Bible coffee hour Twenty ladies were out Tuesday morning to the Bible coffee hour at Doris Peebles home. A hymn sing preceded the lesson led by Gwen Camp- bell. Study time was on the Beatitudes of Matthew 5:6. Questions under discussion .were "Have you ever been desperately hungry or thirs- ty? When? What effect did it have on your thoughts?""Suppose you had to explain the meaning of the word righteousness to a child or to someone with no religious background? What would you say? All were asked to find three Bible verses that give characteristics of the righteous life. Betty Campbell closed with prayer. Meeting next week will be same time and place. Church of God • On Saturday night a group went to Youth for Christ at Brucefield. After the meeting they met at Jim Rumball's home in Dashwood to celebrate the birthdays of Michael and Michelle Vincent and Karen and Christine Rumball, who were all 13 years old on Saturday. "Marching Orders" was the title of Pastor Campbell's morning message taken from Luke 2. Gardner Bible College was featured and Doug Steckle will graduate from there this month. Dr. A. Brown sang "The Holy City". The Women of the Church of God were in charge of the evening service, with Presi- dent Lucille Vincent leading the service. Millie Desjardine gave a resume of our three month study on Kenya and Tanzania. The meeting was concluded with a filmstrip on Africa. The Easter Ecumenical will be held at the Church of God on April 17 at 8:00 p.m. with Mrs. Evelyn Krueger as the guest speaker. United Church Rev. Peebles morning message was entitled "They Chose a King", taken from 1 Samuel 8:1-7, and Matthew 24:1-14 read by Doug Ridden. The Israelite people had been the chosen people of God, but had turned away and did wicked things. Samuel was to get them a king like other na- tions. Rev. Peebles told us that there is no reason to do wrong. Will we do it our way, their way or God's way? We should ask God for the answer. "Don't forget to Pray" was the choir anthem and they sang "Servants of God" dur- ing the offertory. In the boys and girls story time, Rev. Peebles told them about bringing home a new baby from the hospital. Little Tommy and Mary admired the new baby, saying that they should take off the price tag (bracelet) because they thought the baby was free. Mother said that the baby was not free, but was part of God's family and needed love. The children were asked to thank God for their blessings and God's love. Flowers in the front were in memory of Robert Johnson. The Ecumenical Service will be on April 17 at 8:00 in the Church of God. The Good Fri- day service will be at 2:00 p.m. that day. Don't forget the Easter Sunrise service and breakfast. Midgets win The Parkhill midgets cap- tured the Ontario "C" hockey championship on the weekend, beating Fenlon Falls 8-4 on Saturday.

Times -Advocate, April 11, 1984 Page 3A Mary's musings By Mary Alderson I have a hobby. According to the dictionary, a hobby is "pursuing an interest or ac- tivity for relaxation or pleasure" and my hobby cer- tainly fits that definition. My hobby is tying in the sun and reading. Sounds fascinating, eh? By the way, the reading part of my hobby includes magazines, newspapers or novels - as long as it's something I enjoy reading. It's difficult to pursue my hobby in Canada during the winter months. So recently we travelled to Jamaica, just so 1 could catch up on my hobby. It's not that I get a fantastic tan while I'm lying in the sun. No, I'm the burn and peel type, so while I'm pursuing my hobby I just get blotchy red and pink spots. But I en- joy it! Montego -Bay is the ideal place for such a hobby - sure there was some rain that made it difficult, but the "li- quid sunshine" didn't last long. To quote the Jamaicans, the little bit of rain was "no problem, man." My husband doesn't share my interest in my hobby, but fortunately there was plenty for him to do, too. I even left my hobby from time to time to join him for table tennis or waterskiing yr sailing or swimming. It was rough! I did take some time and sit in on a lesson on Jamaica which proved very in- teresting. Originally, the island was inhabited by Arawaks, a tribe of North American Indians. Then Col- umbus sailed into Discovery Bay in 1494. The island became Spanish property, un- til the British colonized in the 1600's. Then in the 1960's it ceased being a British colony, but remains part of the British commonwealth, much like Canada. There are no racial problems as everyone has mixed backgrounds. English is the official language of Jamaica, but Jamaicans speak their own version which the tourists find unintelligible. The Jamaicans Correction, Gremlins are known to get into typewriters, adding let- ters and words that -aren't meant to he there. In last week's story about "Is Huron County, as it is known today. disappearing?", such a gremlin appeared. Mori -is township reeve William Elston was quoted as saying "There's a reason for that. When the press Is here I won't say ...k". The small "k" inadvertently slipped in at the end of the three dots leaving the impression that a par- ticular words was said. The word was never said and those knowing Reeve Eaton know he would never say that word. Our apologies to Reeve Elston. - can speak grammatically correct English when they need to, but for the most part, talk together in Jamaica talk, which is simply speaking English very quickly and slurring all the sounds together. For example, What's happening?" becomes "Whop?" Or course, they've added their own words, too. "Irie" means good, fine, great, nice and is hear4 frequently. Many of the unusual words come from the Rastfarians, a religious cult on the island. The national flower of Jamaica is Lignum Vitae. This is a small tree and the heart of its wood is purple. The purple wood is used in dyes, and also because of the difference in the color in the wood, it is popular for Wood carvings. Jamaica's national bird is the Doctor Bird or swallowtail hummingbird. The tiny hummingbirds could be seen darting in and out of the many orchid -like flowers that grow wild on the island. Their national vegetable or fruit (I'm still not sure which it is) is Ackee. It grows on a tree and has a red skin when ripe. The red skin peels off and inside are three soft yellow sections which are edi- ble. They fry ackee with anions and serve if for breakfast over codfish. It looks and tastes something like scrambled eggs. The- fresh fruits and vegetables are many - some are like melons and others are like squash and they are all delicious. I was told that Jamaicans are very seldom ill, and never need to visit doctors. This person at- tributed their good health to the fresh fruit, vegetables and fish they eat. It is also interesting to know that Allspice is only found in Jamaica. Allspice is made when the leaves of a certain tree are crushed. Official orunofficial,reggae is the national music and dance of Jamaica. And unless you'veheard reggae music,it can't -be described. Perhaps it is a cross between rock and roll and calypso. The late Bob Marley made reggae famous the world over, and Jamaicans are very proud of him. We were lucky enough to have a our through the coun- tryside and saw the main in- dustries of Jamaica. They ex- port bauxite for manufactur- ing aluminum. There are numerous sugar cane and banana plantations, as well as a few dairy farms. Everybody keeps goats, and curried goat is a popular din- ner dish. We also saw John Turner's favourite vacation spot in Ocho Rios, as well as the beautiful Dunns River Falls (which wasn't unlike Rock Glen, in Arkona, Ontario! ). All in all, it was an "irie" week with no problems, man. ,..
