Blood is needed very badly, so please give this need ~serious tbought and give Dave a caîl. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jakeman, Mrs. Ina Palmer and Mrs. Mildred Bristow with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Palmer attended the annual Remnembrance Day dinner sponsored by the Millbrook Legion. Mrs. V. Ritchie of Toronto spent Remembrance Day weekend witb Mr. and Mrs. W. McMabon. They visited Mr. and Mrs. Gary -Byrne and Mrs. Byrne Sr. at View Lake. St. Paul's Mr. George Harrison of St. Margaret's Church,. Toronto,' and Marlon Wood read the epistle and gospels at St. Paul's and Ted Hodginson assisted Rev. Dyer witb the Communion Service. Rev. Dyer saîd tbere are areas in if e when we need to mind our own business, but there are moments wben we need to bave concern and there are times when we need (o be helpful. He referred to Paul's message to the Romans that "none of us can live entirely for himself," but as Christians in fellowsbip of love wie must have concern. We none have the same thoughts, but we must be able to relate to one another. Our Lord didn't go alone, his first act was to gather a group of men. They were men who were concerned with bow He lived, and at the end of the tbree years of Jesus' ministry they knew the truth and their need for one another as related to life and the life bereafter. Jesus lived in relation to thers because He knew His death would mean so much to us. He lived for others and He died for others. On Remembrance Day it's important to rernember that man does not live for hirnself. Remembrance Day is not just a sentimental act, but it reminds us that we can't live only for ourselves but we mnust live for others. Servicemen feit strongly about living and dying for others. Tbey stood for principles we live by and many died for these same principles. The Lord did exactly the same tbing but for a greâter i'eason. Thaf war- is still gbing on, but in a more subtie way. 'Wbat are we living for? For whorn are we living? Whatever our lives are we cannot live tbem unto our- selves for someone is looking, someone is expecting, and someone is taking note of ahl we say and do. What effect will our deatb bave on others? We must live unto the Lord for others and die thus, for it's only in that way we can have satisfaction and happiness and be a true witness to a Christian life by speaking and practising our, faith unto others.
