Times-Advocate, 1979-03-14, Page 20Page 20 Times-Advocate, March 14, 1979 Minute talk feature at Lucan Church “Follow Me...To The Valley To Serve” was the theme on which Rev. Keith Brown based his sermon in Lucan United Church on Sunday morning. Speaking from Luke 9:28- 43 Mr. Brown told his congregation the three disciples saw Jesus changed before their very eyes. This was a terrifying and awe­ inspiring sight for them and they wanted to prolong this heavenly experience, but Jesus did not encourage them. Many of us have had “mountain-top” experiences which we would like to prolong but life isn’t like that, said Mr. Brown. God is with us leading us to the valley where there is much need and suffering. Jesus gave himself unstintingly for others as almost everywhere He went there were those who were sick and troubled and needed Him. It is the same today and Jesus would have us follow His example, caring for those in need and feeding the hungry of the world. We are God’s handiwork and must devote ourselves to good deeds in following the example of Jesus. Jesus loved All people and prayed for those who per­ secuted Him. To love as Jesus loved means that we must let His love show through us. The choir sang a lovely anthem “What Wondrous Love is This!” directed by Helen Brown. Mrs. David Park gave the first Mission and Service “Minute Talk” for the year, thanking members for their excellent response to this fund last year and giving a list of the many things in Canada which are supported through the Mission and Service. The flowers in the Sanc­ tuary were from the funeral of the late Joseph Caidler, Kent Street. The prayers of the congregation were ex­ tended to his loved ones.

DID YOU EVER DRIVE $0 to 100 miles or more to take advantage of a super-duper special? A local $50 item 50 miles away would have to sell for $33 in order for you to break even. THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION certifies that 16.5 cents is what it costs to drive your car one mile. So if you've driven 100 miles round trip to pick up that special, you'll have to add $16 to that purchase. That sweet buy can suddenly turn quite sour. AND EACH 100 MILES takes from 6 to 10 gallons of gasoline which the potential shortage of oil-derived fuels z would encourage us to save.
