“I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the

Lord in the land of the living.

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord”

Psalm 27:13 & 14

If you like hot weather then this summer was made for you. We have had some real scorchers this year. If you have found this summer a little too warm for your liking, I have good news - change is coming. Perhaps you are already feeling it. I do. Most mornings I sit out back enjoying my coffee and a few quiet moments before the house explodes with energy and chaos. The mornings seem a little bit cooler, fresher. My late night strolls with the dog also confirm in small and subtle ways that we are on the brink of change. While an official change of seasons is still a few weeks away, we know it's coming. As I prepare for my second Arrow Leadership residential week in mid-September, I have been reading a book by Mark Buchanan called Spiritual Rhythm: Being with Jesus every season of your soul. Let me share a thought on summer as discussed in the book. These are some of the words we associate with summer; fruit, light, rest, play, wonder, festival, joy, reunion and holidays (p.112). These words make my heart smile as I associate memories of summers past.

In the heart’s summertime, we experience all this – vitality, connectedness, rest. It abounds in play and fruitfulness, warmth and shade. There’s ample daylight, and we find sheer delight in God and in what he’s made (p. 112).”

Our 'spiritual summer' is a vibrant and enjoyable time in our lives. Things are going well in our walk with Jesus and there seems to be growth and enjoyment of God. This sounds good. Maybe you have experienced this in your Christian walk.

While the summertime of our spiritual journey is enjoyable and fruitful, the author issues a few warnings. The one that jumped out to me was that we need to watch out for spiritual dehydration. A danger for Christians is drought. We know that plants and animals and people require enough water to survive. The sun, while life-giving, can also be dangerous, causing burns and heat exhaustion.

Before we left for vacation on July 20th, the lawns in our neighborhood were brown and crispy. They were parched and in need of a good drink. Surprisingly, when we returned home, the lawns were green once again. They have been watered. They had been revived. What looked dead was made alive again. However, as we think about our journey of faith, the warning is that we need to be careful that we are nurturing and watering our souls with the Word of God.

I think that many of us can relate to times of spiritual dryness in our lives. It happens. It can even sneak up on us quite unexpectedly. As you enjoy the last few weeks of summer let me encourage you to remain hydrated. Hold your cup out and allow God to fill it up again. Summer is not over so make sure you drink deeply of God's Word.

TALES OF A TRAVELLING TEACHER Anecdotes and experiences from my time as President and CEO of the 240,000- member Canadian Teachers’ Federation

(CTF) (A series by Allan Bacon)

In early September 1993 I set off from Ottawa with my trusted staffer Robert Barker en route to Amsterdam and Russia. In Amsterdam we met with the Executive of the 30-million member Education International (EI) to explore possible ways in which the EI could give assistance to the fledgling Russian teacher union, with whose leaders we were to meet in Moscow. Two days later we were aboard an antiquated Aeroflot aircraft that appeared to have been repaired after several crashes, its cabin full of acrid cigarette smoke. The aircraft was shaking violently throughout the flight and the noise from the engines was deafening. Somehow we made it safely into Moscow International Airport and cleared immigration after a wait of almost two hours. My suitcase had been badly damaged in transit, but fortunately nothing had been lost. Officials did not ask us any questions. We were met by Nicolai Kolobashkin, the Russian union’s international secretary, who was to be our guide and interpreter during our stay. A former Colonel in the KGB he was a delightful individual to work with. As we drove into Moscow, first general impressions were of thousands of people walking carrying bags and sacks, roads in terrible condition with many huge potholes, crowds trading on the sidewalks, buildings in a poor state of repair, and many drivers ignoring all rules of the road. We passed the Kremlin and Red Square (more of this later) and a huge statue on a plinth of Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. We checked into the Sputnik Hotel, where I quickly discovered that the room had no shower, no soap and no toilet paper (I had brought several rolls with me, having been warned ahead of time) and one small towel the size of a face flannel. Twenty minutes later we began our meeting with Vladimir the union President and Tanya, the union’s economic expert. This lasted for over two hours, during which we were briefed on the union organization and its problems and needs, and this was followed by an enormous dinner.

