If friends so desire, memorials to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. philosophers had to say about life after death. Hun- dreds of documented cases of patients, who had been clinically dead and later brought back to life, described some common impressions: | - a sense of leaving the body and being able to observe the normal things of life. 2 - a sense of being enveloped in love and warmth, regretting the lost opportunities to show love to others. 3 - a sense of disappointment in being called back to an earthly existence. Although fully 20 per- cent of all Canadians do not believe in life after death, an astonishing 70 percent admit to some belief in a hereafter...often arrived at from their own religious or philosophical perspective. Among Christians, there has been much debate about the afterlife. Some qualify the afterlife as a place of Heaven or Hell others, especially in the Eastern Churches, see all people aspiring to Heaven; a third group point to a Purgatory or inbetween state, where the soul is in a type of limbo between Heaven and Hell. A minority of Christians even hold to a mystical view of reincarnation. While my reading of scripture places me firmly into the Heaven/Hell duali- ty. I must confess that God's word does not reveal much about what these two existances would be like. I feel that Hell, however, would be anywhere that the WHEREAS it citizens to every way.

Heaven, on the other hand, seems indescribable, as it becomes protrayed largely in allegory in scrip- ture. These allegories, especially in Revelation, all point to God's im- measurable love. As Christians, we do have some affirmation through Jesus Christ. John 6:40, gives us a particular hope that we will live again, in a new existence, if we believe Jesus died for our sins, so that we might rise to eternal life. Jesus tells his disciples, 'For this is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up on the last day. "(RSV) Through Jesus' resurrection from the dead, we have a firm promise that by grace, we too will rise to new life in him. : Many churches today have replaced the color _ black (to symbolize our sinfulness) to white (to symbolize our sins being forgiven through Jesus Christ, and our hope in our own resurrection through him). White liturgical col- ors, including white palls points to our celebration of the life of a devout Chris- tian, that he will be with Jesus, and risen in his glory. The early Church used jouyous Easter hymns and the color white, to celebrate Christ's victory over sin and death, for those who believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Over time, the Medieval Church became obsessed with Man's basic sinfulness, and black became prominent. In recent times, Christians have returned to ancient practices...not to deny the reality of sin, but to give a clearer focus to our joy at the death of a committed Christian. This is not to say that we do _ not grieve...even Jesus cried over the death of his friend Lazarus. Yet, within our grief, we have renewed hope for ourselves, that death is conquered for us through Jesus Christ. Ho- ly Communion is very ap- propriate at funeral ser- vices today. In_ the Eucharist, we recall how Jesus overcame death to claim us for God the Father.

FISCHER Reeve, Township of Schreiber experience. What this pro- gram had done, is to reawaken Christians to the promise of eternal life with Jesus Christ. It also has helped to fulfill the Biblical perspective that death is not the end, but the start of a new beginning in an ex- istance unknown to us in this earthly life. ott e F v e r) w * = Cw or > We offer you and colours Showrooms in _Emile Miron Why look anywhere else for your dream kitchen?
