We repent of our in- volvement in the breakdown of family life by divorce, and ing the book Canadian Re- vival: It’s our turn. The au- thor, George Mallone, is part of the pastoral staff at Bur- naby Christian Fellowship in Burnaby. He concludes that the forerunner of revival is pray- er. However, before prayer can do it’s work there needs to be repentance. Twice a month the author meets with other ministers to pray for revival. After much prayer and discussion they agreed to make a public statement of public repen- tance. The following statements appeared in their local paper and is in the above mentioned book. (Permission for use of this article granted by the author). “Whereas Canada is found- ed upon principles that rec- ognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:” Con- stitution Act, 1982). We the undersigned, un- derstanding these to be times of crisis, invite all people of goodwill to join us as we humble ourselves before God, repent and seek his face for mercy upon our land. 1. We repent for failing to obey the biblical command to pray “for our leaders and legislators and for all who have authority over us.” We commit ourselves to inter- cede that we may live “peaceful and quiet lives in godliness and honesty.” 1 Timothy 2:2 2. We repent for allowing our false self-confidence to confuse the clear proclam- ation that “there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus . . . who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Tim. 2:4,5 We affirm that true human worth and love derive from God who made man in His image. the suffering of our children. We . commit ourselves to loving family life and the care of the parentless and single parents. 4. We repent of slacking in our private responsibilities to take initiative in showing compassion for the poor and disadvanted, “this was the sin of Sodom, she was arro- gant, over-fed and uncon- cerned; they did not help the poor and needy.” Ezekiel 16:49 5. We repent of our greed and materialism of which chronic management-labor strife, our even increasing national debt, and govern- ment operated lotteries are symbols. We commit our- selves to seek first the king- dom of God while believing His promise to “give us this day our daily bread.” Mat- thew 6:3 6. We repent of our inac- tivity in the face .of the de- creasing value of human life. We shudder when 70,000 ba- bies a year have their lives violently taken from them: a legal abortion every six min- utes. Psalm 139:13-16 7. We repent of our sexual immorality that is leading us toa flood of pornography, the alarming rise of prostitution, child abuse, homosexuality, incest and rape. We commit ourselves with compassion and intelligent concern to work for private and public moral purity and the sub- sequent safety of children, women and men. 8. We repent of racial and cultural discrimination _ in- cluding anti-Semitism, which debase human dignity. We commit ourselves to respect the God-given worth of all people. 9. We repent of allowing the fear of nuclear war to paralyze our hope for the future, and to confuse the is- sues of righteous peace. We commit ourselves to obey the Slice of lite.

Piatthew 10:28; 2 Peter 3:10-13 We encourage you to par- ticipate in the renewal of your local church through prayer, attendance and in- volvement. History reveals that in times of national repentance, God has with- held judgment and has shown loving kindness and mercy, even so we pray “God keep our land glorious and free, 0 Canada we stand on guard for thee.” PETITIONARY PRAYER With the devastation everywhere, followed by a period of humility before God, Joel now instructs in the petitionary prayer to be given (2:17). “Spare Thy people, O Lord, and do not make thine inheritance a re- proach, a byword among the nation. Why should they among the people say, “Where is their God?’ ” This is a verse that Can- adians need to star, memor- ize, chant and pray. It is a petition inspired by God and thus a prayer we can be assured God wants to an- swer. “Spare your church in Canada, O Lord, and do not make us a reproach before the evil people of this nation. Why should they be allowed their mocking, ‘Show us your God’ when You alone rule this universe?” New B.C. tourism program Roy Shields, Kootenay Country Tourist Association manager, says the Ministry of Tourism has designed a new program that will change the way British Col- umbia is marketed. The program, which brings private sector interests into a 50/50 partnership with the provincial government through regional tourist asso- ciations, should result in $3 million joint government — private sector spending in the first year. Shields stated, “Govern ment has decided that in or- der to reach further tourist potential it will devote its ef. forts to selling visitors on the specific benefits of visiting British Columbia's regions, as opposed to broad “image” promotion. Accordingly, the government will be working closely with the regional tourist associations in “target marketing” activities within each region.” FAST . . . 16 Rotary Exchange students made a stop in Castlegar on BREAK! a week-long tour of the Kootenays, Grand Forks, Washington and Idaho. Students from eight countries in Castlegar By JOHN CHARTERS Sixteen Rotary Exchange students from eight different countries stopped for dinner, bed and breakfast in Castle- gar Tuesday on their week. long tour of Rotary District 508 (East and West Koot enay, Grand Forks, Washing. ton and Idaho). They are travelling in two vans with Rotarian sponsor. drivers Jerry Jenkins and Bill Hiatt from the Spokane West and Spokane North Rotary clubs. The students stop for lunch with some clubs and dinner, billets and breakfast with others. There are mibre than a score of exchange students in DR.

