Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, January 31, 1990-9 Christian Corner by Rev. Marg West What is faith? Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things flot seen. (Heb. 11:1) Websters describes faith as "ýunquestioning belief especially in God, complete trust or reliance." Ini other words we have to have faith (unquestionîng belief iri God) to believe we have what we hope for, even tbough we don't see what we hope for now. God wantsus to trust in Him 1000/. To be able to do that we must renew our minds. Eph. 4:23, "And be renewed in the spirit of your minds." The only way we can renew our miinds, is by reading the word of God and understanding it. (Rom. 10:17) "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by Word of God" In the above scripture Heb. 11: 1, it's talking about faith to believe NOW not romorrow or some other time. NOW. We have to believe when we pray we receive NOW. God honours faith. "But without faitb it is impossible to please Him 0 0 0 (God)." Heb. 11:6 Faith is trusting God when we have prayed for finances and the bank book is ini the red. We don't look at the bank book if we have prayed and we believe, we trust God. If we have faith, God honours faith. The answer has got to corne because God's word is true. Number 23:19 tells us that "God is flot a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent had he said, and shal flot do it, or bath He spoken, and shail He flot make good." Promises, the- world is full of great and beautiful promises. We must have faith to believe for themn and we must have a personal rela- tionship with Jesus to obtain them. Jesus is Lord if you will trust Him to be. Bible Study- Tuesday 7:30, phone 983-5962. Questions or Comments? Write Box 179, Orono. throughout the area.

Margarete King, Chairperson of the' Elementary Teachers' Profes- sional Development Day Commit- tee, and Vice principal of S.T. Worden Public School, explains the focus of the day is to igblight the importance of arts in an adult's life. "Through the arts, teachers and students can experience enrîchment, stress release. personal growth, and pure enjoyment." "By integrating the arts into the curriculum, we expand a student's understanding of the full range of subjects such as science, literature, & perfolrmer even drafting."1 1Besides the keynote address, the day includes a number of worksbops. One, of them is Use Your Brain, presented by Val Wright, a Principal with the Ottawa Board of Education. In her activîty based presentation, she will discuss recent braîn research and its im- plications for education. For exçam- pIe, with computers possibly in- creasing the so-called 'left brain' skills, an increased emphasis may be needed on 'right brain' develop- ment.
