Rural,sc ools, like ours, must pay careful atten-
tion to whole issue of creating opportunities for
kids. Sometimes we have to work harder, just
because we are rural, at ensuring that we are using
our resources wisely to bring the world to our kids
and our kids to the world. I need only remember a
field trip to Toronto when I was a teacher, two stu-
dents sitting near me had never been there before.
I Schools are places built on the notion of equity
for all. Students who come to us with fewer experi-
ences that have broadened their horizons must
continue to have opportunities at school that they
wouldn't otherwise have had. Schools must do all
they can to address the very real gap between the
so-called 'haves' and 'have nots' and the only way we can do that
successfully is by recognizing that our role as schools and as teachers
are changing. Dorothy said it best "Toto, we're not in Kansas
anymore."

A Point to Ponder
by Rev. Vernon Dean
Exeter Pentecostal Tabernacle
. , I
A. re you a Christian? While travelling recently.in the south,
ern States,' I discoVergd that it is very "in .vogue" to be a
Christian. Most people in the "Bible' melt" go to church and
it is socially distasteful not to go to church. But as one man
has stated, "Going to church does not make a man' or woman a
Christian anymore than sitting in a garage makes one a car." So lei
me repeat the question, "Are you a Christian?" , .
In the footnotes of one of the Bibles .I 'use I found this insight:
"Have you ever worried about whether or not you really area Chris-
tian? A -Christian is anyone who ihas'the Spirit of God living in him
or her. If you have sincerely trusted Christ for your salvation and
acknowledged him as Lord, then the Holy Spirit has come into your
life, and you are a Christian.... When the Holy Spirit is working
within you, you will believe that Jesus Christ is God's Son and that
eternal life comes through him (I John 5:5); you will begin to act as
Christ directs (Romans 8:5; Galatians 5:22,23); you will find help in
your daily problems and in your praying (Romans 8:26,27); you will
be empowered to serve God and do his will (Acts 1:8, Romans
12:6); and you will become part of God's plan to build up his church
(Ephesians 4:12,13)." ,,
So, arc you a Christian? It has to do with relationship with Jesus,
not subscribing to some church doctrine or creed. The word, "Chris-
tian" literally means "follower of Christ." If you discover that you
are not a "Christian" you should make it a "point" to become one
right away. 1'd be honoured to introduce you to my best friend.
