The committee, whose mandate was just to present the facts and not make a recommendation, did in fact make a recommendation and that was that the school be reconstructed on the same site. However, this'rider was included. "In the long term, Sechelt would be best (for a senior school) but by then, Sechelt will need a senior secondary anyway." Most committee members were surprised that a recommendation was made, because it was hot their intention. "asl(Gibsons-Sechelt) but more costly" initially. Second choice." That was referring to the junior-senior in Sechelt and a junior in Gibsons. Its the long;.term we're looking at. The Roberts Cteek Recreational Centre site was pretty-well ruled out for a number of reason, so; we feel that the most reasonable place for a junior senior school would be in Sechelt because that is where the growth pattern is. And that takes us back to square one because that is where The Times recommended that the school be built in first place.

Persons arranging parties should not force drinks on guests and they should remember that it takes time to eliminate alcohol from the body system. No amount of black coffee or cold showers is going to do it. Hosts should plan some activity such as dancing or games. This usually tends to cut down on the amount of alcohol consumed. Close "the bar" about an hour or so before the party breaks up. This can be done by serving coffee and food. Your guests will realize that this is, the way things are done in your house. You must remember that coffee will not sober a person, it merely gives time for some of the alcohol in the body to be climin- ted. So, if you're entertaining this Christmas season, do your part to make the party fun during and aflter.

The original book and lyrics were created by Gordi,e Hauka, piano transcriptions by Ken Dalgleish, who is also accompanist included in the music are several songs that are not original. The cast is directed "by John Burnside, whose . direction in ^previous productions has.Ya^jeyed" cdj|- ; siderable success, at drama festivals. The high-kicking chorus line is being encouraged to dance by competent choregrapher Mrs. Ronnie Dunn, who is coping welly with the fancy foot-work. Even those ~bf us who couldn't stand on one foot-without falling over are finding jiJut that ,'hOWing' is fun. ;, | Costum^l are in the firm hahds of Miss Nest I^wiK who is finding ways ahd. means of faking women appear as men and boys^'and men appear as women or 'even, yes, a cat.

A fairy-tale with its feet on the, ground, topical touches, and action thttt spills over into the auditorium, a pantomime is every man's entertainment. The district schools concert last Thurs- dap evening was the first we have attended in this part of the country, although we have seen many in othQr places; and yet, as we looked around'the crowded gym at Sechelt Elementary School, it all seemed very familiar. The hall, itself, was different; the children and the costumes were different; the business of revolving audiences Was different; but tho feeling in the air was the same. Before the curtains opened, the atmosphere was so charged with excitement that, for a few moments, it seemed that the hall would explode, Keyed-up children, some very quiet and some almost beside themselves; tense mothers ond fathers; busy teachers trying to get last-minute messages ncross\,to their students, or trying to reassure, one who suddenly doesn't want to be In it; accompanists hoping their music wouldn't foil down, before tho night was over; oil this was new and old nt the same time��� n new variation on nn old theme called Christmas concert. > ' AH over the world, in the month of December, every year, u traditional phenomenon takes place. F.very village be- , comes a global village, . It is as If tho whole world Is contained In ench and every school hall, whenever n Christmas concert is perforrhed. One might wonder why a Christmas concert Is ,*io different from any other, nnd tho answer lies in the imagination of children nnd their sense of wonder nt the Christmas story. , What the bIiow Jnpks in dramatic por- trnynls, it moro than makes tip for in uninhibited performances. If little children like whnt thoy.nre doing, it shows nil over their faces In an enr-io-enr grin, If they don't like whnt they are doing, they display their boredom openly, like n banner. When thoy nro momentarily terrified* as many of them are when they look out nt a sen of faces for the very first time, it Is written all over them. The biggest star of the show is ulwnys the same; it is the honesty of llttlo children who hnvo not learned to disguise their fa-lings. The brightest Jitfu on stage in alwayii tho same; lt 1�� the shining light of truth,!'The mirnclo of God's' creation Is always restated for our consolation in tho purity nnd innocence thnt flows from n ntngo filled with children ot the Chrlat- mos Concert. Senior citizen Assn. notes "AND ALL the fixins," well describes the fullness of the menu enjoyed by Sechelt Senior Citizens Dec. 13 at the Old Legion Hall. , ' Opened by incoming President Hugh Duff who nfter the singing of 'Oh Canada' asked the members to stand in silehce for n moment in respect to our late member Peter Edmonds. Rev. Cassels asked the grace after which the members sat around tables decorated with centrepieces of holly and red candles while on the stnge making n suitable background stood a large Christmas tree. Our thanks to tho men of a well-known utility for the tree. The ladies of St. Hilda's Church had prepared a sumptuous repast of roast turkey, baked hnm accompanied by the appropriate vegetnbles nnd savories, topped off with mince pie and jello. An added fillip waa a glass of wine, the gift of Emory Scott, our retiring president, presently holidaying in Mexico. Thanks Emory. Jack Bushell, after expressing his thanks, in concise but apt terms, to those who hud, both in the formative days, nnd the present time made No. 09 such nn outstanding success, proceeded to install the officers who will carry the business of the association through 197*1, urging them to further success, At tills point, Walter James, program director, took chargo and introduced the program which wns opened hy Eva Hayward nnd Mnry' Redman plnying ns n pinno duet, Christmas Overture, n clever medloy of famlllor Christmas music.

