Morning Star Lodge welcomes Rebekah pres.
The regular meeting of Morning
Star Rebekah Lodge took place
with Noble Grand Gertie
Kellington presiding on March 23.
The president of the Rebekah
Assembly of Ontario 1.0.0.F. was
the honoured guest at this meeting.
Prior to the meeting and
accompanied by District Deputy
President Joan Bernard and Noble
The regular meeting of the
Brussels U.C.W. was held on
March 3 with Audrey Cardiff
presiding. The minutes were read
and adopted. The treasurer's report
was given by Isabelle Wheeler.
Members were urged to remem-
ber their EMA tapes, stamps and
Campbell soup labels.
It was decided to serve a dinner
on June 13 from 4 - 6 o'clock.
Gertie Kellington and Betty
Graber will attend the annual
meeting in Sarnia on March 29-30.
Pastor Tom Warner preached on
the topic of "Armoured for Living"
on Sunday, March 28. Ephesians 6:
10-20 was the main passage of
scripture.
The youth group had a successful
evening on March 27 when they
put on a Coffee House with about
120 in attendance. The youth from
the church provided much of the
Over 40 students from Huron
County who attend London District
Christian School will now earn
credits for religious studies.
The London Christian High
School is a member of the Ontario
. Alliance of Christian Schools
which has been fighting for this
recognition for 12 years.
Roman Catholic Separate
Schools have issued credits for reli-
gious instruction since 1978.
In a press release from the
Alliance, it was stated "Since inde-
pendent Christian high schools are
distinct from the public system in
the same way as the separate
schools, Alliance officials felt they
were equally entitled to issue cred-
its towards the Ontario Ministry of
Education diploma."
Wednesday, April 21 is the
Wingham Voice for Life's 19th
annual banquet at the Wingham
Presbyterian Church. Dinner starts
at 7 p.m. and the cost is $10 per
person.
Guest is Jacki Jeffs, who will
inform on abortion changes now
taking place in Ontario.
Members were informed that
under current guidelines approved
by Premier Harcourt's NDP
government, British Columbia
public school counsellors, school
nurses and teachers may freely
refer students to abortion agencies.
Furthermore, parents of such
students need not be informed or
consulted beforehand. The message
was delivered from Minister of
Education, Anita Hagen to Lila
Standford, president of British
Columbia Teachers for Life and a
member of Advocates for
Responsible Counselling (ARC).
ARC asked Hagen for yes-or-no
answers to these two questions: (1)
Is there any law or ministry
directive which would prevent a
Grand Gertie Kellington, the
president visited with sick and
shut-in members of our order.
A pot luck dinner was served in
the Lodge rooms at 5 p.m.
There was a large attendance at
the meeting. Guests were present
from Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth
and Ilderton. The president was
accompanied by Sandy Rhame
The U.C.W. will host a meeting
for the Health Council in Huron the
last week in March.
Kathy Workman was in charge of
the worship. She took for her topic
"The Power of Image". In a video
we were to watch for the Religious
Secular and American Images.
There were images of violence,
history, peace and terror. Not all
advertising is good. Many people
feel "Might is Right."
For a change of pace, Kathy
program. Ken Horst also
performed.
There will not be a regular
Venture Club meeting this
Thursday but the group will enjoy a
swimming outing at Vanastra on
April 3.
Next Sunday will be the Spring
"guess who is coming for lunch
event."
Consequently, the principals of
the seven Christian high school in
Ontario requested equality. The
Ministry of Education refused and
subsequently, Alliance took court
action for the schools.
The Alliance requested approval
of its religious studies program on a
non-guideline credit status and a
declaration that the MOE policies
on educaiton about religion in the
public schools do not apply to pri-
vate schools.
This final request refers to the
Ministry's court decision to limit
religion in the public schools.
Ministry approval means two
courses in religious studies offered
at the grade 9 and 10 levels will be
applicable to the Ontario Secondary
School Diploma.
public school counsellor, teacher or
school nurse from using his/her
position to advocate abortion to a
school student, or refer her to an
abortion agency? (2) If such
advocac$i or referrals are permitted
is there any law or ministry
directive which would determine
whether or not the students' parent
is informed or consulted before
such advocacy of abortion or
referral to an abortion agency is
made?
In her letter dated Sept.23/92
Anita Hagen responded, "The short
answer to your two questions is
no."

Spring poem
roll call
answer
The W.M.S. held their meeting
Monday morning at the home of
Mrs. Freda Scott. Mrs. Garner
Nicholson opened with a call to
worship and a hymn was read in
unison. Mrs. Ivy Cloakey read the
scripture and Mrs. Lottie Scott led
in prayer.
The roll call was answered by a
poem on spring. The secretary's
report was given by Mrs. Margaret
Siertsema and Mrs. Cloakey gave
the financial report.
Mrs. Nicholson read a poem,
"Eight Days Later" and then read
some letters by two missionaries
sent to the Glad Tidings, one who
works in Africa and one from Asia;
telling of their troubles and joys the
work brings.
Another hymn was read and Mrs.
Nicholson closed with prayer and
the hostess served lunch.
Pastor
discusses
temptations
"Have you ever been tempted to
defy God; to do your own thing and
then challenge God to do His
worst?" asked Pastor Carne.
The scripture reading for Auburn
Missionary Church on March 26
was taken from Hebrews 12: 18-29.
One is either summoned to
Mount Sinai to the God of the law
or to Mount Zion, the God of love.
It's only human nature to think one
will miss judgement but only if he
has received Jesus as his saviour
will he go directly to Mount Zion.
One must be sure that if God
speaks to him that he does not
refuse Him by not responding to
the call.
If one is not serving God, he is
not worshipping God. If one is
doing God's will, he is a living
sacrifice to God, his selfishness is
lost as he serves God and others.
Special music was provided by
Doran Rolston, accompanied by
Eric Campbell. Gabrielle Boettcher
played a beautiful offeratory on the
organ.
There will be a 10:30 a.m.
service on Good Friday.
The Kubassek Gospel Quartet
will take the entire Easter morning
service.
