Church Neva;
At St. Thomas Anglican
Church Rev. Greg Smith
conducted the service on
Sunday. The sermon was
taken from the Epistle of St.
Paul and entitled "The law
bound Nation". The minister
explained that the law is not
the answer, law protects
lives, but does not save the
soul.
In the children's time, a
story of a prosperous farmer
sowing seeds and what he
accomplished was compared
to little children growing up
in love, peace, kindness and
fidelity. The 1st scripture
Lesson was read by Kenny
Beatson and 2nd by Mrs.
Percy Hodgins.
Sunday September 13 was
the second anniversary for
the Granton Community
Bible Church. In his message
entitled "On the Threshold"
Pastor Glen Fretz em-
phasized that our capacity to
receive blessings from God
is limited only by our lack of
faith, disobedience and
selfwill.
Special music was
provided by Jana Lyn
Rutledge and Laura Lee -
Wood. An offering was taken
for the building fund.
The service on Sunday at
the United Church was
served as this was beautifully
redecorated in the month of
August. "Dangerous Halt'
Truths" was the title of the
sermon. There is a shallow
brand of Christianity abroad
in the World today that
suggests if you just trust the
Lord, everything will fall
into place. Doa't worry about
the future, God will open up a
way, God does provide, said
the minister, but God's
provision depends upon our
appropriating and doing
something about it our-
selves,

Mary's
musings
BY MARY ALDERSON
My husband has many
loves in his life. There's his
car. hockey, me, Pepper and
the boat. Unfortunately they
run in that order.
But I had reluctantly
accepted my third place
position.
I knew I came after the
car - it doesn't matter what
car. he always loves his
current set of wheels. And I
knew I rated behind hockey -
when he's on ice, he doesn't
even know I'm alive.
But I thought I was ahead
of our springer spaniel,
Pepper. and the boat: Until
last week when all the
priorities were shuffled.
You see. compared to
cars. hockey and me, Pepper
and the boat are fairly re-
cent acquisitions. However,
they've found places in his
heart.
I learned this. during the
week that we had constant
rain. and the Ausable River
Cut threatened to spill over
its banks into our front yard.
(That was the week, you'll
remember. that we decided
to take holidays. We won't
get rain like that again until
our vacation next year.)
Anyway. with water
flooding over our dock, we
decided it was time to take
our boat out of the river. The
current was flowing quickly,
and there were logs, stumps
and debris rushing past.
We backed the trailer into
the river, and loaded the
boat on, struggling against
the current. Finally we had
the boat in place, and Victor
started to haul it out, driving
the trusty old tractor.
Just as the boat had
emerged completely from
the river. I heard a snapping
sound. The rope holding the
boat was unravelling and she
was sliding off the trailer
ever so slowly back towards
the river. I shrieked.
Victor didn't hear my
voice over the roaring trac-
tor motor, but he did turn
around just in time to see the
nose of the boat pointing
straight into the air, and the
stern splashing into the mud-
dy river.
Before we knew it our 17
foot, large financial invest-
ment was taking off by
itself, and floating down
river backwards, among a
lot of debris in a swift
current.
I ran towards the canoe,
but Victor was frozen to the
shore. watching his boat
moving quickly away from
him. I yelled at him to get in
the canoe and start paddling.
But he continued to watch S :/•&
the boat. as it was fading in
the distance.
While Victor loves his boat
and his waterskiing, he does
not love water. In fact, he
can't swim, and generally
avoids the canoe unless he's
wearing a life jacket. All of
our life jackets. were in the
receding boat.
I convinced him to get into gm@
the canoe, and if anything '
happened, he was to hang on.
We took off paddling faster
than we ever have before.
This was when our fun -
loving dog jumped in the
river behind us, and started
swimming after the canoe.
Remember, this was a cool,
rainy, windy, overcast day -
not our usual leisurely'
canoeing weather.
We soon reached the boat,
and Victor scrambled out of
the canoe and jumped in,
forgetting his lack of a life
jacket, I'm sure. He turned
around and grabbed Pepper
who was whimpering after
his lengthy swim, and hauled
the mud soaked dog into the
boat with him.
He turned the key, and the
motor chugged into action.
Victor, Pepper and the boat
headed home with no harm
done. .

Which left me alone in the
canoe, in the middle of the
river, trying to paddle ; _O;
