Direction ....
                                    
Time....
                                     & Location

          We, at Son manufacturing Company, want to welcome you to   the time period of 1778.  Your present location is within the English colony of New York.  In this land, you'll find famous and infamous people, such as:  Walter and John Butler, William Johnson, Joseph Brandt, George Washington, Benedict Arnold, Ethan Allen and more.                                                                                                 

 

The ground on which you stand has been bought with the precious price of blood of both royal and common man.  Every day the warrior and soldier would awake to the fact that this day may  be his last.  As some search for the physical direction, time and location, there were others who sought God for spiritual direction, time and location.  You can still hear their prayers and cries to God when you visit hallowed areas as Ft. Niagara, Ft. Stanwix, Cherry Valley, Saratoga, Ticonderoga and others.

              This 1750 sundial compass is a replica of the compass left behind by Roger's  Rangers on Roger's Isle.  This compass was one of the tools used in finding direction, time and location. We want to point you to "the Direction" at this time and location towards the same God of our forefathers, both royal and common.  

The flags of the colonies and England display their trust in God.  For example, the "Union Jack" or British flag displays both St. George's and St. Andrew's cross.  The cross of England is red representing the blood of Christ; and the cross of Scotland is white, representing that we are made righteous by Christ's blood.  Together they tell a message of a United Kingdom under the cross. 

 

 

The American flag had, and has, thirteen stripes, one for each colony.  Here, again, we see both red and white representing that we are made pure by Christ's blood.  The stripes also represented that both royal and common man, as well as native and foreign, can live side by side in harmony through the stripes that Christ bore for all.  This was based on the Scriptures found in Isaiah 53:4-6, "Surely, He (Jesus) hath borne our grief, and carried our sorrows.  Yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." (KJV)

There are many that sacrificed time to express the way it was in these hours of conflict.  Their time is greatly appreciated as they teach the public the price of rebellion and freedom.  It is important that we also share the truth of our forefathers and their faith.  What made two nations great?  Their trust and belief in God.  What destroys nations small and great?  Their unbelief.  Receive today that same power, and pray to God for help.  Ask Jesus Christ to dwell in your life and to guide you through rough terrain.  This is the spiritual side of the compass, "Keep your compass set on the SON" and you will find your direction, time and location in life. 

 

Romans 10:9  "If you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.wpe17.gif (8522 bytes)
