From the Minister's Study God's rules cannot be broken or changed By Pastor Warner Brussels Mennonite Fellowship A week ago I was with a friend to pick up some seedlings from a reforestry station in the south of the province. Interestingly we started out with a possible selection of up to five varieties. By the time we had arrived and identified the location of where these were to be planted there were only two varieties available to us. We lived too far north for three of the selections. We had a dream of certain types and due to being in the wrong place we were penalized and did not receive all that was available. Well, so it is with God's blessings. So often we have a dream of what we would liked to receive from God and yet only a portion is received and we feel penalized. It was the reforestry station manager's signature that gave final approval of what we could take with us. So it is with God. There truly is Fifty years to the day, Donna and Mel Craig celebrated 50 years of marriage on Saturday, May 1 with a family dinner at Bluevale United Church, followed by a gathering of longtime friends at the Bluevale Community Hall. During the evening the celebrants and guests were entertained by musical numbers, family carica- tures and a humourous skit, all per- formed by their daughters and grandchildren. Guests attended form Waterloo, Auburn, Harriston, Cambridge, Goderich and Plat- tsville.

The Bible teaches that all judgement has been given over to the son of God. It is His signature that gives final approval to enjoying all of God's blessings, especially that of eternal life. I had lived just a few miles from the reforestry station for 8 1/2 years before moving to Brussels. I had known many of those who had worked there in the past, but on this visit I knew no one and was not able to work a deal for my friend to receive the other varieties. (He may not have wanted me to even if I could.) We may think we can work behind God's back to sneak a deal for us concerning God's blessings and eternal life, but you just do not cut the corners like that with God. The rules do not bend nor do the requirements for entrance. God's rules concerning how to ing ceremony on May 1, 1943 in Auburn at the United Church manse. Rev. Rose conducted the ceremony. Attendants were the bride's sister, Mary Armstrong and the groom's brother Arnold Craig. • Following the ceremony a wed- ding lunch was held at the bride's home after which the newlyweds departed by train from Blyth to Toronto for their wedding night, then went on to Niagara Falls the next day. The couple resided in London for two years as Mr. Craig was in the armed forces there. In 1945 he became a partner in Craig's Sawmill with his father Jim and the family moved to Auburn. In 1952 they moved to the second line of Morris Township where they VERA SCOULLER Vera Scouller of Brussels died suddenly on Tuesday, May 4, 1993.

"There's a Green Hill Far Away" was sung. Mrs. Nicholson read a poem "A Friend is a Gift of God". Mrs. Margaret Siertsema read scripture from John. Mrs. Ivy Cloakey led in prayer. A memorial was held in memory of late member Mrs. Margaret Dunbar. The treasurer's and secretary's The Huron County District Health Council Steering Committee has announced dates for five public hearings to be scheduled in late May and early June throughout Huron County. The meetings are designed to invite public input in a combination of informal and-formal ways, according to Paul Carroll, Steering Committee Chair. Interested persons will be able to contribute simply through their presence at one of these meetings and participating in the informal discussion groups that will be organized as part of the agenda. For those who wish to have more formal input, the opportunity to present letters or comprehensive enter eternal life can not be broken nor changed. If they were change- able He would no longer be God. But even as the manager of the reforestry station could not waive the rules of trees available, neither can the Manager of Heaven waive the rules of entrance to heaven. The reforestry station manager could have overlooked our location and allowed us to receive all five varieties. The Manager of Heaven does exactly that. He overlooks where we have come from and the sins we have committed and sees the signature of Jesus upon our lives and permits us to enter. He has not waived the rules, but has overlooked the condition that restricts our entrance. • The station manager would then be responsible for his actions and must answer for releasing trees not allowed to be received. So must the Manager of Heaven answer for allowing us into heaven and receiving what we do not deserve. farmed for 22 years. They retired in 1974 to Bluevale where they still reside. Children are: Kathleen (Mrs. Frank) Workman, Grey Twp.; Mary (Mrs. Larry) Martin, Barn- berg; Patsy (Mrs. Don) Nolan, Walton and Margaret (Mrs. John) Carswell, Teeswater. The Craigs also have 13 grandchildren. Other anniversary highlights included a dinner party in their honour on Friday, April 23, hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Garniss, Wingham. The Craigs were also honoured at the April 26 meeting of the Bluevale Seniors.

A memorial service will take place in the summer in Brussels. Arrangements were entrusted to Bett's Funeral Home in Brussels. In remembrance, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. reports were given and roll call was answered with a woman of the Bible. Twenty-eight sick and shut-ins visited were recorded. A card was signed for Mrs. Lottie Scott, who had been in hospital. Everyone read story or poem with a Mother's Day or Springtime theme. Mrs. Nicholson closed with a poem on "Home". Following the meeting lunch was served by the hostess. briefs will also be available. Invitations have been extended throughout the healthcare provider network and to all local governments to submit opinions and comments to the steering committee. It is also permissible to file letters or briefs by telephone, fax, or by mail. A special effort is being made to seek opinions from ordinary consumers of the healthcare system.

But the Manager of Heaven, Jesus, has lost His life for us. The question to ask then is this. Is the signature of Jesus upon your life so that you will indeed receive all what God offers?
