Thurialo A OrItiaS 9 p.m. Kennebec, Cobbler, Red Chieftain, Sebago and Superior THE BRUSSELS POST, APRIL 19, '1978 — 13 Missionory'from Zambia tells Blu~vale 'WI of life in, Africa Corresnondent Mrs.' Joe Walker 357-3558 The weather's co-operation, the stimulatiokand excitement of Spring's return, and the excellent reputation of the guest speaker- exerted a prompting force on the many who attended the Thank- offering meeting of the W. M.S. in Bluevale Presbyterian Church. The president, Mrs. Glenn Colley,, used as her call to worship aprose selection entitled, The Festival of Joy, which emphasiz- ed the resurrection story. Devotions by Mrs. William Elston gave prominence to the resurrection of the "soul, using Scripture verses from Mark 16: 1-8. She simplified the under- standing of this tremundous miracle by comparing bodies with a watch. It ticks. Remove the case. It still ticks. Our body is a case and the soul inside lives on even though its case, the body, dies, she said. She said it requires deep faith to believe in the resurrection. Mrs. Grace Richardson, was introduced as a former teacher and farmer's wife near White- church, and now missionary teacher at Sakeji School in the north-west corner of Zambia. Her excellent slides clearly depicted this part of Africa as a great land of beauty, colour, and luxuriant growth with grass 15 feet tall and readily susceptible to fire. Leaves on the trees are colour- ed in the spring and turn green as 4,; the seasons advance. The are ants of all kinds with homes of. unique structure, and these creatures are a great source of protein food. Various sorts of snakes abound but children at the school are more interested in seeing the hen one may have swallowed than the snake itself. Gasoline is $2.25 a gallon, so many bicycles are in use. A main food is manior mush which is not so bad if eaten with lots of relish. Mushrooms and fish are plentiful. It is considered impolite to watch your guest eat, so as a guest in a native home, one is left alone to consume refreshments. To refuse what one is served is also in poor taste. Mrs. Richardson asked, "What would you do about caterpillars?" Twins In the past twins were belileved to be possessed with ev it spirits ' and were thrown away, but not so now. Hairdressing is an intricate procedure as multiples of tightly braided corkscrews are twined into high coils on top of the head, but one styling lasts for three weeks. Mrs'. Richardson agrees her task as a missionary-teacher is quite a pleasant one. Sakyi is a boarding school begun by Dr. and Mrs. Walter Fisher in 1925. Most of the students are children of staff missionaries from various countries, with Agricans kept down to about 10% and these are the off-spring of the well-to-do or official African. Besides the usual studies required they are taught sewing, knitting and various crafts. An Olympic-sized swimming pool provides for regular lessons in that sport. Music lessons on piano and guitar is a part of each day's program. They have gardens Where vegetables and fruit are grown with pineapples being a specialty. Every Tuesday is market day when they sell their extra produce. Dental care is provided Special days include programs, birthday parties, fireworks, tree- climbing, rowing dut-out canoes in the river. A common form of punishment for misconduct is marching around the playground. The speaker was thanked by Mrs. Wrn. Mundell.
