Spencer Bruce Mothers of London, driver of a nor- thbound vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene by coroner Dr. Robin Shearer of London. The Mothers vehicle was involved in a' head-on collision with a southbound Canadian National Railways pickup truck driven by Wayne Bennewies, RR 3, Dashwood. A passenger in the Mathers vehicle, Wayne Keenleyside, also of London was seriously injured and remains in University Hospital, London. Bennewies and passengers Ben Cunningham, RR 2, Lucan; Mark Consitt, RR 3, Kippen; Gary Williams, Goderich and David Collins, Walton were taken to hospital, but, all have since been released. The fatal mishap occurred on Middlesex County road 22, about one kilometre north of County road 13. The accident was in- vestigated by Sgt. Bruce Shaw, Cpl. Don Cox and Constable C.S. Fleming of the Lucan OPP detachment. Damages were set at $4,800. Five of the other seven accidents investigated by Lucan OPP officers oc- Revival Centre Rev. Wm. Cochrane led the singing for the morning service. Rev. Ray Brewster told the Junior Church the Bible story about Peter and John praying for the crippled man at the temple gate for his healing. As Jesus' love healed this man, His love can heal us. Mr. Brewster ministered from Eph. 5: 14-21, telling us we should be filled with the Holy Spirit, as in Acts 2:4. It will always be God's will that Christians be filled with His Holy Spirit, as this is the source of power to live for God. A great problem today is people are bored with their lives, while the answer is to be in touch with God. Let the living water of the Holy Spirit fill us with joy. For the evening service Loys Melanson played the piano as she sang He's My Jesus. Rev. Ray Brewster spoke from John 4: 22 on the importance of praising God, as Rev. 5 says God is worthy of praise. There are many results of praising God. Praise is a sign of victory, produces joy, and the voice of faith. Praise lifts us out of our world into God's world. This Thursday, at 12:00 noon.

This has been the theme behind the snow shoe program at St. Patrick's School, Lucan. The appreciation of outdoor activities was enhanced by several enjoyable outings. After an introductory workshop on Snowshoeing attended by teachers Susan Barry, Jack Gardiner, and Mary Maxwell, a class set of snowshoes were obtained for the use of these classes for the week of February 3-8.

The grade seven students became so expert in using their new foot wear that they made a class visit to Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Morkin's home down the Roman Line from the school. Hot chocolate and Mrs. Morkin's home made cookies were served to all students. The grade 5-6 students made a similar visit United Church At Lucan United Church Sunday Rev. Keith Brown spoke on "Jesus : God's Answer to Doubt", asking the questions "Are doubts a real problem in your life? Do you sometimes feel that you are not much of Christian because of your doubts?" "Well," said Mr. Brown, "you are not alone!" Doubts come when we try to apply the teachings of the Bible to our lives. and when circumstances control us causing despair and fear. Doubts have a moral cause. We know God's way, but we want to do our own thing. When doubts come there are three things we can do • bring the problem to the Lord himself, believe the evidence that He presents and believe God's Word. if we do these three things, doubt can be defeated. God sent Jesus into this world to be the answer to all our doubts. Let us accept Him with our whole heart. The anthem "If My People..." was presented by the choir under the direction of Helen Stanley. The flowers in the Sanc- tuary were from the funeral of the late Ida McRoberts (Mrs. Eldon) and the prayers of the congregation were extended to the family.

Committee, who advised the congregation that the Official Board and her Committee had approved the Presbytery suggested allocation for the Charge.
