All kinds of things were preached against at one time..........

Skating at public rinks.
Swimming in public areas -- pools, beaches, lakes, etc.
Watching TV
Cutting hair
Wearing pants/shorts

One of the ladies I respect above most in the world told me once that reading comics was preached against and she wouldn't do so at one time.

Listening/singing worldy music

Even Ladies Auxiliary.

That reminds me of a story my father used to like to tell.

My grandfather Clyde was in the habit of taking the comics out of the Star Weekly, and throwing them out the window as he drove home in the brick plant truck.

As the story goes, one week, as he was making this heave and wave offering to the Lord, the local constabulary pulled him over and fined him for littering.

Which just proves that it costs to be holy.

My mom tells the story of her then pastor's wife saying that playing pickup sticks was a sin...I kid you not!!

The killer is many years later, this dear Saint is in her high 70s and spending the weekend with us. She sent me to the video store to rent Sister Act Two with Whoopie Goldberg, AND wanted to play Rook or some game and needed a real deck of cards...:sshhh

My wife cringes at me reading the Comics. Her Grandfather was as Maple Leaf describes and preached "Funny pages are only for Funny People." He started 31 churches all over NH, Maine and NB. Her Father used to tell of going to a fellowship meeting and you never knew if the preacher that day was going to be Jesus Name or a Trinity preacher also.

They were both glad in when the Pine Tree District was broken from Pennsylvania and again when they divided into three New England Districts. NB never did divide, but did not have the number of churches the US did either.

The original Atlantic Canadian (Maritime) District included Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Isalnd, Nona Scotia, and Newfoundland.

Nova Scotia and Newfoundland were spun off into a new district.

Later, Newfoundland was made a separate home missions district.

Approximately a decade or so ago Quebec became a distinct home missions district.

The Atlantic District now is composed of churches in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

And, Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth is Sovereign over all her loyal subjects in theis glorious Dominion of Canada. God save the Queen, and God save Canada from the reign of her get.


What NB churches did Sis. BOOM's grandfather found, and how far to the east are you travelling this summer?