Then, Olive Clear, always pleasureafcle anticipated, recited An Old Fashioned Christmas and a fitting encore. Walter James, as usual, in great voice rendered O Holy Night and then with the aid of the senior choir, led the audience in group singing of Christmas carols. Hazel Evans and Ruby Hatcher were the very accomplished accompanists for the singing. A drnw was then held for gift certificates from the usual generous source. Winners were: stay-at-homes; Edith Hel- lier, Madge Newman, Amy Bryant and Mrs, P, Frandsen. Present: Blanche Mc- Cready, Mrs, L. Thomas, K. W. Harper and Mr. Fransen. The rest of the afternoon was spent in games nnd dancing to bring to a rousing finish a very happy nftcrnoon.

Foster parents and foster children1 correspond, monthly (letters are translated by Plan) and often develop warm and affectionate relationships which mean as much to the child as the material and financial _id. The Blackstock's adopted child lives with her mother, Christina Miranda San- jines, who is a coolc-helper. She, and her eldest daughter,, who is 13, work in a restaurant and they earn a total of $32.50 month which must be used to support the mother and three childrejr.

Linda Dunn and Susan Small were the lucky gals. ������ Thursday night's concert with all the schools in district 46 taking part, pointed out the great need for an auditorium, large enough to hold all the populace comfortably. This, of course, would i_t�� dude a proper stage with dressing rooms, lights, acoustics and the like. The talent being inurtured in this area needs a proper setting/for greater appreciation. The work, done by the teachers and dow Lake, put on a good performance with the mouth organ. The Legion ladies Were in attendance serving special fare in their kindly way.

Here's a date to remember���Dec. 20��� that's tomorrow. There will, be a special Christmas bingo tomorrow evening. In addition to six turkeys, there will be "good neighbor" games and extr^ door prizes. . ' And good news for you swingers! Wendy Lee is in charge of a group organi-, zing a New Year's Eve dance at the ball Admission is $4 each, so be sure you set aside, that amount out of your Christmas holiday funds! Live music will be provided by a three-piece orchestra. Last week the Community Club made a donation of $150 toward the cost of the Easter trip being planned for some of . the elementary school pupils; Thfe- is a realty active group, and deserving of community support, I hear, however, that as a community -we're, some of us, shirking our responsibilities.. Our executive works hard throughout theL year for the benefit of all of us, and it , would be nice if they were offered a little more voluntary help. One way of assisting in their work is open to anyone with a few hours of time available^-and there should be many of us in that category once the festive season is over. Muriel Cameron has materials available for anyone who will do some sewing or knitting or other craft work in preparation for the club's annual Spring bazaar, coming up in May. Call Muriel at 883-2609. And the next general meeting of the community club is the, annual meeting, at which a new slate of officers is scheduled to be elected. At the. previous general meeting, on Nov. 4, only six people other than the executive were present. Let's show them we appreciate What they're doing for us, and turn up in force for this important session. I'll let you know the date as soon as it's announced. Peter Prescesky, who chaired the recent special meeting in connection with the Bremer Commission on Education, talked to me today about that occasion. 1 There was a considerable turnout���about forty people (as Vern Wishlove pointed out, somewhat less than the Bingo drew on that same night)���and some good suggestions were put forth. These have -been relayed to Victoria, along with a summary of the proceedings, and 27 completed questionnaires from parents who attended. .Mrs. EUeeniDsu^,,.,ihe:min_3ter of ed.uca��ion,Y appointed") John Bremer to study the British Columbia school system over a period of three years and come up with recommendations for improving it. This month's meeting was the first to be held here dri an attempt to get grassroots opinions about the system and ideas for improvements. H .you missed this first one, there is to be a second, to be held at the high school, in January or February. We'll be letting you know the date later on. Nothing left to say now except, most sincerely and warmly, that I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a. bright and happy New Year. JU >,A 7\ "v^ X* ,-/.

