6 The Canadian Statesman, Bownanville, June 21, 1978 Section Two BETHANY Congratulations to Allan Williams and Jo Anne Staples who were married on Saturday, June 10th at Janetville. Women's Institute The Bethany Women's Institute enjoyed a scenic trip to Mr. and Mrs. Kloepfer's cottage near Burnt River, where they enjoyed their hospitality and held the final meeting for the season with Maureen Preston presiding and Carolyn Porteous reading the minutes and the treasuer's report. Thank you notes were read from Candy Malcolm and Frances Jackson and a letter re the junior training school on "Essential Edibles" leaders will be held on September 5th and 7th. Maureen thanked the members who helped with the exhibit for Millbrook Fair and also the float for the 24th of May parade and she also congratulated Ruth Jennings for her splendid work in the Tweedsmuir History.- Ruth suggested that a "house log" be kept of a dwelling when it is sold the log be left in the home for future history reference. A report of the District Annual was read. In order to buy kitchen utensils for the new Manvers Arena the committee is having a penny sale on Saturday, June 17th at 1 o'clock and the figure skating group is having a garage sale in the morning at 10:00 a.m. A discussion on the wherea- bouts of past institute books was considered, and it was decided to send a letter to Ross Davidson to have him look in the municipal vault. Georgie Scott's group was responsible for the program and Mrs. Rowan read an interesting motto "A smile is one thing you can't damage by cracking it", and spoke of how a smile helps and encourages many people and a cherry word can dry a tear. It takes 72 muscles to frown, whereas it takes only 14 to smile. The first meeting in the fall will be on September 11 in the form of a picnic at Lindsay Park and a visit to Lindsay Arc Industries. Cars will leave Bethany at 11:30 a.m. The Block Parent situation will be considered at this meeting.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from his friends and neighbours is extended to Mr. Clarence Neals, who is in the Civic Hospital. Congratulations to Margaret and Earl Weatherilt, who celebrated their twenty-fifth Wedding Anniversary on Sunday, June 11. Many friends and neigh- bours called on them to offer their best wishes and we, of the community, wish them many more happy, healthy years together. Another senior citizen has reached the ripe age of ninety years. Mrs. Gertie Rowan received many "Happy Birthday" cards and although her health did not allow an Open House her many friends and neighbors sent best wishes and good health wishes. United Church During the month of July the United Church will be closed while Mr. Graham is on holidays and St. Paul's Anglican, extends a welcome to worship in their church. The Goodnight Angel The goodnight angel comes at eve Across the quiet hills, And tucks the sleepy blossoms in," Beside the meadow's rills. On uplands wide each drowsy bird He cradles in its nest, And in the dewy valley far He rocks wild winds to rest. He pauses in his gracious guise Where little children play, And blesses each before he speeds Upon his kindly way; And ere he passes back to heaven Beyond the sunset bars, To watch the babies, birds and buds, For lamps he lights the stars. Mr. Graham spoke on "The Rich Man and Lazarus" on Sunday. In Job 14:10 we find the question, "But when a man dies and is buried, where does his spirit go?" Humans over the ages have tried to ansver this question but none satisfied, despite the progress and discoveries made, we still are confused when we come to death. Only God can give the answer. Jesus described the condensed story. He said, "There was a certain rich man (no name) dressed in fine linens and purple (a colour very expensive to produce) clothes. He fared extravagant- ly every day and made no preparation for eternity. And there was a beggar, named Lazarus, (God is my help), who was starving and covered with sores. Both men died, we don't know how, but we know that Lazarus was carried to the bosom of Abraham by the angels. But the rich man died and was buried - he was in the abode of the souls, was unhappy and called to Lazarus. There is a complete separation after death between the bad and the good, if they do not change their way of life. The rich man did not want to stay in Hades, but was refused his request by God. Jesus died and came back, not very many took heed of it, or want to know what happened after death. What is Heaven? It is our Father's house for those who are His children. Jesus prepares a place for us if we want it and can see the beauty of it, if we listen and abide by God's love. God so loved the world that He gave his only Son, that whosoever believes on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. U.C.W. The meeting of the U.C.W. was held on June 5th at the United Church Manse. The president, Mrs. Scott, thanked Mrs. Graham and she read a poem "Patchwork". Mrs. McMahon read the treasurer's report and Mrs. Coppins read a note of thanks from her parents for the splendid manner the U.C.W. managed her parents' seventieth wedding anniversary. Thank you notes were received from Mr. and Mrs. Ferren, Carl Porteous, the Bentley's and from Street- haven, where supplies are needed. Material will be bought to re-cover the Sünday School screen. Sunday School picnic is to be on June 25th. Mrs. Scott reported on the Spring Rally at Springville, which thirteen members attended. Two coffee spoons with the Church's crest were purchased for Mr. and Mrs. Cavano's anniversary. An invitation was extended to the 25th anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Weatherilt and also to the Pontypool salad supper. Elaine Phillips gave the monthly book report on "Canadian Establishment" by P.C. Newman. It depicted the story of well-known millionaires such as E.P. Taylor, Eatons, Bud McDougall, etc. It was decided to sponsor a Fall Fashion Show in October. Mrs. Alice Neals used "Time" as her topic for the worship period and referred to Eccl. 3:1-11. There is a time for everything, so take time not only for material things but also for keeping in tune with God, and she closed with a poem "When I have time". Mrs. Linda Syer, teacher of Weight Watchers, explained the history of Weight Watchers and spoke how the organization meets once a week and each member bas the same problem and the same goal and yet the "diet" does not demand starving oneself, but can eat three balanced meals a day. Mrs. Helen Beer's group served a non-weight watcher's lunch. Sincere get-well wishes are extended to Mrs. Wring who underwent surgery at St. Joseph's Hospital this week, also Mrs. Mary Finney and Mrs. Georgie Scott.
