The dinner has become an annual event, raising money for the church. From the Minister’s Study God loves us equally Special guests visit Day Centre BY REV. CAMERON MCMILLAN, BRUSSELS AND ETHEL UNITED CHURCHES What kind of a deal do you want? Usually, you want to get the deal that suits you the best. If you are buying, you want to get something at a real low price. If you are sell­ ing, you want to get the highest price you can get. Once, two of Jesus' disciples, James and John, tried to strike a deal with Jesus. They asked him to give them a very special favour. They wanted the top positions of honour in his heavenly kingdom. They had been two of Jesus' clos­ est friends, his best supporters dur­ ing three years of ministry. Now that he was about to die and go to heaven, they thought that they should have the top positions of power and authority when Jesus began his heavenly power and rule over all people. When a person has been especially good and loyal, Women's Day at Royal Winter Fair There s something new for women at the Royal Winter Fair this year. Women's Day! Over the years various groups have been honoured, but never women. As the only women's organization on the Royal Winter Fair, Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario pointed this out, and was honoured to be asked to host the first ever Women's Day at the Royal on Thursday, November 7. The day starts with lunch at Cafe Royale, the exclusive dining room at the Royal. The key-note speaker will be Mavis Wilson, the former Minister responsible for Women's Issues. A farmer's wife from Shel­ burn, she knows first hand the issues and concerns of rural women. So naturally her topic will be "Issues facing Women in the 90’s". Keeping with the rural theme, and on an upbeat note, Mavis Wil­ son will be followed by a fashion show, featuring casual wear from Casual Way, Younge Street in Toronto. These clothes will feature mainly woollen articles with a little cotton and silk, suitable for women in rural Ontario. An opportunity will be given for the women to see the displays at lon't they deserve a special reward and favour? Jesus did not grant his friends their request. He said that such a high power was not his to grant. He said that relationships among Christians were to be quite differ­ ent from those seen in the secular world. In governments, and in our Cana­ dian society, we are used to seeing one person acting as the boss and telling others what they have to do. The boss gives orders and we must obey them. The government says that we must pay our taxes and we do it. Jesus said that all Christians are of equal value and rank in the sight of God. God loves us all the same and treats us all equally. If we want to be thought of as the first, or best kind of Christian, we must be pre­ pared to stay at the back of the line, to act as a servant, a helper, a sup­ porter of other people. the Royal, including the Country Crafts Display, with Women's Institute members demonstrating crafts done by rural women. The day concludes with seats for Opening night at the Horse Show. A fitting end for the first ever Women's Day at the Royal. Federated Women's Institutes of Ontario are very pleased and hon­ oured to be asked to host Women's Day, right from when Women's Institutes were started, over 90 years ago. They have also promot­ ed, encouraged and provided edu­ cational opportunities, for farm and rural women, as well as an opportu­ nity for dealing with all the issues that affect life in rural Ontario.

NOM 1H0 519-523-4311 That was how Jesus lives his life. He did not live on earth demanding that he be treated like a king. He did not insist that everyone bow down before him, supply him with all kinds of luxuries, give him all sorts of gifts. Whenever Jesus saw someone in need, he helped them out. He expects us to live our lives that way, too. Don't get too concerned about your status, where you stand in the hierarchy of God's heavenly king­ dom. God loves us all equally and will see that we each receive our just reward. Don't push your way forward to the front of the line. Relax. Stand in the background. Look around you. See who is hurt­ ing and in need of help. Go over and help them. That is how Jesus lived his life. That is how Jesus expects us to live our Christian lives.

We have two new ones that we hope will become regular features. Interlink, is a program sponsored by the Canadian Mental Health Association that matches elemen­ tary school children with older adults. These two groups exchange monthly letters and sing similar $ongs. They get together once in December to meet and exchange greetings. In the spring, they meet again. This time, both groups form a choir and the general public is invited to listen. Interlink enters week four and so far it's been very successful. The second program started the beginning of October. Once a month, the Huron County Health Unit will visit and present a topic related to seniors. Connie Kuc is the public health nurse who facili­ tates these presentations. Her first discussion dealt with the flu shot and benefits derived from its use. We look forward to this exchange of information in the upcoming months. There have been several guests visit us at the Day Centre. They include: Michelle Porter from the Centre for Activity and Aging-Lon- ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA Rev. E.
