GEORGE'S ANGLICAN CII!'RCH At a recent meeting of the Goderich and District Ministerial Association, the Reverend Robert Ball opened the devotional period with the reading of Psalm 8, which is a favourite of mine. In fact, it was the text of the first sermon I preached - years before I was ordained. "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man that thou are mindful of him? When I was a teenager, I became in- terested in the stars and planets, and bor- rowed books from the library to copy lists of variable stars, and the data concerning stars and other celestial objects. I have the workbook still, but much of the scientific in- formation is outdated. I wondered then, as I marvel still, how it is that human beings can be so clever as to predict, for example, the return of Halley's Comet, and yet be so in- significant in comparison with the wonders MINISTER'S STUDY of the heavens and the vast distances of space. Until the time of Copernicus (1543) it was universally assumed that all the stars, in- cluding our sun, the planets, and everything else circled around the earth - that is to say, us. We had to learn enough humility to ac- cept the fact that everything does not revolve around us, a humility expressed so long ago by the Psalmist. But then, of course, the sky was much more obvious than it is to us. Now there is so much glare from artificial light, that only the brightest objects in the sky are easily seen. With all the excitement being caused by the return of Comet Halley, perhaps we will take another look at the heavens above us, and wonder at our place in God's creative plan.

Sheds a gracious lady, and it is a pleasure to be in her com- pany. Staff and residents at Huronview ex tend greetings to Mrs. Logan, and hope that she will have many more happy days, and continued good health. On October 28 music filled the auditorium when old-time tunes were played by Marie Flynn and the Huron Strings. The audience heard the lilting strains of old and new favorites played by this energetic group. Ceramic classes are held each Tuesday in the craft room, and many interested residents are learning the basics of cleaning and painting. On October 30 people from Unit 3 took off on a mystery tour. The first stop was at Goderich, St. Christopher's Beach. From there, the tour went to the end of the North Road to the harbor and the project which is now underway at the waterfront. The group dined out in Bayfield before heading home. Children from Grade 1 of Clinton Public School with their teachers, visited Huron - view on October 30. The young people all decked out in Halloween costumes, danced and sang their way into the hearts of the au- dience. Prizes were given to first and second entrants in various categories. The children received drinks and cookies and mingled with the residents. Grace Duggan and Julia Jerry thanked this happy little group of children for entertaining. Bowling enthusiasts visited the Crown Bowling Lanes Clinton, for their weekly shot at the nine pins. 44.°C.490, �, s ONLr COMp4r ALLIGNMENT RACK 4140 Which Includes,..
