Mr. Brown continued his series on Paul's first tetter to Timothy dealing with more of Paul's teaching about prayer ie worship. Paul taught theimportanceofpray- ,ing for kings and other rulers. Ile believed that prayer could change things and people, even the rulers of his day who were so fiercely persecuting Christians. Christians should pray, Paul said, not only to achieve peace in society, but because it pleases God. When we pray we accept and obey the command of God to do so, thus showing Him our love and trust. Said Mr. Brown, "True prayer is seeking that God's will be done." Paul goes on to say that God longs for all men to be saved. He outlines the loving provision -God has made through Jesus for this to be so. But in order to receive the benefits of Christ's salvation, all men must hear the Good News and respond. Christ himself instructs unto prayer that workers may be sent forth for this purpose. 1. Lucan senior choir prac- tises at 7:30, Wednesday, and junior choir at 6:30, Thurs- day.

Williams, from Luke 2:46-49, showed because Jesus' parents found him in the temple, that there is a spiritual need in man to be met. Luke 4:16:30 tells of Jesus in the synagogue reading of the prophecy of His work on earth. Although He was in the midst of His hometown people, they re- jected Him. Jesus comes to us in the midst of our experience of trying. to reconstruct our lives. Jesus is in'the midst of our perplexity. In Luke 24:36, Jesus came into the midst of His disciples, bringing them peace. When people meet in God's house to worship, God is there in the midst.

In the midst of human problems Jesus met His need. Jesus died for a debt He did not know,proving to the world -He is a friend of sinners. We are responsible to put Christ in the midst of our spiritual experiences. - Rev. C. J. Williams Sunday evening taught a new chorus, You are the Song That I Sing. Rev. Williams read. Mark 16:12-20, and Acts 1:1-9, about Jesus giving his disciples the. commission to go forth to preach after they had receiv- ed power from the Holy Spirit. This power of the Ho- ly Spirit is to evangelize the whole world. God never asks' us- to do anything we cannot do, as with His help we can do what He asks us. When" Jesus told the disciples to go back to Jerusalem to wait to receive' power for the servii:e He was calling them to do. They, like us, are not to seek signs, but they, like us, are toseekJesus for power from the Holy Spirit. ; tided with an Ontario Hydro truck driven by John Gilliland, Strathroy at 1:40 p.m. Wednesday.

The federal government's SUM- MER CANADA program will provide funding to non-profit organizations and municipalities to help them employ students,and give them career -related experience. • Students who can't find summer jobs don't develop the kind of work experience that helps them bridge the gap between school and work. It might even mean a student's education comes to a sudden stop. SUMMER CANADA is designed to change that — by helping employers help students.- ♦ If you are a student interested in real work experience, you should register at your local Canada Employment Centre. If you are a member of a non-profit organization that would like funding.4o hire students, read on. COMMUNITY PROJECTS SUMMER CANADA applicants who want funding to hire students to work on commu- nity-based projects must be able to employ three local students. Work should result in tangible goods or services to the community and provide marketable job experience for the student workers. Community projects must last between six and eighteen consecutive weeks during -the summer. 1 • INTERNSHIPS FOR STUDENTS Internships supply funding to non-profit organizations and municipalities that will hire students as temporary additions to their staff. The emphasis is on creating projects that will give developmental work experience in a well supervised setting. These internships (which must last six to eighteen weeks during the summer) may continue for three consecutive summers. That gives the employer increas- ingly+skilled workers, and the students secure summer employment that builds valuable Community Projects Sponsor work experience.
