"A great Storm bas been raging for two weeks and Paul is on bis way to Rome to stand trial. The sailors knew that they could escape to the shore in a small boat lashed to the deck of the great ship. Paul knew of their plot and knew tbat the passengers would be left bebind. To tbe sbip's leader be said, "Unless these men stay in tbe ship we shahl not be saved."' These same works can be used to describe the churcb in tbe world. The Great Sbip of Life tossed by many a Storm - many people bave left it, in small boats boping tbat tbey 'will arrive at a safer place. These people often see cburcb people carrying reiinon tbeir backs, as a budnratber tban a song in tbeir hearts. Religion should neyer be a burden but it sbould be a joy forever. Miss Peggy Scott and Mr. Stan McNeely favoured wîth a duet. Nestieton - United Cburch In tbe United Church, Reverend Victor Parsons chose "Work - Normal and Needed" as theme for bis Labour Day message reading Bible passages Il Timothy 14-19 and Luke 19: 11-17. Our- attitudes towards work determine how successful we are. Some consider work bateful, to be avoided if possible, others "Goof off and only fi time taking no pride in their jobs. To some work is a punisbment as it was to Adam and Eve in the Ga-rden of hiden _ -"In the sweat of your face shahl you eat bread. " Work fulfils life's needs, makes use of our God-given vocations and talents. Neyer belittie your work. Any honest work is admirable. Jesus was a carpenter and Paul a tent-maker. Work is a blessing and increases a person's resourcefulness. Work is an integral part of life but it is flot the wbole part of it. There is the seventh day of rest - to share in tbe joy of Creation - a six to one rbythm ini God's universe. Oshalwa Monument Co.
