Ltd. warehouse, said that most- of the damage done was to the packing sup- plies and the building itself. He prais- ed the excellent job of both Grand Bend and Thedford-Bosanquet fire departments, who kept the blaze from spreading to the nearby coolers. Jamrozinski guessed that the fire started from an electrical cause. Firemen were forced to wear air masks inside at all times due to the heavy smoke and gases from the bur- ning onions, potatoes, and plastic packaging supplies melting in the in- tensive heat'. Jamrozinski reported that the coolers were restarted on Friday in the four year old building. He estimated the damages will run to over $120,000.00.

God detests anyone who deals dishonestly. Deuterohomy 25:16. One of the most tremendousthings about God is that, "if we'are failtiiless, He will remain faithful, For He cannot disown himself". 2 Timonthy 2:13. The miracle of God's forgiveness can be part of an even greater miracle in your life - the miracle of lifelong faithfulness, even to the point of death.

Vera Brown gave a short introduc- tion to the next chapter on "A diligent heart."

When tourists can't go to the beach, they eat and they go shopping! By the look of the long line ups from most licensed bars on Friday night. many pro- prieters will be smiling this week. One concern in Grand Bend on a holiday, which was better this weekend, was that the traffic flow was less. Village foreman Jack Stanlake didn't have as much trouble with litter on the beach due to the cloudy skies. -Choosing friends The -youth met on May 14 at the Church of God when Peter Barnhart and Mrs. C. Barnhart conducted a Bi- ble study from Proverbs. The study was on friendship, relating to the good and bad qualities in choosing Friends. Three of the youths were away for four days attending the provincial Youth rally at Hidden Acres. The adult prayer and Bible study follow- ed with Pastor Barnhart expanding the truths based on the purpose of the Law taken from Galations chapter 3. On Sunday morning following Sun- day school at 10 a.m. Mrs. Steckle favored with a special song "The Way He Loves". In the evening, Alex Des- jardine led a singsong of favorites with Phyllis Desjardine at the piano. Pastor Barnhart's theme was taken from Genesis chapters, 39-41, tying in chapter 15 preparing Joseph for Leadership.
