George Cowan delivers farewell message to the readers
• BY G.E. COWAN,
DUNGANNON-NILE
UNITED CHURCH
This is my last article for
this column. After 43 years
of continuous service in
education and the ministry,
we feel very much in need of
a few months free from any
full-time responsibility and
will be leaving Dungannon at
the end of June. So, what
does a person say in a
farewell message to the
readers?
First of all, we leave this
area realizing what a
privilege it has been to serve
again in Huron County
where I started my career. I
think that many who live
here don't fully realize what
a wonderful place it is to live
and raise your children. The
old values of morality are
more in evidence here than
_in__any-other place a have _
lived. I believe that the • ma-
jority of the people, deep
down in their hearts, still
believe in God and His love.
But I would be less than
'realistic if I didn't admit that
the "humanist" influence is
strong and that there are
many individuals, even in
this county, who believe that
they can make it on their
own without God's help, and
who judge the rightness or
wrongness of their actions
by the pleasure it brings to

them at the time.
I fully realize that there
are many people who do not
think of the welfare of others
ahead of their own. And we
know that this attitude has
hurt so many lives, especial-
ly those of children, through
marriage breakdowns that
have resulted from such an
attitude.
But I am really encourag-
ed by the generation of
teenagers who may have ex-
perienced enough of the evil
caused by the "me" attitude,
to turn us back once more to
living in God's world.
Recently, I was discussing
our' United Church creed
with a class of teenagers
preparing for confirmation
in our church. The creed
states that we are not alone,
that we live in God's world.
And one girl said, "But we
don't live in God's world".
When asked. to explain, she
said this: "We don't live in
God's world if we shut God
out of our lives". As we con-
tinued the discussion, one
boy described God as the
Spirit of Love in the world
and in our hearts. What
depth of wisdom and percep-
tion of life, both practical
and spiritual,, these young
people have! Some of them
have seen God shut out. They
know what it means.
And I challenge -each one
of you to ask yourself: Do I
live in God's world? When I
- wake up in the morning, is
my first thought about
others and how I can serve
them or is it about myself
and my own desires or pro-
blems? Do I do my work, no

She said one in ten women

clergymen. The new Family
Law Reform Act introduced
in . 1978 has put men and
women on equal footing —
family assets may be split
equally but also the debts
may be split down the mid-
dle. Mr. Skinner stated that
legal advice must be in-
dividual. He advised anyone
in such a situation to get
good i[egat advice — rely, on
it — act upon it. He also tlalk-
ed of the importance of
women to make a will.

The second' speaker was
John M. Skinner, Q.C. of
Stratford, who spoke on
"Family Law".. He stated
"Family 'Law" is a broad
term covering many topics.
Lawyers are able to advise
women as to their rights but
are not marriage counselors.
This part should be left to
matter how monotonous or
tedious, cheerfully, out of
love for other members of
my family?
If you can answer yes to
these questions, then you
have God and His Love in
your heart and you are living
in God's world. And
miraculously, your work and
your life will no longer be
monotonous or tedious. You
have found the secret of life
which Jesus pointed out
when he said, "He that
loseth his life for my sake
shall find it," (Matthew
10:39)
If both you and 'your
spouse have found that
secret, then you have truly
found the kingdom of heaven
here on earth and life for you
and your family will be hap-
py, no matter what hard-
ships you are required to
face.
But if one of you is living in
a selfish world of his or her
own, with God shut out, then
your situation is difficult.
Life may be real hell. It may

be necessary to end that
partnership, even though
God intended that man and
woman should become one
and remain so for life. And if
you must, don't feel guilty.
But before you take such a
drastic step, turn to a Bible
and read again I Corin-
thians, chapter 13, where it
says, "Love never gives up,
and its faith, hope, and pa-
tience never fail." Find
yourself a church home if
you haven't already got one,
get your children into the
church, read the Bible, and
pray as you've never prayed
before believing that God
will answer. (Mark 11: 23-
26).
Above all, remember the
promise of Jesus: Lo, I am
with you always, even unto
the end.
May God bless you and
give you peace.
`Toughlode' helps
"Toughlove" is coming to
Seaforth.
David and Phyllis York of
Toughlove Associates of
Toronto, a self-help program
for parents troubled by
teenage behaviour, will be at
Seaforth District High
School Fri. May 7 at 7 p.m. to
give a presentation. If
enough interest is indicated
in establishing the program
in this area a group will be
formed to do so. Tickets are
$3 in advance or $5 at the
door and will be available at
The Huron Expositor, SDHS
and Seaforth Community
Hospital. All area parents
and teens are welcome.
"Toughlove" at SDHS is
co-sponsored by the local
high school and hospital,
Seaforth Public School, the
local branch of The Royal
Canadian Legion and the
Seaforth branch of the Lions
Club. Terry Johnston of
SDHS is helping to co-
ordinate, __--.----_-_.___.__._.___
He says "Toughlove"
offers an alternative method
of parenting presented by
social workers..and a
teacher, that is anoffshoot of
a group which started in the
United States. Mr. ' Johnston
says the notion to bring
"Toughlove" here surfaced
last fall when parents and
community leaders became
concerned at the large
number of motor vehicle
fatalities in the area, many
involving young people and
related to alcohol. He adds
"Toughlove" has become
popular very quickly in
Canada and its success has
been phenomenal".
"Toughlove" is: A program
helping parents troubled by
the destructive behaviour of
their teenagers in school, in
the family, with drugs and
alcohol and -or with the law;
It deals with stresses and
strains on today's families,
the "ME" generation, drug
and alcohol use and abuse,
and today's adolescents:
It asks you to choose in
which ways you will love
your teenager - support,
responsibility, con-
frontation, action, co-
operation, demands, ex-
cuses, escape, denial,
helplessness, indulgence,
bribery;
It will help you- to use
community resources like
your church, friends, neigh-
bours, school, public
agencies, police;
It teaches you to face a
crisis, take a stand, find
support, demand co-
operation,
overcome ob-
_stacles, meet_challenges;
It will help you to develop
new strengths to be able to
give your young person firm,
selective, loving support.
The "Toughlove"
brochure also says the group
does: public speaking about
the program; supplies
manuals, printed materials,
etc.; networks parents with
their community peers;
helps groups get started and
gives community orientation
sessions; provides training •
to groups of parents .in
"Toughlove" techniques; •
returns for later follow-up
consultation and training
based on' a group's
assessment of this need;
and, offers private " con-
sultation.
