Last year the
board discussed citing
owners of gravesites that

Cox said there is a
procedure to follow when
addressing a gravesite that
becomes unsightly or a
nuisance. But in Summerfield, the supervisor only
read the part where it was
his authority to address the
issue, she said.
There seems to be confusion over grave markers
in an old and new section.
This too will be settled
when Cox, Rhinehart and
others mark off gravesites
as maps indicate.
Recommendations the
advisory committee propose will be reviewed by
the township board for final
approval.
Bond attempted to direct
anger from residents toward the board as a whole.
Everything that happened
was the board’s responsibility but problems arose
with a couple of missteps,
he said.
He did apologize for
items that were taken that
cannot be returned.
Even though there may
have been a handful of unsightly gravesites, residents
demanded to know why

but by the time they got

“We had no meeting because everything had been

Bond said the whole

Cox said notices should

Farmer blames feds
for farm demise
senting the industry at
the Michigan State Fair. In
their years at the State Fair,
Sills said a lot of people
that sampled ostrich meat,
were surprised that the
meat tasted so much like
beef, but had so little fat
and cholesterol. “We had
an excellent response and a
very surprised public as to
the taste and health benefits
of ostrich,” he said.
Sills said, “During this
time the Federal government (United States
Department of Agriculture
– FSIS) would charge the
plant an inspection fee at
slaughter to receive the
USDA stamp promoting
consumer confidence. The
fee was hourly averaging $36 per hour. With
processing and additional
inspection fees, the farm
was paying 72 cents in fees
for every pound of ostrich
meat packaged.” He said
they absorbed the costs.
“The smoked ostrich
was always a contested
product by the United
States Department of Agriculture” Sills said. “Having spent the 72 cents per
pound in federal inspection
fees, the farm felt within its
legal rights to state that on
the label. The USDA felt
otherwise. Multiple efforts
by the USDA to stop our
production were met with
legal protest. The fact that
we continued, without
fines, arrests or having the
product pulled, proved this
out.”
Since their efforts to
stop the production weren’t
working, Sills said they
changed tactics. “We were
competitors against huge
industries for products
made from beef, pork,
chicken and turkey,” he
said, “We were competitors. They have more
money and much more
power – it’s big business
killing little business.”
“By 2001, the Federal
position changed to incorporate ostrich processing
as mandatory,” Sills said.
“This removed the inspection fees, but forced a label
change on the smoked ostrich product. The application was denied on the use
of nitrites as a preservative.” He added, “They told
me we couldn’t use nitrites
in a 100 percent ostrich
product.”
Sills said nitrites are
commonly used in other
types of jerky, but to get
approval for the label, they
were told they would have
to grind up “the product”
and add three percent beef,
pork, chicken or turkey
and reform the product into
flat meat sticks, producing
what Sills called a perfect
jerky product into a less
desirable form to allow
labeling.
“This (change) would
force the processing plant
to purchase more equipment to manufacture and
expand to handle the additional process steps,” Sills

became more difficult
because the processing was
for poultry and beef also
and because of the organic
feed used.
After that attempt failed,
Sills said he looked into
building a small processing facility on the farm.
The application was denied
by Isabella County until a
groundwater discharge general permit was obtained
from the Michigan Department of Environmental
Quality.
“That would have required a full survey of the
land, slopes, mandatory filings and several thousand
dollars a year in permit
fees, unsustainable for a
family farm,” Sills said. “I
have never heard of those
requirements for a facility
to process poultry.”
“It was just one thing

“This is about how the
government, while professing that they want to help,
can regulate you right out

DNR reports state
park camping and lodging filling up for holiday
weekend
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources
today reported an increase
over 2014 in all occupancy
projected at state parks for
the July 4 holiday weekend.
“There are some campsites remaining, but the
word is out. Michigan’s
state parks are a great
place to enjoy the holiday
weekend,” said Ron Olson,
DNR Parks and Recreation
Division chief.
State parks offer a
variety of lodging options
including campsites, rustic
cabins, yurts, teepees and
modern lodges. Weekend
occupancy for all types
of lodging was projected
at 92.7 percent for the
holiday weekend as of
June 30, compared to 88.6
percent at the same time in
2014.
Camp nights remain
available at several state
parks in all regions of the
state, while others have already filled up. Visit www.

