CASTLEGAR NEWS, September 14, 1980 by TERRY GILBERT Cas/News Statf Writer It was almost like coming home for two Sis- ters who arrived in Castle- gar at the end of August, The -nuns, Sister Christina Marie (Fuoco) and Sister. Mary Hope (Spaulding) are here to serve at St. Rita’s Catholic Church. And, although they were not here at the same time, both Sisters have served the parish before: Sister Christina Marie was here from 1965-68 and Sis- ter Mary Hope was here four years later. The nuns will be in- volved in setting up reli- gious education programs and various types of parish work. As Sister Christina Marie points out, religious education involves more than just what the term brings to mind. She is particularly tal- ented musically and feels music can be a “great education.” “When you bring peo- ple together who have tal- ent, no matter how little, they feel at ease with one another and that is a form of education. When people enjoy themselves and let loose, that is where life is at,” she said. The nuns involvement grams will not be as direct as it has been in the past. During her first stay in religious education pro- ©” Sister Christina Marie at recent instructional evening. here,’ Sister Christina Marie taught kindergarten classes before that level of education was absor!

Both nuns, who are sponsored by the church, were serving in St. John, New Brunswick when they “were made aware of the need in Castlegar.” (Last year St. Rita's did not have any nuns.) “There are god! peo- ple here. ‘We always Teel very much at home here,” Sister Mary Hope said. Sister Christina Marie in particular felt she was “coming home” ‘when she returned to the area as her family lives in Revelstoke.

While visiting with us he DEAR DR. GRAHAM: Do you think there are unseen ‘spiritual forees at work in this world? If co, are they good or evil? -ON. DEAR C.N.: Yes, there definitely are unseen spiritual forces at work in this world. The Bible teaches us this very clearly, although it does not go into a great deal of detail, nor does it encourage us to become overly absorbed in such matters. These forces are generally of two kinds. Some are evil forces, demonic or satanic in character. They — like their master Satan — are completely and totally opposed to the work of God in the world, and are dedicated to resisting all that God is doing. The Bible says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 6:12). Canadians/Canadiens at the NEC “¢ Canadiens.” bout anational Photographic show about people is at the Na- tional Centre in Billy Graham We may not always understand completely :how, they operate in this world, but they nevertheless are at work. Ido * not see how you can explain some of the horrors we have seen in the world in this century apart from demonic powers. - But the Bible also teaches there are vast numbers of good spiritual beings, called angels. Several years ago I wrote a book on this subject, and I was thrilled as I researched in depth what the Bible says about angels. Their whole purpose is to praise and' serve God completely, and God uses them to help accomplish His will. He also uses them to protect His people, and keep the forces of evil from overwhelming us. The Bible says concerning angels, “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14). If you have committed your life to Christ, you know that He is stronger than all the forces of Satan. So “Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes” (Ephesians 6:11).

Organized by the Art Gallery of Mount St. Vincent University in Hali- fax, these 95 pictures were chosen from 2,500 submis- sions. The exhibition has been creating quite a stir as it travels across the country. Now people in this region have a chance to see what we think we look like. Helping to put together this exhibition was in a way like assembling a small pic- ture puzzle from 2,500 dis- parate pieces which origin- ally comprised a larger, unre- lated picture puzzle. Add to this the unlikely possibility that it was accomplished by three equally disparate jur- ors who shared few common sensibilities concerning the art of photography. Yet in the duration of three days, a joint statement was agreed upon in the form of an exhi- bition called Canadians that — was amazingly consistent.

This first week of school I have again witnessed the careless, the stupid and the insane.

At great expense the “government saturated the air + waves with the caution-filled commercial to warn all to be on the alert for the anti- cipation-filled, often less- than-cautious, young student headed toward school for an- other year of through 12th grades.

Ms. Harris is one of Canada’s most prolific chil- dren's authors, whose books have been firm favorites with the library’s younger patrons ‘for many years. She started her writing career when she was a young teacher and carried on with it while rear- ing five children in a British Columbia border town. Both her western sur- roundings and her family provided material for Chris- tie Harris's books. The myth- ology of the North West Coast Indians captured her imagination and inspired some of her most famous books, including the award- winning “Raven's Cry,” Se- eret of the Stlalakum Wild” and “Sky Man on the Totem Pole.” The growing- up experi- scene said a sock had even- tually made its way into one of the furnace ducts.