At 8.30 p.m. Robert, Nicolai and I were driven to Moscow railway station. Here Nicolai gave both of us a 10,000 rouble note “for our own use during our visit” (we gave this back to him when we left). ). He had booked us into a first-class 2-bunk sleeping compartment under the names of Mr. Smirnov (Robert) and Mr. Bakonov (me) so

as to avoid us having to pay double as foreigners. He also stayed with us so that he could converse with train staff (all women), explaining to them that we had language difficulties. The train itself was drab and dingy with many broken windows, but our compartment was passable and the service was good, with frequent drinks of hot black coffee served in glass mugs in ornate silver holders. We were bound for Ivanovo, some 250 miles northeast of Moscow. The train stopped frequently and never exceeded some 30 miles an hour. Along the way we toasted my grandson Christopher’s first birthday (September 11th). At 4.50 a.m. we arrived at Ivanovo and stumbled, bleary-eyed, over the tracks (there was no platform) to be met by Reisa, the President of the Chemical Academy whose members were part of the teacher union. At their Rest Centre Robert and I were able to snatch two hours’ ‘sleep’ before a wash and shave (again no shower) and a breakfast of gargantuan proportions. We then set off for Palekh through countryside that was rather like Ontario in places. We passed fenced in dachas (traditional Russian houses with ornately carved wooden exteriors) and much evidence of the grinding poverty of peasant life. Arriving at Palekh we were greeted warmly by several local teacher and workers’ union officials. (to be continued)

Although the cartoon below is humorous, in reality, Ottawa Citadel has had a long history of problems with platform risers. The Band & Songster risers, even to this day, present hazards to the ladies wearing high heels. The heels can get wedged in the cracks between the risers creating a trip hazard. For years, the second cornet row had the same problem as the one parodied below. (Just ask CSM Linda!)

SUSIE FOREST SWIFT is certainly not the best-known song author in our Song Book, but she does have one song, and a good one, in the book, Song #661 (verse 1 and chorus above). The song has its history: it was written in 1887 and published the same year; it has been in every Salvation Army Song Book since; it was sung at the first High Council of the Salvation Army in 1929. While there may not be anything of particular significance or interest about the writing of the song itself, the same cannot be said of the career of its author. Her life has been described as remarkable and eventful, but never as ordinary. Susie Swift was born in 1862 to a prominent lawyer family in New York and graduated from an elite private college in 1883. Following graduation, she, her sister Elizabeth and a friend went to Europe for a “cultural” vacation – art galleries, museums, opera, theatre and the like – a vacation that was intended to last a year. Plans went somewhat astray, however, while in Glasgow, when one William Booth came to town and Susie and friend went to his service. They went to the Penitent Form during the altar call and from that moment of conversion Susie immersed herself in all things Salvation Army and “lost interest in everything except the Army” according to one writer. Not one to let her cultural holiday interfere with her new-found passion, she quickly went to London, sought out the SA headquarters and began to work for the Army. When her “vacation” was over, she returned to the US, bubbling with enthusiasm about her conversion and the work of the Army in England and elsewhere. Shortly after, it was back to London where she entered the training garrison to become an Officer. Commissioned in 1885. she quickly became a valued member of the Army staff: director of a social program for “waifs and strays” (street children) in London; working with General Booth on the outline and writing of his book Darkest England and the Way Out; writing articles for and eventually becoming editor of the Army’s publication All the World; correspondent for the War Cry; sent by the General to various countries promoting the work of the Army. In 1896 she returned to the US with the rank of Brigadier when appointed secretary to Eva Booth, the General’s oldest daughter, who was America’s commandant. It was shortly after this appointment that she astounded her Salvation Army world by announcing that she had converted to Catholicism. She was baptized as a Roman Catholic in 1897 and entered the Order of St. Dominic taking the name Sister Imelda Teresa. The Holy Sister died in 1916. Her passing was duly noted in the press (New York Times) and in the official organ of Santa Clara College (the Dominican college in Wisconsin where she had been on staff). In both, her career in the Salvation Army received prominence in the story of her life.

POSTSCRIPT Susie Swift’s sister Elizabeth (mentioned in the second paragraph above) also became a Salvation Army officer and remained so until her death. She married Samuel Logan Brengle (later Commissioner Brengle, the first American-born Salvation Army officer to attain the rank of Commissioner and the Army’s preeminent author and philosopher on the doctrine of holiness).

WOMEN’S MINISTRIES REPORT (by Marlene Hope, Women’s Ministries Secretary)

As I am writing this article in mid-August, it is hard to realize that we, in the Women’s Ministries group, are busy preparing for our fall season’s activities at the corps.

Our WF Women’s group will be holding our first meeting of the fall season, on Wednesday, September 12th. We will welcome everyone back and also invite any woman who would like to join us at the church.

If an outside excursion is planned or there is bad weather in the winter, notice of a cancellation is given so that no one will turn up at the church to find they are the only one there.

At our first meeting on September 12th, Captain Graciela will lead the program. (Unfortunately, I will miss that meeting because I will be attending the Senior’s Retreat at Jackson’s Point that week.) Our first meeting will be a welcome-back time to visit with each other and to spend some time discussing what we would like to do for our programs this upcoming year. We share in this responsibility by leading a program; inviting a guest speaker or by helping the person who is leading that week. There is a place for every woman to have a part in some aspect of our meetings if she feels comfortable doing so.

