Writing his column isn't always easy. The common problems, such as lack of ideas, writer's cramp, a twistecl typewriter ribbon and a deadline that arrives too soon, probably don't surprise you. But 'a few extenuating circumstances crop up that you might not expeii. By the way, I seldom expect them either. For example, the most bizarre• episode happened a few weeks ago while I wrote a column on the Olympics. The. night after the closing ceremonies one of the U.S. television networks aired a summary of the Games. I was visiting my sister and her family, and we all gathered in front of their TV in the rec room. ' Planning to take notes, I settled comfortably on the floor with my scratch pad, arid as usual, I soon became oblivious to what took place around me. I just kept scribblilng, and as each page filled, I flipped-it down on the oarpet. During the cpmmercials, I read the account of the Olympics in the evening newspaper. Before • long a mat of if newsp pers and sheets of notes encircled me. at seems to be another of my characteristics. I was absorbed in a film clip, when my concentration was suddenly shattered by the sound of crumpling paper. My newphetv's two-month-old pup, Skippy, had bounded into the room and landed in the middle of my notes. When.. my sister called her, she left as abruptly as she arrived taking my pencil, with her. I retrieved the pencil during a commercial break and no harm was done. . A few,. minutes later I heard paper rustling again. I reasoned that, if I shooed her away, she'd think I was playing. But, if I ignored her, she'd, probably go away. My psychology, worked! 'She soon lay down beside one of the boys, and I resumed writing in peace. After awhile, I detected a pebuliar odour, but I was too busy to think much about it. The next thing that jarred my conscious- ness was my nephekv exploding into fits of laughter. He pointed to the floor near nfe and spluttered something about Skippy. I was puzzled for, a momnent until I looked down at the newspaper. It was wet, very wet, and so were most of my notes. Skippy was well-Mined. ' My sister grabbed the pup and took her outside, I don't know why, though; Skippy's emergency was over. Mind had just begun! My niece and her dad turned their -faces • away; they seemed to become engrossed in the TV. Meanwhile, my ne 'phew gave pp his battle to stay on the couch 'and rolled onto the-floor. When his mother r turned, she reproached him warningt/wasn't funny. But even she couldn't hi a slight smirk. Fortunately, I had -read most of the paper, but I had to copy two pages of notes, partly from memory and partly from soggy sheets. What I go through! Bertha.

The Heavenly People is one titre you could give the Swedenborgians. They talk about heaven more' than any other place: Heavenly marriages, heavenly bliss, heavenly friends, heaven before and after death. All this heaven because of Emmanuel Swedenborg. He saw visions of heaven back in the 18th Century. Those who believed him started a church based on his visions and teaching. Two of tKeir churches are located in the Kitchener area. Expositor Columnist and CBC freelancer Karl Schuessler has prepared an hour's documentary on these Swedenborgians.
