Many children. because of not being in- struct rd think a missionary is someone for whom an offer- ing is taken up. Mr. Butler told of his sister Miss Betty flatlet' who eight years ago decided to give up all she had, and go to spend the rest of her life in Haiti as a missionary. When Miss Butler arrived in Haiti she had to learn the language. She had to learn to eat different foods, and to adjust to a hot climate. Early this year the hydro was off from 8 to .10 hours a day due to lack of water. until lately they have rains. Miss Butler teaches school in Port au Prince in Haiti. There are not public schools where children' have to go. Thus they are often unruly. Miss Butler also teaches pro- fessional people English. us- ing the Bible as the text book. WI sponsors • free swimming The Lucan Women's in- stitute is pleased to invite all children of Lucan to take part in a free swim on opening day of the Lucan Pool June 27 from I :30 to 4 p.m. We understand that only a certain number are allowed al one titne so hope the waiting won't be too long. She is not allowed to charge for this. until she becomes a Haitian. There is also a clinic • where Miss Butler works. Thus a missionary is one who carries God's message to • the world. Using two color TVs loaned by Wraith Fami- ly Hardware, the church was blessed in seeing a videotape from Rev. Ray Brew•eter in Haiti. Mrs. Becky Brewster said she counted it .a privilege to serve the Lord in Haiti. Their sons Steve and Nathan are with them.
