Miss Mayme Atkinson and Mrs Frederick Atkinson were co-hostesses on Monday for the December meeting of the Catholic Women's League. The executive of the combined Colborne and Brighton Anglican Young Peoples' Association were installed on Sunday, December 2nd, by Rev. J. A. Roney. Paul Island of Colborne was installed as vice-president and Peter Learmonth of Colborne as treasurer at the 9.30 morning prayer service at Trinity Anglican Church in Colborne. Deborah Gagne of Brighton was installed as president and Dianne Flindal of Brigh ton as secretary at the 11 a.m. Holy Communion service at St. Paul's Anglican Church, Brighton by Rev. James Gibson (Part 1) This article is one of two which I intend to present on the subject of Caleb, a character in the Old Testament Record. The second article will appear next week. In the book of Numbers, chap-eter 14, and verse 24, I read "My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went. And his seed shall possess it." Amongst the characters of the Bible, there is one that is particularly outstanding. Wherever his name occurs the Holy Spirit pauses to comment on his qualities and the comments are always commendations. Our admiration of the man increases with each contact we have with him in the scripture narrative. From his first appearance to his last, his record is a stimulation to our faith. If he were to appear on earth to-day would he fit in with the rest of us? Or would he, like Caleb of old, still be a misfit, out of step and misunderstood by less lofty spirits? It is this difference in spirit between Caleb and his generation that is especially remarked upon by the Lord. He was outstanding because he was different. "My servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him", is the way God designates him. The man with another spirit. Could you or I be pointed out by God or man as being of another spirit, different from the crowd? Would we want to be so designated? Most people do not want to be misfits. This is true in the with A.Y.P.A. members attending both Colborne and Brighton services. The ladies of ■ St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church held their annual Christmas Tea and Bake Sale on Saturday, December 1st. They report a very successful tea, perhaps owing in part to the beautiful spring-like afternoon. Brighton's Christmas street decorations and lights are very smart and effective this year and those people responsible are certainly to be congratulated.

RONNIE REPORTING Relief came to the students as exams met their end on Tuesday but there is still that bit of worry of how they made out. This has been a busy week for everyone and I am afraid to say there is not much to report. The Commencement exercises will be on Friday and Brighton's Santa Claus parade on Saturday. I hope you will all come to support your school band on Saturday and we'll be looking for you. Last week I told you about the touch of gray in the girl's hair, realm of style, customs and manners of living, but it is particularly so in philosphy and religion. We wait until we find out what the majority believe and then we side in with the crowd. We move to another community and wait until we get the feeling as to which church is the popular church and then we select that as It is the rare person who dares to go upstream in the face of popular opinion and take his stand for God, in the truth of the gale of unbelief. When you find such a one you have discovered a gem indeed. Caleb had another spirit with him. We meet the man first at Ka-desh-barnea. Twelve men were chosen by Moses to go in and spy out the land. Upon their return from travelling through the length and the breadth of Canaan, they submit their report. They reported that it was a land flowing with milk and honey. A land of figs and pomegranites. A land that bore grapes so large that it took two men to carry a cluster, on a pole, between them. But . . . there would be terrible opposition. The inhabitants of the land were ferocious and warlike, dwelling in walled cities. One tribe, at least, were des-cendents of giants, and alongside them they felt like grasshoppers. Thus far they were all in agreement, but here came the split. Ten of them were definitely of the opinion that il was too large an undertaking to think of subduing the inhabitants and gain possession of the land. But Caleb said, "Let us go up, at once and possess it, for we are well able to well, this week Heather Sinclair and Isobel Edwards did them one better. Thats right, this week it is wig warms. A wig warm which is part hat and half wig has been sweeping all the big citys and has finally come to Brighton and district through the aid of Heather and Isobel. The girls at school are going wild over these wigs and most of them love them. Have you your wig warm yet? Have you forgotten? I should hope not. I haven't had a phone call yet about a subeription. Only $3.00 a year will bring you reading enjoyment to set memories for a life time. Phone my number 475-0547 anytime or Elizabeth Gagne at 475-2891. While walking up town one night with some students to get some note paper a comment was made to how nice and Christmasy our town looked this year. The students of E.N.D.H.S. would like to congratulate the artistical decorator and tell him or her to keep up the good work. Salem U.C'W. The November meeting of the Salem United Church Women was held on Thursday evening of last week at the home of Mrs. George Peters with 21 in attendance. The president, Mrs. William Brown was in charge of the meeting which was opened with the Prayer of Confession read in unison. Mrs. John Fenaughty was in charge of the Worship period which opened with the singing of a Christmas carol. The Scripture was read by Mrs. Ken Bellamy and Mrs. Fenaughty gave the topic, "The making of a Christian Home. Mrs. C. Bellamy led in prayer. The singing of carol no. 58 closed this part of the meeting. The reports were read and approved and several thank-you notes read by the Sunshine convener. The president thanked overcome it". You see he was a man of another spirit. Although the whole congregation were on the verge of stoning him and his friend, Joshua, his viewpoint influenced by the word of God, never wavered an inch. We need them to-day, these men with another spirit. We need men who believe God in the face of the great mass of unbelief. There is a spirit altogether too common amongst Christians today. That nothing really great is going to be accomplished for the Lord. Oh, yes! they know that in the days of Paul, Luthur, Wesley, Finney and Moody, the impossible was done. But the days of the great revivals are over. The ten spies and the whole congregation would have been forced to admit that in the past God had proved Himself able. Fresh in their memories were the miracles of Egypt. They could remember the Red Sea, with Pharoah's Army sweeping down on them. They could recall the parting of the waters and the destruction of the mighty host, and the singing and the rejoicing on the far shore. They also remembered the daily suppfy and the smiting of the rock in Horeb and the refreshing flow of water. They had even met enerrty forces already and had seen how God had saved them. Fresh in their memory, too, was the awe-inspiring scene on Mt. Sinai, where in thundering and lightning the mighty God had manifested His power. Oh yes! God in the past had certainly proven Him capable to cope with any situation. "But this was different". (To be continued next week) members for helping at the auction sale and for decorating for the anniversary service. A donation was made to the Bursary Fund and also to fhe Bible Society. V Mrs. Al. Smith was appointed to replace Mrs. Patchett on the nominating committee. The Christmas meeting of our U.C.W. will be held on Wednesday evening, December 19th, in the form of a Pot Luck Supper and Mrs. Helen Woods will be the hostess. The U.C.W. members voted to purchase nuts for Christmas Concert and candy bage will be packed at the church on Thursday night. Mrs. John Fenaughty was in charge of the program. Mr. French spoke to us in a most interesting manner about the second chapter of "The Word and the Way". Ruth ended the program with a memory test contest. This was won by Mrs. French with Mrs. Helen Woods and Mrs. R. Barnes as runners-up. The meeting was dismissed by all repeating the Mizpah Benediction. A delicious lunch was served by the hostess and the committee in charge. ; Youth Meetings Big Success The Colborne United Missionary Church School sponsored a week of Youth meetings with Rev. Frank Wellington of Toronto from November 11th to 16th, 1962. The calibre of the program that this talented man presented was of the highest. The variety and range of his presentations left no dull moment. Attendance wise, it is possible that never before in all Colborne has there been such interest in spiritual things by the youth of our town. Attendance ranged from 125 to 185.
