12 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. March 22. 1978 Section Two BETHANY Sunday School at St. Paul's, Bethany is now at 10:15 a.m. All Children are welcome to attend. A new programme, which should prove interest- ing and enjoyable is being used. Rev. Sissmore began his sermon with "Everyone is a leader." We often think of ourselves as followers but we are really leaders. Consider the role of parents, plder brothers and sisters, grand- parents, teachers, employers etc. all are leaders of various occupations. The question isn't whether we lead or not, it's how we lead. Jesus had a certain type of leadership as found in Mark 10:32...He wenti ahead of His disciples to Jerusalem despite the fact that He knew there would be trouble, and He told His disciples what was going to happen. Jesus seized every opportunity to tell them the truth, but John and James' request was natural. He told them as He says to us that to be a leader one must be human, loving, and Christ- like. He brought the disciples together in His quiet manner and explained that each, to become great, must first be as a servant and put the interest of followers foremost. Sorry I was misinformed wè extend our deepest sympathy to Shirley and Jim Kloepfer in the loss of her brother, not her brother-in-law, in Nova Scotia. A speedy recovery is wished for Mrs. Lawrence Staples after her recent operation. Trust you will soon be well, Vera, and able to be home from the hospital. Wonen's Institute A short business meeting and dessert luncheon was held before the ladies took a tour of the Maple Leaf Milling building and the Aluminum Industries. The roll call, "a product considered harmful to health", proved many inter- esting facts regarding many foods we are eating which are not of nutritional value. The 4-H Achievement Day is being held at the Grandview School on April 15. Parents and visitors are invited to attend during the afternoon, when the girls will demon- strate their record books and what they have learned in their project "Major in Meats". Judy Kerr bas earned provincial honours and Marilyn McGill has won County Honours. Senior training schools and short courses were discussed, and further plans will be made at the next meeting. Mrs. Georgie Scott gave a brief outline of library meet- ings held at Janetville and Pontypool and she announced there wil be a general meeting in the Bethany town hall on March 28. This is an important meeting, so community-mind- ed people are asked to attend. A report from Women's Institute director's meeting was given by Mrs. Georgie Scott. There are a few positions to be filled at the district level; they are Secre- tary-treasurer and assistant secretary-treasurer; a Feder- ation representative and an alternative; a Board Member. The District Annual is to be held in the Bailieboro United Church on May 17. A "Luncheon is Served" date will be announced later. The ladies were welcomed at the Maple Leaf Mills Limited, Master Feeds Cavan Feed Plant, by the manager, who told them how large the area of the feed service extended and said the company was very satisfied with the business. He then divided the Institute members into three groups and they were given an interesting, educational tour of the plant. Among the interesting areas were the truck hoist which lifts the trailers up 45 feet, dump scale at the rate of 3 dumps per minute or 3,200 bushels of corn per hour; clipper cleaner, corn dryer- gas fired 1200 bushels per hour; storage-2 large silos 30 ft. in diameter and 100 feet high and 4 small silos 18 ft. in diameter and 60 ft. high, a capacity of 150,000 bushels of corn; truck and rail unload- ing, roller-can steam and roll barley, oats and corn; weigh hopper and mixer, a micro mix room for mixing vitamins, minerals and medi- cations are premixed for each batch of feed; pellet mills; rotex screens, molasses mixers, tallow applicators for the outside of pellets and krumbles; two bagger units; bulk out systems; pellet coolers and krumble rolls; grinders; warehouse 300 ft. by 80 ft. The members then toured the aluminum industries plant, where they saw alumin- um cut, shaped, pounded and marked, polished and pack- aged to be sent to stores throughout Canada and United States. The next meeting of the Women's Institute will be the annual meeting. Margaret Jarvest thanked Freida Morton's group for planning such an interesting program. United Church Years cannot make their strength decay, Who lean upon the Lord, Nor age fling shadows o'er the way That's lighted by His word; Their path doth bright and brighter shine, Till perfect in the skies; And life's soft eve is no décline, For heavenward still they rise. When winter's might hath rent the oak, Or summer blights its shoot, The streams of God can heal the stroke, And sprout its deathless root; And souls, that have the fountain quaffed Of Christ's world-healing side, Arise, immortal from the draught, And live, through Him that died. Mr. Graham spoke on "Christian Life" in his sermon on Sunday. We all talk about the Christian life, but what is expected of the Christian life? It is often spoken of as the walk of life, meaning how we live. Our "walks" are often imperfect, but since Christ is perfect, the closer we walk to himthe nearer we get to perfection. The Bible mentions three temptations we should avoid, and watch for: 1. the standing - we always find three things we should run from - greed, ambition, and selfishness. Be not conformed, be transformed, be renewed says the scriptures. 2. the flesh - not in the sense of abusing the body by starvation, for it is the wrong idea we have that we have to abuse our body to be pardoned our wrong. We are a rebellious nature, we don't like authority. 