, disease,
suffering, injustice, death and
all the ather evils about us are
the consequences of God's
broken laws. Don’t let anyone
fool you. You will not solve
these things by disregarding
His laws.

There is only one solution to
the dilemma we are in. Jesus
Christ has the only answer.
Look to Christ for forgiveness
and power to obey His laws.
Only then will you know the true
meaning of life and find peace.
Jesus said, ‘Iam come that you
might have life, and that you

Asst.

might have it more
abundantly,”

No-fault death

payment passed

An amendment to the no-fault
benefit portion of the
Compulsory Automobile
Insurance Policy has been
passed by Order-in-Council,
lifting the 180 day limitation for
no-fault death payment.

Attorney-General Peterson
said “this amendment requires
insurance companies to pay no-
fault death payments to the
victim's spouse or dependents,
regardless of how long after the
accident death occurs. The test
in the future will be whether the
accident is the direct cause of
death, whenever death occurs.”
He added “‘I braughi the matter
to the attention of the
Automobile Insurance Board of
British Columbia for study and
they have now recommended.
unanimously this amendment to
the Automobile Insurance
Regulations.”

Death Benefil payments are
based on the age and status at
the date of the accident of the
deceased, in a household where
a spouse or dependent survive.

For example, if the head of a

household, who is defined as the,

Mower

Motor

person with the greater income
in the year preceding the date

of death, regardless of sex, is |

killed, leaving a spouse and two
dependents between the ages of
ten and sixty-four years of age,
the following benefits would be

paid:
Cash: $5,000.00 plus $2,000.00 -
$7,000.; Weekly: $50.00 plus

$20.00 equals $70.00 times 104
weeks $7,280 for a total of
$14,280.

180 day limitation originally
came into effect with the No-
Fault Plan in January i, 1570.
All other Provinces in Canada
still have a 90-day limitation.

This new amendment will
make British Columbia the first

Province to have no limitation - |

for death benefit payments.
While it is not possible to
make such a_ regulation
retroactive,
Peterson has recommended
that insurance companies settle
outstanding claims under the

_new terms of the policy in any

fatal accident that occurred
between the Ist day of January
1970 and this date., |” a
