8-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, March 8, 1989 Kendal News (Continued from page 2) The meeting closed with hymn 115 'Crown Him With Many Crowns.' A delicious lunch was provided by Mrs. L. Downs and our hostess. Next meeting April 5 at the home of Mrs. A. Cathcart. Humorous epitaphs found in cemeteries. On the grave of a sea captain who was drowned (Capt. Underwood) - "Here lies, free from blood and slaughter, Once Underwood Underwood - now underwater." In Arizona, U.S.A. - "Here lies John Ross, kicked by a boss." A man in Dorchester - on - Thames, Oxfordshire, England who didn't like doctors - "Here lies one who for medicine would not give, a little gold: and so his life he lost, 1 fancy that he'd wish again to live. Did he but know how much his funeral cost." On Friday, March 3rd, the World Day of Prayer service was held in Shiloh United Church. The roads were bare so there was a good turn out. Rev. B. Ransom brought a fine message and an added pleasure was two musical numbers sung by Mrs. Beverly Higgins and Mrs. Ingrid Berzins. They accompanied themselves on their guitars. The invitation invitation to prayer came from a small group of Christian women in Burma. The subject was 'Lord, teach us to pray.' A rather shabby looking man came forward to serve a customer in a Dutch shop. Nothing odd about that really, but the customer would have been amazed at that assistant's topsy-turvy life! Not long before, he had been the master, and his present boss had been his servant. He had also been famous as an artist. Rembrandt Harmensez van Rijn was born in Leyden, in 1606, the son of a miller. In 1631 after training training as an artist, he moved to Amsterdam and became well known all over Europe. His pictures brought him large sums of money, but as fast as money came in, it went out again, on other paintings, on generous gifts to friends and acquaintances. acquaintances. A slump in the art world resulted in his bankruptcy. The only possessions possessions he had left were a Bible and two foot-warmers. Yet he did not despair. His son Titus stood by him and so did his former servant Stof- fels who employed him as a shop assistant. It was only after the death of Stoffels in 1664'and Titus in 1668 that the artist really felt despair. He 1 died on the 18th of October 1669 in poverty and regarded by many as a failure. Yet his Dutch interior paintings paintings and his religious.pictures such as "Descent from the Cross" and "Christ Heals the Sick" are now . priceless. In life poverty; after death, 'an immense art legacy. From "The Friendship Book." Mr. and Mrs. Bernie Martin entertained two cousins from California at her father's home (Mr. Gedrge Loft's house of Oshawa). They also visited at Kendal Kendal during the week.. On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Martin motored to London for a special Sunday in Bennie's Bennie's Mother's church.
