Times-Advocate, 1984-06-20, Page 11Varna. barbecue at new community centre By Mary Chessell The Varna Church pork chop barbecue was held this year in the air-conditioned comfort of the new Stanley Township complex west of Varna. The shed where the supper has always been held would have been uncomfor- tably hot, but the cool at- mosphere of the new hall con- tributed to one problem - some guests were so comfor- table, they forgot that people have to be served and seated rather quickly in order to ac- commodate 1300, including the little children, in a time space of ihree hours. Unfor- Strawberries Henry Hendriks 1/2 mile south of Zurich 236-4451 / tunately, many people stood in line for up to an hour. Hopefully by next year there will be picnic tables on the lawn to add seating capacity. The committee of stewards and their wives are to be com- mended on the well -organ ized and smooth running of the event in this first year in a dif- ferent location. We were honored to have Father Abraham ,of India, who is visiting Jane David- son, among our guests. He grew up in Cape Breton and Halifax and was educated at Ignatius College in Guelph and Regis College in Toronto. In 1948 he went to India and started a school in an old hun- ting lodge which became in- adequate. In 1962 he toured Canada in an old Volkswagen and persuaded 1200 families to give up dessert on Friday night and contribute the money saved for a new school. It was begun with this money, but required the help of the staff and children who worked for one hour each day to build it. They quickly CUTTING of the many delicious barbecue, held for the PIES Helen Taylor pies first .116 ut Johnston (left), R h add Bernice Kela cut some served at the annual Varna United Church pork time in the new Stanley Township community centre. realized the benefits of a work program, and extended to food production units. They are now building a second unit of five they have plann- ed for. Father Abraham's school is outside the town of Kurseong in the state of West Bengal, in a sensitive area almost sur- rounded by Ne al, Bangladesh, Butan an ibet (now in Red China) . t pre- sent they have a Hea rt School for 150 of the poorest five -year-olds. They built a high school which has 1400 students, 500 of whom are on work scholarships, working in a six to seven thousand bird poultry operation on the roof of the school, a piggery and a dairy. They teach a govern- ment toury which leads to college entrance, and also train mentally and physical- ly handicapped children in skills that will allow them to work, too. Father Abraham and another older man also run an institute known as Saint Alphonsus Social and Agricultural Centre, which is an adaptation of the tradi- tional Indian extended fami- ly. It's a combination of work, college and home for 86 peo- ple - four widows and their children, three young mar- ried couples, and young peo- ple ages 14 to 21. There are 22 Christians, five Buddhists, two Muslims and 57 Hindus in this group. They have 12,000 poultry, 60 pigs and 17 dairy cows and do mountain terrace vegetable farming. Two of the children attend senior college, 13 girls and silt boys are in an outside senior high school and 16 in junior high. There is a regular academic course, boys learn construction, gardening and vegetable farming, girls sew and knit their own clothes and for the poor, and learn typing and book-keeping skills. There is also a program in dance, music and art. The aim of this institution is to educate the poor to live, work and learn together. In this way, many of the poverty pro- blems can be solved. Father Abraham is again on a fund- raising tour. To register for this sum- mer's swim program which is from July 16 to 27, you should call Karen Ratcliffe at 262-5392. The bus will pick children up in Varna and Brucefield as usual. WHITE SWAN - WHITE, YELLOW OR BEIGE FACIAL TISSUE 79, OUR REG. 1.27 BOX OF 200 NEILSON ORANGE JUICE STICKS OR DREAMSICLES PKG.

Mr. Brown baptized Wade Carter, son of Kevin and Cathy Broome, Natalie Barrett, daughter of Wayne and Judy Darroch, Lori Lynn, daughter of Gerry and Linda Jongeneelen, and Angela Lynn, daughter of Wes and Helen Stanley. Following the baptism, on behalf of the UCW, Bernice Loc(Cyer presented a book to•the parents of each child. A duet, Beeause He Lives, by father and son-in-law Keith Brown and Wes Stanley was much appreciated. Judy Campbell and Sharron Slane served as Welcome Commit- tee for the service, and Elder Freeda Melanson read the Scripture Lesson for the day. Marj Park gave a Minute for Missions talk on behalf of the M & S Committee ;of the Church. She described the summer ministry to tourists in Algonquin Park, pointing out that this is one of the pro- jects supported by the Mis-. sion and Service Fund of the Church. Local donations towards the fund now stand at 29 percent. Flora Robertson, in charge of children's story time, told the children about Billy and his Dad who loved to fish together. Some friends of Jesus like to fish too, and He asked them t' be fishers of people as well as of fish Boys and girls today can be fishermen of this kind too when .they tell their friends about Him and invite them to come to Sunday School with them. "Are you running a hotel or a home?" was Mr. Brown's Father's Day sermon theme. Home is intended to be a lit- tle corner of the Kingdom of God where all can grow together, but often it is mere- ly a drop-in centre where physical needs of members are met. Coming events: Wednesday at 7 p.m. the Friendship Unit meets at the home of Anne Holden to view the film, Ghandi. Prayer break meets at 12 noon. Saturday is Cleanup Day at Presbytery Camp Kee-mo-kee. Helpers are requested and are asked to bring cleaning tools and materials. Next Sunday the Sacrament of the Lord's Sup- per will be celebrated.

