There are some people who try to manipulate others, even the Ho- ly Spirit - that means Jesus because He is a Spirit. There are some people that can make themselves saints by doing things. This is a continuing series. In the children's time, the minister told a story about a little girl called Betty who went for a walk in t try and saw her reflection water and she said "What's th standing before a mirror if yb see what on the other side of Rev. Pierce asked the child pray with him.

The letter follows: Dear Committee Members: Recently I was granted custody of a youth from the youth cote. This boy has a very poor opinion of all police officers and feels after the treatment • that he has received in the youth court system justice is NEVER served. Un- fortunately in my travels a disrespect for the law and the police is very common. However during the weekend of - June 27 I was very pleased to be a part of seeing a youth's opinion of police, and the judicial system change completely around. This is all thanks to Chief Hardy and the police commit- tee. The boy was allowed to be in the police car for an afternoon shift, and to see what the other side of the fence was really like, and to see some of the . abuse that your Chief and every other police officer has to contend with. The results of tbis youth's ex- perience were remarkable. Chief Hardy not only took the youth with him but also explained many hidden reasons why our justice system works the way it does. It has now been about tro months since the youth was allowed this rare opportunity and the benefits are just beginning to surface, with far better results than I could have expected. As one example, Chief Hardy has instill- ed into the youth that not all police of- ficers treat young people The way he was treated, and the boy has now realized that there really is such a thing as good, "nice" police officers.. He has also begun to realize that the justice system really can work for the good of society and for himself. It takes years with some youths for tne to show them what your Chief showed him in only eight hours, and this was done with the hands-on ap- proach, with obviously a very in- telligent and sensitive person at your I can only say that I wish the police dept. in our Own area were as feeling towards helping these youths as you and your dept. are. It makes my job much easier. Thank you very much for the help you have given me and this youth. Sincerely yours with many thanks Ross Masters * * * Dear Sir: I am the recipient of two quite beautiful "sympathy" cards from anonymous donors. I wish to thank them for their thoughtful gesture.

BSWIRFAMMISMKOM There is no doubt in my mind that the sympathy concerns the unfor tunate fact that the Liberals will form the next government of Ontario, I. gruesome fact to contemplate. We shall need more than sympathy to en- dure, as this time the big red machine will not haVe their socialist bed part- ners to provide the ideas and policy. There is always a light at the end of even the gloomiest tunnel. And the light is blue! • Yours truly, J.M. Gibson. Palmerston, Ont. Sept. 7, 1987 The Editor, Exeter Times Advocate, Exeter, Ontario. What is a strike? A strike is like two combatants fighting fiercely, and the innocent bystander gets the bloody nose, the bladc eye, and has his wallet stolen. With the quite recent postal strike fading ingloriously into the mucky past, we Canadians arenow • hearing promises of a similar one, and probably more violent, looming up in the near future. Whose rights are to recognized and take precedence? The "right to strike" of a few militant discontents, or the right of 26 million Canachans.to freedom of uninterrupted com- munication between people from coast to coast of this great country? If -the dispute cannot be settled peaceably by mediation, then go directly to enforced arbitration, BEFORE disruption of postal service, economic loss to tens of thousands of Canadians, and acts of violence Let each one of us telephone or write his M.P., the postmaster General, and the Prime Minister to cancel any such postal strike before it even gets started.
