Magician wowsaudience By JOY SCHEIFELE S aturday, April 19 marked the 89th annual Sunday School Convention sponsored in co-operation of the church of East Williams and Lobo townships. Over a hundred and seventy teachers, children and parents gathered at the Carlisle United church near Ailsa Craig to gain insights, in- spiration and fellowship together at the convention. This year's program featured magician Lorne Overholt of London who presented the Christian message with a number of intriguing slight of hand acts. The children in the audience were completely captivated as he demon- strated a number of Bible truths by the use of magic, Even the adults present were put in a new gas furnace now,when Summer salmost here? Because you won't pay for it untig October,.. wlienliniters almost here. For starters, natural gas is clean, cheaper than oil* and secure in supply So even if your furnace isn't on its last legs, it could really pay you to go all the way to a clean- burning, warm and friendly gas furnace. If you sign up no later than June kept guessing as to how the little white dove could successfully pass through a pane of glass or disappear from a wooden box. In the afternoon Mr. Overholt shared a number of his secrets with teachers and parents as a means of capturing the attention of Sunday School students to help put across a lesson. In the meantime the children gathered in the basement of the church for a puppet show. "The Gospel Gang" froth Poplar Hills helped the children see themselves in many day to day situations, and helped them to recognize the Christian's responsibility in situations. One puppet trying to learn her memory work for Sunday School was being constantly interrupted by her little sister and was finding it increasingly dif- ficult to love those around her as her Bible passage was suggesting! Everett Kobes, president for the convention this year welcomed the many present, noting how inspiring it was to remember the generations who annually met together for the convention 'mid to share ideas and help nurture the communities. This year 13 different churches of various denominations were involved in the day. The afternoon concluded with the installation of of- ficers. Everett Kobes of the Friends Church, will take on a second term as president, Lois Watson of secretary, of the Beechwood Presbyterian Church, and Jim Bender, of the Nairn Mennonite Church, vice president. • CAPTIVATED — A large gathering of children were captivated by the the "Gospel Gang" puppets as they presented a special message at the 89th annual East Williams-Lobo Sunday School Convention held at Carlisle United Church Saturday.Thirteen churches of `carious denominations took port in the annual convention.
