Ron Faw, a Canadian missionary to Brazil, and a paraplegic as a result of a motorcycle accident on the field, inspired the 60 people present in the first service with his dedication and his account of God's working in that country. The first indication that something unusual was happening came when Pastor Carne announced that the offering of cash and pledges totalled $1297.25. The Friday evening service featured mis- sionary Wayne Feay of Sierra Leone, Africa. The offering that night amounted to a further $1902.50. Saturday evening, Keith Elliott represented the work of the church in Ecuador. At this point. Pastor Carne con- fessed later that he was sure that "the well had gone dry," but the evening's offering yielded another $1399.45. Sandra Tjart, a counsellor to alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes and homosexuals in an inner-city ministry in Brazil, told of her work in the final service on Sunday mor- ning. There was a great sense of praise and thanksgiving when the offering of $1084.50 was announced. Sunday evening further pledges amounting to $240 were received. The goal for the convention had been set at $3000; the total cash and pledges received was $5923.70. Thiee-feet-high figures of people of variotks nationalities were drawn and painted by Shirley Luna and Pastor Carne and located\on the front walls of the church. The theme, "Pars In Harvest", was il- lustrated by sacks of grain on the platform, toy tractors and combines in the windows and a large picture depicting a farm scene, with four pieces representing the miracles accomplished by prayer, manpower, money and materials, cut out in jig -saw fashion. Each night the service began in the dark while a taped monologue emphasized the importance of one of the pieces of the picture that was later placed in its ap- propriate place and coloured lights were turned up to illuminate the whole scene.

Sewing Plus is newproject By Melody van Dorp CI,INTON - Once again the Clinton I1 4-H Club began another 4-H project entitled Sewing Plus. This is a project for persons with a basic understanding of the art of sew- ing and the use of a sewing machine. Because of this prerequisite, the number of members enrolled in the present club has dwindled. Nine members attended the first and second meetings of this project, both held on April 4, at the home of leader, Sherry Postma. The election of officers was held with the following results: Shelly Merner - president; Susan Ryan - vice- president; Julie Merner - Secretary; Melody van Dorp - Press reporter. The garment that all members are re- quired to prepare is a big shirt, with a collar and interfacing, using a cotton fabric. As the meetings proceeded, members learned which pattern to buy, what fabric to use and how to prepare material for use in garment making. Members were asked to have their fabric and pattern ready for the next meeting which will be held on April 21 at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Sherry Postma.

WI is educating rural women The aim of education for rural women was one of the main ideas behind the establish- ment of The Wmen's Institute (WI) 90 years ago. Alth I' gh the topics covered have changed over the years, the principle hasn't. Each Women's Institute branch organizes their own program to suit the interests of their members. In the past year one branch has had speakers or programs on the follow- ing; colors and scarf tying, the Associated Country Women of the World Conference in Ireland, the treatment and care of crippled and handicapped children, painting of pot- tery, cooking food in the microwave, touring the farms in the county, agriculture in the classroom, free trade, New Zealand, care of children in the Children's Hospital of Western Ontario, Family Law Act, adoption and how to become a Canadian citizen, cook- ing and preparing beef, preparing meals quickly. By attending workshops on a county basis other topics were covered, including, Prince Edward Island, geneology, job sharing, ef- fective parenting, positive thinking, plann- ing a wardrobe, exercise, resume writing, job searching, starting a business, how to manage drugs and more.

So the topics that are covered by Women's Institute are up-to-date and relevant. Often topics covered at WI meetings are featured as stories in the media at a later date e.g. job sharing, organ transplants: If you want to belong to an organization 'that has proven that the principle of education of rural women with up-to-date topics is as relevant today as it was 90 years ago, join a Women's Institute.