In all, Michigan has 102
state parks.
At Van Riper State Park
in Marquette County, staff
said lodging typically fills
up on July 4 each year.
The park, with its popular
swimming beach on Lake
Michigamme, is a favorite of campers over most
holiday weekends.
“Visitation has been up
this year 4 percent,” said
Doug Barry, unit supervisor at Van Riper State Park.
“So, we’re expecting a
good year, which is surprising given the weather. The
start of this year has been
cool and wet.”
In addition to state
parks, the DNR offers
camping at state forest
campgrounds. These sites
are available on a firstcome, first-served basis.
In Michigan, you’re never more than a half-hour
away from a state park,
state forest campground or

Bits & Pieces
Pat Maurer, Review Correspondent
Like it or not, same sex
marriage is here to stay
No doubt last week was
what I call a “watershed
week” for America. I can’t
recall a time frame where
so many important issues
were decided.
Probably the biggest is
the Supreme Court’s ruling demanding that same
sex marriages be allowed
in all fifty states. That essentially means, no longer
can individual states rule
“yea or nay” on this topic.
It was certainly a joyous
occasion for the gay and
lesbian community, as
Gay Pride parades broke
out in many of our major
cities.
Now I’ve professed
my opposition to same
sex marriage in previous
columns, and although
I am opposed to such, I
don’t condemn others who
support the concept. “to
each his own” I would be
the first to say.
What I don’t like is all
the hoopla associated with
the ruling and the fact that
many church leaders are
concerned that they will
lose their non-profit status
if they refuse to marry a
same sex couple.
By hoopla I mean the
“in your face” attitude of
a few same sex marriage
supporters. I have seen
social media and even
television commentators
gloating about the Supreme Court win. Conservatives would be more
accepting if proponents
were less antagonistic.
Conservative preachers
(at least in the South) are
concerned about marrying
same sex couples. If they
refuse they are afraid their
church will lose non-profit
status from the federal
government. If they
comply they will be compromising their religious
principles. Heck even one
probate court judge in
Georgia has stated he will
no longer conduct marriage ceremonies because
he didn’t believe in same
sex marriages.
Again, I say “to each
his own.” If you want to
marry someone of the
same sex by all means,
go for it. But if you’re
a preacher and conducting a same sex marriage
ceremony is against your
religious principals you
shouldn’t be forced by
government to do so.
A second ruling by the
Supreme Court to uphold Obamacare was no
surprise. However, in my
opinion, it is very flawed
policy that has done very
little to help one of America’s major problems- its
health care system.
My family, one of millions, has been damaged
by Obamacare. I make
too much money to get
any kind of subsidy in
the Health Marketplace.
So my choice is to spend
$1200 to $1500 a month
on a policy that has higher
deductibles than my insurance before Obamacare, or
go out of the marketplace
and buy crappy insurance
and be penalized at the
end of the year, because I
didn’t buy from the Obamacare choices.
I chose the latter.
Before Obamacare my
family had great health,
vision and dental care for
less than $500 a month.
Now I have crappy health

The holiday is here
care, no vision, no dental,
no prescription, and face a
rather stiff penalty when I
file my taxes in 2016.
My story is not much
different from millions
of middle-aged American
families that aren’t getting
subsidized. Granted its
great insurance if the government is paying for most
of it, but for families like
mine, good health care is
out of the question.
Finally I need to comment on the Confederate flag. I have mixed
feelings. My libertarian
viewpoint would be “to
each his own.” In other
words “who gives a crap.”
If a person wants to fly
the Confederate flag, let
him. If the South Carolina
legislature wants to fly it,
because it is a part of their
heritage, and it symbolizes
bravery, and it is a tribute
to those who fought in the
Civil War, then so be it.
But the on the flipside, I
think about those churchgoers that were murdered
in Charleston. I think
about the eight or so Black
churches that have been
burned to the ground since
then. And in my mind, I
gotta believe the Confederate flag is more a symbol
of divisiveness than
bravery. Maybe it’s time
for the Confederate states
to move on. After it’s only
155 years later, since that
war was fought.
Do you think the government could do better?
To the editor:
A typical question
and conclusion that is
put before the American
public by political
opponents to enhance
their favorability rating
is, are you satisfied with
the direction the present
administration is taking
our country? Or, do you
think they could do a better
job? Of course, no one is
completely satisfied with
everything and everyone
believes there is always
room for improvement.

