Page 4, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, August 1, 1984 She jae Word Heat Wave by LYNNE BADGER How can you tell a Schreiber person from a Terrace Bay person?

Often when things are written Friday and published Wednesday, things happen to change the situation and the original complaint has little meaning. I sincerely hope that between now and the time this is published ago I have been watching children shivering at their swimming lessons. Then it came . . the HEAT WAVE. It was actually hot. There was no fog and very little wind. Someone at my baseball game that night had the nerve to complain about the heat! It has been a very cool summer here other than the allged heat wave which only lasted about 24 hours and could be referred to as a "'ripple"' rather than a "wave". I felt a little better this week when I learned that points south east, i.e. Parry Sound/Muskoka have been cooler on the average than usual. I think I anthe (6 by REV.B.M. - FELLINGER Though the Pente- costal Assemblies of Canada is still a fairly young denomination, its vision is as energetic and broad in scope as was that of the disciples on the day of Pentecost; the day from which the 'denomination derives its name. It is striving to do its part, along with the other great church groups of our day to reach the world with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. For a change of pace in the column I thought I would just share with you some recently re- leased information to give an idea of the various areas that Pentecostal churches are involved in. At present in Canada there are 999 congregations including French-Cana- dian churches and preaching points and 107 Native Indian con- gregations with a total of 163,892 adherents. There are five theologi- cal colleges at present with over 1,045 students enrolled. A French Ministries Training Institute and a Canadian Correspondence Col- lege, as well as three Native Indian Bible Training Centres are in existence. Five hundred and seventy-seven youth groups are run with 21,000 young people in attendance as well as 11,431 boys and girls in attendance at weekly Crusader programs. that a real heat wave hits, and stays until September 12. I figure that will be sufficient time for the vegetables and flowers in the garden to produce . something. It is very discouraging to gaze at the multitude of berries in the strawberry patch which are still a lovely shade of green and realize that they may not make it to the pie and jam stage this year. The corn is no where near "as high as an elephant's eye", maybe an elephant's knee but it would still be a_short elephant. I wish Schreiber continued nice weather and Terrace Bay a hot August but I'm not taking any. chances. I am going to Parry Sound. What's Happening Social programs in- clude a Social Concerns Department, drug rehabilitation programs, homes for troubled youth, homes for unwed mothers, crisis preg- nancy centres, homes for the aged, senior _ citizen apartments, correctional, hospital and university chaplain- cies, as well as a general hospital in Hay River, N.W.T. There are also 265 active missionaries in 26 countries, with 6,148 churches and adherents numbering around 605,042. World Missions Giving for the organization was $8,322,000 in 1983. This also helped the 18 over- seas Bible Colleges of 1,130 students. The Emergency Relief and Development Overseas arm of the P.A.O.C. was involved in 14 overseas projects last year, in- cluding 55 tons in emergency food ship- ments. In his opening ad- dress to the 36th Bi- ennial General Confer- ence of the P.A.O.C. to be held in St. John, New Brunswick, August 23-28, the General Superintendent, Rev. James MacKnight will outline Canada's prob- lems relating to the laws of God that we, as a nation, have broken. His message _ will be "Canada's Dilemma, The Responsibility of the Church, and God's Response." The theme of the Conference is, "IT IS TIME". Taking a leaf out of the history books, Rev. MacKnight believes we should do today what the Methodists did 100 years ago. "The old- time Methodists planted churches every few miles in urban and rural Canada. That is what made our nation great. Canada has been a God- fearing nation with high moral standards and a sense of spiritual re- vival. Canada is now in a moral and_ spiritual crisis. We must have a spiritual awakening." Abortion-on-demand, pornography, _prostitu- tion, lotteries, divorce, the abuse of the Lord's Day, and a wave of social problems indicate that Canada is hurting and needs a_ spiritual awakening. The dyna- mics of church planting is designed to meet that need. Our short term goal is to plant 75 churches in the next two years, and the long term objective is to establish 400. new churches over the next ten years should the Lord tarry." To begin towards these goals, a_ giant "'Offerama"' is to be held Sunday afternoon, August 26 during the Conference where over 1.5 million dollars is expected to be raised from all across Canada. The money will be used to plant churches in these major cities in Canada; Vancouver (Coquitlam), Calgary Degrading Monstrosity brutish-looking arch with fake One of the problems with being of their local papers and pop them Most of the letter-writers would sunken island, (West), Saskatoon (North and Native), Winnipeg (Maples), Toronto (Northeast and West), Montreal (Longueuil), Sussex (New Brunswick), and around the _ world: Harare, Zimbabwe; Kampala, Uganda; Bangkok, Thailand; and Jerusalem, Israel. I personally am thank- ful for the impact the P.A.O.C. is making on our nation and around the world. But I am thankful, not just for the Pentecostal Assemblies, but for every group, denomination, church, whatever label you might wish to use, which the Lord has raised up and is doing it's part to reach the world for the Lord Jesus Christ. completely con- a newspaper junkie is problem that all junkies face I guess -- you can't get enough of your passion.

She enclosed two clippings from the Vancouver Sun. They were letters to the editor and they were about a subject that strikes a chord for Northern Ontarians -- for all Canadians really. They're about Terry Fox. More accurately, they are about monuments to Terry Fox. Funny thing about Terry...By and large, Canadians don't remember their heroes very long. Can you recall who scored the winning touchdown in the Grey Cup last year? How about the Stanley Cup winning goal? Probably not. But Terry? The kid's been gone for nearly 4 years now and Canadians still take a deep breath whenever his name comes up. The reason he's in the news in Vancouver right now is that a monument has just been unveiled in his memory at B.C. Plars. like to see the monument re- veiled as quickly as possible. There are a lot of ways to describe the B.C. 'Terry Fox monument -- not all of them fit for inclusion in a family newspaper. Let- me quote from the letters: 'That monstrosity...bears no resemblance to Terry or -his accomplishment... "It is a tasteless structure and reminds me of a Wurlitzer juke- " box...
