World Day of Prayer planned EXETER - Women from Guate- mala invite Christians around the world to unite with them for World Day of Prayer services on March 5, to pray that all people will be used by God as instruments of healing. The service has been prepared by women whose peoples have lived in cooperation, not competi- tion, with the earth. Their country is exhausted by immense social problems and sin but these women still ask, in this U.N. Year for the World's Indigenous People, "What does it mean to be the people of God and instruments of healing?" The voices of seven Guatemalan women woven through the order of worship give powerful testimo- ny through scripture readings, poetry and song to their love for and commitment to their suffering nation. Canadians are invited to join in solidarity with Guatemala as people worldwide pray for con- nection with the refugees, home- less, drug abusers and people with AIDS in their midst.

Services are translated into a multitude of languages and dialects.

Local services are organized by ec- umenical committees in more than 2,000 communities across Canada, with each church taking a turn to host the annual service. The offer- ings from the services are used to provide study and worship resourc- es; to cover costs of•printing and distributing the services, and to support ecumenical projects in Canada and abroad. The service in this area will be held at 2 p.m. at Exeter United Church, Grand Bend United Church and at Hensall United Church on Friday, Manch 5. Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello Some timed -release tablets work by mixing the drug In a waxy substance. The drug is released by gradually leaching the drug from the wax base by body fluids. Taking the tablet with hot liquids might speed up this release leading to drug side effects. So take your tablets with a big glass of cool water. Baths are better for dry skin than showers. Baths give the skin a chance to "rehydrate", that is replenish its water content. Applying a good mois- turizing cream after the bath will enhance the process and get rid of that dryness. Food for thought: The average North American consumes about 40 tons of food in a lifetime) This does vary a few tons on either side due to vari- ations in body size and degree of activity. To minimize the swelling from a sprain, use the R.I.C.E. approach: Best the injury, apply ice for 20 minutes at a time for a couple days; gom pression of the sprain site; Elevate the injury above level of the heart.
