Allen Hern of the Evangelical Baptist Church, Port, Perry opened the dis- cussions by presenting the topic that had been assigned to him, "Leading to decision making -- Church members of Sons of God". It was, he said, a topic close to his heart. He then spoke of his years as a church worker before he be- came a Christian and outlined the need of, and advantage in, becoming sons of God. Every real child of God ought to be a member of a local church was the conclusion of Pastor Allen Hern. However, it was pointed out that it is possible to be a member of a local church ----Obituary Alma G. Reesor was born in Bristol, England, on Sept- ember 25, 1910, the second child of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Blight. Al, as she was known to her relatives and friends, was brought to Canada by her parents in 1912 and for the first few years was raised in Toronto, Ont. Following the first Great War, her family moved to Port Perry where she received the rest of her education. From a very early age Alma took an active part in the community and church. As a member of the Port|, Perry United Church she sang in the choir, taught Sunday School and worked with the youth. Perhaps her best known occupation was her work for the Port Perry Star, which began while operated by the late'. Samuel Farmer, and continued, on a free-lance basis, until it was impossible for 'her to carry on due to illness. She also wrote for many years for the Oshawa Times. In November 1934, Alma married Charles Reesor and they took up residence to- gether on Bigelow Street in Port Perry where she lived for the remainder, of her life. Her work with the Mission Band, (at the United Church); the Eastern Star, Blue Ray Chapter; the United Church Women, and the Scout Mothers' Auxiliary meant a great deal to her and she devoted a great deal of her time and efforts to their causes, As a charter member of the Blue Ray Chapter, Eastern Star, she served on the execut- ive for ten years. During those years she held the posit- ion of Press Secretary and also Treasurer. Since her first operation for cancer four years ago, she was able to return home to England for the only time, as well as to journey to Florida. Even though most of these last years were times of suffering she remained strong in spirit until the last. -She-appreciated the thought- fulness and care of her doct- ors, nurses and friends, espec- ially during the long, difficult times of the past year. - Alma is survived by her loving husband, Charlie, her two sons, Danny (Agincourt) and Larry (at home). Her grandson, Christopher, and her tiny grandaughter, Charlene cheered her with their visits almost to the last, and will sadly miss her. Also surviving is a brother, Thomas A. Blight, of Don Mills. An infant sister Frances, predeceased her. . Funeral services were held | at McDermott - Panabaker Chapel, Eastern Star Service on June 10, and final tribute, conducted by Rev. M.

Mrs. Olive Dusty entertain- ed her family and some other relatives on Sunday after de- coration services at Wick. Mrs. Paul Saulnier held a successful Tupper Ware party at her home last Thurs- day evening, without really being a child of God and the teacher has a responsibility to not just com- municate scripture knowledge but to take the student on to see why Jesus Christ died. According to the World of God, our minds, emotions and wills tend naturally to see ourselves as all-sufficient with need of nothing else. Being therefore naturally inclined to trust in one's self rather than God, we are really faced with a decision for or against Christ and His atoning sacrifice. Only as our wills are surrendered to the will of Christ do we become truly the children of God. After a question and dis- cussion period, Rev. Wm. Black, Presbyterian Church, Port Perry took over the organ and assisted by Pastor Hern led a song service. It was truly a spirit filled experience. Rev. Reg. Rose of the Anglican Church of the Ascen- sion, Port Perry most ably developed the topic '""The Teacher - (Christ) - (pupil) * (Christ) (school, home, friends, work, church) - Christ. Mr. Rosé stated that the church school or Sunday school has three areas of con- cern. The first is the teacher, and the process of teaching. The verb to teach takes a double object, i.e. to teach what? and to teach whom? Church schools or Sunday schools have traditionally placed heavy emphasis on the "what". Thus most of the older courses in Sunday schools followed the pattern of secular education in that they were content oriented. The philosophy of educat- ion -has undergone -changes and developments and in religious education changes found expression in the new curricula that the various denominations have developed. The content of Bible and doctrine is still these| present but the poessaol education is thought to have more concerns than merely transmitting information, The Sunday school becomes concerned with. the develop- ment of the pupil and here the "whom" of education enters the picture. Briefly we can think of the "what' of education in terms of words and facts and the '"'whom" of education in terms of emotions and relationships thus the Christian Sunday school teacher must be con- cerned with the pupil develop- ing a relationship with the teacher, his fellow pupils and ultimately with God through Christ Jesus. Mr. Rose provided New Testament illustrations with regard to these two aspects of teaching. A brief period of discuss- ion and questions followed and then Mr. Rose dealt with the second concern: of the Sunday school, i.e. the pupil. The teacher must meet the pupil where the pupil is and must be prepared to con- sider the stage of development of the pupil with regard to such questions as age, skills, (continued on page 21) GOING OVERSEAS You'll Need A PASSPORT PHOTO Contact Peter Hvidsten 985-7383 PORT PERRY STAR ISLAND MARINA 985-7671 ON LAKE SCUGOG 985-2707 "YOUR AREA HEADQUARTERS FOR SALES AND SERVICE OF Mercury Motors, Grew, Cutter and Springbok Boats, Trailex _ Aluminum Trailers, Docking Facilities, Slip Rentals, Boat Accessories WEEKEND SPECIAL MERCURY OUTBOARD ENGINES New!
