l»\(iK :$ - FLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 197:1 Ringwood News Oxtobys Travel To Arkansas For Thanksgiving Though the temperatures were in the 70's, it was a rainy, wet Thanksgiving for June and Bud Oxtoby. They travelled to Mountain Home, Ark., to visit June's aunt and uncle, the William McCabes. June's mother, Mrs. Theresa Nelson, accompanied them on the trip. Because of all the rain, another aunt living there was un­ fortunate enough to have her home flooded by all the run-off from the hills around her. One day while the folks were downtown, June was pleasantly surprised to meet Peggy and Ron Jacques who now live in Gasville. Other folks who enjoyed 70 degree weather were Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Cristy who spent Thanksgiving with their grandson, Larry Cristy, who lives at Jacksonville, 111. However, they had beautiful, sunny weather to make it almost summerlike for Thanksgiving. CONVALESCING AT HOME We are very happy to hear that Frank Visconti has been released from the hospital and is now convalescing at his home. Frank had the misfor­ tune to be in an auto accident when he was hit by another car driven by a man who had fallen asleep at the wheel. The ac­ cident occurred Nov. 9 in Lake county. CONDOLENCES We were saddened to hear of the death of Johnny Madison of Kenosha, brother of Mrs. Nellie Hepburn. Funeral services were held last Saturday and Mrs. Hepburn spent the weekend with her sister and brother-in-law, the Russell Soddys. On Monday, the Soddys drove Mrs. Hepburn home and on the way stopped in Bristol, Wis., to visit Mr. and Mrs. Loren Longbons. HERE AND THERE Other folks who spent Thanksgiving away from their home included Mr. and Mrs. A1 Mecham, Sr., who spent the day with Al's sister's family, the Gilford Pierces in Zion. Mrs. Mabel Hawley spent the holiday with her daughter and family, the Ernest Reinwalls and sons, Gary and Mark. Mrs. Anna Reinwall also joined them for the day. Mrs. Hawley spent Friday in Woodstock. The Art Christophers spent The Bible Speaks Virgje L. Chappell, Pastok^ First Baptist Church, McHenry TO LIVE IS CHRIST In life, all of us have many things in common. We are all creatures in need of oxygen and food. We are social beings, etc. There are also many ways in which we are different. Each of our concepts of values and goals for life is somewhat unique. Ob­ jectives in life are probably varied, at least in degree of intensity, as there are individuals. We are unique human beings. The Apostle Paul stated that to him, "For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). Paul had analyzed life's situations and drawn the conclusion that his life meant "Jesus Christ" and Him alone. The Apostle had had great ambition for himself earlier in life. He spoke of being a "Hebrew of the Hebrews," having completely lived according to the Law of God (Philippians 3:1-8). He had one of the best educated minds of his day (Acts 26:24). His desire for personal success and achievement was not to be surpassed by anyone (Acts 9:1; P h i lippia as J: But the time came when this all changed, ijy his own testimony*, that change took place while on his way to Damascus at nootf one day (Acts Chapter 9 and 22). Paul, in that experience, had a per­ sonal encounter with the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, and that en­ counter was life shaking to him. He says later, "I (now) count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord; for whom I have suffered (permitted) the loss of all things and do count them but dung (refuse), that I may win Christ" (Philippians 3:8). Those things which used to be the objectives and goals of his life had suddenly left him and now there were new horizons to be seen. He said, "I was not disobedient unto that heavenly vision". (Acts 26:19). Christ Jesus had directed him toward a new set of values and Paul adopted those values. They were the basis upon which the Apostle later became the first missionary for Jesus Christ to the world. (Acts 13:1-3). Paul's burning desire became that of in­ troducing others to the Christian faith - or more correctly - to Jesus Christ Himself (Romans 10:1,1 Corinthians 9:19 ff). Those he had once rejected and sought to destroy, now became his companions as they sought to lead others, "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God" (Acts 26:18). Paul is called the "Apostle of the Resurrection." He had a vivid vision of the future life with Jesus Christ. This future life would afford all joy. But to Paul, his present life was not a drag. "For to me to live is Christ!" Even as an old man, the anticipation of life with Christ in eternity did not cause him to become anxious to leave this life. He always, in every situation, rejoiced as he was able to tell someone else about the wonderful nature of his blessed Lord. "For to me lo live is Christ." the day with the Bill Cristy family. The Christophers' daughter, Diane, called them early Thanksgiving day to wish them a happy holiday and also to let the folks know her husband, Gary Linstad, had gotten a deer early in the hunting season. Callers at the Charles Brennan home on Thahksgiving were his sister, Mrs. Jack Leonard of Lake Geneva, • and his niece, Jane Leonard of Highland, Ind. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Seaborg and daughter, Britta, spent the holiday with Harv's brother and family in Schiller Park. Dick and Phyllis Zell and son, David, spent Thanksgiving Day with Phyllis' sister and family in Zion. Debbie (Betts) and husband Bill Bork of Champaign were home with Mom and Dad Betts (Martha and Bob) for the Thanksgiving weekend. Bill's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bork of Chicago were also there for Thanksgiving dinner, also Martha's mom from Hebron. David was also home from Northern University. The Benoy family had their annual Thanksgiving dinner at the Ringwood church on Thursday. Because of various reasons there were several missing this year, the stork and miles to travel, so hopefully there'll be a full house again next year. Paul and Althea Walkington and son, Lee, traveled to Macomb on Friday of last week to spend the weekend with son, Tom, and wife, Mia Walkington. A good trip they had. Friends and relatives this week enjoyed the visit of Earl and Dorothy Betts and sons, Ed and Eric from Gasville, Ark. They arrived on Tuesday before Thanksgiving and left for their new home in Arkansas on Sunday. Dorothy says the weather has been beautiful down there and the dampness really went thru them now that they have gotten use to the warmer climate. Was so nice to visit them while they were here. If anyone ever gets down that way I'm sure they would welcome your stopping and bringing them news from Ringwood. Clayton and Virginia Bruce traveled to Downers Grove to have turkey dinner with daughter, Cindy, and her hubby, Russ McPherson, on Thanksgiving Day. Site ind Dee Thofton? and "daughters, family and Julie, now from East Lansing, Mich., spent Thanksgiving with Sue's folks the Gordon Fossums. Frank and Lil Visconti had turkey dinner with Sue and Ed Erwin and children in their new home in Johnsburg. Ed's mom and his two sisters and their husbands were also there to help Sue and Ed eat their turkey. The Dennis Rich family and Judy's mom, Mrs. Miller of Wilmette, Judy's brother and family of Libertyville all spent Thanksgiving day with the Kuellers in Skokie. Darlene and Larry Lehmkuhl and family spent Thanksgiving weekend with their parents in Clinton, Iowa. They of course went in their mobile home. Thanksgiving dinner guests in the Patti Miller home on last Thursday were Walt and Doris Low, Ray and Tom, Walt and Alice Mae Wilcox of Wood­ stock, Mabel Thomas and David Miller of McHenry.

