The wise head of every fam- ily takes care to prepare a Will and carry ample Life Insurance with one unselfish motive in .mind to assure his family of security and peace of mind. Doesn't it make sense then that one should pre-arrange his funeral and leave instructions as to his wishes? Generally speaking, should it not be YOUR responsibility to arrange YOUR funeral? ' Any member of the Ontario Funeral Service Association will sit down and discuss pre-arrangement with you without obligation. Why leave this task to someone else?

Church news At the United Church Aev, Elwood Morden conducted the morning worship, and entitled his sermon "Grasping Life's Serpents." This weird tale of a serpent changing into a stick, will give us a deeper un- derstanding, and a Parable for our time. Young Moses, brought up as a Prince in Pharaoh's household, knew he was of Hebrew blood, and when he slew the Egyptian, and fled from the country, to Milian, where he found love, marriage, and security. God chose him to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, when Moses said, they will not believe me, and will say that God did not appear unto me, So God changed the rod in Moses hand to a serpent, and told hime to grasp it by the tail, and it immediately became a rod again. This was done by God so that Moses could prove that God had chosen him to lead the Israelites out of ggypt, The first thing we have to do as Christians, said Rev. Morden is to grasp the tail of the serpent of doubt, we inevitably have to ex- perience doubt, even Jesus doubted,, then there is the serpent of fear, fear of loneliness, failure, social conflict, nuclear war, per- fect love casts out fear. At St. Thomas Anglican Church the congregation welcomed their new rector, Rev. Gregg Smith and Mrs. Smith, The sacrament of Holy Communion was celebrated, Rev. Smith being the celebrant, assisted by Miss Marion Herbert, who read the scripture lesson. In his communion message, Rev. Smith spoke on the Journey of the Israelites and how we as Christians can learn from it, how it effects our faith, and how we can apply it to our own lives, At the Granton Com- munity Bible Church, Mrs. Art Postma, a graduate of . Ontario Bible College, and now a family counsellor at Victoria Hospital London, taught on "Our Holy Calling" from Romans 1:1-7. This passage teaches us that we Christians like Paul, are called to be set apart to live The Gospel and to tell others about God's desire to have us turn to Jesus, as One who paid for our sins, and the One who gives us victory over sin in our daily lives. Cancer Education meeting The Lucan-Biddulph Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, in cooperation with the Merton branch, held their annual cancer education meeting in the Lucan Public School on Thursday evening. Guest speakers were Dr. Keith Gay, medical con- sultant, and Sister Judith, nurse co-ordinator, both members of a team with the palliative care service (care of the terminally ill) at St. Joseph's Hospital, London. The first to speak was Dr. Gay, who explained how the team functioned, In his capacity as medical con- sultant he would advise the patients when changing from curative to palliative care to accept the result, but not to give up the treatment, and to be allowed to keep their dignity and privacy. The patients are taught to function independently at Clandeboye ladies tour CLANDEBOYE Mrs. R.
