Keith Brown at Lucan United Church on Sunday was based on Matt. 7:1. "Few people obey this commandment" said Mr. Brown. Jesus did not say that a Christian should never express an opinion because we do need the facul- ty of judgement to discern true from false. Jesus is speaking of the trait of unkind criticism. Let • us see all the good things in the livs of people and let our hearts be 'the grave yard of gossip. Before saying anything about anyone ask "is it kind, is it necessary, is it true".?