3. the devil - be sober and vigilant, because the devil is ever seeking someone to follow him and he works through the good, especially through the religious. God deals differently with Christians than with non- christians. God's enemies will be judged harshly, but God's children will be forgiven and dealt with a fatherly discipline and love. The Christian life should be consistent to the calling as an ambassador of God and as we stay near Him we experience love with discipline. Nelly Michel attended the Peterboroiugh Presbytery at Lakefield as a lay delegate. Reports were given by the administration, communica- tions, finance, mission Canada, ministry, mission outreach and stewardship. A sing-song followed by serendipity exercises conduct- ed by Rev. Bill Wells which were joyous, full of noise and chatter at first, but became sedated and almost silent, when they did the "trust walk", where members dis- covered they could not make it alone, but had to share and trust. B.J. Klassen, program resource person for the Con- ference divided the audience into groups of four and gave them the theme "Household of Faith" where they had the opportunity to answer such questions as, "Where am I in the community of faith?" or "Where am I going?" The next step, after a hearty supper and another sing-song, they imagined themselves in a bouse of four rooms, contain- ing: one room, the Bible (your beliefs, read i1 Thess. 2). One room, Rebirth (becoming a Christian by rebirth read Rom. 8:5-9). One rQom, Nuture (becoming a Christian by nuture Cor. 3:7-91. One room, ministry (becoming a Christian by ministering in the community. Rom. 12). The question they answered was "If you had that House, which room would you "fit in?" or would you add a room or more? The last question, "If you were alone in a desert island and had the choice of only one page of the Bible to take with you, what page would you choose and why? The majority of answers was the twenty- third psalm. After reading "I have a visiion" in unison Holy Communion by candle-light was received. This was a very challenging day, a day of searching, sharing and up- lifting experience. I Have a Vision I have a vision of a Church where people are welcome because they are persons, not be.cause they have a credal passport. I have a vision of a Church where Christ is exalted in totality of what he was, and people encouraged to respond to Him because of what He is to them now. I have a vision of a Church where ministry is considered valid because it iS born of the Spirit and bears fruit of the Spirit. I have a vision of a Church which is not a museum for the outworn remains of a fossilized piety, but a haven for the very weary and very human! A place of healing for the bruised and broken, a place where there is laughter of children, the brightness of joyous music, the sure confid- ence of the Word of God, the exuberance of youth, the strength of men and women, the counsel of age, the power of the spirit of the living God and the power of the very common and very real love for one another.

Clarke and Mr. and Mrs. Cliff Tripp. All declared they had beautiful weather while they were South and each came home with a good tan. Mrs. Jane Tinney had the misfortune to fall and break her hip. Luckily she was near the phone and was able to call a neighbor. We wish her a speedy recovery with not too much discomfort. Thought for the Day - Smiles open doorways so that friends can come through. Mr. and Mrs. Jakeman were so pleased to have their nephew, Mr. Ivor Jakeman, of Arthur, attend Mrs. Jake- man's birthday party. A special effort was put forth by Ivor, as boarding buses is a problem for him, due to a serious handicap, so the uncle and aunt really appreciated having a visit with him. Deepest sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Frank White and family and Mr. and Mrs. Ken Syer and family, and 6ther relatives of Mrs. Roxie McElroy, sister of Margaret and Mildred, who passed away on Thursday, March 16th. Manvers Township Arts & Crafts Show Exhibitor Profile For their part in the Victoria County Spring Festival of the Arts, the folks of Manvers Township are planning a big Arts and Crafts Show in the new Manvers Arena, across from the Grandview School at Hwy. 7A and 35. Of the more than fifty contributors, one delightful couple who will be showing their wares, are Paul and Beverley Williams, both award winning craftsmen and proprietors of Williams Design Studio in Bethany. Paul designs articles in leather from belts, purses, briefcases, backgammon and chess sets to unique sculptural art pieces. He has won many awards for his leather designs which are very unusual and original. Since 1972 he has been' teaching in southern Ontario, including Barrie, Toronto and Oshawa. Paul's wife, Beverley, hand weaves pillows,' clothing, fashion accessories and specializes in colourful one-of- a kind wall hangings and macrame sculptures, designed to order. She is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art in Material Arts and has studied weaving, spinning and dyeing techniques both here and abroad. Beverley has won many awards, scholarships, and commissions for her beautiful works of art. Bethany is fortunate to have these busy folk settled in their studio in the village. Last fall the arrival of little Brewster added another future crafts- man for Manvers. When the Arts and Crafts Show opens June 3rd and 4th, this will be a special booth the people of Victoria County won't want to miss. James Rawlins, 23, of R.R. 3, Cavan, was killed, and a passenger in his car, Robert Webster 28, also of R.R. 3 Cavan, was injured when their southbound car collided with a cattle truck, situated across the highway and about to back into a highway. The truck was driven by John Porter of R.R. 1 Janetville but he wasn't injured in the collision. Our sympathy is extended to Mrs. Rawlins and other relatives. Mr. Rawlins worked at the Maple Leaf Mills, Cavan and was one of the guides for the Bethany Women's Institute on Monday when they toured the plant. We are all saddened by this tragic death.

Since I have an all-risk home-owners policy, is the total amount of the loss covered? A: I'm afraid not. Personal property recovery is limited to 50 per cent worth of your home. So you will recover $20,000 of the loss. If you're at a loss about how to solve your insurance problems, please give me a call. l'Il always give you a professional solution.
