Emmanuel Baptist Church_ women enjoy afternoon tea EXETER - The basement of Emmanuel Baptist Church was transformed into a Victorian -era parlour on Saturday. Eighty ladies enjoyed tea, scones and jam and trays of fruit and cheese while admiring an old-fashioned Christmas tree, flowery window swags and wall and table decorations, and displays of quilts, dolls, cradles, old books and other mementos of a century ago. Annabelle Walz commented on the heirlooms brought by many of the guests. Treasures included lockets and watches first worn by a bride three gen- erations ago, priceless tablecloths and pillowcases edged with intricate knitting or crochet, a rosewood tea caddy, and fragile china cups and plates. Anna- belle explained how to date a piece of china by the absence of marking or the stamp giving country of origin. Guest speaker Lotti Kelsall, Montreal, posed the question "What do you treasure most?" She had brought along a small brass lamp, one of the few things her family had managed to save while fleeing Russia after the Bolshevik revolution. Kelsall noted that she, like most of us, was once so occupied with the "urgent" she neglected the "impor- tant". Will what matters today still matter in 1,000 years? She has learned that relationships are more impor- tant than clean drawers and tidy closets. "The most important relationship in my life is my relationship to God my Father through His son Jesus Christ," she said. "God wants my life to be a picture of what He's really like. I need to let Him use His word to change me". Her husband, John Kelsall, was the speaker at a men's breakfast Saturday morning hosted by Emma- nuel and held at the Three AAA Restaurant. Kelsall used examples from his experience as sen- ior v/p of operations for CN in relating the require- ments for leadership in the business world with living a Christian life under the leadership of Jesus Christ.
