In supporting the survey Reeve Workman said the survey will show the developers where the road is and what land they have to develop. Councillors were undecid­ ed, however, if they felt the village should be responsible for the road. Councillor Greg Wilson felt if the street is on the village street allowance, it should be up to council to rebuild it but when asked, Mr. Hanly said that if the land was being developed under a plan of subdivision, all servicing costs, including the road, would be paid for by the developer. black and white flowers.

Sell Anything With WANTABS BY BOB BARNHART BLYTH CHURCH OF GOD In the Old Testament there are 60 prophecies concerning the Mes­ siah. Jesus at different times pointed to these prophecies as proof that he was the Messiah. Luke 24, 44 says “He said to them, ‘this is what I told you while I was with you. Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms’ ’’. Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies concering the Mes­ siah. Three of these prophesies ha<e to do with the Christmas season. The first one had to do with family lineage. The Messiah was to be a descendant of King David. In Matthew and Luke they both give a geneology. They differ though, this could be confusing until you realize that they are tracing the family geneology through different peo­ ple. Matthew’s account traces it through Joseph’s side of the fam­ ily. Luke traces his account from Mary’s side of the family. Both could trace their ancestry to King David. Jesus fulfilled that prophecy no matter which way you look at it. The second prophecy in the Old Testament was that he was to be born in Bethlehem. Luke’s gospel tells us that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The third prophecy was his manner of birth. The Messiah was to be born of a virgin. In Matthew’s gospel it tells us that Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus fulfilled these three and all the rest. Some people object and say it was just a coincidence that he fulfilled these. A man by the name of Peter W. Stoner wrote a book Jewitt praised for Bd. work Continued from page 1 teachers, then again there were elections, and the transfer of high school principals, which put unpre­ cedented pressure on you,’’ Mr. Allan stated to Mr. Jewitt. “You handled everything with thought­ fulness, agility and democracy. Further, your affiliation with a political party is well known, yet, you never let it cloud any issue and for that you deserve the highest praise.” Assuming the office of Chair, Mrs. Van den Broeck thanked the past Chairs that she has had the pleasure of serving under for their contributions to the Board. She also commended the board on their reputation of fairness and integrity. “We can meet any challenge that lies ahead.” CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AT BRUSSELS MENNONITE CHURCH SAT.

BRUSSELS MENNONITE CHURCH called “Science Speaks”. In the book he figured out the scientific probability of the prophecies being fulfilled by coincidence. This book was reviewed by the American scientific affilliation and found to be thoroughly sound. He figured it out for just eight of the prophecies. The probability was 1 in 10. That is one with seventeen zero’s after it. That is hard for me to comprehend. He used another illustration. Sup­ pose that 10” were silver dollars. You could cover the world and it would be two feet deep. Now take one silver dollar and mark it. Put it back in the pile and mix them all up.

The chances of that person doling that are the same as one person fulfilling just eight prophecies by coincidence. It be­ comes mind boggling when you think that there were 60 of them not just eight. The fulfilling of the prophecies is not the major point. They were his credentials. It is like going to university. University is an end in itself. By graduating you have the credentials to do a job. The same for Jesus they were his credentials. His job is found in Matthew, chapter one, verse 21: “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins”.
