REMEMBRANCE DAY OBSERVANCES
The Rev. Tom Wilson, 8.A., MDiv. 887-9273
By Rev. Cathrine Campbell
Melville Presbyterian
We are people who like to cele-
brate.
In fact, when I checked the Blue
Mountain e-card site for this coming
week (Nov. 1-8) I found that Nov. I
is All Saints Day, Nov. 3 is Culture
Day in Japan and Sandwich Day,
Nov. 4 is King Tut Day, Nov. 6 is
Election Day in the U.S. and also
Saxophone Day, Nov. 7 is
Republican Elephant Day and Nov. 8
is Archangel Gabriel Day, Archangel
Michael Day, Punster Day and
Young Readers Day.
Quite an impressive social life
could be made out of the above as
you entertained your friends with
Egyptian sandwiches, while listen-
ing to a Saxophone recital, watching
U.S. election results and making
Puns to delight young readers as well
as celebrating the birthdays, on Nov.
2, of Graham, Kieran, Judi and
Hester in this village.
We have already celebrated
Halloween. The trick or treaters have
come and gone - pumpkins are now
pie material rather than lantern, and
the stores can completely unleash
their Christmas decorations. All
Hallows Eve has passed and tummy
aches have been the order of the day
in many homes.
While Halloween will have been
celebrated both by young children
(and some not so young) and store
owners for, (in fact this is the second
biggest retail event after Christmas
sales,) there will be little, if anything
done on Nov. 1. Yet for the church
this is the day with the most signifi-
cance, for it is All Saints Day, a day
for remembrance.
When we think of Saints we think
of those who are perfect, who are far
above anything we can be, but, in
actuality, while the Saints are special
they are also to be us.
This is not news to alarm you or to
cause worry fo,r Saints actually do
not come in one set pattern. They are
the people who have made a positive
difference in our lives and in the
lives of those who have gone before.
When you go to the Bible you find
People
attend
baptism
Amanda Marie Dolson infant
daughter of Traty (Mann) and David
Dotson, Waterloo was baptized
Sunday, Oct. 28 at Knox
Presbyterian Church, Waterloo with
Rev. Brooke Ashfield and Rev. Linda
Ashfield officiating.
The silver baptismal font used for
the baptism was the property of the
former Knox United Church,
Moncrieff, Grey Twp. It had served
as the baptismal font for two genera-
tions of the Mann family prior to the
closing of the church.
At the auction of the church prop-
erty in 1976, Mr. and Mrs. Archie
Mann purchased the silver font as a
family keepsake.
The late Mr. and Mrs. Mann who
fanned in the Moncrieff area for
years are the great-grandparents of
Amanda. She is the granddaughter of
Mrs. Mary Beth Mann, Waterloo and
the late William Mann, formerly of
RR1, Monkton as well as Mr. and
Mrs. Cameron Dolson of Erin.
Listowel resident Marion Roberts
attended the service and family din-
ner at the Dolson home. Also present
were the baby's aunt Kendra Mann
and her fiancé Ben Breen, Waterloo,
who are the godparents.
out who are the Saints that get a day
named after them.
They are: glorious, delightful
(Psalm 16;3), Just, faithful (Psalm
37:28); consecrated, sacrificial
(Psalm 50:5); holy (Psalm 89:5);
God fearing (Psalm 89:7); joyous
singers (Psalm 132:9); gathered
together in praise (Psalm 149.1, 5,
9); loved by God (Romans 1:7);
sanctified (1 Corinthians 1:2); part of
the community of Christians
(Philippians 1:1. Colossians 1:2).
This is by no means all of the list
but it gives you an idea that the
Saints are pretty special and yet they
do not have to jump through hoops
or do amazing things to be consid-
ered part of the company of God's
Saints.
Why should this be? The answer is
that the Saints first and foremost are
those who accept the gifts of God
and share them. Think for a moment
of those who have had a profound
impact` on your life, they were not
heads of states or potentates but a
grade-school teacher, a good friend, a
caring doctor, a curious child, a lov-
ing parent, we each have our own list
and on that list we will find the
Saints.
And these Saints sow the seeds for
the future harvest with gifts of care.
kindness and compassion. They give
much because they have been given
much.
And so we are in the position of
giving thanks to the Saints that have
preceded us and giving hope to the
Day
Saints that will follow us.
And where does that leave us? In
the position of being called to be part
of the Priesthood of All Believers
and in time be those for whom it is
sung:
For all ike Saints who from their
labours rest,
who thee by faith, before the world
confessed,
thy name 0 Jesus, be forever blest,
Hallelujah, hallelujah
And
From earth's wide bounds, form
ocean's farthest coast
through gates of pearl, streams in
the countless host
singing to Father, Son and Holy
Ghost.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
(William Walsham How (1823-
1897)
