IAN DAVID MATHESON Ian David Matheson has completed his earthly journey with courage and dignity, and has been reunited with his parents, Hazel and Clarke Matheson and his dear sister Jean. His wish to be at home with his family was made possible by the devoted care of his beloved wife Pat and his sister-in-law . Evelyn Vesh. Pat, and his children Kim and Stephen Nelson, and David and Debbie Bertoncini are left to cherish Ian's life, his love and his achievements. Grandpa will be forever treasured in the hearts of The children's story was a speech by Sadie Tenpas on the topic of absolutely nothing. Referring to all the times when she had replied to questions with "Nothing". and that she had been told that a speech could not be about "nothing" , Sadie set out to prove them wrong with quotations and examples that proved her point in an expressive and entertaining man- ner. Rev. Campbell presented the scripture lesson of Leviticus 19: 1 - 4, 9 - 18; Acts 11: I - 18; John 13: 31 - 35 assisted by reader Jeanne Kirkby. The sermon, How Can You Tell, was about the fact • that life isn't always easy. and when people think they have things going smoothly, something always crops up to present new problems. Often they grandchildren Clair, Jeffrey and Grace. Ian also leaves his older brother Murray and his wife Karen. Ian's sense of humour, loyalty and sound advice will be missed by his extended family, his friends and colleagues at CIBC and Canada Savings Bonds, his Knox Church family, and his Kiwanis. Jaycee and Rotary Club friends. A celebration of Ian's life will he held on Saturday, May 15, 1:30 p.m. at Knox Presbyterian Church, 4156 Sheppard Ave. E., Agincourt. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or Knox Presbyterian Church. Agincourt, would be greatly appreciated. get too tied up in the questions to readily see the answers. Rev. Campbell told, as an example, of a little boy in Grade I, whose father had been called in to see the teacher because the little boy had been drawing square pumpkins. What could be causing this serious difficulty and how could it be corrected? Wisely, the father asked his son -about the pictures, and the little boy replied that everyone else was making round pumpkins, and he just wanted to make his to be dif- ferent. Referring to the scripture lesson of Acts 11, Rev. Campbell said-that Peter had been called up to explain his actions to members of the early church, because he was spending time with Gentiles and eating food that was not proper by Jewish laws. Peter told them of his vision, and how God had commanded him to carry the message of salvation to all who would hear, with no barriers and no boundaries. "God cares deeply for all of creation," said Rev. Campbell, "So let all humans live in harmony. Love .your neighbour as yourself. But how do we love the unlovable? It is do- able as Peter's vision calls us to understand that nothing is impure. People are to accept others for what they are and not what we would wish them to be. In the words of Christ, love one another as I have loved you". The offering was taken up by Doug McArter, Frank Schimanski, Maurice Douma and Bill King. Shannon Scott will tell about her travels in Southeast Asia as the guest speaker at the WMS and Melville Guild meeting on Tuesday, May 18. At the closing of the service, the Sunday school children distributed Mother's Day gifts crafted during their lessons to all the women in the congregation. The sympathy of the congregation is sent to the recently bereaved family of Ian Matheson. BUY? SELL? TRY CLASSIFIED Obituaries Business Director
