With such short notice that
school was to start last Friday,
about half of the children returned
to Walton PS. One of the young
students told the teacher that it felt
good to be back at school. The
teachers all agreed with this, but
they also still have grave concerns

Holes were dug, cement was
poured and pipes connected to add
more colourful playground on
Saturday at the Walton school as

it together. The kids are sure to
want longer recesses now.

visits
Royal
When Geoff Banks got an
invitation to go to the Royal Winter
Fair with Doug Fraser this past
Thursday, he didn't have to be
asked twice. There was so much to
see, he said when he got home.
Doug has been there quite a few
times and he said that it was great
taking his young friend along. They
really enjoyed the RCMP musical
ride. They heard bag pipes that
were played by the Toronto Police
marching pipe band.
Geoff, who is interested in cattle,
was impressed by the one breed in
particular. They are the Belgian
Blue, Quebec cattle, and he
couldn't get over the muscle in their
hind quarters.
There were dog races, horse
shows, butter sculpturing - you
name it. Geoff said that he would
gladly go again next year.

Doug and Marj Fraser are

Rev. Murray's sermon was
' called, "The Devotion of Boaz". He
told the rest of the story of Ruth
and how Boaz was the hero, so to
speak. He is the redeemer, the
saviour of Naomi and Ruth. The
story of Boaz can teach a lot about
the meaning of salvation and
redemption.
Naomi and Ruth were good
people who were caught in a bad
situation. Through no fault of their
own, they were placed on the
margins of society, denied access to
their own land, and denied a chance
to make a living. They were not
evil, or sinners, yet they stood in
need of salvation. Murray asked
"What does it mean to be a sinner?"
To be a sinner means being outside
the law, or on the wrong side of a
regulation. It means falling short of
targets or goals.
It doesn't always mean being evil
or wicked, he said. "For instance, if
you are in violation of the building

code, you are technically a sinner.
But this does not make you evil."
Sometimes social customs and
circumstance puts people on the
wrong side of the line. Sometimes
social morals make sinners out of
people who are simply doing what
society asks of them. There are
times when people are
characterized as evil for simply
being what God made them to be.
Redemption is the kind of love
Boaz used to save Ruth and Naomi
from poverty and to restore them to
their rightful place in society. "It is
the redeeming love which Jesus
offers us, which can make our lives
better and more complete."
