Many people say "If I do my best everything will work out OK," but Paul is anxious to show everyone the greatness and the power of God and he wants us to grow in our knowledge of this power. Until we accept this power of God we are dead spiritually. Life is to know God, to love and share Him. He stands at the door only you can let Him in.

First "get- together" early in February. Be on the look-out for some exciting news. Pentecostal Church News Rev. Bill Cochrane gave the message in the Services on Sunday. In the morning Service Rev. Cochrane spoke from 2 Cor. 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in Weakness." We have weaknesses in living our Christian lives. We need to give these weaknesses to Christ. He will give us His strength to overcome our weakness and give us victory in the situation. This strength Christ gives us over- comes fear in following the perfect will of Christ in our lives. Rev. Cochrane used the example of a young boy who after being hooked on speed found deliverance through Christ at Teen Challenge in New York. The temptation to go back and try the drug again was overcome in his life when he said "yes" to Christ that he would live for Him giving his weakness over to Christ and letting Christ's strength take care of the problem. Sunday evening Joan Lockyer sang "Surely Goodness and Mercy". Rev. Cochrane spoke from Mark Chapter 13. No one knows when Christ will return except God. We as Christians need to be ready and working when that time comes to go with Christ. All Christians belong to the household of God. Each Christian has his own respon- sibility from God to tell people about Christ. We need to walk daily with God, so that we will see our responsibilities and do them. These responsibilities are the will of God in our lives. Explorers hold open ceremony Jacky Green conducted open ceremony for 15 girls. Interest centres on Japan were set up around the room.

By JOY SCHEIFELE AILSA CRAIG Five young students and two professors from Clinchvalley College in Wise, Virginia, toured many of the social institutions in this area last week. Majoring in social welfare and political science, the students were en- deavouring to become more familiar with some of the various social programs sponsored by our government, Included in their itinerary were visits to Craigwood, Nairn Group Homes, Craigholme Nursing Home, London Mission Services, With temperatures in the record breaking lows, only Ailsa Craig's hardy braved the elements and found their way to the ice pad beside the former public school last Saturday evening for the winter carnival. For the courageous few, it was well worth it as M.C. Doug McNair kept the events moving at a brisk pace with his genial banter. Adults, mostly clad in warm snowmobile suits and heavy parkas tapped their toes con- stantly while they watched the children enthusiastically take part in the events. Winners of the races include Sandra Oosterwal for girls 8-10; Heather McDonald, Karen Pfaff and Gail Slater rated 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the girls' 10-16.

The prize winning honour of being the oldest on skates went to Hugh Ross of RR 3, Ailsa Craig, while the youngest prize winner was Tob Killby. The evening was climaxed with a fast moving game of musical chairs in which contestants had to place themselves within an old tire sitting on the ice when the lively music stopped. Ron Whitmore captured first prize Weather causes postponement of symposium Due to the inclement weather the horse symposium scheduled to begin Saturday, January I7th was postponed last weekend. It has been re-scheduled for the three Saturdays commencing, January 31st at the Ed Driediger Ranch in Nairn. The symposium is being sponsored by Fanshawe College and is the first ever held in this area. The three Saturdays are divided into morning and af- ternoon sessions, with each af- ternoon set aside for riding in- struction in either western or english style, Instructors include well known riders, Miss Allane Featherstone and Canada's gold medal equestrian team leader, Tommy Gayf ord. Morning session will include lectures on the care and selection of equipment, care of the animals, first aid, and nutrition of the horse, Horses will be available for rent for persons interested in taking part in the symposium, but do not wish to transport their own horse, or as yet do not own one.

While in Toronto they were accommodated overnight in the heart of downtown Toronto, thus gaining insights into the prOblems and opportuities of the inner city. For all the students, this was their first time in Ontario. Many of our government assistance plans impressed them. They also expressed appreciation of the kind hospitality shown them on all occasions. Time was found for fun also. The thrill of snowmobiling was discovered and never to be forgotten!
