CALL THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY'S TOLL FREE SMOKERS' HELPLINE 1-877-513-5333 THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 2004. PAGE 21. Road map, signs, Melville children's topic Last Sunday morning Eluned McNair greeted the congregation at Melville Presbyterian Church. With Mary Douma at the organ, Rev. Cathrine Campbell led the congregation in the Call to Worship and the hymn, Immortal Invisible God Only Wise, was sung by all. Psalm 8 was read responsively. After completing the singing of the children's hymn, One More Step Along the World I Go, the children gathered in the front pews for. their discussion with the minister. Rev. Campbell talked to them of travelling, and how a road map and road signs were essential to provide guidance to the traveller. She compared these travelling directions to verses found in the book of Proverbs and read a few examples to the children, explaining that these verses were written long ago but are still relevant to- day. "Proverbs can be thought of as the links of a chain to guide you through life", Rev. Campbell said, "It's not a chain that binds, but rather a lifeline for living. Study them carefully, a few at a time, and think deeply about what the words mean, and you will be given the gift of wisdom". With the assistance of reader Maurice Douma, the scripture readings- of Proverbs 8: 1 - 11; Romans 5: 1 - 5: and John 16: 12 - 15 were given by Rev. Campbell. The sermon was entitled, What Are You? Rev. Campbell told of travelling by shuttlebus to Calais to catch the hovercraft to Dover, and on this crowded bus a gallant old soldier had offered her his seat, him being on the way home from celebrating with two other veteran buddies. She told how she sat there with a feeling of total gratitude to these three and to all others who had landed and fought on those beaches she was travelling through; those soldiers who are commemorated on the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day Invasion by Allied forces. "Not to glorify war", said Rev. Campbell, ' "but to be thankful for the courage and sacrifice shown in that place that gave us all freedom and peace". Then Rev. Campbell stated this day was Trinity Sunday, a special day set aside to recognize the Holy Trinity in which Christians believe, of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. She explained that Christians are familiar with thinking of a single person 'who can be at the same time someone's mother, someone's daughter and someone's sister. "So it is with God, all-powerful, all-knowing, the source of all wisdom; at the same time the loving Son whose sacrifice set us all free from sin; and also the power of the Holy Spirit that leads us into making the right deciSions", Rev. Campbell explained. And she reinforced this by reading the definitions from the reference Living Faith. Rev. Campbell compared Donald Trump with Jean Vanier, two men both born into wealthy families both realizing their lifelong passions in different ways. Mr. Trump's activities are well publicized, but Jean Vanier's were less well known. A son of one of Canada's former Governor Generals, he spends his life working for the handicapped in L'Arc, one of the many homes he has developed for them throughout the world. Here all who come find peace, acceptance, encouragement. 'This proves that God is in us all and we are his creation, said Rev. Campbell. Collection was taken up by Bill Aitchison, Maurice Douma, Brian Armstrong and Jeff Cardiff. On June 15, the Melville Guild and WMS will be meeting at Jim and Dona Knight's cottage for a potluck dinner. On Saturday, June 26, a congregational fun day will be held at the golf course in Cranbrook, sponsored by Dave and Janet McCutcheon. Next Sunday the sacrament of Holy Communion will be celebrated at Melville Church. Melville Moments .... by Gerald Gibson 1922 - Reverend J.,P. McLeod The Session of Melville' Church desires to record its dissent to the action of the Village Council in granting a licence for the operation of a poolroom in our village: l.because public pool rooms have generally proved themselves a menace to the betterment of the communities in which they have been initiated, 2.because a large majority of the citizens of the village and surrounding country were satisfied to do without it, 3.because alarge number of these citizens were greatly opposed in granting the licence and no opportunity was given 16-i-hem to voice their objections, 4. because the licence was granted when both the Methodist and Presbyterian ministers were out of the village notwithstanding a promise, a promise which had been made that they would be given an opportunity to present their views to the Council. We believe however now that the licence has been granted that no good can result from continued obstruction but will lie upon our conscience and the conscience of our people. Blyth resident Govier were among the generous volunteers who gave up their locks to raise funds for Cops for Cancer. Govier raised $1,359 in pledges, while Josling's supporters contributed $615 to the cause. While organizers say they were hoping to beat last year's total of $5,800 even they were awed by this year's figure - a whopping $18,000 and still climbing.