Cats have gone missing,
please help get them home
Dear Editor:
To: whoever is killing
or trapping cats in the area
of Sixth and Pine Streets in
Clare: Two of my beautiful
long-haired black cats have
disappeared within the
month. My heart is broken.
I have loved and nurtured
there boys for about ten
years. We buy them food
and get them medical attention when we can’t afford
it for ourselves. We work
long hard hours, and when
we get home, the love and
laughter we get from these
kitties makes life worthwhile.
We know that cats
ramble into other people’s
yards too much. It’s really
hard to keep them home.
Some are better than
others, and once cats have
been outdoors, there is
no way to keep them in.
Unlike dogs, they actually
have a legal right to roam,
and you’ll find you have no
legal right to kill them.
We have other cats,
so don’t drop any more
off. That won’t mend our
hearts. All of our cats
were strays, rescued from
starvation and horrible
weather. Cats reproduce
quickly, and as a result,
suffer greatly. We love all
of our cats so much, and
feel privileged to share our
lives with them.
When our cats go

missing, we are literally
sick, imagining them
terrified, in pain, or lost
from their home. It’s just
the way you would feel if
one of your children went
missing. We don’t have
human children, these cats
are our family. We would
never wish harm on your
children, or the agony of
losing them, as we are
going through.
So, if you are the one
who trapped our guys,
and have dropped them
somewhere in the country,
please phone us and let
us know where you took
them. They need their
home and to be with us.
These two are especially
dear to us. Please phone
us at the flower shop. 989386-4334 , or 386-4514.
We’re sorry they came into
your world, but we need
them back in ours.
Every living thing
deserves love and respect.

