She United Church Christmas Wise Men's question to King Herod, "Where is He that is born King of the Jews?" was the theme of Mr. Brown's address at Lucan United Church on the first Sunday after Christ- mas. Although these scholars came from a land that worshipped other gods, they knew something of the Jews' expectations of a Messiah, and thus were prepared for the message God spoke to them through a star. "But"said Mr. Brown, "unlike the Jews who knew and did nothing, they put into practice the knowledge God had given to them, and came to do homage to the newborn King". So today, only when we obey the truth God shows us do we meet Christ for ourselves. King Herod, through his Jewish advisers, found the answer to their question in the Scripture. Thus the Wise Men were led to the Word of God that it might lead them to Christ. Some of us see no star because we have not obeyed the book as far as we understand it. But those of us who see the stars God uses to guide us - some event, some great joy, Revival Centre Sunday morning Allan Melanson read a letter of thanks from a man in Pa. the Living Waters singers had won to the Lord. Then he sang "My Desire." Rev. C.J. Williams spoke from Mark 9:20-9, saying Nothing can stop us from be- ing with God. When a person is born again into the Kingdom of God, then he begins to develop into the person God wantshimto be. In the absence of Mrs. Lorraine Armitage, Mrs. Williams played the piano for the evening service. Ken Allen, playing his guitar, led the singing. Rev. C.J. Williams spoke from Mark 9:23, 11:22-23 and 16:17-18 on believing God. Signs are supposed to follow those who believe, but too many Christians follow the signs. God wants Christians to make an open confession of who they are and in whom they believe. The Bible is our authority on what we receive from God. Upcoming events December 31, Thursday evening, at 10:00 p.m. a watch night service will be held at Lucan Revival Cen- tre. After the service a "Br- ing and Share Dinner" will be held in the Fellowship Hall.

Only humble and obedient seekers receive an answer to the question "Where is He?" The answer comes to us from God when we trust and obey Him. Flora Robertson's beautiful solo, "Trust in the Lord" brought a message of special hope to those who are troubled, and a word of guidance to all for the New Year ahead.
