The choir anthem was "How long has it been?". The children's story by Rev. Peebles was a lesson on courtesy, kindness and being polite.

Sutton's sermon last Sunday morning was from Matthew 5:13-16, wherein Jesus refers to His disciples as the salt of the earth. Salt, in those times was a most sought after commodity and to be called the salt of the earth was considered most valuable. In these days, although salt is not considered valuable, it still adds flavour to everyday living. If we can, today, retain some of that zest for living and can make our light shine before men that they may see our good work we will be aspiring to Jesus value as be- ing the salt of the earth.

The students left by bus early last Wednesday morn- ing, • and arrived at Blue Mountain around 9 a.m. Those who lacked skiing equipment,were able to rent it from the resort. Within half an hour of their arrival, most students were able to take,to the slopes. Lessons were given to those who wanted them. The ma- jority of the students quickly found themselves comfor- table on the skis and were sur- prised how easy it was to catch on to skiing. By the end of the trip, almost every stu- dent who was on skis for the first time, managed to graduate from the easiest hills, Happy Valley and Big Baby. to more advanced and Twelve tables were in play at the euchre party in St. James Church on Tuesday evening.

With pip Bob Fletcher and - Iry Armstrong of DO SURVIVORS OF A SUDDEN --DEATH FEEL THE "STAGES OF DEATH"? In her book, On Death and Dying, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross indicates that the acceptance of any death usually goes through these stages: shock and denial; great anger and trying to place blame; a brief period of bargaining followed by along and often deep depression; then, hopefully, ultimate acceptance of the facts of life - and death. Dr. Kubler-Ross further states that the survivors of sudden -death victims must go through the same stages of grief as for survivors of those whose death comes slowly. Reading about and becoming better acquainted with the stages of grief can provide insights for thoughful contemplation. Reaching a point of understanding how others have had to cope with similar situations can provide strength and consolation at the time of death of a loved one. We have books, and lists of others, which may assist you in coping with your Toss of loved ones. We stand ready to help you as best we can. Remember, your needs are our concerns.
