Father Vincent Van Zuphithen, guest speaker, delivered the sermon, taken from the gospel story of the ten lepers. Ile explained how all of us are expected to grow from ego -centered children into giving adults. This doesn't always happen, as shown by troubled marriages, which often ex- hibit a mutual lack of appreciation, devoid of praise for each other. Constant criticism brings out the worst in others, whereas praise, honestly given, brings out the best in ..

The ratio one in ten (Lepers) still applies to that rare gift of praise and thankfulness. Appreciation is as necessary to our spiritual and men- tal well being, as food is to our bodies. Learn to cultivate that rare gift of gratitude United Church News It was a great day at Grand Bend United Church on Sunday, a full church'with many visitors. The pastor felt the enthusiastic spirit, and presented his message with the same spirit. The topic of Rev. Peebles' ser- mon was "No Thanksgiving", based on the scriptures of Romans 1:1 as his source". They recognized not God, nor were they thankful." He sug- gested that when a person or society doesn't honor God, or give Him thanks, a descent begins in their lives. First they lose all reverence and respect for God, stop reading their Bibles, stop attending church, and prayer is forgotten. They thank God for nothing. They start making up their own theology, bringing God down to their level of thinking. What does this mean for us today? We need to take a good look at what is around us, and note whether we're falling into the same trap. Many today do not recognize God for what He is or give Him thanks for what He does, investing too little time in any kind of spiritual life. The pastor exhorted the people to follow the ex- ample of the Apostle St. Paul who said "In everything, give thanks." During the service, the congrega- tion was favored with three musical numbers. The choir sang "Praise to God," Doug Martin and Fraser Loban sang a duet, "Watchmen, What of the Night?" Rev. Peebles sang a special solo, "Great is They Faithfulness." Anglican ('hurch St. John's Anglican Church celebrated Harvest Sunday with Ho- ly Eucharist at 9:30 a.m., with Rev. Thomas Harris, retired professor of Huron College as celebrant.
