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, The Sunday School promotion exercises were in charge of Superintendent Mrs. Leroy Bryan.

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. . !
