Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 15, 199 Happy l6th Birthday A few weeks ago I stated that there wasn't much news to report on that week, no church services and there was no crime to report on as happening in Kendal., Weil, 1 received a caîl saying that 1 was in error, that there was crime in Ken- dal, 1 am sorry to report. The Chip Truck was broken into and was vandalized also, 1 un'derstand that trucks have been vandalized. 1 didn't mean to slight anyone or make it appear that 1 do not con- ýove Your Family. The unexpected cati be pleasan t Driving along higbway 7 nortb of Toronto midway through last week we were diverted from our planned route by a sign with the nane Kleinberg. The namne Kleinberg immediately brought to mid the McMichael Gallery and the exhibit of the Group of Seven paintings. Why not? We had not been there before and much has been written about the gallery and its exhibits and time had no meaning at this point. Wbat a deligbtful surprise not only, in the exhibits of paintings, In- dian art and artifacts, Inuit sculptures but also in the natural beauty. of the setting and the physical construction of the gallery itself. If this wasn't enougb in itself the hîstory of tbe growth of the gallery over the past twenty-five years is equally interestîng and astoundîng. It was 25 years ago that Robert and Signe McMicbael generously donated some 177 works of art tbey had accumulated over a ten year period along with their hand-bewn log home along with ten acres of land to the People of Ontario. Since that time witb other sup- porting interests [rom the general, public, corporations and the government the Rallery has now over 5000 art exhibits encompassed in a gallery with a total footage of 80,000 square feet. 0f the 5000 art works 75 percent have been donated to the gallery. It is apparent that a love affair bas existed from aIl quarters, from tbose wbo expressed their feelings on canvas to those who carved the ivory, stone and those who have carried on the generous tradition of Robert and Signe McMichael. Indeed Ontario is much richer to- day tbrough the advent of thé McMichael Gallery and it is assessble to everyone to enjoy. I would suppose that the Indian art and artifacts were of greater in- terest on this trip due to Manitoba's E. Harper, MLA's, stand against Meech Lake and also the Oka inci- dent wbicb is now much in the news. Delicate but with strength and courage it seemed to note the deter- mination of the native people at this stage in history for recognition 'as it was in the past. Surely it is something to treasure and whicb everyone can appreciate. We couldn't help but feel -, a distinct society - definitely - and one to be recognized if any are to be. 0f course we wîll return and it will have to be on a Sunday after- noon. The gallery rolîs out the piano for a jazz concert another feature wbich we could truly enjoy. Kendal News Well Our cburcb services bave resumfed tbeir normal schedule. On August 5tb tbere was an excellent attendance. The cburch looked beautiful, tbe weatber was fine, and Rev. Ransom was back from bis vacation. Following the cail to wor- sbip, tbe choir sag the antbem, "See Me Oh. Lord," this was sung to the tune of "Now is the Hour". Although there were no cbildren present, Allan Baker our student in- tern, told us tbe children's story. He brougbt a balf loaf of bread out of a bag, it was bard and stale, we would not eat it, but he told us, bow in other parts of the world, it would provide a meal for these peo- pIe. Our role as Christians is to share with these people. Allan also took the Sermon, in the past weeks, we bave looked at the Parables and their teacbîngs. This week we look at the Miracle of Jesus taking ac- tion. 0f bow Jesus went across the sea in a boat, he wanted to be alone, but tbe people followed him to the far shore by going around the water and waiting on the other side for Him. They asked Him to beal their sick, when be saw them, be bad compassion and bealed tbem. Tbey were tired and bungry and asked for food, they gatbered up 5 boaves and 2 fishes and be fed ail the people and bis disciples gathered up wbat was left and there were 12 full baskets left. There are many dif- ferent explanations of bow this was done, God made the food expand, wben the- people saw Jesus give out the food, others brought out food tbcy bad hidden and started to share it with others. Wbat does this mean to us now? We sbouldshare wbat we have, not everyone in tbe wold bas bread or food to eat. Allan spoke of the changes in our world these days. The cost of putting one plane in the Aromeld sider those crimes not Worth repor- ting but if no one takes the tirne to let me know, what they wvould like me to report in the column, how can 1 report it.- I hope in 'the future, you will call me and.let me in on any happenings good and bad, that take place in Kendal, caîl 983-5477.

Sunday, August l2th started out as another nice day, this is the Iast Sunday for Allan Baker taking part in cour church service. Next week the 19tb there wHI be a service at Shiloh Churc h, starting at 10:30 a.m. followed by a pot-luck lunch. This will be our last chance to say good- bye to Allan. We hope that he has enjoyed his time here with us, and that we may have been of help to him in bis desire, to become a Mînister. We have enjoyed baving him and bis approach to the ministry, his sermons and also the children's stories. 1 only wisb that more children had been attending during the summner. I am sure that the congregations of ail 3 churches wish him every success and know that whatever church he eventually goes to, will be fortunate. F ollowing the caîl to worship, Helen Wood and April Switzer, along with Fern Foster at the piano sang the antbem, "How long has it been since you talked with the Lord."' Rev. Ransom took the children's story and as there were no cbildren presenit he asked for a volunteer from the congregation to belp him illustrate his story, he ask- ed the volunteer to let herseif fal backwards and he would catch her, she didn't [aIl back. This was a test in how much trust we put ini another. No matter bow well we know each other, we do not fully trust the other, yet we trust God to always be there. Rev. Ransom based hîs sermon on the Miracle of iesus walking on the water. He spoke of how the Miracle was not of His walking on the water but of Jesus response to Peter when Peter started to doubt and was going to sink in the water and Peter asked for Jesus' help and Jesus responded to Peter's plea for belp. He spoke of different people who bad doubts. Martin Luther King must have had doubts at times, but he trusted in Jesus to help him to help bis people. The Dutch woman who hid Jews from the Germans, and belped themn escape only to be caught by the Ger- mans while she was doing this. She was imprisoned and she must have had doubts but ber faith and trust in God kept her alive. How in times of our own troubles we start out like Peter, full of courage and faith, but then we begin to have doubts and start to sink, in spite of our lack of faith at times, Jesus responds to US. It was good to see Kate Stewart out to church this morning, she has been a very important part of this church for many, many years.
