Forrester, Owner-Editor Subscription $14.00 per annumn Change cornes grudgingly We are seeing that change, though possibly in the best interest of a nation, cornes only grudgingly and in no place is that more evident than in the past year and now within the past couple of days in Russia. Gorbachev has been admired in recent years in most of the world due to the part he lias played, and it is a big part, in lifting the veil of the cold war and setting a pattern for a new style of life flot only for his people but for most of the world. Yet the Russian people became impatient seting the stage whereby the military sees breakdown and the opportunity to grab onto power once more. The oulcome wili flot be known for months in the future but neyer can the direction of Gorbachev now be totally reversed. But the same is happening in Germany where it was once thouglit that melding of the two countries would be a simple matter of putting pen to paper. t just does flot happen that way. t was a newv climate of freedom in Russia and its various states but again impatience is a matter flot easily controlled. Likewise change from a communist system to any other systemn is flot easy and cannot be undertaken within a few years. We do owe Gorbachev a bow for bis leadership in what lie would have liked - a more peaceful world.

Sunday was a lovel,ý, day, we were pleased to have Cliff Dequetteville as our guest Minister. The Ser Yice opened with the singing of "0O Worsbip the King." For the c4ll to worship Mr. DequettevillW- told us about listening to the childfýn talking in the yard next to hist a new girl had just joined them there at the babysitters and they W@re playing the game, can youcopie to my bouse. He spoke of thé sense of sincerity in their.voices; the goodness and the spirit of beifig accepted and wanted, be likened il to bis being asked to corne and speak in our Church. The choir sang, "At the Cross." The Hymn "Wbat a Friend We Have in Jesus" was sung, Psalm 146 was read and tib,,n the readings were taken from 1 Kings 20:38-42 and Luke 12: 22-31. "How Firm the FoundatioîV' was sungz. Mr, Dequetteville titled bis Sermon "Confessîons of a Failure", he told us of hnow he and somie of bis fiends liked- to gel together in the my.orning ovç'r a cup) of coffee to discuss bow they would solve the problemS of tbe world, one of them a man wbd works with Social Services said he was going to have to study up on bis job, as hie was going to have to teach a group of new officers, Perhaps this would be a good ideâ for the Church, get back to the blasics and find out wbat the Churcb and ourselves really mean. He thon spoke of the parable of the soldicr that was given the duty of guarding a prisoner and ýtold that if tbe prîsoner escaped, hie would pay with bis own life. He was given a position of responsibility, lie was aware of bis responsibility. He was a proud and Comment... I"Ever feel, ~ like you're losing it? L i k e everything is coming unglued; catastrophies are bombarding you- daily from ail sides, and the be-all and end-all most logical cure is to pull your bair out, letting loose a terrifie, no- bounds, sbake-and-sbiver scream? Yes! Wouldn't that feel great! For a few fleeting and treasured moments, -ah the beavy weight pressures and responsibilities would disappear . . . with one glorious temper tantrumn, adult style. t might even, bc fun to see the sbock on the kids' faces, wben they see you acting almost buman - wi th feelings and everytbing! At one time or another, each of us bas felt like this. I suppose we try, regardless of summer holidays, to keep up our normal sehedules, bectie or otherwise. As we know ail too well, when kids are off, "time management" takes on a wbole new meaning! The result can be a temporary case of frazzled nerves. So, join me if you dare, in a well-deserved screamn or two. We'Il count to ten and perbaps, for the very first time, remind ourselves just how many days are left 'til school starts again. Aah... Peggy MullIAn capable man. His prisoner escaped and when be was asked bow it bappened, he answered that be had just got too busy, no task in pan-icular, he just got too busy. He now stood under thepenalty of deatb, flot because of what be had done but because of wbat lbe didn't do, a sin of omission. We are like that, like the soldier. Why did he fail, flot because he didn't know wbat bis duty was, yet be stili failed. We know what our Christian duty is, but we do flot do our duties. Wben we get together we don't do tbings to lift up, we want to talk about problems. We would like otbers to do rigbt but we don't belp and do rigbt ourselves. Had the soldier been overwbelmed by others, we would bave felt son-y for bim, but be, just failed. t is easier to accept tbings as tbey are than to try to change tbem. Tbe youtb of today seem to accept things as they are today, tbey don't ask questions. We do the tbings we want to do, we rationalize our reasons for doing it. Mie soldier was flot lazy, flot stupid, he just got too busy with otber things and faïled to do bis duty. The closing bymn was "Guide Me O, Thiou Great Jebovah."
