But couniciliors wercn't wiiiing to wait any longer. "This is now a pond with no watcr," aaid Councilior Waiiy Hunter. "Irn not prepared to put Uic job off." They aiso asked for assurances that enough sediment wouid be rcmoved to, enaure Uic inva- sive milfoi - which chokes out native pond species - doesn't return. And they objected to what Uicy pcrccived as iii-treatnscnt aBthei handa of Uic Town.

Sev *ce t re Ic ti ARE YOU AFRAID 0F aTHUf DAHMYlb Severai years ago, a weil-known Television Circus Show devcloped a Bengal Tiger act. Like the rest of the show, it was donc live before a large studio audience. During one broadcast taping, the tiger tramner went int the cage with several Bengals toi do a routine performance. The door was lockcd behind him, the spotiights highlighted the cage, the TV cameras moved un close and the audience watched in suspense as the tramner skillfully put the tigers through their paces. ho the middle of the perfor- mance, however, the worst possible fate befeil the act. The iights wcnt out. For twenty or thirty long seconds, the tramter was locked in with the tigers. In the darkness, thcy could sec him, but hie could not sec themn. The whip and a small kitchen chair seemed meagre p rotection under these circumstances. However, when the iights came back on they illuminated the fact that the tramner survived the incident and hie calmly finishcd the performance. In an interview aftcrwards, he was askcd how he feit knowing that the tigers could sec him but he couid flot see tbemn. He admitted bis initial chilling fear but pointed out that tbe tigers did not know that he couid not sec them. He said: 1I just kept cracking my whip and taiking to them until tbe iights came on. They neyer knew that 1 couid not see them as weil as they could see me." This experience gives us a vivid parable of humais life. At somte point, we ail face some formn of terrifyîng tigers in the dark. Many may face fear constantiy. Countless individuais cope daily with interniai probiemrs that are capable of destroying them. How persons respond to crises often determines the measure of success they will enjoy in the end. Faithi is responding with trust and confidence, deciaring that: "I can do al things through Christ who gives me strength." Faith says: "Be boid and of great courage for 1 the Lord am with you." No matter whatyou are facing in the midst of your personai darkness, let me encourage you to, pantner with God. He will not leave you alone, rather, hie wil give you the strength to make it MILTON S SEVENTH-DAY ÀoegL ADVENTIST CHURCH Welcornes you t0 Hugh Foster Hall, 43 Brown St. Milton Sat. 9:30 a. mn. - Sabbath School Sat. 11:00 arn.- Divine Service Corne and join us for worship Cail for rnîd-week prayer service inf.
