Tucker says ‘Only Jesus can heal’ h huge crowd turned out Sunday at the Wawanosh Nature Centre near Belgrave for the annual fall colour tour sponsored by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. Tony McQuail of St. Helens provided a hayr ide around the site for as many people as could be handled but many more decided the wait for the wagon was too long and walked over the various walking trails. Belgrave 4-H Club protects Compiled by Mrs. Helen Stonehouse. Phone 887-9487 senses Rev. Peter D. Tucker, B.A., B.D., minister of the Belgrave United Church charge, chose He­ brews 13: 1-16 and Mark 1: 1-11 as the basis for his remarks on Sunday, October 1, at Knox United Church. He stated we have pro­ blems in the world. These may, in part, have risen from lack of discipline in the present era of child-raising. Persons do not usu­ ally develop into better and better people with discipline. The theory Explodes. Parents must instruct wisely and set firm rules to avoid self-destruction in a family. He illustrated his point by relat­ ing an incident on a Saskatchewan farm. A length of rope secured at each end stretched from the house to the barn. This was a guide line to his destination for the chore-person during snow whiteouts in winter. On one occasion, previous to the rope installation a man had become lost in a storm. Good intentions are not adequate. Good intentions and results may be compared to a magnifying glass and contact lens­ es. There are presently many changes. People live in uncertain­ ty. The minister prefers simple changes. We say “We will take refuge in the church”, but the church has changed from compla­ cency to discontent. Only Jesus Christ is the same today and forever. He has stood by everyone - Abel, Abraham, Noah, Moses and all the prophets. Jesus is a “Today Christ”. We know very little about Heaven; but there will be a fullness of joy forever. Jesus loves us. Be confi­ dent! God is a God of the future. Our times are in His hands. Trust Him. He transcends all. b “Only Jesus Can Heal” was explained to five pre-school children before they left for the schoolroom with Mrs. John McCracken in charge. In a plastic bag were three articles: a cutting board, a coconut and a hammer. Rev. Tucker cracked the coconut with the hammer as it lay on the cutting board, the pieces were then replaced; but it remained broken. Lives, hit by the hammer of sin are broken. God sent Jesus to heal the world to make it right and whole again. When we are broken and unhappy only Jesus can heal our spirits. The choir, with Mrs. George Procter, organ accompanist, sang “Saviour, like a Shepherd lead Us.” The offertory stewards were Carol Hopper and Melville Math­ ers. At the conclusion of the service Rev. Tucker reminded everyone of the “Open House” at their resi­ dence during the afternoon and evening. He also expressed his and Mrs. Tucker’s gratitude to Mrs. Mabel Wheeler who welcomed the couple to reside in her home since their arrival in Canada from Wales in July; he also tendered appreciation for recent assistance given to them by members of the two congregations in moving and garden operations. The Benediction concluded the service. Belgrave UCW hosts fall rally Knox United Church Women, Belgrave, held their General Meet­ ing Thursday, September 28.

The members repeated the 4H pledge, followed by the roll call which was “What are the five senses and what part of the body is involved with each?” The brain is involved in all five senses. Mem­ bers decided on the name “Safety Energizers” for their club. They learned about protecting the senses in the following ways. By wearing head protection shows that one has brains and wants to keep them. Three basic types of eye protection are sun glasses, goggles and welding shield. Hear­ ing loss is not a part of growing old. It is caused by exposure to higher than average noise levels. Once the hearing is damaged, it never recovers. Leather or fabric gloves must never be worn when handling chemicals. Safety footwear is es­ sential for all types of farm work including mowing the lawn. Chem­ ical cartridge respirators should be used when spraying and handling chemicals. All safety equipment must be C.S.A. approved.
