Baan family greets at Duff's service
Teresa Baan and her children,
Allison, Scott and Craig, greeted
worshippers at Duff's United
Church on Oct. 21. Joan Tuchlinsky
welcomed everyone to the service
and invited everyone to join in the
singing of the Introit.
Following the call to worship she
made the announcements. The annu-
al turkey supper will be on Nov. 7 at
the Brussels arena. Anyone wanting
tickets contact any member of the
WUCC. The Walton Youth Group
Rake and Run Sleepover will take
place Oct. 27-28. Walton/Bluevale
pastoral charge meeting will be Oct.
25 at 8 p.m. at Duff's. Don't forget
the roast beef supper on Oct. 28. The
WUCC mystery tour will take place
Nov. 3. Contact Judy Emmrich or
Patty Banks if you are planning to
go.
Graeme Craig was the scripture
reader for the service.
Ms Tuchlinsky gave a sermon she
found over the internet that talked
about the persistent widow which
was one of the scripture readings.
The sermon was from Norman Seli
from Enniskillen and Tyrone United
Churches. The name of the reflection
was titled, The Judge — A Narrative
Sermon.
'I want you to meet a man. An
older man; he's seen the world, but
doesn't just watch ... He's a judge.'
As a young man, as a young lawyer
and later as a judge, he had high
hopes of changing the world, of
making a big difference. His ruling's
were fair and just ... people's lives
were made better.
He surprised people with his deci-
sions; ,he could see it in their eyes as
he rendered his rulings ... the pow-
erful were often stopped in his court,
held back so that the small could
move forward; widows were remem-

FROM WALTON
I had a chance this past week to
meet Isabel Pelloux who is staying
as a bed and breakfast guest at Mary
Humphries.
Isabel is from Boston and she is
here to help her mother Mrs. Dr.
Stephens at Huronlea, celebrate her
103rd birthday, Oct. 22. On behalf of
the community of Walton and
Brussels I would like to wish her. a
very happy birthday.

the second 10-week session.
bered, wrongs were righted and
everyone got their day in his court.
His view and mercy were broad ...
his courage and strength without
end. •
But nothing happened. He didn't
change the world. As his hair
thinned, so too, did his view and his
mercy. As his eyes dimmed, so too,
did his courage and conviction. So
many people, so many cases, so
many sleepless nights.
Yet, the forgotten were still forgot-
ten, the hungry were still there.
Injustice still seemed to be the rule.
The powerful won out or waited out
the weak. The rich got richer and the
poor got poorer.
He has sat a morning in court, lis-
tening, but barely hearing, judging
but not really caring. He knows how
many more months, days and hours
lie between him and retirement.
In short the world has wearied
him, beaten him up and almost left
him for dead. He remembers as a
young student debating with fellow
students as to whether God was
dead. Later thinking that they didn't
need God. That was a child's thing.
He continued to talk about some of
his cases, some wrong decisions that
he had made.
Enters a widow. She has no
lawyer. Her brother-in-law is kicking
her out of her house. He held the
mortgage for the house when his
brother was alive. Now that he is
dead he wants to se.11 the house and
he can't do that with the widow in it.
It had been her home for 40 years.
She has no paperwork. He didn't
even listen to her. No lawyer, no
paperwork, get lost.
The next day she showed up in
court but she wasn't on his docket so
he ignored her. She came to him and
asked for him to help her. She
showed up everyday for two weeks.
'Please sir, give me justice,' she
said. He continued to ignore her but
he couldn't get her out of his mind.
Until one day when she had nothing.
No one noticed her except to make
fun of him. They were teasing him
about his new girlfriend. then he
realized that standing in that court-
room, day after day, sheimade him
listen, not by bluster or bravado, not
by power or influence, not by
strength of argument ... just by ask-
ing again and again. A still quite
voice asking him to do the right
thing. Not save the world, not feed
all of the hungry or rescue all of the
poor ... just to do the right thing this
time; in this instance. Today.
He didn't change the world but he
did meet God.