The Minister also said that the View of the British Columbia railway is to rely On ihe CN and CP for box cars and that a failure on the part of the industry itself to forecast an increase in activity and a_ refusal of lumber companies to cooperate with the railways with regard to the length of time involved in the keeping of cars have contributed to the. present problem. Howeyer, Olaussen indicated to the press that a lack of federal action in coordinating the supply, movement ahd el- location of box cars must be considered in the light of the present shortages. He also indicated that the federal government must implement effective plans immediately for the manufacture of box cars and. that a national committee should be empowered to take effective action as required in these ahd Other areas.

West Coast, B.C. Automobile Association president, F. B. Paxton said. He was commenting on a Canadian Automobile Association report that some Canadian travellers in eastern U.S. were being refused gasoline supplies. An association check in Washington, Oregon and California indicated: Washington���Supplies of gasoline have been reduced causing some stations to adopt early closing hours or closing on Sunday. At present supplies are available within each district. \ Oregon���The situation here is a little more critical with many stations closed. In most cases fuel sales are being limited to five to 10 gallons. Saturdays and Sundays are the worst periods for obtaining gasoline supplies. ~~ California���-lasoline supplies are holding up at present. No one is being refused fuel no matter where he lives, but many stations are restricting each sale to five to 10 gallons at a time. '' "��� Paxton said the BCAA advised motorists to plan their travel,within the U.S. during the Monday to Friday period, avoiding the weekend. "Motorists should ensure they always travel on the 'top half of their gas tanks if they wish to ensure an uninterrupted journey," he added.

Miss Bee's, Sechelt THE Welcome Beach Hall was filled to capacity last Saturday when about 70 members and guests sat down to a Christmas dinner of turkey and all the trimmngs at long tables decorated with red candles and sprigs of holly. President Alex Ellis, in a speech of welcome, introduced several new members including Eva Lyons, Alan and Joan Mackerith, Lome and Diana Ferris. Among members' guests present were Jim Anderson, 92 year old veteran of the Boer War, Bob and Ruth Forester, Jack and Gladys Grognet, Evelyn PaUant, the Vince Shannon's grandchildren, Daniel and Debbie Bennett and Carl Franzin of Lund. John Ellis was also present, having arrived from Tokyo just in time to celebrate with his parents their 33rd wedding anniversary. He was accompanied by a friend, Miyoshi Yotaro of Tokyo. Mr. Ellis drew the attention of the membership to the vast improvements which had been carried out at the hall during the past year and which had been made possible by a New Horizons grant. He expressed the appreciation of the association to the federal government for the New Horizons project which had recognized the needs of the pioneers and senior citizens of this country. The association had received the utmost cooperation and consideration from the New Horizons offices both in Ottawa and Van- ���couverYThe Unproved comfort of the hall -with its new furnace, and the additional facilities, such as carpet bowling were .giving great pleasure to many senior citizens as well as some of the younger people. "\ Bill Fraser paid tribute to the caterer of the dinner, Mary Kingston who,/ with the help of her efficient team, served such an excellent meal on time in :spite of the power failure for 2% hours during the afternoon when a tree felt a- cross the line near the Jerry Williams Tradition!

