Biblical drama at Lucan church
ler and Martha Butler sang More
then Wonderful.
Miss Betty Butler, life mission-
ary to Haiti, for the last 13 years,
said she returns there September 15.
Miss Butler has a medical clinic in
Port au Prince where they have
Christian doctors. If Haitians bring
a bottle for their medicine, it is
free. Miss Butler also conducts a
dental clinic there. She teaches ad-
vanced English to professional Hai-
tians free of charge.
When Miss Butler left Haiti June
15 they were still shooting and kill-
ing. There is robbery with violence.
Since Claude Duvarlier left there
have been three presidents, all army
generals. The people are rebelling
with strikes. The police are divided
into three groups that do not get
along. One night a group shot off a
cannon that destroyed part of the
palace. _
To maintain order, the army
brought in tanks one day. Another
night during the rebellion streets
were blocked and four radio stations
were destroyed. For two weeks mis-
sionaries were warned not to go
outside. Curfew had everyone inside
by 6 p.m. Even gas stations were
closed.
In Port au Prince strikes are over
everything. Everything is closed
down. Where Miss Butler lives is a
poor part of Port au Prince the peo-
ple cannot afford refrigeration, so
not being able to shop every day is
a hardship.
Blackouts can occur anytime.
Food is very eXpensive. Coffee
coasts $13.00 to $18.00 a bottle. A
dozen tomatoes costs $6.00. Al-
though sugar is grown in Haiti, it
is exported. A bag of five pounds is
$5.00.
The weather is very hot, humid,
and dry. During the election a car
went down the street shooting vot-
ers with machine guns.
When Miss Butler returned after
ast furlough, she and a doctor
,farted a Child Care program. It
gays for food, medical supplies,
and school supplies. Now they

Thames Road

THAMES ROAD - About 85
people gathered at the Morrison
Dam on Sunday morning for their
annual outdoor church service and
smorgasbord pot luck dinner.
Before the service commenced,
Jean Hodgert played her ukulele,

end "Why The Birds are Different
Colours" and the story "Eat, Coat,
Eat".
The theme for the service on Sun-
day was "Stories For Christians.
After the service we enjoyed a'
sumptuous smorgasbord dinner. -
The Thames Road elders looked
after the beverage.
The Elimville elders surprised the
many games, relays, contests and
guessing games which brought an
enjoyable day to a close. (I have a
stainless steel spoon that was left at
the picnic.)
Next Sunday, August 6 at 10
a.m. the service of worship will be
at Thames Road with Elimville
congregation and the Kydd relatives
invited to attend. Refreshments will

There are six million people in
Haiti, with per capita income of
180.00 a year. Most places have
no schools. Some of the mission-
aries bought 15 acres of good land
to raise tool on. But they have to
provide irrigation and a sprinkler
system. Miss Butler is trying to
raise $1,5000 for this project.
Miss Butler is staying with

Nine Biblical women were,repre-
sented, each one different from the
other, living in different periods of
time, each filling a specific place in
God's plan.
Eve, who had so much and threw
it all away when Satan tempted her.
Sarah who received so much from
God although she thought it impos-
sible. Miriam who was trusted so
much wi'h a great position of lead-
ership. Deborah who was given so
much responsibility and trusted God
completely.
Ruth who cared so much and be-
came a mother of royal lineage. Es-
ther who cared so much for her peo-
ple, saving their lives, and her own.
Mary who had so much willingness
to be God's handmaiden not count-
ing the cost.
Lydia who believed so much, and
became the first Christian convert
in Europe. Eunice who passed so
much faith on to her son Timothy,

The drama ended with the ques-
tion "What can you do to fulfill
your place in God's plan?"
