Only a few of the birds have joined

also find a temporary home in fields
just south of Pinery Park.
Crabe told about 100 vistors to the
site Sunday that even the ducks and
geese were difficult to see because
they were hidden by corn stubble in
the fields.
"Normally upward of 10,000 swans
would stopover here. But there are a
lot less than that. The weather is good
for flying so they are probably hop-
scotching between stopover points.
The swans fly north each spring
from their winter home in
Chesapeake Bay in Virginia.

open our hearts to the love of God, and
surrender our wills to God's purposes.

The pastor, Father Robert Mor-
rissey, celebrated all the• weekend
masses at Immaculate Heart of Mary
Church for She Third Sunday of Lent.
Organist Paul Dietrich was also can-
tor, and Carol Luther read the scrip-
tures. Eucharistic ministers for the 11
a.m. mass were Jim Dalton and John
kelders. The choir hymn during com-
munin was "From the Depths of Sin
and Sadness." -
Father Morrissey's sermon was
taken from the gospel story of the
Samaritan woman at the well.
Christ's journey took Him through
Samaria, to Jacob's well, where He
asked a Samaritan woman for a drink
of water. And that casual encounter
led to a conversation in which Jesus
broke down several walls that divide
the human family.
The first wall was one of racial dif-
ference, 'between Jews and
Samaritans. Even though there was
a history of mutual dislike, Jesus
walked through that ancient barrier
wall as if it didn't exist. The only race
that matters to God is the human
race, to which we all belong. Christ
broke down a second wall of a social
barrier, by openly conversing with a
woman in public, flouting tradition,
even ignoring the woman's bad
reputation. He treated her with
respect, for He loves every human be-
ing regardless of what they may do;
we are all sinners, in need of God's
grace and mercy.
Then Jesus taught us that no one
has an•exclusive claim to God; He
cannot be contained in one place, or
controlled by any group. Wherever
people worship God in spirit and in
Truth, their worship is acceptable to
God. Jesus passed through Samaria,
to break down the artifival barriers
that divide human society. If we want
to follow Him, then our commitment
must be to do the same.
Next Sunday, after Communion at
all masses, therewill be a special col-
lection taken up for Development and
Peace, on March 29 to "share Lent".

The March meeting of GB Women's
Institute was held on Thursday after-
noon at the United Church.
Seventeen members and 2 visitors
gave a current event from Prince Ed-
ward Island. The motto was given by
Verna Lovie, on a tourist attraction,
Wooleigh, P.E.I.
A skit was presented by Ruth Mcln-
toch and a Japanese nurse, Loreen
Gill. They told about cultures and -
hand crafts of the island. Verna Lovie
informed the ladies about the North
American Indians, for the education
topic. !t was learned that they first
lived in caves, domesticated the
turkeys, and hunted for skins and
meat. This meat was cured over open
fires and smoked; fish was treated
the same way. The men hunted and
fished, while the women planted the
corn and did all the work.
These Indian people made totem
poles, paintings, bead and basket
work and were veru talented.
The group discussed the upcoming
course, "Short Order Meals", and it
was decided that the course would be
held on April 16 at 12:30 at the UC.
Anyone is welcome to attend the
course. Phone Catherine Junker at
238-8384 for more information if you
