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.

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 Keller in the death of their sister Gwen Windsor, last week. AMAZING! BUT TRUE! FREE RENT! Prime commercial/office space on Main Street.
