McCallum hooks catfish Patty and Cassandra Banks greeted worshippers at Duff's United Church July 24 on the outside stairs where they pointed out to everyone the hole in the cement where the lightening had struck. Rev, Banks welcomed everyone and read the announcements. Patty Banks helped with the scripture reading. His sermon was called, 'Spiritual Warfare'. The hymns Stand up for Jesus, Onward Christian Soldiers, Fight the Good Fight were sung. The reading taken from Ephesians 6, concerned spiritual warfare, not a military conflict in which blood would be spilled and lives lost. The honour of the Christian church has been greatly besmirched, says Rev. Banks by those who have inter­ preted this Ephesians passage and some of these hymns so literally by marching into battle, bearing the standard of the cross, on a mission to destroy the enemies of the cross in the name of the Prince of Peace. Visitors return to Sask. Mr. and Mrs. James Lamont visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Dale Lamont of London. Mr. and Mrs. Alan Carter and Kristol of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta left for home on Friday, July 22 after a two week holiday visiting with his parents Mr. and Mrs. George Carter.

They spent the weekend there, returning Sunday evening to Brampton and back home on Monday.

Twp sets Continued from page 9 membership, in the amount of S250, to the International Great Lakes St. Lawrence Mayors' Conference. Examples of this would be the Crusades where Christians from Europe went to the Holy Land to fight a war against the Jews and Muslims or the fighting between the Protestant and Catholics in Northern Ireland. The Ephesians passage needs to be understood as highly meta­ phorical, he said. Paul proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ in a non-Christian world. Christianity was recognized as subversive. The secular world has always recognized the subver­ sive nature of Christianity and has used one means or another to suppress it. Rev. Banks said that we are engaged in spiritual warfare with a world whose values, visions, beliefs, and directions bear little or no resemblance to those proclaimed by Christ and his followers. "Therefore, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able ... to stand firm," he said.
