Pierce in hospital Minister's wife in Granton pulpit By MRS. E. SUMMERS In the absence of the Rev. Bruce Pierce who is in hospital awaiting surgery, Mrs. Pierce conducted the service at the Granton United Church on Sunday. Taking the subject for her sermon from the second Scripture lesson 2nd Timothy 3: 14-17 Mrs. Pierce entitled her message "The Bible - God's Immediate Word." So often we hear today that the Bible is a good History Book, but it is much more than that, said the speaker. The Holy Spirit is able to direct our lives through the Bible. It is said that the Bible is not relevant to today, but the law of the Lord is forever. The world is full of decay, mar- riage break downs, living together relationships, so much pornography available to young people etc. Nobody knows how soon the world will end, we should be ready and prepare ourselves for this. At St. Thomas Anglican Church the Rev. Peter • Der- rick was in charge of the Mor- ning Prayer Service. T he two Scripture lessons were read by Jim Hodgins and Helen Herbert. The rector preached his sermon "Prayer" which was a continuation of the sermon subject last Sunday. Commu- nion is prayer with God, we are one with the Father, Ho- ly Communion is sharing the Sacrements with God. Explorer news On October 17 the Granton Explorers met in the united Church Basement.

' 4ts'4 y,. i , q b s s vas .: Mary's musings By Mary Alderson In the past, it has been my experience that most timepieces do not like to keep time. A wrist watch, if not wound on schedule, will quit. At the slightest provocation -- namely a run-down battery -- my digital watch will blink and go dark. I have an aging cuckoo clock that makes annual visits to the repairman, but now refuses to cuckoo, or even tick, at all. My travel alarm clock won't run after just one beating by Air Canada. Our bedside clock radio often fails to turn on the radio at the appointed time, and the digital clock on the microwave oven will cease blinking if the hydro is off for even a split second. But now, I have a clock that loves to keep time. There is just no stopping this clock. Recently, my Great Aunt Etoile (just 95 years young) gave up her apartment and moved into a retirement home. Among the many love- ly things she gave us was her mantel clock. I was proud and pleased to adopt her clock. The clock and I went back a long. way together. I remember one Christmas when I was about five or six years old -- the whole family was staying at Aunt Etoile's. Being the youngest and the smallest, I was elected to sleep on the couch in the living room, with the Christmas tree right beside me. I was given strict orders not to get up too early on Christmas morning. Santa would not leave anything if I was roaming around, so I was not to get out from under the covers until the rest of the family wasup. With the threat that Santa wouldn't leave anything ring- ing in my ears, I was even afraid to !oak under the Christmas tree. I remember staying under the covers with my eyes shut, listening to the clock chime every 15 minutes. It seemed forever b4fore anyone else got up. We named the clock Big Ben (I know it's not very original, but what other name suits a clock?) and brought . him home. Ben does not "bong" like a typical chime clock. He has more of a high-pitched, yet musical "bing". All the way home in the car, packed in a . box, and piled under an assortment of other things, he tick-tocked spasmodically and "binged" everytime we went over a bump or rounded a curve. Since we don't have a /10014440* mantel (I didn't think Ben wanted to sit on the woodstove) Ben was given a place of honour on top of our bookcase. Before I had settl- ed him comfortably in place, he was merrily tick-tocking and binging. By rights, Ben should only go through his musical chime song every 15 minutes and bing on the hour. But he.must have been confused after the trip - he was binging and chiming non-stop. And his binging was not synchronized with the way his hands were pointing. The solution was simple - you just stop the pendulum and set the hands to match the chimes and start him up when the time is right. Well, easier said than done. I climbed on a chair and struggled to turn Ben around. Ben is indeed big; you don't just spin him about with one hand. Once he was turned around, I tried to open the door on the back. Finally the stubborn latch came open and I was able to stick my hand in- side to stop the swinging pen- dulum. I jumped off the chair and walked away, only to hear Ben start ticking again. I soon learned that just the slightest movement will start his pendulum swinging. Finally I got his hands and chimes co-ordinated and away he ticked - faster and faster. By the next morning, he had gained about 45 minutes and I thought I was really late for work. In the middle of his face is a tiny key hole marked S and F. I turn- ed it toward the S, and again stopped the pendulum so that I could start him,later at the right time. This time when I walked away Ben didn't start ticking, he let out a few feeble "bings", messing up hand - chime co-ordination again. Ben and I argued all even- ing -- I was past the point of being nice to him. I kept busy stopping and starting the pen- dulum and moving hands. He talked back with intermittent bings and chimes and tick- tocks -- determined to keep running when I wanted him to be silent. Finally at midnight I was triumphant -- he "binged" 12 times, right on cue. I went to bed exhausted, glad to relax with a good book. I noticed that Ben chimed every 15 minutes right on schedule. At one o'clock I was just drifting off to sleep, when I heard Ben sing his song. He had to get the last word in - now, I'm not positive, but I think he follow- ed his song with 13 bings.
