Members of Holy Trinity Anglican and Lucan United Church held a joint service Sunday at 11:15 in the former church. Prayers were,repeated for the fourth Sunday after Trinity and Rev. John Holland based his sermon on the last verse of the old hymn " What a Friend We Have in Jesus", particularly one line "Are We Weak & Heavy Laden, Cumbered with a Load of Care". This message is also found in Matthew 11:28 and in the book of Jonah. Mr. Holland said that our relationship must be a personal one with Jesus Christ. "God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten son" but we must accept responsibility for our lives, what we have said and done before we cast our burden upon the Lord. He asked us to go to God in prayer saying "Lord I have sinned". The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was celebrated following the service. The flowers in ,the Sanctuary were gratefully accepted from the funeral of the late Harry Bawden, brother of Mrs. Harold Hodgins, and the prayers and sympathy of the congregations are extended to the family.

There are two ways saving electricity can save money. First, the obvious one. The less you use, the less you have to pay for. And to- day, electricity is 'simply too valuable to waste. Second, something not so obvious. Ontario uses more and more power every year. This means an ever increasing investment in plant and equipment,.. and their cost is rising rapidly. The cost of fuels is also increasing rapidly. These costs inevitably show up in the price you pay for electricity. You can help to slow down the growing demand by using electricity wisely.
