From the book, "Illustrations Unlimited" under 'Enthusiasm' is this cute little story, called "Tough to hide feelings"...An easterner who walked into a western saloon was amazed to see a dog sitting at a table playing poker with three men. He asked, "Can that dog really play cards?" One of the men answered, "Yeah, but he ain't much of a player. Whenever he gets a good hand he wags his tail." _ The news from VV alton [ Compiled by Ptty Bank* Phone 337-6860 | Crime Stoppers A truck parked on the side of the road near Lot 15 Cone. 3 of Hay Twp., while the driver and his son went into the bush, was heavily damaged by vandals. A large vehicle was seen doing a donut at a nearby intersection and some youths got out and kicked the driver's side of the car, causing $1,200 damage. Alvin McDonald greeted people attending Duffs United Church Jan. 16. Adam McClure started the service off by lighting the Christ Candle. Rev. Banks welcomed people and announced Bible Study will be Jan. 19, and it be titled, "Light and Dark". If weather permits the annual meeting will go as planned with Church starting at 11:30. He also announced that on Feb. 1, the UCW will hold a "Country Dinner" at 11:30 to 1:30 at the church. Following the lunch, those who like to play lost heir and euchre can stay and relax and enjoy the card games. A fee of $6 will cover the beef lunch and the card games. Rev. Banks read the story of Samuel and Eli and then told in it ways that the young children could understand. He asked how many of them liked to have sleepovers. Many hands flew up in acknowledgement. Well Samuel had a sleepover too, he said, only he was three when he went on his sleepover and it was at a Temple and not with his friends but with an old Priest named Eli. Rev. Banks said how Samuel at the age of 12 heard God call him several times and was chosen to be a prophet. So, he said, you never know what wonderful thing can happen at a sleepover. Dorothy Sholdice was the scripture reader and she read 1 Corinthians 6: 12-20 and John 1: 43-51. Rev. Banks called his sermon, "Listening for God". There were at least three noteworthy features about God's call to Samuel; God Learning French makes a world of difference called Samuel by name, God perseveres by calling more than once until the connection has been made and God calls those who might be deemed insignificant or unsuitably equipped for God's work. God is always putting calls out to ns. But do we ever listen?

How often do we really take the time to hear what each other has to say? We are being called to work for the Kingdom, but as with Samuel, God may have to call us many times before we hear and are ready to say "Speak God, for your servant is listening."
