requesting it.
Send for this model,

significant benefit from
any hearing aid, this free

It is not a real hearing

weighs less than a fourth

On Friday, January 30 a

tian High School Society was
forte- It is hoped that a
Gran High School will be
started in Winghatn in
September of 1982. Present
plans call for this to be an in-
terdenotninational school
run by concerned Christian
parents.
In the past couple of mon-
ths a number of people from
the Harriston-Palmerston
area met to prepare the
groundwork for the meeting
mentioned above. The work
of these people bore fruit on
January.30 when at least 125
people showed up to form the
Christian High School Socie-
ty.
It is hoped that this high
school will be able to serve
students within a 35 mile
radius from Wingham. At
the above mentioned
meeting parents were pre-
sent Ceres vnt ig-.te-. coin-

Society meeting to be held in
the Wmgham Bible Chapel
at 8 p.m. Also at this
meeting, it is hoped that a
constitution presented to this
Society will be adopted.
Many may wonder why
this Christian High School is
being set up. Christians see a
number of distressing things
in the public high school- But
that, of course, is a rather
negative basis for anything
1 especially since Christian
schools also have their
faults 1. A Christian High
School is being set up to
teach children a biblically -
oriented perspective of the
universe and everything in
it. It is being set up out of
concern for the souls of the
children. And it is being set
un to glorify the Lord and

Saviour. Christians
everywhere believe that
Christ is to be the centre of
everything. That would in-
clude the field of education.
A Christian education does
not mean a regular cur-
riculum with Bible reading
and prayer attached- it does
not mean- that Bible names
and verses are thrown in-
discriminately into the sub-
ject matter with the hope
that the result is Christian
education. It means instead,
a curriculum taught from a
Christian perspective by
committed Christians. The
principles and methods of
education are also Christian
in orientation.
