His message was taken from Luke 21:8-11 and 25-33. Events happening in the world are signs pointing to the second coming of Christ, Mr. Bewster told his congregation. The many false leaders today are a fulfillment of prophecy that such people would come just before Christ returned. The many wars among nations and the earthquakes also fulfill prophecy. Christians are to expect, Christ's coming with joy, as we do not know just when his coming will be, but he commanded us to be ready when he does come. At the evening service Mr. Brewster's message taken from Jeremiah 2 :11-14 pointed out that Christians need to believe that God is planning good for us, no matter what comes our way. He will bring us to the right end when we look to do His will with all our hearts. Clare Swartz provided a message in song when he sang a medley of choruses. Rev. Keith Brown, back from a month's holidays with Mrs, Brown at Tobermory , Toronto and a Conference at Rosseau, spoke on "I am the Light of the World" at the service in Lucan United Church on Sunday.

Jesus' light is more like the steady beam of head lights leading the Christian every day of his life, and His followers are to be lights, just as He is the light of life. "He that follows me shall not walk in darkness", Christ lights the way for his followers, dispelling all darkness and fear of many things. By the grace He By MRS. E. SUMMERS 3RANTON Rev.
