Mrs. Robert Grasby is the Belgrave Presbyterial Repre­ sentative. The newly relected members stood to accept their responsibili­ ties. The congregation rose to indicate their support for the installed persons. The minister chose scripture reading Matthew 25: 37, 44 as theme verses on his text, “Judge­ ment.” There were two groups of people involved: Righteous and Unrigh­ teous - a picture of judgement with sheep on the right hand side; goats on the left.

In last week’s news we reported: Those celebrating the birthday of Bluevale 4-H dub studies shopping BY JANICE HEISE On March 23, the Bachelorettes once again met. Ann Morton read the secretary’s report and then the members opened their books into a realm of facts about money. Some important *‘do’s” on managing their money arose con­ cerning such ideas as to whether the items we buy are necessary and if good judgement is used upon purchasing them. They found also The picture gives a clue to real discipleship. The fascinating fea­ ture is that neither group knew why it was standing on the designated side. The ignorance of the Right­ eous eliminates any possibility of their behaving so as to build up a credit balance. They ask “When Lord, did we ever see you hungry etc. and feed you.” The unright­ eous question “When, Lord, did we ever see you hungry etc. and not help you?” Discipleship has to do with attitudes. An attitude must be to a specific person in a certain way. It must be an attitude of love and caring in any circumstance. Con­ vey that you love and care for persons. Faith is believing the gospel that God loves everyone, everywhere without exception. Jesus was prepared to go to the cross for you and me. The choir sang, “If I were Given Just One Prayer”, with organ accompaniment by Mrs. George Procter.

Mrs. John McIntosh introduced the guest speaker Mrs. Victor Jamieson of Brussels who con­ ducts Bible classes and works with young people in the youth group in Brussels. Mrs. Jamieson spoke on the wore} Covenant. The word Conven- ant is a common word in the Jewish religion which means agreement, a bargain or relationship between two people. Mrs. Jamieson and Mrs. McIn­ tosh gave a demonstration of exchanging robes, belts and wea­ pons as a convenant of a vow of friendship between them. In Biblical sense a Covenant is a relationship between Man and God. There was an old Convenant between God and Man and that old relationship was based on law. If the relationship was to last, people must keep the law. With Jesus a new relationship is opened to many dependant not on law but on love, not on man’s ability to keep law for jio man can do that, but on the free grace of God’s love offered to man. It cost the life of Jesus Christ to make this new covenant or new relationship. The blood of Jesus Christ was shed in exchange for man’s sins. Mrs. Ross Anderson thanked Mrs. Jamieson for giving an indepth study of the word Conven­ ant. Tea and cookies were served.
