Twice we were out to Ruth's farm
to enjoy that quiet country setting.
Debbie Voisen and Beth Wiseman
welcomed us to their spacious and
immaculate lawn and gardens. We
made our annual trip to Evelyn
McNaughton's home, this time cel-
ebrating the July birthdays with
cake and ice cream along with the
picnic fare. Since Eveyln celebrates
her birthday in July too, it was
quite suitable! As usual, she had
some readings to keep us well en-
tertained. Her fish and lily pond
with its resident frog kept us alert
and interested, as well as the me-
nagerie at the back of her lot.
The first week in July, we were
closed while they worked at putting
a new roof on the Activity Centre.
(Nomore dodging the raindrops
falling on our heads!). Since the job
wasn't quite done, the following
week we met in the South Lounge
of the Apartments. John McLean
gave us a very happy time as he
played the piano for us. He played
various songs, some familiar and
some new to us, but ended up with
a sing -a -long. We thoroughly en-
joyed his time with us, and hope to
have him back sometime.
The next day, Barbara Rosser
Daigle did the honours, and we
sang some more as she worked the
ivories!Her talent and friendliness
too, were enjoyed and appreciated.
In the afternoon, the troupe that
were conducting the Community
Vacation Bible School out at the
Nairn Church, came to share with
us. They told us they will be con-
ducting Vacation Bible Schools
from Windsor to Ottawa, from
Sudbury to St. Cathcrines through
the summer. They shared with us
the theme, sang some songs from
their repertoire and even got us in-
volved in some good camp -type
action songs! A real refreshing af-
ternoon!

United Church. Fr. Peter Hays also
celebrated Mass during the after-
noon.
Residents enjoyed an outing by
bus on Friday afternoon. Thanks to

Friday evening bingo was played.
Music for the soul
The Bible is full or stories about people and people's lives. One, most
interesting character is Saul. It was Saul who became the fust King of
the nation of Israel.
Coming from the Bible and holding such a prestigious position as 1st
King, we might expect that Saul would be a most, exemplary individu-
al. Not True! Saul was a manipulating, devious, man who seemed to
worm his way into power.
Let's look. Saul's selection as King seemed to come as a result of his
charismatic leadership and popular acclaim. The people felt Saul would
be the best one to break the Philistine oppression and restore Israel's
fortunes.
However, this deviated from tradition greatly. Normally, sacred Lots
would be cast by the priest and it was God alone who chose the king.
And so it was that the prophet Samuel was not convinced Saul was a
good choice and warned both King and people.
Saul did manage to defeat the Philistines and reclaim the highlands
for Israel. However, this victory seemed ori► y the beginr^ji ng of his trou-
bles. Saul neglected his religious duties, he began to claim for himself
the sacred role rightfully belonging to the priest and prophet Samuel.
Saul became selective and lackadaisical about his faith.
Its true Saul appears bold, brave, impatient and implusive but some-
how, in his imperfection, genuinely devoted to God and Israel. Yet,
Samuel maintained that 'rebellion' and 'stubbomess' were no qualifica-
tions for a King of God's people.
Obedience was worth more than readiness to perform the outward
obligations of religion.
.... the turning point
Saul begins to suffer. He's troubled by migraines and anxiety auacks.
Those around him suggest that soothing music will best help Saul over-
come his sufferings.
Music is still held in high regard within the medical profession. We
know that music played in the psychiatric wards of our hospitals helps
soothe distraught patients.
Music played in new-born nursery helps to calm hundreds of crying
infants. Music is recommended as the No. 1 stress -reducing technique.
When things get hectic, tense or overwhelming, the idea is, you find a
quiet corner and play your favourite record. .
Music is the avenue for God's spirit and message. When our words
and gestures; circumstances and events fail to reach people's hearts and
minds - music touches and soothes.
Clifford Elliott, in his book Speaking for Themselves, chronicles the
lives and thoughts of the dispossessed, the undervalued, and the margi-
nalized.
He tells of Don, who struggles for security. Don lives in a dingy
room in a cheap hotel. He's about 40, unshaven, long, straggly hair and
ill-fitting glasses. He speaks with a hesitance that belies an underlying
confidence.
Don's life has not been easy and he admits to making many unwise
choices. He's not sure he likes the idea of having to be responsible for
his own life. That seems like an enormous task.
By hanging out at a local Community Centre, and through friend-
ships made there, moving into the congregation of an inner-city
Church, Don began to feel comfortable with people and with himself.
This man has liule eduction, few skills and yet has been able to teach
himself how to play the guitar, piano, and accordion. it is his hope and
dream to be a paid performer, travelling around from bar to bar.
For Don, music is both a way of expression and a release. It was mu-
sic that caused Don to turn his thoughts toward God, something some-
one greater than himself, and yet something that helps him, and all of
us, find true meaning and choose a direction in life.
Our true security hes in what Churches often refer to as 'the Kingdom
of God'. Talking about this kingdom is to talk about something that is
greater than any one of us and greater than any one of our lives.
It is a universal, eternal goal, the direction in which all humanity
should be travelling. The message of Sau1's life and the story of Don's
life suggest that each one of us must translate this goal into something
specific, which we see as a part of that greater whole.
So put on your favourite record, sit back and drink in the soothing vi-
brations, and turn our thoughts to God.
