10 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 12, 1978 BETANYNEW United Church Bethany Greeters for Apri are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Whiti and ushers are Tabath, Dupczak and Rosanne Rowar Don't forget the Sprini Fashion Show, sponsored b: the United Church Projec Committee, to be held aý Grandview School. 1 The Sacraments of, Baptisn and Holy Communion will b( celebrated on Sunday, April 9th at the regular service witt Rev. Gordon Montgomery officiating. Mr. Graham chose "Rest for the Seul" as his'sermon topic. In the 55th psalm David relates how he was going through painful times. He saic his greatest misery was that it had been inflicted by a friend, who had betrayed, him while posing as a trusted - friend. David could only find refuge in his faith, but he was restless, sad and disappointed and said how he wished he could fly away from it ail, a feeling we at sometime have ahl experienced. Of ten our responsibilities get se heavy we Want to run from them. For some in business, the load gets too much, or even in prosperity, the worries grow with the riches. Many try to find solace in alcohol or drugs but they are not satisfying. Guilt can become a heavy burden and this is another time we want to fly away from it ahl. In today's world we tend to "run away" by amusing ourselves. The word amuse is in two forms: "a"~ meaning "not", and "muse" meaning "think". Running away does not solve anything. We long for rest and this longing is a gift of God. If everything went well ail the time we would be tempted to settle in this world, se God aliows us to have worries and burdens, se we will rely on Hlm. Jesus knows ahl our difficulties and says "Corne unto Me and 1 wili give you peace" and thus receive rest for your soul.

WESLEY VILLE The beautiful sunshiny weather of Sunday,- April 9 found people on the move everywhere. Walking up side- roads which had not been travelled ail winter, they judged the depth of snow which had been there, by what remained in some places stili a considerable depth. Ponds of water are everywhere, but getting away gradually to the lake. Church service at Weicome was conducted by the Rev. W. Kennedy, who spoke of the Beatitudes and of the dîfference in the me'aning of many words in today's usage and at the time they were written, such as "Poor in Spirit" and "meek". They have a positive message, with no "do nots. " His message for the children was based on the saying, "Lt depends on your point of view. " He used the illustration- of-the mother who was visiting in the park with a friend and the subject of a hospital experience of the first lady's little boy who was playing near, was discussed. Said the friend, "If must have been very expensive", and the littie chap spoke up at once saying, "but mother said I was Worth it." The choir's anthem was a fine rendition of "The sands of time are sinking." This is the first day of the rest of your life" was the topic of the sermon. Today is s0 important it shouid not be overshadowed by yesterday and tomorrow. Whether we are hampered by the belief that all actions are fore-ordaîned, today is the part of our lie we deal with now. Early Christians had no doubt of their future and were willing to be martyred for it. The quality of our life depends on our purpose for it. Ushers were George Tufford, T.1 Wilson, C. Brice and C., Beattie. Mr. and Mrs.1 RECYCLING *Saves resources *Saves mioney and energy *Reduces disposai, costs ARE YOU INTERESTED in a Community-wide Recycling Program?

Lungs Too Little for Lufe If iungs are too tiny, they don't last long. And research- ers are trying to help under- sized infants overcome the fîrst hurdies of life. Many premature babies are perfectly healthy. But some "preemies" have lungs too small and underdeveloped to manage the miracle essential of life: the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Over haîf the -babies who weigh less than two-and-a-half pounds at birth have respiratory distress syndrome, a severe lung disorder of the newborn very rare in fulidtermn ipfants. New techniques1 - incl uding those that îdentify the trouble long before the baby is born - save many of these babies. But each year thousands stili die. Breathing probiems are obvious immediately, and oxygen treatment is usually required. But there are hazards in excess amounts of oxygen. Too much can damage the baby's eyes and cause blindness. Excess oxygen can also speed up chemnicai reactions in the lungs' celis and damage themn permanently. To prevent such disastrous effects, researchers are studying the effects of daily r- injections of vitamin 1E on babies who receive oxygen treatment for respiratory distress syndrome. Vitamin E is an anti-oxident,, which means that it slows down the interaction of oxygen with other elements in living systems. Preliminary resuits suggest that daily injections of the vitamin may improve the baby's lung function and also help prevent the effects of' excess oxygen. When more research resuits are available, vitamin therapy may become another important way to help iittle lungs last a long time. But, says Lung Assoclation, the evidence is clear that cigarette smoking by pregnant woY'men is one of the causes of undersized infants with underdeveloped lungs. Contact your lung association - the "Christmas Seal" people - about more facts about al kinds of lung disease.
