RThe Canadian Statesmnan. Bowmianville, Novemnber 9, 1977 BE T H A NYNEWSýÊ The Critic A litte seed lay on the ground, And soon began to sprout; "Now, which of ahl the flowers around," t mused, "shahl I corne out?" The lily's face is fair and proud, But just a trile cold;, The rose, I thînk, is rather loud, And then, its fashion's old. The violet is aîl very well, But not a flower I'd chose, Nor yet the Canterbury bell I neyer cared for blues. And so it criticized each flower, This superclous seed, Until it1 woke one sunimer morn, And found îtself - a weed. "The Light of the World"l Mr. Graham of the Bethany United, Church referred to Matt. 4 "the saît of the earth", which he spoke on two weeks ago. He said, "SaIt purifies, attracts and preserves life, as he has to show his Christianity by his actions" ye are the light of the earth. The world today, as the world of the first century, favours darkness. The renaissance was called the era of enlightrnent. The light of the world cornes from i common folk not fron flor- escence, poiticians, royalty, but from simple people whoj have faith in and love for God. A Christian, should look at what a person 15, and then at what he does. Paul said "'The light exposes the hidden darkness," The scribes and Pharisus hated Jesus because He showed thern for what they were, not the light of goodness and knowledge they claimed to be, but the self-righteous thev were. .Man was made by God and cannot live without Him. Jesus Christ carne to the world to save it. You and you alone are the light of the earth. The Evangehical Fellowship of Peterborough is sponsoring a Spiritual Life Conference from Nov. 7 to loth in the Salvation Arrny Temple, Peterborough. Guest speaker is Rev. Gerald B. Griffiths, Pastor of Calvary Church, Toronto. St. PauI's Anglican Rev. Chatterton taught the young people a lilttle littie chorus: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Sweetest naine I know, Filîs my every longing, Keeps me singing as, I go. 1 Susan Jarvest read the first lesson from Matt. 26. Next Sunday, Nov. 6th wil be a musical event in the church when the choir frorn St. John's will be present, as they portray an American P'olk Mass, accompanied by a guitar. An invitation is ex- tended to everyone to attend this service. The Bible study at Rev. Chatterton's on Tuesday even- ings wiil be based on the parables. This week it is parables for doubters. Rev. Chatterton's sermon was a 'continuation on the subject of prayer, and based on prayers in hard times and he referred to Jesus, Paul and ourselves. He dîscussed it as prayer, the answer and the blessing. Even Jesus as He hung from the cross realized the power of prayer and yet He became depressed as He said, "Father why have you deserted Me? " Sometîrnes our answers are not as we expect them to be and yet a blessing was received when Jesus rose again and accomplished great things. Paul was sickly throughout his life and went to God three times to free hlm from this affliction, but God said His love was sufficient to make up for the physical weakness. Thus Paul continued as God's messenger despite his infirrn- ity. His blessing was that he looked forward to the time when his mission on earth was ended and he would be rewarded. We, as indivîduals, must learn to isten for "the still, small voice" and often there is no time lumit on the answer, but eventually will be a blessing for us, so "Continue in Prayer." The Sunday School, under the leadership of Mrs. Debbie Wood and Mrs. Gloria Johns- ton, is well attended and pupils are enthusiastic about the guidance of teachers and fellowship of other chîldren. A welcome is extended to al young people, regardless of denomination. Mrs. Sue Bonsteel visited Mr. and Mrs. Frank White on Wednesday. High score in Ladies' Bowl- ing was won by Beulah Robinson with a score of 369 for two games and runner-up was Gertie Clark with a score of 353 for two games. Nine tables of euchre were played on Saturday evening in the Cavan Hall. High scorers for the evening were Mrs. Elmhurst of Peterborough and Mrs. MeCamus and low prizes were Won by Mrs. Whittington Of Peterborough and Mr. Bill Armitage. The Women's Institute group served a delicious lunch. The next euchre party will be Saturday, November l2th at 8:00 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Harold White have extended an invitation to friends and neighbors to help them celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on Nov. l2th in the Bethany Town Hall. The residents of Bethany and area would like to express their appreciation to the young folk who called at their doors on Hallowe'en evening, and each child was very polite and said "lthank you", for the gift received and evidently "1many received much", frorn the fullness of their bags. Lt was "Dad's night"' too, as many fathers accompanied the littie people. However, it is always sad when a few of the "big kids", spoil the fun by snatching bags from younger ones, and then when the firemen are called out after midnight to entinquish a fire foolishly set by someone. Luckily, the alertness of the firemen and other good citizens managed to prevent it from spreading very far. Hallowe'en can be fun--- let us keep it that way! Golden Star Senior Citizens "A prayer for growing old" was read by the president, Belle Smith, as an opening for the meeting on Wednesday. "Lord, Thou knowest better than I know myseif" that 1 arn growing older and will some day be old. Keep me from getting taikative and particu- larly from, the fatal habit of i thinking I must say something1 on every subject and on every1 occasion. "Make me thoughtful, but not moody, helpful, but not bossy. With my vast store of wisdom, it seerns a pity not to use it ail, but Thou knowest, Lord, that I want a few friends at the end. Seal my lips on the subject of my many aches and pains, they are increasing, r and my love of rehearsing ji them is becoming sweeter as a years go by. c "i'Give me grace enough to t, isten to the tales of other, aches and pains with patience. r Teach me that it is possible s that I rnight be mistaken. g Keep me reasonably well- F temp e red, I don't want to be a o aint, some of themr are so c Lard to live with. Amen." a The theme song was sung, iv nd the minutes of the last ci mleetings and the minutes pi [om a New Horizon executive meeting were read by the w secretary, Mrs. Violet Carr. financial report of the tea ani bazaar held in October wî given by Mrs. Nva Porteou The proceeds were mor gratifying and the presider expressed appreciation to a the members for their spier did co-operation and contribi tions to the sale.

The highlight of the after- noon was the recognition of MIr. and Mrs. Rowan's fiftieth Inniversary. A decorated cake centered the candle - lit table of honour, and a poem 'God Bless Our Home" was read by Charlie Smith, which soke of love and parent uidance of Mother and 'ather.