Does the Fourth of July
seem like the middle of
summer to you?
I know the calendar says
June 21 was the real beginning of the season, but by
the time the Fourth rolls
around, I always feel like
summer is in full swing
again.
Everybody is having
fun – going on vacations,
trips to the lake, fishing,
hiking, biking and walking
everywhere.
And this weekend there
will be plenty to do around
the county with Summerfest in Clare, Harrison’s annual Fourth of July celebration and the annual Figure
8 Derby and fireworks in
Farwell.
In fact there will be
loads of fireworks displays
this year with Harrison and
Clare’s on the third – that’s
tonight, and Farwell’s
tomorrow on the 4th. And
if you happen to be at the
lake on the Fourth of July,
I’m sure you will see some
pretty neat displays there
too.
After all it’s summer.
Gardens are growing
like mad. At least mine is.
My four little barrels out
back are loaded with good
things. We have already
sampled the lettuce, the
green onions are getting tall
and the beans are blooming.
Soon we will be able to
harvest some more of our
little crops and enjoy some
fresh picked goodies with
dinner. I even have some
tomatoes planted in one
and they are really getting
big already too.
Michigan strawberries are here again and to
celebrate, I actually made
a couple of double batches
of freezer jam. It’s been
quite a few years since
I tried that and the first
double batch I made, I sort
of messed up on the recipe
a bit, put in one and a half
times as much sugar as I
should have, but luckily
I had more berries so I
added to the concoction.
Then I managed to mess
up again and mixed the
berries and sugar instead
of the Shur-Gel and sugar.
It all came out all right
though and of course it
tastes like heaven on toast.
I did better on the
second time around and
now have enough strawberry jam to last all winter
I think. Of course, Lisa
confiscated a couple of
containers, and I will be
taking some north for the
family up there, Micki and
Don will want some and
I gave some to grandson
Jason and…
Maybe I should make
some more.
I’m pretty sure it’s midsummer now. Hay is being
cut all over the county and
farmers have been raking
and getting ready to bale
it up.
The temperatures are
in the 70s and 80s nearly
every day with mostly
sunny days. Perfect summer weather I’d say.
Although they don’t
go swimming in the river
much anymore, the granddaughters are over here at
least three and sometimes
four days a week. This year
they are into bike riding
and are allowed to even
ride into town and up and
down the rail trail on a
pretty regular basis.
Reunions are also being
planned and happening
now. In another week it
will be time for the annual All-School reunion at
Roscommon and we are
planning to go again this
year. There is even a small
get-together planned at a
classmate’s home on Higgins Lake in the afternoon
and then some of the “class
of 64” will be attending the
festivities at the school and
helping the “class of 65”
celebrate their 50th. We had
our 50th last year, and it
was a blast! I think the best
part is looking at albums,
old pictures of when we
were all kids and of course
perusing those antique
yearbooks one more time.
It’s always fun to go
back home again and it always amazes me to see the
kids I grew up with enjoying their “senior” years. I
honestly don’t know where
the time has gone.
And when we get together we always wonder why
we haven’t kept in touch.
Financial Focus
By Don Chiodo
Seniors: Helping prevent
investment fraud
Protecting your retirement nest egg and sustaining your retirement income
are challenging enough.
Taking precautions to help
guard your investments
from fraud is important.
People who are older
can be common targets for
fraud and financial crimes.
Scam artists and unscrupulous sales people target
seniors, who are often seen
as:
Generally trusting
Home alone during the
day
Accustomed to answering the door or the phone
Reluctant to report fraud
Confused by online ads
and offers
Scam artists are well
aware of these common
perceptions and often use
these tactics:
Phone calls
Emails
Personal sales pitches
Pop-up ads on the
Internet
Here are a few guidelines to follow that may
help protect you or a loved
one from investment fraud.
Proceed with Caution
Don’t jump into an
investment. Slick websites,
smooth-talking solicitors,
high pressure sales pitches,
and extravagant promises
can be misleading.
Beware of Misleading
Information
There is some wisdom
to the old adage, “If it
seems too good to be true,
it probably is.”
Offers of an investment
with an above-average rate
of return or income rate
and little-to-no risk are
almost always deceptive.
Services described as
a “limited-time offer” or
any person who pressures
you to make an immediate
investment decision should
also raise a red flag. Don’t
be afraid to ask questions or to seek a second
opinion.
Few Things in Life Are
Free
For example, seminar
invitations that come with
an offer of a free meal may
seem appealing. However,
some of these seminars
turn into high-pressure
events where you may
be given bad advice or
be pressured to open an
account that is not suitable
for your financial situation.
Skepticism Is Healthy
Contact your law enforcement agency immediately if you suspect an
individual or organization
is employing fraudulent
actions.
Investment fraud can
take many forms. There
are Ponzi schemes, for
example, where fraudsters
advertise high rates of return on client investments.
High payouts may continue until new investors
are no longer available.
Then the scheme and all
the money disappear.
What to Do
Even if you don’t suspect the deal or the person
is fraudulent, there are a
few steps to take before
investing your money.
End the Conversation
Practice saying “no”,
or telling the person you
always speak with someone else before making
decisions. Have an exit
strategy.
Turn the Tables
Ask questions. A
legitimate investment
professional – as well as
his or her firm – must be
properly licensed with a
regulator depending on the
type of business the individual (or firm) conducts.
Talk to Someone
Stepping away from the
situation and asking for
another opinion can help
you see the true value of
an offer.
Talk with a Financial
Advisor about the ways
you can protect yourself
or a loved one by monitoring your personal financial
information and being
selective in providing access to personal data.