His telephone, he said, had never stopped ringing with offers of help of all kinds���loan of lanterns, gas stoves and all kinds of facilities to ensure the dinner going ahead. He was sure with such a community, Halfmoon Bay was the best place in the world to live. He expressed appreciation to the ladies auxiliary for planning the dinner and to Janet Allen who had, collected a surprising amount of talent for the program. Carol singing was accompanied by Jean Laird, while Olive Clear recited My Borrowing Neighbor and Blanche McCrady gave guitar solos of Beneath the Pale Hawaiian Moon & a hula. Alex Ellis gave a reading of a seventeenth century philosophy, Desiderata and Ruth Forrester sang some amusing songs accompanying herself on her guitar. The decorations were carried Out by Thea Leuchte and the members of the ladies auxiliary. The Christmas lights' which gave such a warm welcome to �� the arriving guests, were loaned and installed by Charlie Coatham and Bill Fraser. ��� �� * Mr. and Mrs. Jack Burrows recently celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary with a family dinner party at the Patio Gardens. Russell Cunningham, arriving home from. Sechelt where he had been playing in a music festival, had the happy thought to sit down near their table and play for them on his guitar, a -.delightful rendering of Spanish Romance. Children of the Halfmoon Bay School presented their play Three Christmas Trees before a vast audience of parents and students at the District Schools Concert at Sechelt Elementary School last Thursday. While, this was a first.experience in acting for several of the child-^. ren and though it was a bigger audience than any of them had ever faced before, they gave an excellent performance, acquitting themselves with honor. The children appearing in the play were Denise Baker as Sun, Eddie Tom as Rock and Elsie Harry, Margaret Connor and Sonja Jorgensen as Trees. The parts of Stars were played by Dulcie Mathias Joe, Krista Baker and Tina Hansen, while.Aleda Pascall and Sean Ryser were Snowflakes. Michelle Grognet made a delightful Christmas fairy; Bobby Wilson was a most effective mayor, assisted by David Wilson as councilman. Pat Har- ryf Joanne Tom, Jimmy Peters, Helena Edmonds and Jordan Wallace appeared as children and Mark Zuidema did a fine job of the part of Jimmy. Adam James was Santa, whose sleigh was guided by a most intriguing red- nosed Rudolph played by Greg Francis. Incidentally, someone took firenft the community hall, a dark blue raincoat which belongs to Blackie Petit. The other person's coat, similar to Bladdes, is hanging in the hall and if the owner wants it back, they can call Mary Tinkley at 885-9479 who has a key to the hall. _l_lt^^ PORT MELLON INDUSTRIES CREDIT UNION Holiday Business Hours: Saturday, December 22���10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday, December 24 ��� Closed as usual Christmas Day, December 25 ��� Closed Boxing Day, December 26 ��� Closed Monday, December 31 ��� Closed as usual New Year's Day, January 1, 1974 ��� Closed The Officers and Staff of your Credit Union wish all members and their families .

Time went by; and, no word from the mechanic so fou6v?in& a phone call, the sister discovered the teeth had never been delivered so she confronted th brothr who confessed that he had lost them. The sister who called The Times, oiffice thought that. the teeth may have! been turned in here because of tne proximity of the 'drop zone!' But no, we couldn't help. She thought thajt someone advertised in September about the lost teeth and wanted to know if we could find the ad. J__.er a quick look, we admitted that we couldn't find the ad. So, the sister pleads, if anyone has the teeth, will they please phone her and presuma'bly, if the teeth ine water j fit, they'll be hers.

Peninsula Times _, Wednesday, December 19, 1*73 | -M>y fc-Stor Gerry Foster, o Gibsons Pentecostal Church THE SEASQN of the year that more planning 'and^ preparation goes into ' than any other time is upon us. Next Y.Tuesday is Christmas Day, but already people.are celebrating this festive season. The celebrating will-take many forms. Some will travel to relatives, Others will spend a more quiet time in their own homes. Some .will eat and drink to excess. ' Others will excel in buying of presents. Some housewives will spend hours baking, others will take time to decorate the home. How are you celebrating it? However, I think there is a more needful question. What are you celebrating? Why all the fuss and bother each year come the end of December? There is only one, answer acceptable to these questions and it is spelled out for us in the first six letters of the word Christmas . . . CHRIST. What has He got to do with it? It might be good to refresh our memories in the midst of the frantic hustle and bustle we are; experiencing these days. ���*_ "Many years ago God made a personal visit to this planet earth. He came on a very important mission and He came in -the person of Jesus Christ. The Bible says, ���'Christ came into the world tp save sinners." Herein lies the reason why angels and stars sang that historic night long ago. God had sent His only Son into the world. It was cause for great rejoicing; it was a reason to stage a celebration, for this was the best news ever to be broadcast in our world. And so we are reminded that Christmas is a celebration of the appearance in our world of the Prince of Peace and the Mighty God. By all means let us cele* brate this event.

