PUPPETS PARADE — The senior students of Biddulph-Luton Public Sc ool demonstrated considerable artistic and dramatic ability this week when they staged puppet shows. The students mode the pup- pets, presented o short skit at the school and then paraded downtown on Tuesday so everyone could enjoy their creations. Three of the participants shown here are Bethany Ferguson with Peter Pig, Jodi Riddell with Pommy Pig, and Nicole Hewitt with Petunia Pig. ' Show film on Africa The women's Ministries held their monthly meeting Wednesday evening in Graham Chapel. President Mrs. Marlene Thornton conducted the meeting. After a short business ses- sion, Mrs. Thornton, accompanied by Mrs. Lorraine Armitage playing the piano, led in worship choruses. Mrs. Lynda Ropchan introduced Mrs. Brenda Finch, as guest speaker. Mrs. Finch is a counsellor for ter- minally ill people, mainly cancer pa- tients. She finds devout Christian peo- ple can cope better with a terminal i1- lness than nominally religious people. Mrs. Finch said to never tell a pa- tient how lucky he is, how bad he looks, or even how good he looks. She stressed to gauge your behaviour on your visit on how the patient seems to feel. Let the patient talk about how he feels about things, then give him comments. If he would like you to read, the book of Phillipians is a happy book of the Bible. Try to sit close to the bed, not on it. They need the closeness of friendship. Mrs. Finch says she lets the people talk, as they need someone to listen to them. The patient needs your expression of love.Even a little gift can bring joy. Don't take hope away from. the patient, instead en- courage him. As a Christian you can tell them the ultimate hope is God. If the patient turns his face away from you, talk about something he was interested in. Accepting help can be a depressing thing for an ill pa- tient. They do need someone to cheer- fully and lovingly minister to them. Mrs. Finch's key word is A.L.I.V.E.- -always living in view of Christ. rs. Thornton presented Mrs. h with a book for coming. A 1 treat of strawberry shortcake was served after the meeting. Sunday morning Doug Butler ministered in singing "Because He Lives". • Rev. Roger Mason spoke from II Chronicles 16:9.One whose - whole heart is toward God will be sup- ported by God. As long as King Asa loved God, God did support him. King Asa was tatally dependent on God in the early years of his reign. He got rid of foreign idols and false wor- ship in Judah. Because he honored God therewas peace then. A person devoted to God has rest. Jim Robertson, a president of the Lucan branch of the Canadian Bible Society, showed a Bible Society film of their work in Africa. The Bible Society's purpose is to get God's Word into the hands of people in their own language. Starting with African drums, the film showed scenes �f Africa, animals, the land, and the people. Native singing was the background of this Journey of Hope. Of 460 million people in Africa, 70 percent are illit- terate. They may learn to read, but so many do- not have reading material, so lose the skill. Thefilm showed amother who was determined to learn to read. She at- tends an evening literacy class, with Good News for New Readers booklets supplied by the Bible Society in her own language. All ages can attend literacy classes and learn to read and write. The African Bible Society pro- vides these books. Every morning children and young people gather to pray, sing, and learn to read and write. They use Bible Society booklets that are also illustrated. There is a big Bible Society building in Cairo, where people can learn to read, write, then how to teach others. They also teach that their lives were 0 Seniors meet The seniors' meeting opened with the vice president Hamilton lfodgins in the choir. 0 Canada was sung watt Mary Kooy at the piano.

The pass History seems to repeat itself each year for Carrie Lane who is a grade 7 student at Biddulph Central School, and is the daughter of Sherry and Ted Lane of Market Street in Lucan. If this young lady keeps up her winning ways her father will have to build an extra room onto the house just to ac- comodate her medals. She has been over-all girl champion in her age group in Middlesex Coun- ty for the past three years, 1984--9 to 11 years; 1985--11 years, 1986--12 Years. She placed first in cross coun• - cnanged from reading the Bible stories, and lead others to Christ: In Zimbabwe the Bible Society books are eagerly sought to teach reading in schools. The printing press in Nairobi turns out the reading portions, but they are not rich enough to print the scriptures themselves. A worker appealed for financial aid, In the beginning of the 1870's the New Readers program was started. The African Bible Society secretary told of the translation work of the Bible portions. The teachers use these books to teach people of all ages to read while they also learn the word of God. One teacher told how she tested the children to see how well they had learned their booklets. Many of the schools and churches are open air in the country. The people happily sing about the Lord, then learn to read God's words; illustrations, in their own language. Many become Chris- tians, giving them joy in life. The Bible Society work is helping meet people's need to learn to read is helped only as more fortunate people support the work of the Bible Society.

Carrie baby sits children for mothers in the neighbourhood,sand she has been known to visit elderly shut in folks just to be company for them and help them pass the time away: She has just very recently retired as a Free Press carrier girl and many of her customers were sad to see her leave as she has a way of making people feel good just by say- ing "hi there" even if the news was some times not that bright. She is active in the Lucan United Church Sunday School and has ten years of Sunday School attendance to her' -credit. She takes her religious training very seriously.