Nowicki continued, "The growing food shortage, un­ checked population growth, water shortage, pollution, inadequate fuel and an endless list of crisis upon crisis can all be found foretold in the Bible record. In our upcoming convention we will also learn what we as individuals can do to survive the end of this system." The gathering will not be limited to Jehovah's Witnesses.

Cafeteria and refreshment facilities will be available to care for the needs of the nearly 1,500 expected to attend. 'M SUNDAY S A SERMON Growth A house is composed of many individual parts, but it is built brick by brick and plank by plank. It does not grow from the acorn like a tree. So is a child bom, an infant, helpless, needing care and atten­ tion to reach maturity and the useful days of life. And there are many steps along the way, and many avenues to travel. There are also many needs and require­ ments. Nourishment, love, guid­ ance, protection, each in some way helps to shape and mold. The parent is foolish who be­ lieves that the child just "grows up," like the tree from the acorn. But the sad fact is that some acorns never take root, but wither away on the ground. Some do not receive proper nourishment and cannot reach upward, straight and tall, toward the sky. Growth is a natural develop­ ment for all living things, but all living things grow best under proper conditions. And a child must grow both physically and spiritually. One Problem There is only one problem with buckpassing -- it usually turns out to be a boomerang! AN IMPORTANT SEMINAR/LECTURE MIND CONTROL & E»«Y Recently, many national publications such as Life, Mademoiselle, Harper's Bazaar, National Observer and Sales Manaqement featured articles about SILVA MIND CONTROL ® These articles, along with many others, discuss how tnousands of people across the country have learned through MIND CONTROL® to use more of their mind and to productively develop the vast hidden potential that lies within every human being.

Exploration of this almost unknown continent the human mind has been pioneered by a soft spoken researcher, Jose Silva of the Institute of Psychorien tology in Laredo Texas 24 YEARS OF RESEARCH The Institute of Psychorientology, under the direction of Jose Silva, began their research in MIND CONTROL in 1944 to see if it was possible to increase an individual's IQ factor. Amazingly, Silva discovered that not only could IQ be increase, but a person trained in this technique could even control the thought process to such an extent that it could be applied to practical advantage The implications of this breakthrough were staggering in depth studies also revealed that anyone with a normal mental aptitude could develop so called ESP and clairvoyance when trained in the Mmd Control method In 1966, the Institute decided to release their f indings to the general public Techniques have been researched and refined to where only 40 to 48 hours of class time are required to learn the SILVA MIND CON TROL® method COME AND LEARN We invite you to attend this special introductory seminar which will include a discussion on Alpha bram wave training latest reports of psychic research and a explanation of what is taught in the other SILVA MIND CONTROL @ course 150,000 GRADUATES COAST-TO-COAST SEMINARS Time: 8:00 PM INTRODUCTORY SEMINARS & LECTURES All Seminars Are Identical Tuition: $3.00* CRYSTAL LAKE ... • • • • MARTINETTIS RESTAURANT 6305 N.