Tales of New Guinea By JOHN CHARTERS More than 60 members of the Gyro, Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary clubs held a joint meeting Tuesday to hear Dr. John Hall speak on his ex- periences during his two- year medical tour of the southeast Asian country Pap- ua New Guinea. Formerly a protectorate of New Zealand and strongly supported financially by that government, Papua New Guinea is struggling with the problems of the most com- plex geography and climate in the world, over 700 cul- tures and distinct languages, and where tribal warfare is a way of life. It has great natural re. sources, but limited educa- tion. Subsistance living is the standard for all but a handful of its citizens, while attempts are being made to establish a democratic national system of government. As chief surgeon at the Roman Catholic mission hos- pital at Kokopo, Dr. Hall, and his wife Ruth, who worked with him, had many adven- tures in this complex and paradoxical land, acquired a great respect and affection for its people and a consid erable empathy for their needs and outlook. Described in his introduc- tion as ‘a Renaissance man’ (i.e. a person who reflects the Renaissance interest in the arts, sciences and human: ities, a broad curiosity about life and enthusiasm for living, a love of adventure and a strong sense of idealism), Dr. Hall made his life in New Guinea and his adventures and hopes for the people there come vividly alive for his audience in a three-hour He began his lecture by locating Papua New Guinea “on the equator, in one of the most voleanically active areas of the voleanically ac. tive East Indes archipelago.” It consists of a series of folded mountains starting from the narrow, tropical coastal plain and rising to the snow covered interior peaks. The tribespeople live on the different ridges at dif- ferent altitudes and at each level the tribes not only think, act and believe differ- ently from their neighbors, but carry on a continous “pay-back” war against them. It is a situation that makes travelling and living in the country incredibly difficult. One of the greatest prob- lems — and one of Dr. Hall's chief concerns is the lack of storage facility for good water. In spite of torrential daily rainfall, there are no permanent water storage fa. cilities — a situation which forces the people to make long journeys up and down the sides of the mountains to get it, and is the indirect cause of 90 per cent of wide spread medical problems in the country. In an attempt to alleviate the situation, Dr. Hall has begun a program to raise money for the purchase through the mission of per. manent water storage tanks for the tribes. Therefore, at the close of the meeting, chairman Val Govender is sued envelopes to the audi ence for their contributions to the water fund. Dr. Hall also emphasized the need for skilled volun. teers of all kinds — particu larly handymen or women — to work under the CUSO program, Bridge results Seven tables competed at the April 8 meeting of the Joy Ramsden Bridge Clyb.

