Anglican church , At the morning service at St. Johns, Rev. J. Sutton spoke about the fifth chapter of Hebrews verses one to ten. At that time the high priest 'acted on behalf of men to of- fer gifts as sacrifices for their sins and at the same time ask- ing forgiveness for their own sins. Rey.. Sutton feels that Christ was the great high priest chosen by God. Ile was sympathetic to the people around Him and lie offered His life on the cross for them. Today there are parish priests with a calling from God to represent us and guide us to achieve this same forgiveness. • Rev. Sutton challenged us with these questions - Do you realize how easily it is to sin? Do you offer gifts and sacrifices for your sins? Are you called by God? We are called to be obedient to our obligations made at the time of our baptism and we should be s) nipathettc to all humanities. It is a difficult task and a This flock retired The flock of 100 sheep which' have been keeping the grassy 80 acres around the municipal lagoons looking like neatly manicured lawns all summer will soon .be retired for the winter to their home barn on the adjacent farm of owner Keith Gill on the Mollard line, east of Grand Bend. Protected by a four -foot, heavy link fence, the sheep have hosted flocks of ducks and swarms of swallows and bug -eating birds, attracted,to the lagoons. Environmen- talists say the four big ponds will probably be stocked naturally with fish. Apparent- ly Gulls plant fish eggs in such ponds. In spite of the enclosure, there have been problems with domestic dogs running in packs. Last year, eight of the flock were lost to dogs. This. year, complaints to the dog owners eased the problems.
