Brown's sermon Sunday morning at Lucan United Church. When Joshua took over the leadership of God's people, the Lord promised His blessing if Joshua kept God's Word central in his thinking in order to "observe to do" what it commanded. Likewise today, Christians need to open their hearts to what God has to say to them through His Word, taking time to read and meditate in order to "observe to do" what He shows them. Said Mr. Brown, "Many of us today don't want to know God's will in order to do it, but just to have it as an in- teresting option to our own desires. But God's command here leaves no room for alternatives," If our Bible reading is to help us, we must put our faith to work by letting God have His way through our obedience to the truths that He shows us. Mabel Froats in her Minute Talk for the Mission and Service Committee, reported on what the National United Church is doing about the tragedy of the Boat People. A refugee relief fund for $500,000 is being established, and Church people are asked to contribute through the M. and S. Fund of the Church. She described also other Relief and Development measures that- have .beerre undertaken in needy Maas to help strike at the roots of poverty and distresS.
