Sometimes we have to die to be reborn
Yesterday, I,cleaned out some of
the flower bee., and 1 hated to do it.
The petunias, which have been very
straggley, the last few weeks, were
beginning to show new life and pro-
duce flowers that had an extra
brightness about them. Still, 1 knew
they had no chance against the im-
pending ravages of frost so 1 pulled
them out and heaped them on the
compost pile.
However, at the south side of the
house, I couldn't bear to pull out the
marigolds that are putting on a last-
ditch, stunning burst of colour. They
are far larger and more brilliant than
they were all summer, as if executing
a final blast of beauty before being cut
down by the cold weather. Of course,
that's.how it's been with the trees, too.
On our return trip from Kingston at
Thanksgiving, we were almost blind-
ed by the sun shining on the scarlet
maples and the golden oaks and
ashes.
The beauty that surrounds us in the
fall season seems to remind us that

Ask for Doreen
though the cold blasts of winter may
come, they will never have the last
word. In a few months, we know those
trees that are now shedding their
leaves and which appear to be dying,
will be stirring with new life. And next
a rebirth. We move from some dear,
familiar place, and experience a type
of dying. But if we're patient, there
comes a rebirth as we settle into the
new surroundings and find peace of
mind, once more.
It Seems to me...
spring, the earth will again be aglow
with bright flowers.
It was Nietzsche who said, "Only
where there are graves can there be
resurrections." How true. So much of
what goes on around us, and within
us, deals with a kind of death... and
Anniversary
for Caven
Caven Presbyterian Church
observed their 124th anniversary on
October 27 at the morning service
with visitors and friends from
Cromarty and Hensall churches,
The guest minister was Rev. D.A.
Beaton from Knollwood Presbyterian
Church in London.
His children's story illustrated by
a light -powered hand computer, em-
phasized the truth of the Christian
message - the more it is exposed to
Tight the brighter it shines.
Special music for the occasion was
an anthem sung by the choir "Reach
out to your neighbour" and a solo by
Mrs. Susan Moore, "I'll walk with
God".
Mr. Beaton chose as his sermon
topic "The Dominion Deposit In-
--surance- Corporation" 9n -which -he
stressed that we do a lot of things
because we have always done them
that way - they have become tradi-
tions and traditions have stood the
test of time.
Many acceptesi an invitation to a
fellowship hour in the church school-
room arranged by the Gordon
Auxiliary.

We lose our job and for awhile our
self-confidence dies. We struggle
through dark days, but if we pull on
our inner resources there can be an
awakening, a stirring, as we realize
we possess strengths we didn't know
we had before to make a new
beginning.
We lose our partner through death
or divorce and again, we pass through
the shadows of death. Yet, with God's
help, and the love of family and
friends, we eventually come through
to the light at the end of the tunnel and
start a new life.
A baby eagle tipped out of the warm
security of the nest must surely think
it's dying as it plummets to the rocks
below, but then, something within it
tells it to start flapping its wings, and
it finds it is soaring through the blue,
up higher and higher into the great
freedom of the sky it never could have
experienced if it had remained in the
nest.
It seems to me there is much for us
to learn from the'nature around us.
God does not desert us when we go
through the 'dyings' of our lives. In-
stead, he gives us the courage to hold. -
on, to dig deep inside ourselves to find
the strength that brings us to resur-
rections and new beginnings.
