This notorious first belongs to Guy and Patricia Walton who became the proud parents of fraternal twin girls December 3. All of McHenry hospital and of course McHenry Shores are very excited of the bubbling news. Michelle Lynn born at 5:40 p.m. weighed inat6 lbs., 11 oz., and has dark hair while Jennifer Lynn born at 5:45 p.m. weighed in at 7 lbs., 8% oz., and has blonde hair. The proud - parents claim no history of twins on either side of the family and needless to say, it was a complete surprise right up to 5:45 p.m. when the second girl was born. The twins will be welcomed home by their only sister, 10 year old Shelley Lynn. We understand that papa' is doing just fine and mother will have quite a few buttons to sew on his shirts on her return from the hospital. The proud grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Fruehe of Lake Zurich and Mr. and Mrs. John Walton of Fox Lake will have their work cut out for them when it becomes time for a baby sitter. Patricia asks that any friends who may have a suggestion as to how to make 24 hour day into 48 hours to please call and let her know. I'm sure that all of us in McHenry Shores wish only double happiness to both Guy and Patricia.

Chappell, Pastor First Baptist Church, McHenry request for a variance as to square footage for a new residence. The request is for the incompleted foundation on Biscayne. No action was taken at this time. Although the present building code known as Ordinance No. 2 provided for and explained the conversion of garages to habitable space an additional amendment known as Or­ dinance No. 2.3 was passed to further explain this type of conversion. You can find this Ordinance No. 2.3 printed elsewhere in today's paper under the legal notices. It was further discussed as to what type of work would require Sermits. After a lengthy iscussion it was decidea to refund permit fees that were collected for reroofing. To simplify matters a list for what type of work that would not require a permit will be available in tne future as soon as it can be assembled. Insurance coverage for the police department and correspondence on village letter head took a good portion of the meeting. These matters will be further discussed at the next regular board meeting Dec. 13. The meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m. BOWLING STANDINGS Team standings as of Nov. 30.

GIFTS AND GIVING - Part I - * St. Mark records an instance in the life of Jesus Christ when he visited the treasury of the Temple. He observed as people brought their gifts (Mark 12:41-44). Many who were rich brought their large gifts and placed them in the treasury. There was a widow in the group who came bringing only two coins of small value. Jesus called the attention of the disciples to this widow. "Verily, I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living," Jesus said (Mark 12:43-44). Christmas is a time of giving and receiving gifts. Probably too much time is spent thinking upon what is to be received rather than what is given. Few of us give a second thought concerning a gift to our God for Christmas. Let us consider the motivation of the widow as she gave this great gift to God. The greatest motivation for any believer to give to God is the desire to follow the teaching of thie Holy Bible. Such passages as, "God loves a cheerful giver," (2 Cor. 9:7) and "Give and it shall be given unto you," (Luke 6:38) are sufficient for the committed Christian. The widow knew such passages as: "The tithe...is holy unto the Lord," (Leviticus 27:30) and "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse," (Malachi 3:10) and even others. However, the motivation to give her all went far beyond the concept of the "tenth." Undoubtedly, there was also a motivation of thanksgiving. One could hardly imagine anyone giving her all without an emotional expression of thanksgiving from her heart. One does not give all unless it comes from the heart. We might identify her with the woman who was healed by Jesus of an issue of blood, though this is perhaps unlikely (Matthew9:20ff). This woman had "spentall" on doctors services seeking physical healing. A miraculous touch of the Master brought immediate healing. This woman could easily have given her last two coins in heartfelt gratitude. At this season, we should "Count our many blessings, name them one by one" (J. Oatman, Jr.) and our gifts to God could become more proper gifts from the heart. A third motivation could have been an anticipation of a future meeting with God and our Lord Jesus Christ in eternity. She did not see the experience of this life to be final and ending. Instead, she understood and had accepted that God had prepared a place in eternity for her, and that place was in the very presence of God. Jesus taught that each of his followers would "give account" of his stewardship to God (Matthew 18:23 ff). As she gave this gift, it symbolized that she committed her complete self to God. Nothing was withheld. All was given. "But who am I and who are my people that we should be per­ mitted to give anything to you? Everything we have has come from you, and we only give you what is yours already!" (I Chronicles 29:14 LB).
