Man has lost the righteousness of God. and he cannot attain We'll Do the lob Right... this righteousness by him- self. Man receives righteousness when ' he receives Christ, becoming a new creature. Man then takes on the divine nature. There are three basic character traits in a new Christian. First there must must be an all consuming holy love for God, that begins in our spirit. One must wor- ship God in truth by the way we live. Secondly we are to have a holy hatred for sin. We are not to have a hatred for sinners. Thirdly, there is to be a holy love for other Christians, and for sinners. Sunday, August 1 , Rev. Cliff Williams will be the guest speaker for both services. Rev.

Members and friends were welcomed by Pam and Howard Wright and Henry Kaune sang "I Know Who Holds My Hand", ac- companied by the organist, Helen Stanley.

The pool wall is a minimum of 48 inches above ground, which is the re- quired height for a fence, and Goring asked council if the wall of the pool could in fact be considered as a fence. A lengthy discussion en- sued where council members had mixed feelings as to whether or not the pool wall constituted a fence. The outcome was that council decided the bylaws governing the construction of pools and fences should be thoroughly reviewed by a committee consisting of Deputy -Reeve Norm Steeper. Clerk Ed Melanson and Goring. It was suggested that all pool requirements should be incorporated into one bylaw for easier ad- ministration and enforce- ment. In the meantime. council directed the clerk to advise Disher that although •the bylaw is in review, his swim- ming pool as it is, con- travenes the existing bylaw until it is repealed or amend- ed. Council also directed that Mr. Fleming of Langford Drive be advised his pool is in contravention of the bylaw and he must take steps to erect a protective fence. In the future. to ensure that no pools are filled with water before they are fenc- ed. the fire chief will be ad- vised that the department should not fill any newly con- structed pools without per- mission of the chief building official. Walloy Excavating Co. of London Township submitted a tender of $2.885 for the work on the centennial cairn to be erected at the Lucan community centre and it was accepted. The. ca' ' II. be formed with (he t. `,L" and "C" and will or a bench at the south-east corner of the cen- tre. The cost will be paid out of the balance of the centennial fund (approximately $1,400) and this remainder will come from the general ac- count. The letters will be formed on a 21' by 23' cement slab and the benches will be 16 in- ches high. Steeper asked if any action had been taken regarding the noise from trail bikes at the Scott Elevator field area and the clerk said he had asked bylaw enforcement of- ficer Karl MacNaughton to investigate and Melanson said he will also contact the OPP regarding the fact minors are creating some of the motorcycle noise. Councillor Gary McFalls said the bylaw enforcement officer wished some direc- tion concerning the rigidity of parking enforcement dur- ing this weekend's Lucan Fair Council advised that he should not he too strict for minor parking infractions in the community centre area, but should ensure that the fire exits and the centre en- trance are kept clear accor- ding to parking signs.
