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,

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

tre. After the service a "Br-

In this, the last issue of the
Exeter Times -Advocate for
1981, I would like to take the
opportunity of thanking all
those who have helped to
make the Lucan page more
interesting reading during
this year.

is "alive and kicking".
Thanks again and a very
Happy and Healthy and a
more prosperous New Year.
Your correspondent.
some tragedy in our lives -
must follow it where God
leads us as the Wise Men
did. 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

Infant Baptism to his grand-
daughter, Christine Elaine,
