Verna Ibbotson In the monthly Minute Talk for Missions gave the standing of the M & S fund and told of the Mutuality Mission Program. Rev. Keith Brown con- tinued his series on "The Sermon on the Mount", speaking from Matt. 5:17-19. Jesus tells us in this chapter what the character, in- fluence and conduct of Christians is required by God. which sets a high stan- dard for every one of us. Jesus said "I came to fulfill the law, not to destroy it" and to fulfill the law demands right conduct on our part. Jesus lived the perfect life and so demonstrated, that such a life demanded by the law, could be lived. The Christian is given power to live a life above the Law's demand. but a new life is needed to do this. If we give our hearts and lives to Christ we will see life as we have never seen it before.
