THANKSGIVING
ACTS 20:35 - There is more happiness in
giving than in receiving.
Only a few generous spirited souls fully
understand the truth contained in the
above text. Such people know that true
happiness is only contained in a person
who is capable of sharing and giving.
To share joyfully and generously is a sign
of true thankfulness and life. Clasping
selfishly, on the other hand, is a source
of misery and an indication of spiritual
death. An illustration from nature will
serve to demonstrate this principle.
In Israel, the two largest bodies of
water are the Sea of Galilee and the
Dead Sea. The Jordan River flows into
the Sea of Galilee from the north and
there continues its southward flow to
the Dead Sea. This constant flowing in
and flowing out is a source of abundant
life in and around the Sea of Galilee.
However, when the river empties itself
into the Dead Sea it is trapped as
there is no outflow of water. It is
this factor which makes the Dead Sea dead:
God's blessings will only be a source of
happiness and life if we alloy them to
flow through us to others, especially
those far less fortunate than we. To
take God's gifts and use them selfishly
will be a source of unhappiness andgrief
not only for ourselves but for others.
It is indeed 'more blessed to give than
to receive.'

Grade 8's Go Tripping
Two of the coldest days
so far this Fall, Mon-
day and Tuesday of last
week, Grade 8B went to
Camp Sylvan near Arkona.
Actually, it was fun.
The purpose of the trip
was part of the "Grade
8 Outdoor Ed. Program."
We played games -nd
observed nature and 4
slept in the original
Conestoga Wagons, and
nearly froze to death.
I saw some of the girls
in my wagon wearing
winter toques to bed.
We also went to a
camp near Camp Sylvan,
called Rock Glenito
hunt for fossils (and
get wet). There were
two water -falls there;
one was thirty feet
high and the other only
four feet. A few of
us stood in front of
the 30 foot falls which
were flowing quite
rapidly, and climbed to
the spot where the four
foot falls originated.
Monday night we stayed
up until 11:30 p.m.
and nattered until past
midnight. After stay-
ing up late we had to
get up early in time
for breakfast at 8:00
a.m. Uur cook, Monica,
cooked up some delicious
dishes for us.
We left the school
accompanied by our
principal, rr. Mathers,
and two Grade 8 teach-
ers , Mrs. Moffat and
Mr. Snell, arriving at
Rock Glen about 10:3.0
a.m, and to Camp Sylvan
at noon, in time for
lunch.
We left Camp on Tues.
at 1:50 arriving at
school around 2:50 p.m.
and then on to home to
sleep in our own beds
(which, by the way,
were much warmer than
the wagons).
