Fernie House Extension The following account of this Pefferlaw extension of Fernie House is of interest in the Nestleton area as this proper- ty was Mrs. Grant Thomp- son's family home. The Johns- ton lands have been in the Johnston family for 150 years and are now being used for this worthwhile project. Mr. George Fernie after whom Fernie House was named, attends Nestleton Presbyter- ian Church on occasion, and Mr. Stan McNeely of Williams Point is Secretary Treasurer of Fernie House and assists at this new location. Pefferlaw area will soon receive a branch of the highly-rated Fernie House, a therapeutic group home for teenage boys. Fernie House is operated by the Presbyterian Church of Canada and it is astonishing the way these boys turn their lives around, once they are exposed to love and discipline. These are not boys from the other side of the tracks. They are boys who have no place to go. Through the generosity of Mr. John Sandusky, President of Whitehall Estates who purchased the property, Fernie House has been given a ten-year lease for $1.00 per year. The Johnston red brick bouse built in 1893 will soon be Home Sweet Home to many boys. Located on the bank of the Old Mill Stream, the house is comprised of ten large bedrooms, a large. living room, dining room, a family- size kitchen with a lovely old oak extension table seating 24 boys and staff. The potential for this property is unlimited. Two creeks flow throughout. There is lovely cleared land along the river bank and year-round recreational activities can be provided. The boys who will be housed in Pefferlaw have already been screened at the Picker- ing branch of Fernie House. There will be no new boys here. These will be boys who will be ready for finishing. They will attend local schools, take part in local activities and in some cases perhaps even do work ln and around the community. Counsellors at Fernie House will also be available to any local families who feel they have problems with which they wowuld like help. Ufnited Church Anniversary in the United Church on Sunday, October 23 at 2:30 p.m. Reverend Edward Schamerhorn of St. Paul's United Church, Bowmanville was guest speaker for the annual autumn anniversary service. Mrs. Robert Kyte, organist and Blackstock United Church Choir provided the music, Reverend Schamerhorn chose "What Happened to Yesterday" re the theme for his message reading Deuter- onomy 8:11-20 and Mathew 22:34-40. Mr. Schamerhorn expressed his pleasure at being present and said that he, as a boy, attended a country Church near Belleville. He realized the struggle that small country churches have to be able to keep going. He stated that it has been a pleasure to be associated with Reveend Parsons in the capacity as Chairman of Oshawa Presby- tery. This is an honour for him as well as an honour for the Blackstock-Nestleton Charge. "What Happened to Yester- day?" Irresponsible R.P. Van Winkle must have asked that same question when he awoke after twenty-years' sleep in the Catskill Mountains. Moral permissiveness, ethi- cal standards are passe. Our society is sick, our youth is sick. What has happened to yesterday? Our generation deletes the records of the past and makes new rules and do as we please. A preacher who went fishing on Sunday was Section Two accosted by a bear. He feit ne could not ask God to help hîm when he had done wrong so he prayed, "If you don't help me God, please don't help the bear." We must not forget the past. We must turn back to the faith and the principles of the past. We learn from the past. General Douglas McArthur won the Pacific war by using facts in a book thirty years old. The Ten Commandments give us eternal truths and guide-lines for today's living. The fabric of our society and our standards should be based on the moral precepts of the past. Learn these eternal truths from the past and renew the code of honour, truth and dedication.
