This being Conference Sunday, Rev. James Murray was away so the UCW took over the service. Gloria Wilbee started the service by giving the call to Worship. The Old Testament reading was read by Olene Dennis and Heidi McClure read the Gospel lesson. The choir sang, Stay with Us, then Gloria called the young worshippers forward. She had a little tricycle with her and asked for volunteers as she began to explain to them how they can understand God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. She gave one child a circle that represented the Son and he placed it on one of the back wheels. Another person put a circle representing the Father on the other back wheel. Then for the large front wheel the circle that stood for the Holy Spirit was put on. There are three different wheels on the tricycle, but yet it is a tricycle. So it is important to think of God in three different ways and not just one way, she said. - Gloria Wilbee then welcomed Marjory Humphries to the pulpit where she delivered her message called, 'Conquering Obstacles.' She defined obstacles as a hindrance or impediment. They can be mental, physical, psychological, personal or community, provincially, nationally or globally implemented. She said when dealing with obstacles people must maintain a positive attitude and be responsible for it. Attitude can make or break homelife, schools, churches and further afield. "We can't change our past or our people, but we can change our attitude to a positive approach to our ordeals," she said. At least ten per cent of life is Grey banks with CIBC Grey Twp. council held its regular meeting on May 20 and passed a bylaw authorizing a banking arrangement agreement with the CIBC, Brussels. A motion to purchase a new pickup truck was defeated as council decided that it was not appropriate to purchase a new truck with the ongoing discussions pertaining to restructuring and amalgamation. A letter from the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Works Program was reviewed which indicted that Grey Twp. will receive $10,475. Council was advised of a special textile collection from the Bluewater Recycling Association which will occur during the regular collection on May 29. what happens and 90 per cent is how people react to it. She wanted everyone to use their imaginations and pretend that the jar she held represented the world. The world is made up of two-thirds water, she said as she poured water into the jar. She then said she would discuss a few obstacles that people face for obtaining world peace and ask if solutions could be found. The first obstacle is war. She put some red colour into the jar. Obstacle two was hunger, poverty, homelessness, disease and ignorance. The colours green and yellow represented these and she put them into the jar. Number three was discrimination and prejudice which was represented by iodine. Fear was the last obstacle and red/black was thrown into the jar. She pointed out what a sad looking world it was beginning to look. She then suggested some solutions such as help from the government - so she threw in a red, blue and green book policy, and it didn't seem to help much. She suggested perhaps money would Swat the bug Through the efforts of Bruce Armstrong's students at F.E. Madill and McNeil's Auto Body, a unique fundraiser will be attracting attention at the Brussels 125th Homecoming celebrations in August. For a small fee people will have the chance to ’Swat the Bug or more aptly, slug it, using a sledgehammer. The car is a bare shell that the students sanded and painted before installing a moveable axle underneath. Don McNeil, pictured, says the fundraiser will be part of the classic car show on Saturday, Aug. 2. Until then it will be displayed throughout the area to advertise homecoming. help but after putting in some change it didn't do anything either. What about education? Could it clear up the ignorance in the world. In went a newspaper and a book. No change. Castor oil was put in for medicine, and rice, com and wheat went in for food. All the obstacles were still there. Then she held up another jar. She said let this represent Jesus coming into everyone's lives, their world, and she poured bleach into the world jar and it all became clean and clear. He alone can make the obstacle disappear. She said to put JOY into life. J is for Jesus, O is for others and Y is for yourself. "Use the talents God gave us and do the best with what we have." She said just think of snowflakes, one of nature's most fragile and delicate things, but just look what they can do when they stick together. She said "Give yourself a love TAP, T - Target a need, A - ask God for wisdom and P - proceed to meet that need. We can conquer and overcome the obstacles with Jesus' help."

More And Better Jobs Our tax relief will leave more money in your pocket. That will stimulate the economy, creating more and better jobs - jobs that will last. Smaller Government Step by step, we'll overhaul government operations, saving about $15 billion a year. Big Government Over the past 25 years, the Liberals and Tories have increased government spending by 624%. Lower Taxes, After A Balanced Budget Reform will balance the federal budget by 1999. Then, we’ll give every single Canadian tax relief - $2,000 per family by the year 2000. Cut Health Care Funding By 40% The Chretien government has cut social transfers, including health by more than 40% since they took office in 1993. Rights For Criminals The Liberals and Tories continue to support a justice system that puts the rights of criminals ahead of the rights of victims and law- abiding citizens. Distinct Society Both Jean Chretien and Jean Charest support special status for the province of Quebec. Gold-plated MP Pensions Liberal and Tory MPs continue to draw millions from their lucrative pension plan, while ordinary Canadians will only get $8.800/yr. in CPP benefits. For example Jean Charest will receive $4.3 million when he retires (and lives to age 75). AND... THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE ACCOUNTABILITY! History tells us that no platform or policy is worth the paper it is written on if its author can not be held accountable for a promise made. Blake, Krista Shortreed, Lindsay McNichol, Andrea Vander Veen, Katie Williamson, Kelsey Bennewies and Ashley Haley. Congratulations and good luck. The other grades will have a play day next Friday. The Early Year class worked on the letter B. They had a ball blowing beautiful, big bubbles and making butterflies. The whole school participated in bicycle safety by watching a video and talking about it with Mrs. Crocker. $4 Billion More To Health Our overhaul of government operations will make it possible to spend where it counts - $4 billion more each year on health and education. Victims' Rights Reform will shift that balance from the rights of criminals like Clifford Olson to the rights of victims and law-abiding citizens like you. Equality Of All Provinces We'll give more power to all provinces. Including Quebec, through decentralization and a greater emphasis on local control. MP Pension Reform 50 Reform MPs have opted out of the program, until it is brought into line with private sector plans. Deborah Grey opted out and it cost her $1.4 million in pension. We would allow Canadians to invest in a personal CPP and guarantee all existing benefits. A multitude of plant & nursery stock to choose from...
