Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Lucan was filled to overflowing for the Induction service of the Rev. Lawrence Bruce Pocock, as Rector of St. James, Clandeboye and Holy Trinity, Sunday af- ternoon. The Venerable Derwyn D. Jones, Archdeacon Of Middlesex was the Inducting Officer and the sermon was given by the Rev. Allan E. N. Young, of All Saints, London. Speaking from Malachi 2:7, Mr. Young discussed relationships between the Rector and his people and the role of the priest. He said "The Spirit of God guided Bruce here", and he ad- monished the congregation to rejoice when he rejoices and pray when he prays. He also asked, on Mr. Pocock's behalf, for the prayers, love and support of every member. In a very impressive "Commitment to Ministi•y" Easter at Trinity ACW Easter Prayers and Worship highlighted the meeting of the A.C.W. of Holy Trinity Anglican Church April 2 at the home of Charlotte Barker.

Edythe Murdy read a selection "The Resurrec- tion" from Easter Ideals and distributed short accounts on the life and character of each disciple for the members to read aloud. Rev. Bruce Pocock, the new Rector, explained the reason some of the disciples had two names. This kept them safe from persecution as they travelled from place to place, using one name where people were friendly to Christians and the other where they were not. The roll call was answered by members presenting their thank offering and telling of something for which they are most thankful. Deanery Day was an- nounced for April 30 at Christ Church, Newbury. A prayer circle was formed for "Grace" and refreshments were served by the hostess. Mr. Peter Snell, Student Minister from the Ailsa Craig Charge was the speaker at Lucan United Church, while Rev. Keith Brown celebrated Holy Communion at Ailsa Craig, Carlisle and Brinsley churches. Speaking from John 20: 21- 22, Mr. Snell asked the question "After Easter . What?", and said that Easter is the deepest, truest spiritual experience we can have in our lives. Without the cross there would be no empty tomb. Either we come to the cross and find eternal life or we turn away and are lost. Mr. Snell sang two lovely solos "I'll Never Let Go Of His Hand" and "On the Wings of a Snow White Dove" accompanying himself on his guitar and asking the congregation to join in the chorus of the latter. The monthly "Minute Brampton.The Chalice and Paten were presented by Archdeacon A. E. (Mickey) Chovaz, of the Diocese Office.

They also assist in the adoption of such children into Canadian families. Sue and her husband are one couple among a growing number of concerned people who have adopted such children into their family circle. Anne Elliott concluded her series on New Testament standards for the Christian family. "What our children become down the road is what we've made them," she said. Parents are primarily responsible to teach their children to obey from their earliest years. This is a part of true love and a sign that parents really care. Only so will the child be prepared to obey his Heavenly Father and establish a pattern of loving obedience to Him.

The committee this year consisted of Nancy Reed, Jane Forster, Bernice Lockyer and Jean Brown, who worked under the capable leadership of Shirley Ryan. Appreciation was expressed also for the fine Friday evening Danny Moe of Worldwide Ventures, Surrey, B.C., opened a weekend seminar on Dynamic Living at the Revival Centre. His first message was from 1 Thess. 5:16, on always being joyful, as God wants us to be happy. It is our right to have joy, as God made things on earth for us to enjoy. From Proverbs we learn that our bodies function properly when we are joyful, but depression brings physical problems. The key to joy is practising God given hap- piness. The second message of the evening was about worry being a health hazard. Worry is the result of fear. I Timothy 6:7 says God has not given us a spirit of fear, but has given us power (in a spirit of authority), a spirit of love (for others), and a sound mind (which is a positive disciplined mind). When you overcome thinking in areas of fear you do not worry. Sunday morning Rev. Ray Brewster led the service, the ladies of the Church. A short but very special Vestry Meeting will be held following the service on Sunday, April 20. The morning prayer service was conducted by Ken. L. Pocock Sr. father of the rector Rev. Bruce' Pocock. • The lessons for the day were taken from the old and new testaments, read by Rev. Pocock Sr. and Mrs. Roscoe Hodgins.

Information may be ob- tained by calling 227-1222. before introducing Danny Moe. Mr. Moe told of his experience of hearing about his brother being killed in a plane crash on a mountain peak in B.C. He found peace and comfort in the Psalms that the Lord reigns. Playing the piano, he taught the songs "Our Lord Reigns", and "Our Roots are in the River." Rick Thornton led the singing for the evening service. Rev. Roger Mason spoke from II Chron. 16: 9 where God says His people are to have a perfect attitude towards Him. It is a dangerous thing in God's work to rely on our own strength. Doing God's work our way can bring confusion. It may appear to be suc- cessful, but the work may not stand the test of time. When we depend on God our success will be per- manent, and much greater. The Christian must learn to rely completely on the Lord. We have the support of God when our heart is living in God's. When we live in God's support, we can become powerful people.
