lO'-Orono Weekly Times. Wednesday, March 14th, 1979 Kendal News , W,as there ever a sound more .brimming With cheer , Than a meadow lark's call in •the spring of the year? "Good morning world, it's a ' beautiful day!" The* lilt of his sunny bright song seems to say. There's one yellow crocus, a purple one too With spring in the air, the whole world is new! Glory and praise to the Giver of all. Wells up in the heart of the meadow lark's call. Helen Lowrie Marshall We have had the coldest winter in forty-five years with all the Great Lakes frozen over. However we have enjoyed the last two weeks of mild weather and the forecast is above normal for the next two weeks of March. Sunday morning there was a cold north wind blowing with a ' temperature of 20 degrees F, The ski slopes were covered • with skiers. There was a fine attendance attendance of children at the morning service. Instead of the children's story Mrs. Mary Lou Fonk's boys and girls acted out a skit on the story of St. Patrick. On Wednesday night, March 21 at 7:30 p.m. the Sunday School are holding a Talent Night. Every child will be given a chance to take part. This will be during the Easter break and we hope all parents and those interested in our young folks will attend. There will be a social hour to follow. Rev. A. Tizzard chose as his scripture reading St. John 1, v 35-51. His subject was "Peter - one of the twelve". Peter was born in Bethsaida - the son of a fisherman - used tq a rough, hard life. He was willing to accept Jesus by faith and trust, willing to leave all and follow. He said later when asked by Jesus, "Whom do you say that I am?" answered, "Thou art the Christ the Son of the Jiving God". Matt. 16, 16. His life' reminds us of the Sea of Gajilee, sometimes calm and beautiful, sometimes storm tossed. Peter declared "Lord I am ready to go with thee both into prison and to death". Luke 22, 33. A few hours later he said, "■! never knew the man". He went away but he came back. Jesus said to him, "If you love me feed my lambs, if you love me feed my sheep". St. John 21, v. 16. If we love Jesus may we feed his lambs. ' Mrs. K. Dykeman and her sister went by plane last week to Prince Edward Island to attend the funeral of their mother. Our sympathy is extended to the family. The March meeting of the United Church women was held at the home of Mrs. Helen Couroux on the first Wednesday with thirteen lad-. ies present on a most perfect spring day. Mrs. M. Stevens opened the meeting with a prayer that God would bless all children and give to their parents the spirit of wisdom and love. Then we sang, "When Mothers of Salem their children children brought to Jesus, No. 609. Mrs. Helen Couroux read the scripture Mark 10:13-16 rind Ephesiar s 6:1-14. Mrs. E. Foster read an article on the International, Year of the Child. We must reach out with love to all God's children. The roll call was, "In What way can I help children most." One mother said it was a mistake to be continually slapping children for little things they did wrong. It made them bad tempered. When they did something very wrong punish them in the right way. Withdrawing some priviledge was an effective punishment. Another Another mother said, "One must explain to a child why he can not have what he wants. The other members of the family have'to be considered. He must learn to share. The importance of a good example example was stressed. A speaker for our U.C.W. service May 6 was suggested. The minutes and financial report were given. The World Day of Prayer offering was $20.60. Trie Oshawa Pres- byterial meets March 28th, Then Mrs. G. Cathcart gave as her subject, "The Missionary Missionary who stayed $t-home - Dr. Thomas Barnardo". Most of us have known an English boy or girl who was sent to Canada from the Barnardo Home but not many of us have heard the life story of Dr. Barnardo. His father had a prosperous fur business and hoped that his son would take it over. To please his father he worked there for a time. He heard Hudson Taylor, founder founder of the Church of England China Mission speak and plead for volunteers to go as missionaries to China. So Thomas Barnardo left home to prepare for work in China. He then took Lodgings in London's East End. In the slums there he saw poverty and disease and a cry for help far greater than in any other city in the world at that time. While studying medicine at London Hospital in White- ' chapel he and some other students whitewashed a stable and turned it into a "ragged school." There they taught homeless boys. He spoke at a missionary conven- „ tion. His speech was written in the press. Helpers volunteered volunteered and money poured in. He was now able, to build his dream home for homeless boys. He tells of* carrots, a homeless boy who came one night. A member' of the' 1 volunteer staff said, "we are sOrry but every bed is filled, come back in a week and we'll have a bed. Three days later his frozen body was found, he had died of starvation starvation and exposure. Dr, Barnardo Barnardo said, "Never again", and he had a sign erected. "No destitute child is ever refused admittance ' to. this home", and the sign is there today. In 1882 the first shipload of boys was sent to Canada. They were placed in farm homes in Ontario. Later Dr. Barnardo visited Canada himself and founded a Barnardo Barnardo Farm at Russel, Manitoba Manitoba where older lads could learn to be farmers. Free homesteads were given to these .young bien and easy payment terms on machinery. machinery. Barnardo girls were also §ent out. Seventeen Barnardo girls became mayors mayors of Canadian towns. Many • ■>of the boys became influential citizens. Some became doc tors, ministers, members of parliament and etc. When Dr Barnardo died in 1905 he had helped 60,000 children and sent 20,000 to Canada, He had always gone down to the harbour to see his lads leave for Canada. After his death his wife bid farewell to the lads or her girls as they set sail. Lunch was provided by Mrs. R. Elliott and our hostess. Next meeting will be a very special event to which we are inviting Newcastle, Newton- ville, Shiloh and Kirby United Church Women to see the pictures taken by Miss Clara Seens, Peterborough and her friend as they travelled up the Pacific Coast last summer on the Thomas Crosby V, the United Church Mission Boat. This meeting will be Wednesday Wednesday evening, April 4th.
