Tea at the Emmanuel Baptist Church on Saturday.
Valentine tea focuses
on `A Healthy Heart'
Adrienne Talbot
EXETER - 'A Healthy Heart'
was the focus of a Valentine Tea
hosted by the women of Emma-
nuel Baptist Church this past Sat-
urday.
About 75 women from Exeter
and the surrounding area were
treated to an afternoon of fellow-
ship and information concerning
the fragility of the human heart
both physically and spiritually.
February is Heart and Stroke
month and Jean Dinsmore, a re-
tired R.N. and volunteer for the
Heart and Stroke Foundation was
the featured speaker. The women
in attendance listened intently as
she revealed some startling facts
concerning women and heart dis-
ease. Heart disease, once thought
to be a men only disease, is now
the number one killer of women
today.
Facts were given on the risks of
poor diet, inactivity, stress and
high blood pressure and their af-
fect on the heart. Dinsmore ended
with the commitment of the Foun-
dation:
t,, . nsuring women know what
they can do to help prevent heart
disease and stroke;
• supporting research and edu-
cation about the cause, symptoms
and treatment of heart disease and
stroke.
Barb Hodgins sang two songs
entitled "People need the Lord"
and "He can make a perfect
heart".
Having been informed on their
physical needs, the women were
then told the Good News on how
to heal their spiritual needs.
The second speaker, a pastor's
wife and mother of three, gave
testimony as to how having
Christ in your heart and as the
center of you home, helps to keep
the diseases of resentfulness, bit-
terness and discontentment as
well as separation from the Hea-
venly Father away.
Martha Jolliffe revealed the im-
portance of coming to Christ and
reconciling ourselves to the fami-
ly of God as the first step to mak-
ing our heart feel right.
The audience's attention was
directed to the scripture which
went hand in hand with the
healthy heart theme, "Above all
else guard your heart for it is the
well spring of life", Proverbs
4:23.
For more information on the
condition of your heart spiritual-
ly, call Emmanuel Baptist Church
at 235-2661 or for information
concerning heart disease and
stroke, contact the Huron Chapter
of the Foundation at (519) 524-
4440.

February is Heart and Stroke
month.
Followinris a quote fromfatf-
thor Isaac Asimov, "The human
heart beats constantly at a rate of
60 to 80 times a minute, or a
trifle faster than one beat per
second, through a long life that
may last over a century.
In a century of fruitful labor, it
will beat some four billion times
and pump 600,000 tons of blood.
The work done by the heart
each minute is equivalent to the
lifting of 70 pounds a foot off
the ground."
Several from this area attended
the memorial service for Sid De-
vine, held January 31 at Church
of God, Grand Bend. he passed
away suddenly on January 26.
Sympathy is expressed to Ross
Keller and John and Beverley
