NEWS St. Paul's Anglican Church Rev. Wainwright expressed appreciation for thoughtful- ness of friends to hlm and his wife in the bereavement of his sister. He chose an interesting and inspiring subject on Sunay as his sermon topic. Since it was Al Saint's Day he referred to the meaning of a "saint". He said Hallowe'en is supposed to be the eve before All Saint's Day, but many of us forget that Hallowe'en is supposed to be a holy day and also a Christian day. We also forget that we, ourselves, are saints, but instead we think of those afar off of long ago, as those referred to in the back of the Prayer Book as saints. They are special people, they achieved sainthood. In times of weakness we often say, "Well, I'm no saint, you know," as if the statement lets us off the hook of the demand. Saints be far from us and we're not expected to be, but we are saints and we are perfect, you and 1, because we are saints of God. The sinner is the saint, and the saint is the sinner - how do we come to that conclusion? The Old Testament and early churches treated all believers as saints. Paul addressed his people as saints. What is a saint? A saint is a believer that Jesus is the s( of God, and a saint is one wl expresses his belief in sayiî "I am perfect." Can we s that? How can we be perfi and yet totally imperfect? M live two lives - a real life a yet walking as a human bei - a dying life and yet a livi life. Everything we do, see touch deteriorates in this li but faith life is eternal. T saints, such as Mark, Jol- Matthew, Luke etc. believ enough to express it in th< lives and to walk in it, and believe the things they i every day as eternal as G bas given it to us. When a baby is baptized becomes a new bo Christian. We can't see it as saint then, but if nurtured saintly parents and responds to God in later year people see it as a perfect sain What are we expressing - a we expressing a sainthood, th new life that comes'b knowing Jesus?

A beautiful afghan was displayed and it was decided to have "a silent auction" for it at the tea and bazaar on November 18th in the United Church Sunday School Room. The worship service was most interesting when Mrs. Margaret Beer used "A Living Sacrifice" as her theme. What is meant by a living sacrifice? It is to live for Him daily, and to love one another with true Christian fellowshib. Mrs. Beer read an appropriate poem and Mrs. Francis Jack- son read the scripture from Romans 12:1-18. There is need of exercise and good nutrition and if we see someone in trouble do we ask ourselves "Are we helping enough? God asks for our love and other things will follow."

Ruth called on Belle Smith to speak on "Physical Fitness", and she read a poem by Edna Jacques declaring that "happy words, happy thoughts and happy dreams" make a happy day. She then gave some facts regarding exercising, 1. vigorous exercise has been more effec- tive in reducing muscular tension than chemical tranquilizers 2. Heart attack survivors are two to three times greater than for those who have been inactive 3. The specific effect of exercise reports improvement in the ability of the body to utilize oxygen, reduce body fat and regulate high blood pressure 4. Regular exercise can help to maintain flexibility. The ladies then participated in some exercises set to music. Some good "Beauty Tips" - for the lips - truth; for the eyes - tenderness; for the hands - charity; for the voice - prayer; for the heart - love; for the figure - uprightness. Apply freely and faithfully and notice the change in less than a week. Keep a smile on your lips, a song in your heart, and a feeling of kindness to every- one.

Ten second sermons that are worth more than ten second thoughts: 1. We make CLOCA Continuing Reforestation Assistance Plan a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. 2. Faith is a steering wheel, not a spare wheel. 3. A good sermon helps in two ways - some rise from it strengthened, others wake from it refreshed. 4. If you're not as close to God as you once were, don't be mistaken about who's moved. 5. Married folks should remember that in a wedding the "we" comes before the "I". 6. The steam that does the work is invisible, it's the waste that makes all the fuss. 7. Happiness must be used daily. You cannot preserve it.

The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority is continuing its private Reforestation Assistance Programme. This programme applies primarily to rural properties within the Authority's area of jurisdic- tion, which extends from Lake Ontario to the top of the Oak Ridges Moraine, and from the westernmost limit of the Lynde Creek watershed east to include the Soper Creek system. Through the assistance programme, reforestation can ensure greater soil conserva- tion, reduced threat of flood, and improve water quality. Reforestation also provides wildlife habitat, aesthetic appeal, recreational opportu- nities and a potential econo- mic return to some properties. Under the Reforestation Assistance Programme, a landowner with holdings of two acres or more orders the seedlings from the Ministry of Natural Resources nursery at a cost of 1 cent per seedling. Immediately prior to planting, the Authority arranges the pick-up of the stock and plants them at a cost to the owner of 1 cent per seedling planted. Planting will commence in the spring of 1979. Any landowner with appropriate holdings within the Authori- ty's area of jurisdiction who wishes to participate must apply to the Authority. Seedling and tree stock orders should be placed with the Ministry of Natural Resources as early as possible, prefera- bly by the end of November. MILLS BROS. FUELS LTD. 138 Wharf Rd.