Used to be a patient of Dr. Vanderbrook - Clare County has lost a fine doctor
today.
Getting to the point, I
know a bit about the situation partaking to Doctor
Vanderbrook. I was one of
his patients and occasionally saw him for physicals
and seasonal allergies,
and my family saw him as

Campbell of Mt. Pleasant;
Stanley R. Bishop, Jr.,
age 90 of Farwell formerly
of Detroit, passed away
Tuesday, June 30, 2015
at the Tendercare Nursing
Home in Clare. Stanley
was born the son of the
late Stanley R. and Veronica (Rzepecki) Bishop
on January 18, 1925 in
Richmond. He was united
in marriage to Mildred
Petrulis on September
22, 1945. Stanley began
working at a young age
on his family’s farm in
Richmond; he had worked
at several Tool and Die
shops, retiring from Triple
Tool in Troy in 1994. Following his retirement he
had moved to the White
Birch Estate’s in Clare
County where he enjoyed
playing Euchre and meeting with other members
over their weekly breakfast
get-togethers. He enjoyed
deer hunting, fishing and
bowling and had attended
Our Lady of Hope Parish St. Cecilia Site.
Stanley is survived by
his wife Mildred; children
Richard (Lesley) of Spring
Lake and Donna Krajewski
of Farwell; a grandson David Krajewski; his brother
Robert of Richmond;
Freda Mae LaVoye
After explaining it was not
possible for us to show up
on the hour, they gave us
24 hours to come in.
On June 11th we (I still
attended) came in and had
Doctor Vanderbrook count
our medications. He made
a comment that he could
no long trust his staff to
handle the job of counting
pills.
On June 12th, Doctor
Vanderbrook left MidMichigan Health Alliance.
On June 22nd my
mother received a phone
call that Doctor Vanderbrook had quit and that
any family member would
be cut from their prescriptions AND any appoints
we had prescribed to us by
Doctor Vanderbrook- until
the new doctor was in next
month. Cut appointments
included my mother›s
water therapy for pain. If you are still wondering why people became
upset at why Doctor
Vanderbrook left, now you
know. We were cut off of
everything by his office
staff until July. Anyone
on medication was left to
detox off of them and the
MidMichigan staff didn›t
care.
Understandably I called
their patient complaint
line at 1-989-837-9090. The lady who picked up
was horrified that his
office had not temporar-
ily set people up with
prescriptions or a temporary doctor. She said it
was unethical and that she
would investigate into it.
On June 23rd she called
back apologizing and
said a staff member was
responsible for the issue. She then began working
on setting us up with a
doctor and trying to settle
any other issues we had.
On June 26th (date
stamped as 06/24/2015 by
the US postal service and
two weeks after his departure), I received a letter
saying Doctor Vanderbrook had left due to
“unforeseen events” and
that they had set me up
with a new doctor. That’s
the first and only official
notice from MidMichigan
Health I received.
I have read about the
e-mails from MidMichigan Health and it angers
me that they have been
very dishonest with news
groups and patients. They
ignored our complaints
and when the time came,
they were caught by
surprise at how lazy his
office they staffed had
became. I firmly believe
they messed up. Now,
I’m not only upset that it
costed the people of Clare
County a fine doctor but
am now also mistrustful of
MidMichigan Health.

