SID DALEY
Possibly a better title for
this column would be
‘Daleys Infrequent
Comments’. However, folks
I do have a valid excuse, my
dad who is in his 101st year
has been quite ill, so my
wife and I travelled to the
Soo to be with him for six
weeks. After much persua
sion we finally convinced
him to see a doctor who ad
mitted him to hospital, we
stayed a few extra days
prior to returning to Lucan
for business reasons.
My brother from the
States stayed with him dur
ing our absence, a week ago
we received a call advising
that dad had under gone
successful surgery. Satur
day, April 29 we will be
returning to the Soo as we
have been advised the ‘Old
Sea-dog’ is well and hearty
once again and will be
released from hospital Mon
day. So again we will stay
with him for awhile until he
gets settled in again in his
bachelor apartment.

man was killed near
Chatham when he drove
through an intersection
where the stop sign had been
removed.”
The persons responsible
for these occurrences are not
young children but those who
wish to be classed as men
and want to get away with
childish behaviour, A truck
had to be used to haul the loot
away”, concluded the
constable.
Learn about
Bible study
“How to Study the Bible”
was the topic of the second in
the series, chosen by
Reverend Keith Brown for
his sermon Sunday morning
at the Lucan United Church.
How do we treat the Word of
God? Where is the Bible in
your home? Do you use the
Bible during your voyage
through life? These were
among the questions
discussed.
As we need food for our
bodies each day/so do we
need spiritual food, once a
week at Church and or
Sunday School is not enough
and we must learn how to
feed ourselves by Bible
Study.
Mr. Brown gave three
points to help us in Bible
Study: Choose a good* clear
printed Bible, preferably one
with modern English. Make
up our minds to read our
Bibles regularly, asking God
to speak to us from His word,
then put into action what God
reveals. John, said Mr.
Brown, is the best book with
which to start Bible Study
then follow up with the other
Gospels.
As we study, we become
clean channels through
which the word of God may
go and God uses us as a
means of bringing blessing
to others.
