THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 2004. Coulteses greet at service Greeters at Melville Presbyterian Church Sunday morning, members were Jack and Liz Coultes. Organist was Crystal McLellan. Rev. Cathrine Campbell led the responsive reading of Psalm 63: 1-8. The children gathered at the front of the church to hear Rev. Campbell's story. She passed around a wallet and had various volunteers describe the contents of cards, coins, money and identification. Then Rev. Campbell told them that this was her wallet which she had lost at a restaurant in Montreal during her recent trip there. She described the really awful feelings of isolation and helplessness that swept over her as she first realized that her wallet was missing. Fortunately she was able to make her way back to Brussels where a few days later she received a telephone call from a stranger who told her he had found her wallet and was willing to send it back to her. "It just goes to show you that there are good people in the world," said Rev. Campbell, "and we all make choices, some easy and some hard. A stranger made the best choice and went out of his way to return this wallet, thus showing that he was a man who would look out for others, just as Jesus told us to do". Scripture lesson was Isaiah 55: 1 - 13; I Corinthians 10: 1 - 13; and Luke 13: 1 - 9, read with the assistance of Tammy King. The sermon, Do Something, was about the suffering described in the scripture lesson where Pilate punished some people for the crime of blasphemy; but also the suffering and distress caused when a tower collapsed on a number of unfortunate people. "There are natural evils and man-made evils," Rev. Campbell said. She focused her discussion on the train bombings which occurred last week in Madrid Spain. When such things happen, the silent reaction is one of thankfulness that it happened elsewhere, and not here, Rev. Campbell said. But the question that the people in Spain are asking is "Why? Why me?" Some would believe that there is a direct co-relation between suffering and the sins of those afflicted. But Rev. Campbell says that it is not so. And the proof of this is the fact that Jesus himself suffered at the hands of evildoers, and he was innocent. And Jesus showed by his care and attitude toward the weak and the suffering that he did not blame them for their condition. "DO-not -assume that suffering is a punishment," Rev. Campbell said, "We are to hear, to repent and to live truly and fully in his love with faith, hope and thanksgiving. And in repenting that is to turn away from wrong things and turn toward the truth and life".

Afternoon Bible study is at 2 p.m Thursday hosted by Helen Elliott, and confirmation class on Thursday evening at 7:30 p.m. The sympathy of the congregation goes out to Mery Schneider and the family of Lois Schneider in their bereavement. The flowers on the communion table were in loving memory of Bill Shortreed by his family. The flowers in the sanctuary were in loving memory of Mrs. Ethel Sutton by her husband Alf Sutton. The reporter extends apologies for having this information incorrect last week. Did You Know ... Melville Moments by Gerald Gibson (continued from last week) Dr. Ferguson: They then conferred with Mr. Low about the matter and he acknowledged that he had shown a temper and used language with reference to the said matter which was very wrong and that he was very sorry for these things. He now had no hard feelings against Mr. Cameron but he could not satisfy himself because he knew that Mr. Cameron had deceived him and still believed that the horse was falsely represented to him. He then saw Mr. Cameron and reasoned with him and advised him to drop the whole matter, but Mr. Cameron was not willing to do so. The two elders were instructed by the session to ask Messers. Cameron and Low to appear before the session in the manse. At the session meeting both parties agreed to accept the advice of the session, drop the whole matter and be reconciled to one another. The case was dismissed.
