RThe Canadian Statesman, l3owmanville, March 8, 1978 Section Two Deepest sympathy is extended ta Dr., and Mrs. Shearer of Peterborough in the loss of their twelve year aid son, Jeff, who was injured in a skiing accident at the Bethany Ski Club his. He was training for the final race in the Kawartha division of the Nancy Green League when hie skiied into a tree suffering severe head injuries. The Chaplaincy Department of the Peterborough Civic Hospital under the leadership of Chaplain Brown, will be conducting four training sessions on March 2, 9, 16, 20 for Church Lay Vistors ta the sick in the hospital. Chaplain Brown, 'together with other hospital personnel, will be the resource persans for these sessions.

Anyone wishing to be a Lay Visitor phane the Chaplain's Office, 743-2121, extension 228. An Irish Supper is being held at St. John's Parish Hall, Ida, in March. Rev. David Sissmore took Luke 9:18-27 as bis text and began by saying "Al of us know what suffering is, but suffering is nat only ta be expected, but alsa ta be welcamed, as God'declares suffering is good for us." The disciples discovered that Jesus was a suffering Christ. Luke mentions Him in prayer many times. Jesus was at the point of His ministry an earth. Before this generally things had been fairly positive in lis healings and in His minister- ing. Jesus asked His disciples, "Who am 1?' Herod was canfused because of what people were saying who Jesus was, as many said He was a great leader, thers said He was a miracle worker, but they wouldn't say He was a Mesiah, but still they wanted him ta be declared King. Jesus said He had ta suffer and be put'ta death, and the people thought when they crucified Him they would be rid of Him, but His resurnection proved differently. Ail have a cross ta bear and God allows us ta suifer so we will t.urn ta lm. We can do much by spending aur lives in helping athers, for we can have ahl the worldly goods but if we have no compassion for others it wil avail us nothing. In helpîng others we are witnessing for Christ and as we give aur lives ta the service of God eternal life enters aur damain, for, those who find rneaning in their lives they can put their suffer ing ta an advantage. A one hundred cup caffee urn, danated ta the Manvers, Community Centre by the Janetilîle Ladies' Auxiliary and the Boy Scouts, is missing since the Mante Carlo night, February, l8th.

United Church The Pontypool Congregation welcomed about forty-five Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cubsand Scouts of the area at, their church service on Sunday. This was ta commemorate the founder Lord Baden-Powell.' Twa beautiful flower arrangements in memory of Mrs. McKinley were placed on the altar by Mr. and Mrs. Ken Sinclair and Laurie Anne. Mr. Graham chose the tapic "In Christ" as his Sunday sermon theme. For the last four Sundays he had neferred ta the variaus ways one can came ta God. Now we have the new if e, the everlasting life, then we are called Christians. Christian means one of Christ's disciples. The word Christian is mentioned- only three times in the Bible and' not by the Christians, not by God but by those outside the group. Taday, in many societies the rules are stricter than they are in the church. The Bible says a persan "in Christ" is called a Child of God. He is one of a family, we are not part of the family of God because we are good, but because God forgives us and accepts us as one of His. We are camplete in Him, not by aur daily living, but in aur place befare God. How can we imprave that? We are told that "in Christ" we are a new creation, nat in bady, but with a new attitude, new hopes, new jay, new patience, etc. "In Christ" we are a child of God, accepted, complete, sanctified by the lave of Jesus. Confession Last night my little boy canfessed ta me Some childish wrong; And kneeling at my knee He prayed with tears- "Dean Gad, make me a man Like Daddy - wise and strong, I know you can." Then while he slept I knelt beside his bed, Canfessed my sins, And prayed with low-bowed head, "O Gad, make me a child Like my child here- Pure, guileless, Trusting Thee with faith sincere."

Why do I feel transparent i the presence of a child? Why am I often laneiy in a crowd? Why are people sa sober before a dlock? And a-ten dollar bill? Why arn I so laud when P'm wrang? On so fierce when I'm afraid? Why is the human face most beautiful. when, it is l"ýookingup? - - Why, in moments of cnisis, do people wither, curse or pray? Why daes prosperity drive us apant? And adàversity bring us Stogethen? Why is it painful ta celebrate alane? Why does my ability ta ask questions exceed my capacity ta neceive answens?, Why am I a mystery even ta myself? Lord, give me the right questions, and biess My growing. Jeanne McMahon intro- duced the guest speaker, Rev. William Wells, ai North- minister Church, Peterbor- ough and he spoke in a most inspiring mannen an "Community Spirit in Modern Living." He says this subject h,as many angles and spoke ai Toronto with its bright lights, high rise apartments and immense population and yet there is little or no community spirit. Living in a rural area used ta have excellent cammunity spirit but due, ta new developments and people fram other cauntries moving in this good-wiil amang neigh- -bouns had diminished. We ask the question, "Who really wants to know us or are we just a part of a statistic? The Christian, Church has a valid place in our society - people of God's family who work together where there is love and care, for each, other. Rev. Wells spoke of ministering in a London area, where there were eight churches with three ministers. Two of these churches had a congregation that was totally black, but Mr, Wells said that although the National Front of Englaftd found faults in the blacks, lhe could see beautiful God - 111w spirits ini these black people. What does it meanto bepart of a commnity We may flot be of the saine nationality but ~we can still worship the samne God, for God is no respecter of persons. He said i the United Church there are seventy nie different languages. Our churches should give every one a warm reception and, make visitors feel accepted and loved. As you realize that God loves you it changes the way you live. It's flot your intelligence that saves you, it's your faith. Knowlng you are loved, you can love others, but love must begin i the home and community spirit begins with whom you live Sour daily life. From home ase you can reach out to others in the community.
