EACH FRIDAY Free -Will Offering 11111.1] 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 SUPERIOR MEMORIALS ESTABLISHED OVER 50 YEARS 1 Goderich Area Representative ROBERTMcCALLUM 11 Cambria Rood Goderich 524-7345 Clinton-Seaforth Area Representative MICHAEL FALCONER 153 High Street Clinton 482-9441 MINISTER'S STU ' 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 UCW Presbyterial Mission .With Faith and Justice wasthe theme of a special event held in Main Street United Church, Mit- 'chell, for the Huron -Perth„ Presbyterial of United Church Women.

The first speaker of the evening was Mrs. Kim Decker of Anselma House, Kitchener, which is a Home for Battered Women in situa- tions of domestic violence. She said one in ten women are at some time beaten or subjected to violence from their husbands or fromthe social workers and 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 evening closed with worship taken by the ladies of West -Huron. This was bas- ed on Micah 6:6-8. Elsie Williams, . Gowanstown, gave courtesy remarks. followed by the benediction by the Reverend Don Pletsch of Mitchell. During the evening books for sale were on display.

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.

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.
