Van Geest Hwy. 4, Biyth 523-9233 Wheelchair accessible THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1998. PAGE 11. From the Minister's Study Warning — Easter virus going out Rev. Stephen Huntley Blyth United Church I received the following through the internee: Be on the alert for symptoms of HOPE, PEACE, JOY and LOVE. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to this virus and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world. Here are some signs and symptoms of the Easter Virus: 1. A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences. 2. An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment. 3. A loss of interest in judging other people. 4. A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others. 5. A loss of interest in conflict. 6. A loss of the ability worry. (This is a very serious symptom). 7. Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation. 8. Frequent attacks of smiling. 9. An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen. 10. An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it. I was shocked and alarmed but there were no instructions on how to stop downloading this into our system. Please send this warning out to all your friends. This virus can and has affected many systems. Some systems have been completely cleaned out because of it. Hoping this message comes too late.
