Bishop confirms candidates
The U.C.W. made a quick
change in program as the sur-
prise snowstorm arrived. Instead
of the Bible Society Building tour
and film with Rev. J.C. Thomp-
son the meeting was held at the
church. Mrs. W.C. Tupling led in
a devotional period with the
theme of "Peace". Several
ladies read scripture selections.
A meditation by Dr. Norman
Vincent Peale was read entitled
"Get some Rhythm into it!"
Someone once said that the
rhythm of the universe is the
heartbeat of God. It is this
rhythm we seek in order to live in
peace.
The United Nations hymn was
sung. A brief review of task of
United Nations was followed by
coloured slides on. U.N,I.C.E.F.
It was pointed out that local
governments contribute one and
one-half times as much as we
have given to meet the emergen'
cy needs .of children
The president, Mrs. M.H.
Hodgins thanked those taking
part before conducting the
business meeting when plans
were discussed for the annual
bazaar to be held December 1,

Advent is the season that begins
the Church Year. It is a time to
prepare for Christmas, the com-
ing of God into the world in the
person of Jesus Christ.
The Every Family Visitation
will continue until each family of
the Parish is visited.
On Thursday, November 30th
there will be a celebration of the
Holy Communion, This is St. An-
drews day, and he is the patron
saint of Missionaries, It was he
who brought his brother Peter to
Jesus. So the women of the
Church meet to participate in the
Holy Communion on his day.
St. James' Anglican Church
At the recent meeting of St.
James Cemetery Board it was
decided to have the ornamental
evergreens trimmed, the fence
repaired at the road and a new
fence put around the Cemetery
Ask no charge
in driver course
A delegation, representing the
Middlesex County Safety
Association asked the Middlesex
County Board of Education to
make Driver Education available
to all eligible secondary school
students at no fee and if possible,
as an optional credit course.
Trustees agreed to investigate
and report on the cost of such a
plan.
In other business, the board
approved a 1972-73 school year
instructional skating program
for Lobo and London township
schools. Instruction to be given
at the new Ilderton arena will be
financed as a public service by
the Ilderton Lion's Club. It is
expected that 859 students from
grades III to VIII will take part
in the program.
The Board also approved in
principle an experimental grade
VII French course for 1973-74 at
CerilenniM,
Prince Andrew and Oxbow
schools under the direction of
Prof. W.E. Kieser, of Althouse
College of Education,
Plans were made to insulate the
cemetery chapel, and install
eavetroughs. In the Spring the
new range is to be completed and
the gravestones are to be sup-
ported where needed.
At the service Sunday Rev. R.
Carson preached on the Problem
of Wealth. He said Christianity is
a materialistic religion. All the
stories in Luke concerning
wealth extol the good steward
who puts his money to work to
make more money. The love of
money is condemned such as the
foolish man who tore down his
barn and was going to rest and
live on his stores.
So Mr. Carson said ascetism
or self-denial is not the answer,
He said people need to be able to
look at the situation critically
and analytically and discover
where they are. Then they need
to adopt the 5 percent church
giving so that the Church will not
have to spend so much time on
the need for money and will be
able to spend time on evangelism
and social service,

plete the form which was in-
cluded in the November bulletin

Remember there was a

forms be completed and
forwarded to allow Santa time to
obtain the gifts.
Sorry, but no forms will be
accepted after November 25, It's
up to you - if you have lost or
mislaid the form give the lads at
the bar a call on the telephone
and let them have the informa-
tion required.

Hot Tip - Santa advises he still
has some openings for any non
profit organization that would
like to use his services. Branch
540 is most happy to have an IN
with Santa and all that is
necessary is to call the Lucan
Legion at 227-4751 or Sid Daley at
227-4216 - and leave a message for
Santa as to when you would like
his services.
Incidentally there is absolutely
no charge as Santa just loves to