For a long time nothing happened, then a strange feeling came over them, a feeling of flying, of sailing through the air, •"., Polly opened" her eyes. "Peter," she screamed, "Look! We are floating away." Peter's eyes popped open. Sure enough they, were sailing high above the earth on what seemed to he a cloud. They could see the familiar buildings of their home vanishing in the distance, and new snow- covered houses and barns took their place. "How do you like your magic cloud?" asked a voice behind them. Peter and Polly both jumped -and peered fearfully over their shoulders. Seated on the other edge of the cloud was a figure they recognized almost at once as St. Nicholas. "Oh," sighed Polly in relief, "I'm db glad it is you and not some stranger." "I think I am going to like flying on a cloud very much, as soon as I get used to it," Peter said. "But tell me, Santa, how did you happen to pick us up? This has "Well, they do not seem to be preparing for Christmas here," said Peter, glancing at the nearly dark streets and shop windows. ' "No," laughed St. Nicholas, "this is a Mohammedan country, and while they believe in God they do not believe in Christ, and as Christmas is Christ's birthday they do not celebrate it. Their Christ is called Mohammed." "My, what funny people," murmured Polly. "That is, just what they think about you," chuckled the saint. "Now I think we will visit Australia. We will speed the old cloud up and make the trip by the time it is noon there." : ^ St. Nick was as good as his word and in a surprisingly short time they were over the city of Sydney. The sun was high in the sky and people were moving about preparing their Christmas dinner. St. Nicholas guided the cloud toward a beach and kept it hovering there while Peter and Polly looked down. "Why, look," exclaimed Polly, "people are eating in their bathing suits." "And there's no snow," added Peter. "That is one of the strange things about Christmas," explained St. Nick, "it. is celebrated in every part of the world, , in every sort of climate, by people of almost every color, without losing any of its meaning. Whether amid snow and ice in your country, or on the beach in Aust- - ralia, it is still the biggest holiday of the year." "I .hink we should be getting home" said Polly in a doubtful tone, "mother may be worried." f": ^ yYJnai^ |^r *rfe£iH*_^^ •■' y >* _ guess home is the best place to be, after all,'; said Polly happily, as she opened the box containing the doll she had wished for. "We saw a lot of places, but this seems the nicest. It seems more like Christmas here."-h, , Peter nodded: "I imagine that, part of the joy of Christmas is having a home to enjoy it in." Bloke C.

Don't believe me, , well, bend'an ear~and; read on. - ,' Wt week's square dance-started out a little^ slow, that old .flu bug sure is taking it's time getting out of the.road,this year. Maybe it will get picked up^at a sniffing station and put away for a few years, could happen. Anyway as'laSt Friday night progressed, the tempo picked up, more dancers came, .including . our guest for the eVenitfg, Lornte Lovell, from Gibsons, whd I-might say,-did ^fantastic job. of .square* dicing. J/WPuld.say that it's onward to aT better square dance club and more fun for all. I ran out of room for storing old square dance records, so I got sick, (I must have) and cleaned up, junked out, or whatever you call it. But one thing remains, all those good memories are locked away in my head. And many of the good old square dance calls. So if I come up'with a cockeyed call some night, iyq\i will . know that I have been hit in the head. , One book I came across dated back to the square dance season of 1965-1966' when I had a beginner class at the Wilson Creek Hall. There are .quite a few still square dancing, such'las; Lorraine and Sid Con- roy, Gwen ^fks, the Austins, Jackie Spencer, Dorllrand Bob Crichton. There were others like. Flo and Ron McSavaney, Grace and Fra__$ Bonin. It would be nice to see these square dancers back again. Well, those classes did pay off,because Pat and Jack Whitaker are now teaching square dancing at the Wilson Creek Hall on Monday nights, so, if you want to learn square dancing, give Jack a call, 1 he will be only too glad to hear from you. Don't forget the Christmas square dance party at the Golf Club Friday, 8:30 pan. Dec. 21. Easy level, all square dancers' welcome, ladies bring refreshments. _ think this will be a great night. Bring a gift to exchange with square dance friends at coffee time. Gifts are not to exceed 98 cents. The New Years Eve square dance will -be held at St. -Hildas Hall in Sechelt. That's Dec. ��1, 8:30 p.m. Last year, we had a great time and maybe this year the square dance will be greater, fantastic and even overwhelming, who knows. All square dancers welcome. Ladies bring refreshments. I am1 sure you will all have a good time. My good wife Peg1 and I, would like to take this opportunity to wish all the Square dances, wherever you may be, a very Merr&^&ristmas and a Happy Healhty New Year. So, on square dancer and Prancer and Rudolph, on Peninsula Times, and staff, to a better year ahead, I leave now, with good wishes to all and to all a Merry Christmas ��� Squaringly Yours���Peg and Maurice Hemstreet.

