Dorothy Dedel's story for the children, prior to Junior Church was on the theme that we are all God's children, and the choir sang the anthem "In Steadfast Faith I Stand". Rev. Keith Brown, speaking on the last Beatitude, told his congregation that per- secution has been a characteristic of the Christian Church since Christ laid down His life for us, and it was through this persecution that the Christian Church became strong. "Christians are vulnerable to persecution because they will not compromise with their principles" said Mr. Brown. A persecuted Christian will be forgiving as Christ on the cross was forgiving and will return good for evil. The reward is that Christians possess a sure deed in heaven and have a foretaste with the plea that each of us might so yield our lives to Christ that we may live in His blessedness even though we may persecuted. Broo mba ll underway True to their ad- vertisements, Lucan girls' broomball is really a ball. Two games were battled out this week; Tuesday the Cougar Hot -Shots trounced the Pink Panthers 3-1. Cougar goals were scored by Kelly Vankerkoerle, Jo-anne Goos and Jenny Milton while Nicole Welsh replied for the Pink Panthers. Thursday's game, good up and down broomball, ended in another punishing defeat for the Pink Panthers 3-1 for the Hot -Shot Cougars. Carolynn Lankin got the only goal for the Pink Panthers. Scoring for the Hot -Shots were Carrie Lane, Sherry Smith and Tish Mouritzen. If not for the super goal tending of Tabatha Froats, things could have been worse for the Pinkeys.

Members and friends were greeted by Don and Betty Ankers and Testament Lessons were read byKay and Betty Ankers. The Gospel reading from St. Luke 4: 14-21 was the theme for Rev. Bruce Pocock's message on the life of St. Luke, Evangelist and Physician. Luke was a Gentile doctor and when called by God to be an Evangelist and Physician of the soul, was given a tremendous vision of the infinite sweep of the love god. He recognized the healing power of the Risen Christ to heal the disease of the heart - hatred, injured, doubt, despair, darkness, and sadness. Luke gave us two very important books to study, one on the life of Christ and the other on the life of the early Church.
