,Church serviee was held
Wednesday afterneOn when
Rev, T,A.A. Duke of „First
Presbyterian Church tat* the
service, The service opened
with the Hymn. **Blessed'
Assurance" Oh hvmn
were Rock of Ages. Take
Time to be Holdy, Trust and
Obey, 0 Master . Let Me
Walk with Thee."
Rev. Duke read for the
Scripture lesson, $t, John
Chap. 14, one of the most
popular passage of Scripture
in which Christ makes pro-
mises to these who believe.
REad this chapter in whcih
.Jesus makes promises to his
followers, ,
They •are many and he
gives assurances which takes
care of all our needs and
troubles. The speaker con -s
• stantiy referred to the
wording of the hymns to
strengthen the theme of his
text,
' In this popular chapter,
'Jesus promises in Verses 2,
• 3, 4, a place•for an eternal
home for tis.
In Vs, 6 He says 1 am the
Way, the Truth, and the life
and he will show es the Way
to this Eternal Home.
Mrs, Duke came for the
service and Mrs.. Robt.
McMillan was at the piano, .

Other points of interest.
• Here 'are some St. Patrick
'ramblings.' This is St.
Patrick's Day. It lived up to
tradition as it is a beautiful
sunny day. 1 have a pot of
Shamrock which was given to
• Me by one of my pupils many
years ago. 'It was just a few
shoots in a cup .witli a little
earth in the bottom of the
cup. •

1 repotted it and. nuried it
• aldrig. It became a beautiful
plant with pink flowers. It
renews itself with fresh
•sprouts when the old ones
arecut off, Today 1 cut off
some leaves and gave
them around to those who
wished to wear a shamrock.
The leaves had all drooped
over and one day I noticed
•tiny new shoots coming from
the dried up middle of the
plant. The Litt le prouts were
about a quarater of an inch
high, In the last week, as if
by magic, those little spropts

inches.

formerresident here who

many of the Irish went across
to Scotland so who knows?
• When at schooll a large
collection of Irish legends.
• One of them said that St.
•Patrick went to Ireland from
England when a young boy of
16 years. So it seems the
people of- the British Isles
have more in common than
• their location,:
•Welsh people are the,
original people in England
known as the ancient
Britons. When •the • Jutes,
Angles, and Saxons invaded,
• Britain they took refuge in
the mountains in Wales and
thus saved themselves. °Rad
your history to verify this.
• Queen Boadiced was their
brave Queen.

There is no question that Me
1978 realized net fang,
income was up 30% Over
1977 but there are two things
that this bald statement of
fats deteS not shOt.r. One- is
that a significant portion Of
this increase occurred be-
cause farmers sold :More in
•1978 than they did in 1977. it
was the amount they sold not
jest the price they received
• that pu.t the income figurvs
The Other concealed point
is that in 1976 and 1977,
realized net farm income
declined 25%. Moat farmers
will agree that a good year is
very nice indeed but what
really cOantS is' a good five
ecline
Year average, for many
farmers in this province
much ef last year's increaee
is only going to offset losses
in previous vars. if you take

YearS WM incomes do not
look that good. This !Vet*,
Most notiCably to beef
farmers. Their five year
average leaves much to be
•;Jolted. In fact for the three
years ending last fall, many
of the beef producers wept
into debt, hanging on by the
skin of their teethAt will take
inore than one good year just
to pay Off the leans. It wellbe
a while yet before they can,

knows what the situation will
be then.
