Mr. and Mrs. McCathney of Quebec were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Graham. Mr. Graham welcomed all visitors to United Church on Sunday and a number of Anglican St. Paul's members worshipped with the United folk. Decoration Service at Fall's ' ietery was well attended &rrSunday, when many friends and relatives remembered loved ones. Mr. Philip Wins- low gave a most inspiring sermon and the cemetery was beautifully decorated with summer flowers and plants. We're told to love our enemies. That in this life we face. For giving blessings not deserved. leveals to them God's grace! Mr. Graham chose as his subject "What shall it profit?" He said many barriers have been set between man and God, but the main one is "pride". In Old and New Testament time.s pride led many away from God, and it is the same today because we consider we have more to be proud of because of our advancement in science, lux- uries, amusement etc. Man is inclined to look on things he has achieved and be puffed up and forget God's part in our intelligence. Jesus said, "What should a man profit if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?". What good are our accomplishments if we lose our soul? We live in a time of more money, more luxuries, in fact, more of everything. What is meant by the soul? Man is a three-part being: 1. body - which makes us world conscious. We feel heat and cold, see etc., in fact, it is an earthly bouse of our tabernacle; our tent bouse on earth. 2. Spirit - whicb is not visible but makes man God conscious, but because of the fault of man he loses his connection with God. 3. Soul - is that which makes us conscious of ourselves. What if a man lost his soul? The word lose is used in many ways; 1. misplaced, 2. des- troyed - a human soul is an immortal being. 3. forfeit - tragedies occurred in New Testament days when life was forfeited by debts. 4. exchange what will we give in exchange for our soul? Paul makes a flat declaration that all have sinned, become slaves, sold our freedom; but he also says Jesus bought us from slavery and freed us from being forfeited or lost. Pride often makes us refuse and we go on in our old faith of thinking we know all or there is an alternative, we can through Jesus accept His free gift and realize His wondrous love. Jesus still says, "What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" The baseball playoffs are the competitive games of the season this month. A very close game was played by the men on Sunday evening be- tween Bethany and Coombes and Ferg (Omemee), when it was anyone's game until the final bats, when it ended in a score of 4-3 in favor of Omemee. The Port Perry and Bethany Bantam boys ended in a score of 8-3 in favor of Bethany. These lads are a promising group for senior players in later years. Best wishes are extended to Carl Weatherilt for a speedy recovery from a surgical operation. Congratulations to Wayne Martichenko, who is having Open House on Friday, Aug.
