dampened by the freezing rain as they never did reach the scoreboard..

By Appointment.
Liast Tuesday morning at 10:00
we arrived at one of the Elmira
Mennoitite Churches. Here we
were greeted by Pastor Vernon
Leis. He began the day by
.explaining a little bit about the
Mennonite movement to us.
Basically, in the Waterloo
region, there. are 16 groups of
Mennonites. These groups have
some common beliefs but differ
mainly in their practices.
Mennonites dork,'t believe in
going to war but they do believe
that the Church should be
separate from the state.
The old Order Amish wear
beards and the Old Order
Mennonites do not. However,
they are starting to. This is one of
their only physical identifying
factors.
Fasically the two divisions are
the horse and buggy people who
don't have cars or telephones,
and the Markam Mennonites who
do.
Pastor Leis enjoyed throwing a
bit of humour once in a while. He
explained to us that there are
Amish who wear only one
suspender. They are Amish who
wear two suspenders. However,
tere are Amish that wear no
suspenders at all and these are
the ones admired for their great
faith.
Most Mennonites don't
believe in any type of insurance.
Instead they believe that God and
God's people should provide for
the needs of the people.
Mennonites are always ready to
help in time of need and don't
expect anything in return. In
recent years a Roman Catholic
living in the Waterloo Region lost
his barn in a fire. Mennonites
built him a new barn. He said that
during this time these neighbours
were far better than his
insurance.
In the Waterloo "Region the
extended family is very common.
The grandparents usually live in a
separate addition to the house of
their children. For recreation the
young people get together on
Sunday evenings to sing, play,
games and dance. Just about'
each Mennonite group has its
own Church except for a few
which alternate on Sundays.
The Amish, however, meet in
homes of various families. Their
services last from two to two and
a half hours. Mennonite children.

attend one-room school houses
until grade eight or until they're
fourteen years old -- whichever
comes first. These People believe
that education beyond this level
would threaten • their faith;
however, they are • strong
belie"vers in formal training.
We viewed a film entitled "The
Mennonite Story" explaining the
history of Mennonites up to the
present clay. Another small film
showed all of the commercials
sponsored by the Mennonite
Movement.
Pastor Leis invited us
do"wnstairs for a luncheon where
we were served a typical
Mennonite home-cooked lunch of
potatoes, ham, peas, carrots,
salad, bread, and apple pie. It
was simply delicious.
After lunch we viewed books
written about or by Mennonites.
This included their workbooks.
We also admired crafts in their
craftroom which displayed crafts
from a number of different
countries.
Our bus trip involved a tour of
the general area. We viewed
farms of different groups of
Mennonites; Many of those men
operate machine shops in the
area, where they make machinery
to order. They very seldom use
the products themselves. They
are also expert plumbers,
carpenters and bricklayers. What
one man doesn't know the other
does.
"Mennonites continue to
express their faith in practical and
concrete ways. They believe that
their Lord is calli ng them to
believe and do, to confess and
obey, to "reconcile and forgive, to
love and serve, to sacrifice and
give, to live and work together, to
demonstrate that there is another
way."
