A graduate of Ottawa’s Everest

says that she teaches programs that
help a range of people, no matter
what their level of computer literacy.
“We really service a range of
people,” she said. “We can help
people who haven’t been on acomputer before, or people whowant to learn about their camera,eBay, Kijiji, we really cover a lot ofdifferent topics.”Other lessons Narzel has taughtinclude Microsoft Word, Microsoft
Excel, genealogy research and
website design.
The programs are free, which is
unique in the area, according to
Narzel.
“I’ve heard that they teach theseseminars in Goderich too, but thisprogram is for free,” she said. “Icover the same things they do, butthey charge $20 per person.”Weeks that she isn’t in Blyth,Narzel is at the Howick Library.

We are sad to report that our
principal, Mrs. Alice McDowell has
suffered a fall. She is greatly injured
and in a hospital in Kingston.
We wish her well and a quick
recovery.
Our track and field meet was held
last week. We want to congratulate
everyone who will be going on to
Regional Championships. There
will be practices after school for the
next two weeks in preparation for
the Regionals on June 9.
The Grade 6-8 will be focusing on
water issues, as well as investigating
the current oil spill and volcanic
eruption. They will be analyzing the
short-term and long-term effects of
these disasters.
The Grade 6 students will be
doing EQAO the second week in
June and are looking forward to
showing off all they’ve learned this
year.
The classes have been finishing
project after project and over the
long weekend many teachers will be
marking non-stop.
Happy birthday to Niel Edgar of
Wingham who will celebrate his
birthday on May 29.
Birthday wishes also go out to
Albert Wasson and Grant Sparling
who celebrate on June 5.
I hope everyone had a safe and
holiday weekend.

The purpose of God for our life on earth
(J. R. Miller, “Garden of the Heart” 1906)
We should get it settled in our minds, that the purpose of God for our life on
earth, is to have us grow into Christ’s image. We are not in this world merely to
accomplish a certain amount of work -- but to be fashioned into strength and
beauty of character. If we would always remember this, we would not be
perplexed so often by the mysteries of our lives.
If joy is ours -- it is to make us better and a greater blessing to others.
If sorrow is ours -- it is to purify us and bring out some line of Christ’s image in
us more clearly.
If our hopes are disappointed -- it is because God has some better things for us,
than that which we so earnestly desired.
If we are called to endure pain -- it is because the best in us can be called out only
by pain.
If bereavement comes and we are left without the strong human arm we have
leaned upon heretofore -- it is because there are elements of strength in our life,
which never could be developed unless the human supports were taken away.
If our burdens are heavy -- it is because we grow best under burdens.
If we are wronged by others -- it is to teach us better, the great lessons of patience
and sweet temper.
If our circumstances are uncongenial and our condition hard -- it is that we may
be disciplined into self-control, and may learn to be content in whatever state we
are in.
The Master is always teaching us new lessons, making us into the beauty of the
pattern He has set for us, and preparing us for greater usefulness and better
service.
