Church's Youth Group
leads morning service
The morning service at Aubum
Missionary Church on Sunday,
Nov. 24 was highlighted by the
dedication of Daniel Packer, son of
Richard and Lynne Packer.
Dianne and David Baan sang a
very fitting duet ‘Breath on Me
Breath of God’.
Pastor Came's message “A sure
Thing” was taken from II Peter I:
1-21. We were not eye witnesses of
Jesus’ glory but we can speak of
His promises. We should be sure of
eternity and eternal things. Heb. 9:
27 speaks of after death the judge
ment. After death a Christian will
open his eyes to the wonders of
heaven.
A sure Scripture: Some people
think the Bible is a myth but holy
men of God were inspired to write.
In secular history Isaiah prophesied
and it was fulfilled 100 years later.
A sure Saviour: Jesus said that
He came to seek and to save those
that were lost. Even the mockers
attested that He was the Son of
God.
A sure Salvation: The answer to
our need is salvation. It has been
said Christians die well.
They have a sure Saviour and a
sure salvation.
Next Sunday, Dec. 1 Jim and Pat
McDowell of Kitchener who
recently returned from missionary
service in Nigeria will be at Aubum
Missionary Church. There will be a
Nigerian Fashion Parade. Refresh
ments will be served afterwards.
All are welcome. This is a very
unusual fashion parade and will be
of great interest to young and old
alike.

November 21 with 11 members and
two guests present.
The President Evelyn Merrill
opened with a poem entitled
“Friendly Things”, The Ode and
Mary Stewart Collect and O
Canada was sung with Marjorie
McDougall as pianist. The minutes
were read by Betty Archambault in
the absence of the secretary Kay
Lapp and approved as read.
The roll call “A lesson you
learned from a younger person”
was answered. Tena Empey gave
the treasurer's report. Betty also
read the correspondence. Some
were thank you notes from
organizations. It was decided to
send $25 to the Blind Mission and
$25 to the Alzheimers foundation.
Evelyn read a reading on “My
Grandad”. Some things were filed
for a later date, Children's
Hospital, London need sweater and
bonnet outfits for babies. Letters
were read for speakers for
upcoming meetings and about the
Dairy Pricess and one on breast
cancer. The card report was given
by Jean Plaetzer. The meeting was
then turned over to Erma
Cartwright, convenor of Education
and Cultural activities. She
introduced the guest speaker
Eleanor Smith who showed slides
of the Arctic and gave a
commentary. They had made two
trips there, one in 1984 and one in
1988 as her daughter and son-in-
law were there. She said the
temperature was minus 38 degrees
on May 24 when they landed there
by plane and had to be taken to
Coral Harbour by a large type box
sled with a top on it and pulled by a
snowmobile. She said it was the
bumpiest ride she had ever had.
There were 100 homes and were
surrounded by water. Food and fuel
were brought in by barge once a
year. There were only two cars, one
hotel, one nursing station, two
stores and four churches. There was
a lot of fishing and hunting done.
They hunted caribou, polar bears
and rabbits. To fish they use a
broom handle with a string and
hook. Their hobbies were soap
carving and needle work taught by
elders. Their school is very modem
and her daughter was a teacher
there. Tena Empey thanked Mrs.
Smith for the excellent pictures.
Institute Grace was sung. Lunch
was served by Marjorie
McDougall, Martha Daer and
Violet Dumin. A prize for having
her Christmas cake made already
went to Evelyn Merrill. The closest
birthday was Eppie Lawrence and
the one that was going the farthest
for Christmas was Tena Empey. A
social time was enjoyed.

Constitutional
reform is about
many things.
But mostly it’s about you
As Canadians, we are now facing one of the
most important challenges in our history.
Proposals have been put forward by the
Government of Canada to improve our
Constitution. These proposals, for a more
united and prosperous Canada in which all
Canadians can feel at home, are currently
being reviewed by a special parliamentary
committee. They will also be considered by a
series of conferences run by independent
Canadian organizations.
Some of the proposals include:
♦ a Canada clause that speaks of our hopes
and dreams as Canadians, our values,
our diversity, our tolerance and our
generosity of spirit
♦ recognizing the right of aboriginal peoples
to govern themselves while being protected
by Canadian law
♦ ensuring recognition of Quebec’s distinc
tiveness and of minority language groups
♦ reforming the Senate to make it elected,
effective and much more equitable than
it is now
♦ strengthening Canada’s economic union
so Canadians can work and conduct business
anywhere in the country
♦ guaranteeing property rights.
Get involved and find out more about how
these proposals will shape the future
