Elwin Garland preaches to Brussels congregation BRUSSELS—On Sunday, April 30, Elwin Garland preached at the Brussels Mennonite Fellowship.

We can return to God if we open our whole heart with real signs of repentance, a real desire to change. There is no place for insiri- cerity, he continued. We can fool others or fool ourselves, but we can never fool God. Joel stressed the urgency for all - - young and old -- to repent. R -- creation will happen because God will honor His promises to heal and nurture His people, Mr. Garland continued. God, as creator, will re- pay us for the times the "locusts" have `eaten. When we repent our sins, we can praise God as we nev- er have praised Him before. A great healing will take place and we'll taste the "Honey of God", Mr. Garland concluded. For God has promised, "I will pour out my spirit on all people." All believ- ers will be saved.

May 13 is RPN Day, the day set aside to recognize the contribution of 35,000 Registered Practical Nurses to the health care system in Ontario. 1995 marks the completion of the first year BIPNs have had their new title. With the increasing complexity of health care, and an emphasis on community- based services, the skills of RPNs are in great demand. Their traditional role as integral partners in hospital and long term care is expanding to encompass a community-based need. RPNs are being asked to provide service in home care programs and support services, health departments, doctors' offices, foot care clinics, industrial settings and health education in the school system. As our slogan says, RPNs are "hands on nurses' in health care. On May 13, RPN Day, local Registered Practical Nurses will be conducting information events highlighting the role of the RPN. These events may include free blood pressure clinics, displays, or municipal proclamations. R PNs have a tremendous impact on the health of everyone. Everyone is invited • to show their support and appreciation for their local RPNs by participating in RPN Day activities.
