WILLIAM ROHDE The 24th Sunday After Pentecost Church Service was the charge of Rev. Robert Matheson. Rev. Matheson told the children's story "Will We Ever Be Ready?" The Scripture Lesson was read from Malachi 4:1-6,2 Thessalonians 3'6-13, and Luke 21:15-19. The sermon was entitle "Framing Our Minds". There are on-going studies looking at the lives of twins to see what has more effect on us - the traits we in- herit from our 'parents - the world around us - our environment. Our three Scripture lessons speak of how we use what we have inherited from God as we interract with the world around us. I believe all of our passages tell us not to make excuses about things we claim to be beyond our control. We cannot say we knew something we did was wrong but went ahead and did it anyway because it was the only way we had been taughtto do things! We are responsible for our own actions. We cannot be like Flip Wilson in his old television series who used to say, "The devil made me do it!" All of the Scripture passages speak of refining our actions - much as metal is refined in foundries. It is always up to us to work on our lives to meet the standards for living God through Christ has set for us. While we cannot lay the blame for our wrong actions on the head of anyone else - surely the credit for all our right, just, and loving actions belong to God and Christ for it is through God we learn how to interract with our environment and other peo- ple properly. Celebration of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be observed at the New Beavers at Cromarty By MRS. ROBERT LAING The first Cromarty Boy Scout group committee met at the home of the chairman, Bill Mahon, Thursday evening.

Mrs. Lucie Milne conducted Sun- day's church service when the junior choir sang I've Got the Joy, and Somebody Touched Me, with Carol Ann Scott at the organ. Mrs. Milne told the children a parable about a turtle's search for safety, telling how he lost his shiny, furry coat and his speed, and became the slowest and the dullest and the safest animal in the forest. In her sermon she spoke on the meaning of ministry, comparing to- day's meaning to that in the days of Peter. She closed with the question, "Do we need to change the traditional ministry of the church just as Peter listened to God and was the first to minister to the Gentiles. Clerk of session, Jean Carey, read a letter from the Knox College Restoration Fund chairman commen- ding the Cromarty congregation for being the first in Stratford -Huron Presbytery to reach its allocation.
