Teddy Smits was in charge of the regular church service. In his children's story Rev. Smits told the children about the weavers who weave carpets. Many of them work daily on making rugs in the Middle East, and sell their carpets all over the world, Many colours of wool are assem- bled in big piles, and each time the weaver takes another strand of wool to move it quickly through the threads on the weaving loom. Some threads he chooses seem to be very dark, even black. But once the car- pet is finished and the good side comes up, it appears that the black blended in beautifully. So it is with our lives.

Mrs. Sharon Passmore read the scripture lessons. In his sermon Rev. Smits spoke about forgiving. As his text he had chosen the question put by Peter, in St. Matthew 18:21, "lord, how of- ten is my brother to sin against me and be forgiven?" The Jewish Torah stipulated that one must forgive one's neighbour three times. Peter wanted to be more generous and double it and added an extra time. Jesus commented: "Seven times? I tell you, forgive 70 times seven!" Corrie ten Boom suffered much in a Nazi concentration camp. Her sis- ter died in the camp. One Sunday she conducted a service in a church in Germany. After the service a man came up to her who smiled. He commented: "Well spoken Miss". But she had recognized one of the meanest guards at the camp. He held his hand out to shake her hand and she held back for what must have seemed minutes. But she remem- bered the commandment to forgive and she too offered her hand.
