Cindy Van Hoof, London, Ontario Llf Mrs. Van Hoof can't say enough about her gas dryer. Since she replaced her electric with a natural gas dryer a year and a half ago, she hasn't had a single problem. And because she has a husband, and three children between two months and four years old, she does at least two loads of laundry a day. Her laundry is always very fluffy, because, since gas heats up and cools off very quickly, there's less chance of overdrying. And she's also found her gas dryer actually dries faster. See a large range of natural gas dryers made by Inglis, Simplicity and Maytag at a nearby Union Gas Appliance Centre or your local appliance dealer. There's a big selection of features, union GFIS timing controls, cycles and colours to choose from. appliance We think you'll find, like Cindy, that a natural gas dryer is the natural choice for your home.

Coast and the Youth Worker on Manitoulin Island. The choir selection was the beautiful "Tallis Canon". Rev. Keith Brown, continued the series on the book of James basing his comments on Chapter 4, using the sermon topic, "The Problem: For Self or For God". James says that selfishness stems from a desire to gratify self-appetiteswhatever they may be, and that we are responsible for these appetites, which fight against God. Another area is over- confidence and boasting, as if God had no effect on our lives. James gives five remedies for this self-interest: Practise humility, resistance to the devil through prayer and surrender to God's will, closeness to God, cleansing and a change of at- titude toward sin, toward others and toward God's law of love. Our duty now is to apply James' solution to our daily lives.
