Church Service
Rev. K. Teddy Smits was in charge
of the Sunday morning church ser-
vice. We read Psalm 95 responsively.
Rev. Smits told the children a story
about a boat, and a boy who made the
boat and then he had to buy it which
was real interesting.
The minister read the scripture
lesson from Genesis 21:1-21, Acts
16:16-34. He took as his text Genesis
21:17b. And the angel of God called to
Hagar from heaven.
Modern medical science has made
great strides to help those who have
difficulty to bear children. But in the
days of Abrahatn there was only one
method. A slave woman wnuM be
called in to be used as a surrogate
mother.
Abraham takes Hagar, an Egyp-
tian. She bears him a son, called
Ishmael. But soon after that Sarah,
his wife, becomes pregnant. A son is
born and his name is Isaac.
But a rivalry and jealousy
develops, whether true or false, Sarah
comes with many complaints to
Abraham. Hagar had taunted her.
Ishmael had made fun of little Isaac.
Of course, the first born would have
the biggest inheritance.
!s tnally Abraham sacrifices his
first-born son, at the insistance of
Sarah.
Hagar and son are sent out of the
door, .one day, as soon as daylight
comes. In the burning desert the boy,
crazy [or more water, falls down. He
is dehydrated and close to death.
Thee an angel comes to Hagar and
shows her a well. The boy's life is
saved.
We are not so familiar with angels
as were the old Jews. Everyone had
a special angel. •
As Hagar faced the biggest crisis,
God stepped in and brought a salva-
tion. in all human lives God steps in,
in various ways, and opens up a new
road.
The official .board meeting of the
charge will be held Monday evening
July 20 at 8:30 p.m. in Thames Road
Church.
A combined church service will be
held next Sunday July 19 at 10 a.m. in
Elimville Church.

back from east
Sy MRS. STAN PRESZCATOR
Well we're back in good old Ontario.
Stan and i returned home Saturday
evening one week early.
I got homesick from a two and a
half week vacation in the Eastern pro-
vinces. We spent one•week with Mr.
and Mrs. Nicholas Harry and family
in Windsor. Newfoundland.
We then flew on to Charlottetown
P.E.I. where we visited with Mrs.
Elva Moore,who we stayed with last
year. spending four days with her and
sight seeing.
We then went to Hebron where we
spent a week with Mrs. Muriel
Lanoue. Greeting us there was a baby
skunk. Saw two more before the day
was over.
Next day the kid across the road
shot five baby ones and on Tuesday
three more were shot.
So between Stan and Mrs. Lanoue
they had a great burial ceremony.
P.E.I. this year is full of the little
black and white jobs.
We visited Thursday with Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Dunn and family,
Elmsdale. They were busy haying, so
Stan helped unload one load.
Friday evening we spent with Mr.
and Mrs. Wm. Rhynes in Charlot-
tetown. Saturday we took off for On-
tario, supposed to be a non-stop from
Charlottetown to Toronto. but we
spent 45 minutes in Halifax.
We arrived in Toronto and stepped
out into temperatures of 32 celcius.
We had beautiful weather while we
were there.
The three nights in Newfoundland
it froze but was nice during the day.
The temperature only got up to 27
and 28 but not humid. -
• Nice to be back but certainly not en-
joying this heat.
•
When all think alike, no one thinks
very much.