Underground wiring in the village is still in the future, the alderman reported. He said that he had, contacted B.C. Hydro' and B.C. Tel to investigate the possibility of undergrounding existing wiring. "They said the costs would be pro- ' hibitive, right now," said Hqehney^ He pressed council for an in-committee discussion of the wharf situation. Hoehne feels the wharf should be handed back to the Department of Transport for administration because of its "deplorable state." /"^A recent meeting with department / representatives had produced nothing new, he said. The cost of - upgrading portions of School, Winn, and Gower Point Roads will be included in the next budget, noted Aid. Ted Hume. He said his roads committee had met with Coast Paving to arrive at an cost estimate and figures would soon be available. Council backed a recent move by the Central Kootenay Regional District to press the provincial jpvernment to. bear necessary by changes ih "tfie Municipal " Act. In a letter, Valid Construction Ltd. asked for payment of $5,000 which has been held back by council Ss a guarantee of performance in connection with Work 'on the new sewer system. Aldermen agreed to retain the sum until all costs arising out of deficiencies in the^system havfr been calculated. "We don't have psychoanalysis in Greece, you know," says actress Melina Mercouri.

Trustee Joe Horvath said the board would have to make a decision on the pool soon. - "This would have to be incorporated in plans for the new school in Gibsons," 'he explained. Mrs. Labonte proposed that trustees meet the Kinsmen in early January. "I would imagine that the department (of education!) *would allow us to share the cost in proportion to the amount of use we would get out of it," she added. District Supt.

They will'probably remember, however, for who could forget the excitement and special happiness which always permeates the hospital at this season. This Christmas season each wing -is again responsible for its own decor ahd for weeks now schoolteachers, nurses and patients have been working on large posters to han'g on both sides of ward Win-- doys. Egg cartons have no security at all as they are cut up to make wondrous mobiles that will line corridor ceilings. On the way to treatments its a comfort to check and make certain your piece of tinsel is still clinging on. Later when the trees go up if you oannot reach to decorate, you can always be a wheelchair or stretcher superintendent and ask for your favorite angel to be on the side nearest your room.

"The same was in the beginning with God. . _, n, All things were made by him: -and without him was not anything made that was made." (John 1:2-3). ' ���>��� Also, inTElphesians 3:9 we read that God "created all things by Jesus Christ." Think of the beauty of the earth which he prepared for us!'Consider the soil, the' water," the forests, the endless variety of living' things which we, enjoy and utilize for study and for industry. Reflect upon the miracle of the human body with its symmetry and balance, the marvetdU- digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous and reproductive systems. Wonder at the harmony of the laws of nature! ��� Jesus Christ was born in a stable, the son of an earthy mother and a Heavenly Father. He experienced the problems of mortality���childhood, .youth & manhood; he taught an .unpopular philosophy and suffered death "at the hands of his own .countrymen. ' By his example and teachings he gave us a way of life and a hope in death. "Jesus .saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life: No man cometh unto the Father but by me." (John 14:6). He taught us' to pray; to love and serve,one another; to forgive; to go the second mile; to 4o xmp others as we, would have them do unto us. He blessed ' little children, he healed the flick, he cleansed the sinner, he comforted the sorrowing. He said, '"Come unto me _U .ye that labor and are heavy laden and 1 will give you rest." (Matthew li:28). He loves every one of us and wants us to be happy. In dying, he atoned for the sins of the world. My sins are forgiven if t will repent. When I make mistakes, he gives me a fresh start. He was the first fruits of the resurrection, .'Though him everyone who ever lived, Will be resurrected. "For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:22). After this life is over, Christ will be our judge. "For the Father judgeth no man; b\tt hath committed all judgment unto the* Son." (John 5:22).