(CP) — The biggest tourist attraction in this windy town in the Rocky Mountain foothills is an eight-storey tower of granite that most visitors can never enter. “A fixed point in a confusing and shifting world,” is the way & promotional brochure describes Canada’s only Mormon temple, patterned Jerusalem. after ancient temples in The massive structure is visible from several kilometres away at night, when lights illuminate its imposing walls. Built 72 years ago, the temple is a focal point for Canada's 100,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The church, founded in 1830 in Fayette, N.Y., by Joseph Smith, has more than three million members in the United States. TORONTO NEXT Many of the Canadian members make pilgrimages to the Cardston temple. But for members in Eastern Canada, the closest Mormon temple is in Washington, D.C. The church has, however, announced plans for a temple in Toronto although no date has been released for the start of construction. Non-Mormons who travel to either building won't be allowed inside. Church doctrine dictates that only members can enter the sacred rooms in which baptisms and marriages oceur. Mormons believe the living can contact the dead and, by introducing the dead to God, guarantee their lives in heaven. “By proxy, we can save them from eternal death,” said Wendell Tolman, 66, director of the visitor services office adjacent to the temple. Last year his office welcomed 27,000 people who walked around the grounds and the outside of the temple but were not permitted inside. SOLD BUSINESS A big, balding man dressed in a black suit and tie, Tolman sold his grocery store and butcher shop in Idaho a few years ago to become a Mormon missionary. He and his wife are in Cardston for an 18-month assignment. Tolman clasped his large hands together and frowned slightly, trying to think of a way to fully explain why his church's five million members worldwide have spent millions of dollars to build 47 debt-free temples in 25 countries. “These temples are so important for the sacred ordinance work of saving families — not only in this life but when people have passed beyond.” Tolman said the Mormon Church has thousands of chapels for weekly worship services. But only temples, with their special “sealing rooms,” can be used to perform the proxy marriages of living members with the dead. The Cardston temple cost a then-imposing $781,000 when it was built in 1913, fulfilling a 25-year-old prophecy of Mormon settler Charles 0. Card, after whom the town is named, that a temple would rise. USED MAHOGANY The building's massive granite blocks were painstaking. ly hauled from British Columbia. Much of the interior panelling is African mahogany “They could have used cheaper materials,” said Tolman, “but we feel the house of the Lord should have the best.” But the Mormon Church has begun cutting costs on newer temples. By building them smaller and less expen sively, more can be built. Canada can have two instead of one, shortening the travelling distances for members. “We're bringing the temples to the people instead of making the people come to the temple,” Tolman said. Jerry Cahill, a public relations officer at the Mormon Church's headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, said the Toronto temple will be a smaller version of the imposing structure in Cardston. “Making them smaller means making more of them,” Cahill said. Married couple not run MONTREAL (CP) — Ev ery Sunday, Patrick Ormos and Kris Graunke go to church, but rarely together Ormos is rector of St Martin's Anglican Church in Otterburn Park, Que., and Graunke ministers to the United Church of Canada congregation in Lacolle-Clar enceville, Que. They are one of several married couples serving in area. The number of clergy couples is increasing in North America as more sem. inaries train women and of mill more congregations are will ing to appoint them. Ormos and Graunke are unusual in that they serve congregations of different denominations, but they say they take advantage of their different affiliations to enrich their respective ministries. “We discuss problems aff- ecting our congregations,” said Graunke, who still stud ies at a Montreal seminary and expects to be ordained in 1986. “This helps us to serve our people better and streng- then us individually.” People’s Insulation Servic 500 CONTINUES Now Underway fo: We A MASSIVE STOCK REDUCTION ORMAL DININ ROOM SUIT SEDROOM Sl interé ree KITCHEN DINETTES REDUCED BY +100 — *150 AND MORE 60" Wall ENTERTAINMENT CENTRES AUDIO WALL UNITS 5-DRAWER CHESTS OF DRAWERS NIGHT STANDS 3-Piece LIVING ROOM TABLE SETS REDUCED BY UP TO $200 a V2 PRICE 20” Color T.V. with Full Remote VIDEO CASSETTE RECORDERS $549 VRTAPES $795 Or 3 for $22.95 Case of 10. . . $69.95 (VHS) Reducedto........ ° HOMEGOODS CHINA CREEK 9 10 cu.ft.
