Kings Kids, then Sanctuary From the Storm. Rev. C.J. Williams spoke about faith, hope, and chari- ty, from 1 Corinthians 3:1 and 11 Kings 4:8-10. In God's deal- ings with us, there are certain times God allows to happen to those who walk with the God. Just as this woman in 11 Kings talked over with her husband on how to provide for Elisha, so women need to talk over the house budget with their husbands. Because this woman's love was in a right attitude, God blessed her and her husband. Sunday evening Ltev. C.J. Williams spoke on the impor- tance of choice. Acts 15:40; and Luke 9:51, speak of choos- ing, first a man, second a Centre way. Jesus could have made a decision not to go to Jerusalem, but to do His F'ather's will was His definite obedient direction. In Mark 10:32-34 Jesus tells His disciples of His coming death and resurrection. as Ile was going to Jerusalem. Go- ing to Jerusalem to obey Ills F'ather's will, to give His life. was Jesus' choice. Because we love God we want to be in the centre of His will. We face circumstances that make it very difficult to make choices. Genesis 13 tell of a choice Abram and Lot had to make for their living. Lot chose the profitable land which dragged him down spiritually. • March 5, Saturday, 11 Huntley Street will be on CKNX from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 27, The Children's Church Kids present an • Easter Play, at 7:15 p.m., at the Lucan Revival Centre.

Anglers say winning fishing rights battle By Bill McNutt In recent news release the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters says they have made a significant step in their battle with the Ministry of Natural Resources over In- dian fishing . rights. The Honourable Alan Pope has promised that provincial and regional advisory com- mittees would be established to improve the agreement on Indian fishing rights. The OFAH is to be represented on these commit- tees, but what effect they will have- remains to be seen. Doug Ogston, °FAH presi- dent admits, "Our advice could be ignored, but at least it must be heard." The OFAH concerns are mostly that the current agree- ment recently signed, gives native people exclusive rights to some waters and the right to take any number of fish, by any means, at any time, in nearly all waters in the province. The OFAH officials will continue to press both the federal and provincial governments to change this agreement. In a preliminary report from the -Ministry of Natural Resources we find that deer hunters were not as suc- cessful in Huron County this year as last. Scout service at Cromarty By MRS. ROBERT LAING Cromarty Sunday morning, 1st Cromarty Cubs, Scouts and Beavers, and Dublin Brownies and their leaders paraded into Ilihhert United Church, Staffa and occupied the front pews. The service opened with the singing of 0 Canada. 1, The Rev. W. Fearn welcom- ed the many guests and parents as well as the regular congregation and spoke brief- ly on the mottos of each group. Ile noted the meanings of the colours of,the Brownie and Beaver uniforms, and stressed the need to take pro- per care of our land and water. Each group repeated its Promises and the Beavers sang The Beaver Song. Cubs Kip Daynard and John Wilkin- son received the offering, followed by the reading of Luke 2; 41-52 by Cory Stoneman, of the Scout Troop. Several Hymns were sung including Lord, I Love to Stamp and Shout, God of Earth and Planets, and It's a Small World. Gwen Christie was organist for the service In 1981, 839 hunters took 150 whitetails for a 17.9 percent success rate. The 1982 season saw 986 participants crop on- ly 135 of these elusive game animals. Thats down to only 13.6 percent. Of those 135 animals few were taken in the southern areas. Only approx- imately 13 were checked at the Centralia check station. The reason given for this by one conservation officer was the heavy cover of Ilay and parts of Stephen townships, making them more difficult to hunt. It was also thought that the weather (cold and rain for those that remember) was the reason for the decline. Of the deer taken 54 were less than a year old which in- dicates a very healthy herd. There are other indications that most big bucks in our area meet natural or acciden- tal deaths. One of these is the high number of road kills in our area especially large bucks. It seems they have no problems eluding the hunters (although some nice bucks are taken) but are not that smart on the highways. The 1982 hunt went smoothly from a legal stand- point. There were no game law charges laid. Only three trespass complaints were received and two of these were involving people retriev- ing deer which crossed pro- perty lines before falling dead. In these cases no charges were laid. News from Greenway By ANNE WALPER t,1ire and Mildred Hancock. Corunna were Sunday visitors of Clarence and Geraldine Stone.

World Prayer Pay, friday The order of service on the second Sunday in Lent was Morning Prayer at Holy Trinity Anglican Church. As the congregatjon gathered for worship they were greeted by Mrs. Florence Hodgins and Mrs. Kay Haggar. Penny Hodgins shared her gift of music by accompanying herself on the guitar and sing- ing several lovely contem- porary songs of praise. Reader of the Old Testament lesson was Marion Hodgins and reader of the New Testa- ment lesson was Andy Van Geel. Under the leadership of organist and choirmistress, Beaulah Hardy, the Jr. choir sang as their anthem, "God is Love." Rev. Pocock spoke to the children on ways they could worship God, not just on Sun- day, but daily. There should be no set time or place to thank God for our many bless- ings - God is available and longs to listen to us at all times and in all places. The children, joyfully sang "Follow Me" and left for their Sunday School lessons. Rev. Pocock, in his message, reflected on the ap- pointed readings. The pro- mise made to Abraham, by God, was not fully met until he had been thoroughly tested and proved worthy. Paul in his letter to the Phillipians is warning the people that they must be worthy of being a Christian and show by their way of life, the life of Christ. Today, as Christians, by faith in Jesus Christ, we are called to bear witness to the promise given us by God. We are 'asked to take the same journey as Christ - the Way of the Cross. During the season of Lent we need to think about the pf'omises given us and weed out those things which are not God -like.

But eventually he realized that God wanted him to be a "good forgetter" and to treat her kindly. Following the story,, Barb took the children out for Junior Congregation Craft period. Mr. Brown continued his series on Paul's first letter to Timothy. In chapter 4. Paul explained to Timothy the responsibilities of a good pastor. Ile was to point oul and correct false teaching for his people at Ephesus. Still to- day there is a need for this, for false teachers abound in today's world. Christ Himself foretold that this would be the case in the days preceeding. I.earning for Lent begins Wednesday in the C.E. wing of the Church. "Choose Nutri- tion - It Pays", wit1 Home Economist.

As adults, we remember the teachers who taught us rather than the lessons they taught. Our ideal as teachers is to be so open to • Christ the Light of the World. that His light will shine out through us in our being, our actions and our. words. By means of a diagram, Mr. Clarke suggest that there are four rooms in the household of faith: Christian Doctrine, Christian ex- perience, Christian Nurture and Christian Outreach. Each of us makes our initial contact with the Christian Church as we enter into one of these rooms, but we need to learn to feel at home in each of them. Mr, Clarke then shared something of his own faith pilgrimage. Those present separated in- to smaller groups to share with one another a bit about their own experience in each of these "rooms".