In the Women’s Ministries group, we divide into four teams with each one taking a turn to do a program. Each meeting is based on a theme: Worship, Education, Fellowship or Service.

Certainly, the WF meetings are not serious at all times as the ladies do have fun in the meetings with entertainment, games, singing or possibly going on a trip. One example was our trip to see the tulips and share a meal at Malone’s restaurant at Dow’s Lake.

Eating seems to be one of our specialties because it doesn’t take much for us to have a pot luck lunch! Having a guest speaker with us or celebrating special occasions gives us the opportunity to enjoy dishes prepared by our ladies. This often includes foods prepared by those who have come to Canada from another country.

On September 19th. we will have staff from the Tanjay & Alia store at Billings Bridge come to present a fashion show for us. This will include clothing they are selling for the fall. We have invited the women from The Bethany Hope ladies’ group to join us. They have joined us on previous occasions when the staff from Tanjay & Alia have come with clothes for other seasons.

Women of any age are invited to join us at the church at 12 noon each week starting on September12th. Unless you receive a telephone call telling you otherwise, the ladies are to bring their own lunch. Tea and/or coffee is provided.

We ask God’s blessings on our ladies as we look forward to another year together.

DID YOU KNOW?

Although the Building Advisory Committee (BAC) will not hold its first official meeting of the season until Thursday, September 6th, the committee has, nonetheless, been particularly busy throughout the summer. The following list provides a sampling of what has taken place under the BAC’s direction:

1. Twelve new LED light fixtures were installed in the Gym. Not only do these lights provide a much brighter illumination of the Gym, the quality of the lighting is far superior to the old metal halide units. Of great convenience is the fact that the new units are instant on and off – unlike the metal halide bulbs which, when turned off, required twenty minutes to cool down before they could be turned back on. The switches now number four – one for each bank of lights which will enable shutting off one, two or three banks to permit better viewing of projections on the screen while maintaining some illumination in the Gym for safety. Photographers will be happy, because pictures will no longer have a greenish tinge to them.

2. The pot holes in the parking lot have been patched which should enable us to maintain the surface for a few more years before a total replacement of the asphalt surface is required. While not a perfect solution, it will enable the Corps to budget for the very expensive task of re-paving the entire parking lot.

3. Replacement windows for the south side of the building are currently being manufactured and will be installed later in the fall. This project is long overdue as the draft coming through the frames of the original windows was strong enough at times to blow paper displays on the south wall. This has been a considerable waste of heating and cooling services in this portion of the building – not to mention the cost! Thanks to CSM Linda for undertaking the oversight of this project.

Although not directly a BAC function, Don, our custodian, has stripped and waxed the Gym’s tile floor – a tedious task requiring many hours. Please show your appreciation to Don by wearing clean and appropriate footwear in the Gym. Thanks, Don!

Lt. Adriane Cartmell, who was so active and helpful for years in our YP Corps especially, will be our guest on Rally Day Sunday, September 23rd. Be sure to plan on attending that Sunday service and all the Rally Day activities on Saturday the 22nd. It will be a treat for us all to see and hear Adriane lead from the pulpit as a commissioned Salvation Army Officer.

SUMMER 2018 PICTORIAL REVIEW (cont’d.) Annual Visit of the Thistles to Ottawa Citadel for a Fundraiser

On Wednesday evening, June 20th, we were once again honoured by the visit of Dr. Paul, Pedrinah and the Thistle boys. Both Paul and Pedrinah shared vivid details of their remarkable ministry to the medical needs of the Zimbabweans at the Karanda Hospital. The evening began with presentations by the Thistles accompanied by slides followed by a message from the Zimbabwean Ambassador to Canada, Florence Z. Chideya. The program then moved to the beautifully decorated Gym for delicious finger foods and a silent auction set up by Mary Fisher-Smith. The donations for Dr. Thistle’s work totaled $8,080. Congratulations to Gay Pratt and Lorna Simard along with a team of workers for an excellent and informative evening.

Layman’s Ten Commandments Someone has written these beautiful words. The piece is a must read. Try to

understand the deep meaning of it. They are like the Ten Commandments to follow in life all the time!

1. Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a

"steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout our journey.

2. So why is a car's WINDSHIELD so large and the Rear View Mirror so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and Move on.

3. Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes a few minutes to burn, but it takes years to write.

4. All things in life are temporary. If they're going well, enjoy them ... they will not last forever. If they're going wrong, don't worry... they can't last long either.

5. Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Band of Gold!

6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, friend, it's just a bend, not the end!"

7. When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8. A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied, "Yes, losing your vision!"

9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10. WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES... it takes away today's PEACE.
