Varna 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 three hours. Unfor-

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-orgar)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

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 Nepal,
Bangladesh, Butaq and Tibet
(now in Red China). At pre-
sent they have a Headstart
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 course 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 - tour 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, 19 girls
and six 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.

Baptism
The Sacrament of Infant
Baptism was celebrated at
Father's Day service in
Lucan United Church on Sun-
day. 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 Lockyer
presented a book to the
parents of each child.
A duet, Because He Lives,
by father and son-in-law Keith
Brown and Wes Stanley was
much appreciated. Judy
Campbell and Sharron Blane
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 alkut Billy and
his Dad who loved to fish
together. Some friends of
Jesus like to fish too, and He
at Lucan UC
asked them to 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 re-
quest has come from
Women's Community House
for furniture and other house-
hold items to help furnish
their new larger quarters.
Contact Mabel Froats for
pickups (227-4879). A box will
be available in the vestibule
to receive smaller donations.

Rev. Roger Mason Sunday
morning introduced Mrs.

parents to read the book' of
Proverbs in raising children.

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
involved 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.

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.N. 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, ar witnesses of
the gospel. As tstians we
also are watchmen for the
Lord, to our families, to the
community in which we live,
and to the world, to warn the
wicked of his ways.

'Douglas Girls' reunion
The Fellowship Hall of the
United Church, Ifensell was
the setting for the annual reu-
nion of the "Douglas Girls".
Twenty-three former pupils
and Sunday School 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-
nion is the third Saturday in
June.
Guests were present from
Hoboken, N.J., Listowel,
Stratford, London, Dashwood,
Parkhill Zurich, Clinton, Ex-
eter and one wee lady from
Vancouver, Vera Hay's
granddaughter Sarah.

This was the fourth party
the girls have had in honour
of Miss Douglas and it is
hoped more girls will attend
each year. Minnie Noakes
was in charge of arranging
the party and several others
helped. The party was a suc-
cess and we thank You all.
