The Ontario Provincial Police
"Strict is Fair" policy of highway
traffic enforcement will be in effect
over the coming Thanksgiving Holi-
day weekend, a time when families
across the province gather for tradi-
tional homecoming celebrations.
Commissioner Archie Ferguson is
pleased to announce that the number
of holiday weekend motor vehicle
fatalities have been reduced by 43
percent this year, on OPP patrolled
roadways, in comparison with 1985.
. -A total of 24 fatal collisions over the
combined Easter, Victoria Day, Civic
Holiday and Labour Day weekends
claimed 31 lives, compared with 54
people killed in 44 separate accidents.
"This significant reduction in lives
lost cannot be attributed to chance",
Commissioner Ferguson said. "But to
the combined efforts of our officers
and the motoring public, which has
developed improved driving habits
and safety awareness on the road."
• Despite the decline in fatalities, the
two main contributors to fatal ac-
cidents are still the same - excessive
speed and impaired driving.
The OPP is committed to com-
bating these two problems through
the use of radar and the "Strict is
Fair" and R.I.D.E. programs. In a
further bid to save lives, officers will
be paying special attention to the use
of seat belts by motorists.
UC sermon based
on coconut in bag
Fresh flowers adorned the altar
from the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Don Huggins and the sun shone the
first time in days for Sunday's United
Church service.
Greeters, at the door were Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Cowdrey and family. Beth
Cowdrey read the scripture lesson -
taken from 1st Corinthians chapter 11
verses 23 to 40 which tells the story of
the Lord's Supper.
This was Worldwide Communion
Service Day. We approached the
table fully aware of our unworthiness,
but secure in the knowledge that lie
has made us His children, aware of
the seriousness of our participation
and the responsibilities that are ours
on accepting His invitation.
The children's story "It's in the
bag" turned out to be a "coconut". A
sermon on a coconut would be "the
sincere'milk of the word," right; not
necessarily.
Rev. Shaule had another idea. Ile
divided the coconut into three parts,
the shell, the flesh and the milk. Our
bodies are made up of three parts.
The visible outside part, the inside
area, the soul and the middle being
the spirit. All parts made in God's im-
age - by God Himself - for total com-
munication with Him.
Two solos were sung by Miss Jen-
nifer MacDonald, accompanied by
Michelle Merredith on the piano.
Birthdays will be celebrated this
next week by Doris Weir and Alec
Young. Mr. Young will be 88 years
old. Our congratulations go out to
them and any others "Celebrating at
this time.
A VHS and VCR were presented by
the Couple's Club to the church to be
used in Christian education.
The sermon"Remember Me"given
by Darrell Shaule exhorted us to
remember Jesus. All good gifts, all
perfect gifts, everything we own and
are come directly from Him.
Even all this rain has some pur-
pose, we can't see it but put our faith
in Him. He is in control - never again
will we be asked to build an ark, He
promised. He gave us His rainbow in
the sky. No matter how busy our lives
we cannot live without God and we
must never forget Him. Life without
God is a "desert" experience.

osfal WM meets
The Women's Ministries of the
Revival Centre held their monthly
meeting Wednesday, in Graham
Chapel. President Mrs, Marlene
Thornton read 11 Corinthians 4: 7-9 to
open the meeting. In the absence 01
a piano player, Mrs. June Henry pro-
vided music from a tape player, with
Mrs. Thornton leading in chorus
singing.
Mrs. Emma Crouch, guest speaker,
likened the Women's Ministries to the
women who worked with the men in
building the tabernacle in the
wilderness in Exodus 35:10 and 22. To-
day the church is not just a physical
building as the tabernacle was. Only
the high priest could go into God's
presence in the Holy of Holies. Today
we can come into God's presence in
prayer. We are lively stones growing
in the Lord.
Mrs. Crouch stated that women
should never think they are not im-
portant. God uses all willing women.
Women were there when Jesus rose
from the dead, and carried His
message. A woman bore Jesus. When
Joseph and Mary brought Jesus to the
temple, both a man and a woman
greeted them, and prophesied about
Jesus. As Anna spoke of Jesus to all
who were in Jerusplem people's
hearts were stirred. -
Mrs. Thornton presented each lady
with a little gift of a carnation. Light
refreshments were served.
Sunday Morning
Nello Romagnoli, accompanied by
Mr. Larry McGill playing the piano,
led the song service Sunday morning.
Rev. Roger Mason spoke about biting
words from Psalm 140:1-3, from so-
meone David knew. There are many
different kinds of bites, from mild in-
sect bites, more serious animal bites,
to very serious snake bites. These all
pierce or cut, and tear, as can a
sword.
Words can cut, wound, and tear one
inside. Words can sting and irritate
us. This Psalm is a prayer for protec-
tion for David against. known
enemies. Biting words are attacking
words as verse three states, with a
tongue sharpened ready to attack,
like a serpent. Biting words, like a
viper, are deadly words.
',Biting words, in verse 11, are
slnderous that tell malicious false
stories to ruin someone's reputation.
In Nehemiah 6:6-7 an enemy's letter
accuses Nehemiah falsely of rebelling
against the king. The letter intended
to cause bitterness and attacked
Nehemiah's character. Nehemiah
passed it off as an insect bite 'you try
to ignore. •
Sunday evening Doug Butler led the
singing with Mr. Larry McGill play-
ing the piano. Rev. Roger Mason
spoke from James 3:5.8, describing
poisoning words. These words are
often masked so that we do not
recognize them so they can poison our
minds and destroy our welfare. They,
like poison, are subtle. But after tak-
ing it we don't feel well. We may be
unaware we touched or ingested
poison. Poisoned words can infect our
-minds to turn us against an innocent
person. These poisonqus words even
affect our relationship with God.
Numbers 16:11 shows how
rebellious words from rebels against
Moses' leadership poisoned the peo-
ple against leaders Moses and Aaron.
Moses rebuked the rebels who spoke
in bitterness, slandering Moses. God
judged these rebels and their families
as the earth swallowed them and
burned them. When the people con-
tinued to complain, God judged them
by sending a plague that killed many.
Aaron and Moses' intervention before
God spared the rest of the people.

and Guide Hall. All members were

panied by Muriel Cobleigh on the

Safety Pin.