together for basic and obe-
dience training, which is
basically for the veteran.”
Another veteran Shaw
is working with is Gordon
Redman of Farwell, an
Army veteran of Viet Nam.
Shaw’s service dog is
a seven-year-old English
Mastiff, he has raised
since the dog, “Thor,” was
four weeks old. “I heard
about the program at the
Saginaw Veteran’s Administration and also saw it
in a “Wounded Warrior”
segment on TV,” he said. “I
made some phone calls. It
took some time, but I met a
veteran with a service dog
and eventually called Lori.
Now we are working on
training Thor as a service
dog.” Thor and Gordon
have already earned their
“Canine Good Citizen”
certification through the
American Kennel Club.
Redman said he uses
oxygen at night. “He
(Thor) wakes me up if my
oxygen stops working or if
I stop breathing,” he said.
“He lets me know when
people are around and
helps me with keeping my
balance.”
Redman and his wife
Deb have two children and
one grandchild. They live
of Stephenson Lake Road.
Shaw explained the
Dogs in Honor process.
She said once that initial obedience training is
complete and the veteran
and his dog pass the AKC
CGC test, they begin “the
actual service dog training
together.”
Lori said, “The service
and emotional training
takes from three months to
a year, depending on the
ability of the partnership
between the vet and his
new ‘buddy’.”
Once the service training is complete, the veteran
and dog enter the next step,
a “probationary period”
which includes periodic
visits and evaluations
of both over a year-long
period. At the end of that
time the dog “officially”
belongs to the veteran and
he is given the ownership
of the service dog. “After
that we are still available
to the vet for help with any
problems,” Shaw said.
All of the training is
done with the blessing of
medical staff, Shaw said.
“When we sign up the vets
and work with them, it is
with their VA doctor’s or
therapist’s knowledge of
the program and its progress. After the program is
complete, they – the doctor
of therapist – signs, or
certifies that the vet’s dog
is now a service dog.”
Shaw has worked with
dogs most of her life and
has been a dog trainer for
15 years, she said. “I got
involved because I love
animals,” she said.
She and her husband
Tim, who is also a trainer,
moved to Farwell 13 years
ago. He is still a firefighter
in Bay City, where they
used to live. They have two
grown children, one living
in Lake and the other in
the Detroit area, and three
grandchildren.
Shaw said she works
from three to five hours
with Dogs in Honor. “I still
also train dogs for Therapy
Dogs International and
have raised puppies for
Leader Dogs of Rochester
for seven years,” she said.
All of her time is “volunteered,” except for a
part-time job as an Administrative Assistant at the
Farwell United Methodist
Church, where she works
three hours a day for four
days a week.
Shaw said they are
working towards developing a website, which
should be up sometime this
month. They can be found
on Facebook by searching
for Dogs in Honor.
In his letter to the editor,
Fall urged other vets to
look into Dogs in Honor.
He said, “If you suffer
from PTSD and think, as
I did that a service dog is
out of your reach, please
consider giving a call to
Dogs in Honor.”
To contact Dogs in
Honor in this area call Lori
at (989) 387-9435, or in
northwestern Michigan call
(248) 821-5201.

Dance movie being filmed in Clare
John Wayne Bosley is
set to film his third feature film, The Heart of a
Dancer, this July in Clare,
Michigan. This film is an
inspirational movie about
a dancer who uses her
talents to inspire those
who are struggling with
health problems. The
film will star actors and
dancers from Midland,
Saginaw and Clare,
Michigan. The film
features over 30 minutes
worth of dance routines,
which also showcases
large routines by some of
the best Michigan dance
studios. A large portion
of the film will be shot at
the Newman School of
Dance in Clare. Filming
starts 4th of July weekend.
The Heart of a Dancer
is about a young, college
bound dancer, named
Claire. Claire’s world is
turned upside down when
her mother is diagnosed
with cancer. Leaving
college, Claire puts her
dream of becoming a
professional dancer aside
and takes on two jobs to
help with her mother›s
mounting bills. With the
help of her family, newfound friends, and the
support of an old flame,

Denton named baseball player of the year
By Ben Murphy
Sports Writer
To have success in
the game of high school
baseball one has to put in
the work. Incoming Clare
junior Gabe Denton put
in that work all year long.
In 120 at bats this season
Denton hit .468, had 11
doubles, five home runs
and 37 RBI. This was good
enough to earn division
three all-state honors and
is also the Clare County
Review’s baseball player
of the year.
“Really, the season
never stopped for me after
last year,” he said. “I was
named to the all regional
team last year and I really wanted to be in that
all-state spot. My dad and
I went to the batting cage
every single night and I
had multiple coaches work
with me all winter. I never
stopped, I never got out of
my groove.”
The Pioneers went 2210 this season and made it
all the way to the regional
championship game before
falling to Shepherd 2-0.
Clare’s Gabe Denton, player of the year.
“Gabe had a great
season for us,” Clare head
coach Skeet Colosky
said. “Great power hitting
catcher that has a great
eye at the plate. Always a
tough out. Means a lot to
the success we have had as
a team.”
Denton still has two
seasons left of high school
ball and he is hoping that
the best is yet to come.
“I’m always hopeful to
make it into the all-American running but right now I
am going to work on keeping my spot on all-state,”
he said. “That’s going to be
a lot harder because there’s
kids that are going to want
it to. Not only that but the
next two years we have a
lot of talent coming in so it
should be a lot of fun.”
As for how he’s had
the success he has despite
being an underclassmen,
Denton has really kept it
simple.
“Every time you go up
to bat you need to have an
approach,” he said. “My
approach is if it’s the first
time through seeing a guy
it has to be a perfect pitch
On your
mark, get
set, GO!
for me to swing at early in
the count. You always have
to have an approach and
know what you want to hit.
You have to look for those
pitches and try to get into
the pitcher’s head and figure out what he is thinking.
It helps being a catcher,
you should know what a
pitcher is thinking and that
helps a lot.”
Plus having a huge passion for the game doesn’t
hurt his progress either.
“I started playing when
I was about five years old
and started catching when
I was seven and I have
just loved it ever since,”
Denton said. “I just fell in
love with the game when
I was young and I haven’t
stopped since.
“You can be in every
single play as a catcher
and a pitcher and I like
that. I like to say it’s a
smart man’s game. You
can’t just go up there
swinging a bat. It doesn’t
matter if you’re super
muscular or fast. That
helps but you have to be
smart and the fundamentals are super important.”