A box will be available in the vestibule to receive smaller donations. • BEST INTERMEDIATE FIDDLER — Karl MacNaug ton o Lucan was crowned intermediate champion at the Saturday night windup of the Hensall fiddlers champion- ship. Above, chairman Wayne Reid makes the presen- tation. T -A photo DVBS soon at Revival Centre Rev. Roger Mason Sunday morning introduced Mrs. Ruth Nurfn.as she played the piano, singing It Matters to Him. Dr. G.H. Nunn ministered from Proverbs 23:19-28. Dr. Nunn advised all parents to read the book of Proverbs in raising children. If men want to be better fathers, ask some questions. The Bible, what is it? Is it simply a guide and a map? Is the Bible the inspired inerrant word of God? We need to set- tle in our minds the Bible is Lucan UCW meet Andrew Robertson was guest speaker at Lucan United Church Women's General meeting held at the Church on Wednesday even- ing. Andrew, a social worker invoWed with the London Youth Detention Centre, gave helpful insights into the new Federal Young Offender's Act which became law in April of this year. He explain- ed how it differs from the 1908 Juvenile Delinquency Act which it replaces. He feels it will be more effective in deal- ing with present day youth as it emphasizes personal responsibility on the part of the young offender, and makes more effective provi- sion for the protection of society. Questions and discus- sion followed the talk. A social time followed, with refreshments provided by Marj Park and Marion Lee. �1 Ruth Butler led in a mean- ingful worship service based on the theme of compassion and self -giving. President Mabel Froats welcomed Regional Vice -President Jean McKichan who brought greetings from Middlesex Presbyterial UCW. The women accepted an in- vitation from the Session to conduct the Church service on July 8. They agreed also to take the'usual food booth at the Lions' Fair. Plans were made for several women to attend Presbyterial UCW Day at Camp Kee-mo-kee. Several helpers were requested for Vacation Bible School to be held at Lucan Revival Centre July 9-13, also cookies for the children's snack time. Dona- tions were approved for the General Fund of the Church, and also to assist with Vaca- tion Bible School. the word of the living God. As such we need to be careful how we handle the Bible, and acquaint ourselves with it. In- stead of saying we think such and such, we should say, "The Bible says," as the Bi- ble is the final authority. After Rev. Roger Mason led chorus singing, Sunday even- ing, Dr.. G.H. Nunn spoke from Ezekiel 33:7-9, where God set Ezekiel to be a wat- chman over the nation of Israel. When God says'a wick- ed man will die, it was Ezekiel's responsibility to warn him. If he did not warn him, God requires his blood at Ezekiel's hand. But if Ezekiel did warn him, and the wick- ed man paid no heed, then Ezekiel had fulfilled his com- mitment and was freed. As Christians we are to become instruments for the Lord to warn people. All we do, our actions, where we go, what we say, are witnesses of the gospel. As Christians we also are watchmen for the Lord, to our families, to the community in which we live, and to t ie world, to warn the wicked of his ways. Upcoming events - Vaca- tion Bible School is from Ju- ly 9th to Jul 14th.

'Douglas Girls' reunion The Fellowship Hall of the United Church, Hensall was the setting for the annual reu- nion of the "Douglas Girls". Twenty-three former pupils and Sunday $chool pupils en- joyed reminiscing and meeting with old friends. Mrs. Jessie Armstrong, who was a friend of Miss Douglas as well as primary teacher for many of the girls, was special guest. Miss Douglas is a patient in Chateau Gardens, London and not able to attend the function. The old desk used by Mrs. Armstrong when she taught as Miss Jessie Buchanan was loaned to the girls for the occasion. This desk was used in the town hall where many began school days, while the continuation school was being built. Many anecdotes were exchanged over the desk which had some old readers displayed. Jane Schuessler, freelance writer for the Stratford Beacon -Herald was in atten- dance and is going to compile a story regarding the reunion. She enjoyed a lengthy chat with Mrs. Armstrong who was able to provide her with a great deal of information regarding the good old days. Rev. Stan McDonald Joined the girls at their pot luck din- ner. Annie Morenz gave out little prizes she had made. Everyone enjoyed a sump- tuous meal. In 1985 the date for the reu- nionAs the third Saturday in June. Guests were present from Hoboken, N.J., Listowel.
