News On Tuesday, January 11, 1994, bec.ause of the pleasant mild day, 15 ladies were able to travel to Ebenezer in comfort. That was the theme chosen chosen by Mildred Muir for the devotional devotional - 'Comfort.' The first hymn was 'In Christ there is no east or west." Starting with the definition of the word 'comfort,' Mildred dealt with different ways of obtaining comfort - from people as expressed in the beautiful smile of a child - from sound as the radio is appreciated or a telephone conversation is enjoyed - from music according to our individual individual preferences - from physical warmth, especially enjoyed by those who have known COLD houses - or from the pleasure of a cup of tea or fragrance of a cup of coffee. These were some of our everyday comforts. The peace of spiritual comfort comfort was emphasized beautifully as Mildred read the 23rd Psalm, and followed followed with a lovely selection from the 'Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran. With Eileen Down at the organ, we sang 'The Lord is my Shepherd'. Mildred closed the worship with prayer. President Greta Down opened the meeting with an article 'Resolutions' which were all related to our attitudes. attitudes. We repeated the U.C.W. Purpose Purpose and the Lord's Prayer. Our archivist, Kay Mackie, spoke of the importance of keeping good records of church and community events, using the name of the newspaper newspaper and the date. We benefit from Kay's career as a librarian and her work with 2 Toronto newspapers and the Oshawa Library. At least one of the well kept scrap books will be displayed displayed at each meeting. Pat Smith, our vice president, read the Mission Minute which was the story of a mother whose only son was killed in a car accident and how she found comfort from a volunteer of the Durham Region Bereavement Centre. The office is at Northminster United Church, Oshawa, and the article article was taken from 'Mandate'. The offering was gathered by Treasurer Joan Down, while Eileen Down took up the collection of coppers coppers for the Fellowship of the Least Coin. Secretary Bernice Pearce read the minutes. The Potato Pie and Strawberry We spent extra time over lunch as supper date is set for Wednesday, Mildred served her homemade buns June 29. Greta closed the meeting with tea, always a favourite, and the with a benediction. sun was still shining! Real with Betty Smith THE ESCAPE CLAUSE When a Purchaser needs the equity in his present property as a downpayment on a new home, you, as a Seller, may be faced with entertaining an offer conditional on the sale of the Purchaser's property. Many Vendors may be reluctant to accommodate such an offer. If it contains an ESCAPE CLAUSE, however, it should not affect the saleability of your home. This clause permits you, the Vendor, to CONTINUE MARKETING YOUR HOME, while your purchaser is trying to sell his, rather than removing your home from the market and excluding other prospects. In the event that you receive another more acceptable offer (usually an' unconditional one), thën you so notify purchaser number one (in writing). If he is unable to remove ALL conditions in his offer within the time allotted in the Escape Clause - usually 24 to 72 hours - then his offer becomes null and void and you're at liberty to accept the second offer. Accepting a conditional offer without an Escape Clause is- just one of the common errors made when marketing your home privately. In a declining market, this little oversight can mean considerable financial loss. To avoid this and other costly pitfalls when selling your most valuable asset, entrust a Real Estate Professional with the sale of your home! Your questions and comments are always welcome.
