fery,Bob Jeffery, Bill Rohde and Mrs.

Church service
The Sunday morning, church ser-
vice was (he sixth Sunday of
Epiphany. Rev. Robert Matheson was
in charge of the service.
We welcomed into our community
of faith through transfer of member-
ship, Mrs. Ray (Alice) Cann from
Listowel United Church.
The Scripture Lesson was read
from Deuteronomy 30:15-20, 1 Corin-
thians 3:1-9, Matthew 5:17-26.
The meditation was entitled "Law:
to what End?"
The message from the Book of
Deuteronomy is 'follow the Law and
live'. Jesus, in Matthew's Sermon on
the Mount, tells us he does not come
into the world to end the law but
rather to fulfill the Law.
Paul, in 1 Corinthians, speaks of the
diet of the Christian. He writes to
those he considers to be immature in
the faith. Ile considers spiritual milk
the only safe diet for the followers in
Corinth. This morning we partake of
the Communion elements.
The elements of the Lord's Supper
are not spiritual milk only they are
the meat of the Christian diet. The
elements of this communion service
have the same life-giving properties
as do the Law in the Old Testament
passage and the spiritual 'milk' in the

By MRS. ROBERT LAING
Thursday night's sudden blustery
weather made the business at the Boy
Scout group committee short and to
the point so the members could be

safety conscious, was Bob Burns,
billed as The Arkansas Traveller.
IIe told how he climbed to the
top of a small hill that overlook-
ed his home and shoved a large
boulder over the edge of the
slope. He watched as it bounced -
down the hill and through the
town, taking out Glenn Swan's
privy, the kitchen off the widow
Murchison's house and ending up
in the parson's living room.
Burns then examjned every
inch of the stone and announced
"By golly, they're right. No
moss!"
Our society, in general, is
characterized by the majority
who accept things as they are
without question.
Fortunately. , there are those
who frequently challenge that
status quo and their inyentions,
discoveries and innovations are
the basis for the rapidly changing
world in which we live. It is from
their searching minds that pro-
gress is made, despite the skep-
tics who threw up roadblocks
around them.
So, there is much value to be
gained from those who heed the
advice so often repeated that "it
can't be done" is solely the realm
in which the gullible and lazy
dwell.
However, those sage words of,
advice may only carry half the
challenge that should be extend-
ed to those who shape our
destiny.
The other half, and one that is
all too obviously ignored, is
whether it should be done. The
pitfalls and dangers in failing to
comprehend the full ramifica-
tions of inventions, discoveries
and innovations are often more
pronounced than the benefits
derived.
For every action there is a
reaction; for every good there ap-
pears to be an evil. Sometimes
we're safer with the gullible!
