If Israelites obeyed God's word. then God would not put any of the Egyptians diseases on them. We also have to live in God's word for physical and spiritual well being. Obeying God's word makes good medical sense. Rev. Roger Mason introduced Gary Schlegel as the guest speaker Sunday evening. Mr. Schlegel spoke from Philippians 3:8-13. He stated itis the law in man's nature to achieve put there by God. People have always wanted to achieve happiness. But the greater accomplishment is to know God that comes from a deep relation- ship with God. To do this one has to forsake the past, counting it as loss, leaving it to know about Jesus. Looking back at past mistakes can destroy a person's life, while looking forward to a future with a more intimate relationship with Christ brings newness of life. . Because God is a God of abun- dance, He gives abundance of new life_ . A new Christian needs to purpose to know God more, to spend more time with God, so that he will ap- preciate Him more and love Him more. This brings one to feel God is a friend, to trust Him, and feel com- fortable with Him. The Bible is a message of a God who wants people who want Him. ! nua�e-youth-planto-enjoy January l2. all !hose cross country skiing, Saturday pro- viding there is enough snow.

Eighteen per cent is an impressive return for any investment. But what makes it truly significant — particularly for Retirement Savings Plans is time. Because it's the long-term record that counts. Which is why we believe Industrial Growth Fund is an excellent RSP investment. Over the past 15 years, this top -performing investment Fund has "looked both ways" to average 18% in compound annual returns—and achieved total growth of 1263% in net asset value since inception. It's done well in the short- term, too, averaging 19% annually for the most recent three years. That's exceptional performance. But at Dominion Securities Pitfield it's the 15 years that count for more with us.