To ensure the highest

most advanced specialty
care throughout the region,
MidMichigan Health

Reflections
King Solomon’s call
for moral and spiritual
integrity by citizens for
the benefit of their nation
may seem out of date, but
his principle of practicing
patriotism by doing right
needs to be stressed and
heeded: “Righteousness
exalts a nation, but sin is
a reproach to any people”
(Proverbs 14:34).
The history of both the
United States and Canada
prove the importance of
spiritual awakenings to
turn the tide of moral and
spiritual decay and usher in
good times.
Practicing Patriotism
In 1727, twenty four
year old Jonathan Edwards,
a recent graduate of Yale
was called to assist his
grandfather, the pastor of
the Congregational Church
of Northampton, Massachusetts. Two years after
his move to Northampton,
his grandfather died and
young Edwards became the
pastor of one of the largest, wealthiest, and most
cultured churches in New
England.
It isn’t likely this congregation expected their
young pastor to be the key
personality in what histo-
rians call America’s first
great awakening, but that
is exactly what happened.
Jonathan Edwards and
others prayed earnestly for
a great moral and spiritual
change in their community
and in 1735 their prayers
were answered.
Edwards wrote that
scarcely a person in the
town, old or young, was
left unchanged. This
awakening spread from
town to town and from
county to county. By 1740,
the moral tone of New
England was lifted and an
estimated 50,000 people
Wishing everyone a safe
and happy 4th of July!
- The Clare County Review Staff
By Roger Campbell Ministries
had been added to the
churches.
In his book, “The Narrative,” James A. Stewart
made a significant observation about this great spiritual awakening, writing that
it was not the outcome of a
highly organized effort, but
the answer to the prayers
of a faithful pastor and his
church.
The next and perhaps
the greatest spiritual awakening affecting the United
States and Canada took
place in 1858. There were
three important ingredients
in its development: The
Dutch Reformed Church
appointed Jeremiah Lanphier, a businessman, to do
missionary work in Lower
Manhattan; a physician,
Dr. Walter Palmer and his
wife, Phoebe, began holding evangelistic meetings
Classifieds
in Hamilton, Ontario, and
a ship loaded with gold
being brought to New York
from California went down
in a storm, causing the
closing of many banks and
a financial panic.
Jeremiah Lanphier often
became weary in his work
among discouraged people,
but found he could draw
strength to go on through
prayer. Thinking others
might be helped through
prayer during those difficult times he invited
others to join him and soon
thousands were meeting to
pray.
In his book, “The Fervent Prayer,” J. Edwin Orr
wrote: “It is impossible not
to connect the three events.
From tiny springs of prayer
in New York and preaching in Hamilton came a
flood soon to envelop the
world.”
During these tough
times, Solomon’s call
should apply to us all.
The way we live affects
our country so why not
choose right and reject
wrong?
It’s another way to practice patriotism.
More importantly, it’s
the right thing to do!
