Canadians are perceived as servants of the world. Perhaps we, as a nation are perceived to be far more Christian than the statistics on church attendance in our country demonstrate. Pro- phets are not, perfect in- dividuals and I do not want to paint our nation in any sort of perfect colour. Jesus, himself, chose im- perfect people to be his disciples (in Matthew 1:9-13, for example Jesus not only calls a tax collector to follow him but the religious authorities of his day criticize Jesus for eating with tax col- lectors and other social out- casts.) 1 believe it is our nation's responsibility anct our respon- sibility, as Christian within that fabric, to support the well-being of peoples everywhere - no matter the cost for sacrificial love is the greatest force our world has ever seen! God loved the world so much he gave his on- ly Son; who showed us true love by allowing Himself to be used as our eternal Sacrifice; who through His example, calls us• to be in true com- munity of the world around us -Church service Sunday Ju- ly 8 at 10 a.m. will be combin- ed with Elltnvilit. at Elimville United Church. Church Service Rev. Robert Matheson was in charge of the combined church service on Sunday morning. He told the children's story entitled "Tur- ning Mountains Into Mole Hills". Mrs. Reg Hodgert was the organist. The sermon was entitled "Love - Sacrifice of Self". Sermon Our country has a very special place in the world community of nations. I do not mean we are noted for our material wealth; or that we are feared because of our brute strength as a nation. Other nations understand our perilous position - lying, geographically, directly bet- ween the two superpowers. Our position is viewed with sympathy, on one hand, and respect, on the other. The voice of Canada is perceived by many of the Third World nations as the voice of prophecy. Hosea 6:1-6 speaks of the role of the pro- phet as critic of his society. Our country's leaders have the opportunity to be prophets in the world pointing that in one year nations spend the equivalent of the entire debt of Third World nations! Paul, in Romans 4:18-25, reminds us Jesus came into the world What Every Family Should Know ONTARIO FUNERAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION About funerals and caskets Webster defines the word casket as "a small hox. especially. for jewels. 2. a cof- fin." In many of Shakespeare's plays. a casket is a small hox used for storing precious gems. In our culture with the evolution of the english language. we think of a casket as a hox in which a dead person's body is placed. it is usually oblong in shape. A coffin is tapered at the shoulders.and often from top to bottom. When someone we love dies. the only thing we have left of that person is the body. The personality is ab- sent. The hoxly is. for the most part. what we have recognii- ed that dead person by with our sense of sight while they were alive. Signifying our value of the person who died we therefore, have come to call the coffin. which is a first world term. a casket. We valued the dead person while they were alive and therefore place that w hich represents the, dead person's life. his body. in a container we call a casket. W'c must always remember. however. that a casket is only a container This container is what we use 10 hold the body of the deceased for the funeral ceremony. for transport and in the grave. When someone dies we MUM remember to place the emphasis on the exercise of the funeral process which will assist us in building a solid foundation for the grieving process. The grief process is an adjustment in emotional and physical investment and dependence from something or someone for whcse rela- tionship we have been depriv- ed. In the case of the death of a close friend or relative, this process takes from one year to eighteen months. The length of this grieving process depends on a myriad of things but mainly the amount of emo- tion we have invested in the deceased and our ability to grieve. The funeral process is an exercise which has evolv- ed. not because of the funeral director hut rather from human' need. This exercise will firmly establish in our hearts and minds that the per- son is dead while palliating our emotional pain through the sharing of our feelings during visitation. Once the fact of the death is established in our minds, we will he better ahlc to move productively. through the emotional detachment (or grief process) from the dead person to a point where we can remember his or her life with minimal emotional pain. When we think of a funeral let us not think of fan- cy buildings, cars or caskets, but rather of an exercise which has evolved from human need and will help us to Ilve a healthy emotional life even though we've lost that which is very precious to us, a human relationship.
