The theme of the service was "Love" so all the hymns, etc. were on this topic. Jane Forster, a member of the Friendship Unit sang the solo "Love Divine" and Verna Ibbitson of the Dorcas Unit told the Children's Story prior to Junior Congregation, which was led by Betty Hall. Beth Cowdrey, leader of the Friendship Unit, read selected Scriptures on "Love", gave the Pastoral Prayer. Linda Froats and Shirley Jones sang a lovely duet "Isis Love Has no Limits" and Iva Hodgins gave the message on the chosen theme. "The world is lamentably short of out- going love" said Mrs. Hodgins and asked the question "Have we the kind of personality that is marked by kindness, unselfishness and consideration for others?" giving the quote John 15:13. Our approach to others changes when we come into a Living Personal Relationship with God. Paul tells us many things about love, one is to make love our aim. Without the spirit of love in us, life is defective, incomplete and imperfect. The hope of life and of the world is in the resurrection of Christ, the power of God let loose in the world. The message closed with the Prayer of St. Frances, repeated in unison. Mrs. Ryan thanked all who had participated and Janey Robertson, particularly for playing for the service. Leda Revington and Dorothy Lankin welcomed friends at the door and were joined by Mabel Froats and Donna VanArenthals to receive the offering. Next Sunday the service will be in charge of the Couples' Club, and "The Living Waters Gospel Singers" take the service. Everyone is welcome to come and hear this group which has travelled coast to coast ministering through their music. A "love" of- fering will be received to help defray their expenses. i 1 E.J.

Both congregations are joining in worship together for the months of July and August at 9 a.m. During July, services will be at St. James and during August they will be at Holy Trinity. The New Testament Lesson was read from Romans 7: 21-8:6 and the Gospel read from Matt: 11:25 -30. The Homily delivered by Rev. Pocock wasbased on these readings. Paul points out very clearly, the complete sinfulness of man. We desire to do right, but evil lies close at hand ever tempting us, and causing us to sin. But then Paul tells us how we may obtalin relief from the burdens of our sins. We are called to follow Jesus Christ, giving up our selfish ways. In the gospel, Jesus invites each of us to "Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," These comforting words give us hope to live our lives daily, as our Saviour asks - in the world but not of it. Rev. Pocock concluded his message by singing "Come to the Water" During the receiving of the Bread and Wine, Penny Hodgins sang"Fill My House To The Fullest" ac- companying herself on the guitar.

It is a beautiful testimony when God looks at us and calls us His friends. Rev. Ray Brewster con- ducted the evening service. Loys Melanson played her flute as she joined Ken Allen playing his violin for "The Old Rugged Cross". Gary Schlegel ministered from Romans 6:17-18. Verse 18 shows that man can be freed from the bondage of sin in which he fell in Eden, then canbemade righteouainGod. When Adam fell, the sin nature became inherent in all mankind. The reason people do wrong is because of inherent sin. The biggest battle man fights is between good and evil. Man is not spiritually equipped for this battle on his own.

Tuesday evening for family night Rev. Williams, from Rochester NY, but a Canadian, spoke from Mark 10:46-52. This story tells how Jesus gave Bartimeaus an opportunity to make a confession of his need. Jesus gave him what he asked for, his sight. Jesus still waits for us to tell Him our need. Many times we do not have enough faith to ask largely. We should not be limited to a particular need, as Jesus wants to release us from all our problems. We need to ask God to fill our spiritual vessels, for power to serve him. The Women's Auxilary held their monthly meeting at the home of Cathy Mason in Ailsa Craig, Wednesday June 24.
