Special service, Sunday Churches ready for match A most enthusiatic and fair- ly representative group of the Middlesex Churches held the finalmeeting before the Inter- national Plowing Match, Tuesday evening at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Revival Centre Bill Davies Sunday morn- ing led the song service. Mar- tha Sullivan, playing her guitar, sang Pass It On, followed with I Love This Family of God. Rev. C. J. Williams spoke from Luke 23: 44-49, a word picture, of Calvary. Although God loved the world enough to send his Son to die for it, when Christ died on Calvary, the world did not understand His sacrifice. Jesus did not die as a martyr, or a criminal, but as a substitute for us, for our sins. • Although Jesus 'explained why He was going to die, and His resurrection, no one understood. People did not understand God's divine plan then and they do not unders- tand it now. God's plan is on- ly understood by the work of the Holy Spirit. If a person desires God's work, the Holy • Spirit will reveal it to him. When Christ arose from the dead, He went to heaven to present His poured -out blood for the sins of the world, so that all who accept His sacrifice for them can be under the power of the protecting blood. Rev. C. J. Williams Sunday evening ministered from Ephesians 1:4-7 which ex- plains that through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God accepts us. According to the riches of God's grace we have obtained an inheritance to God's glory. We can be kept in divine health because of our inheritance.

A large number of children and their parents were present for the service, during which awards for faithful attendance were given. Secretary treasurer Sherry Lane distributed the cer- tificates, while Superinten- dent Jim Robertson and Mr. Brown congratulated each child. A meaningful addition to Rally Day this year was a short service of dedication for the 15 teachers and officers, during which they pledged themselves with God's help to fulfill faithfully the task they have undertaken. The congregation were ask- ed to pledge themselves to support the teachers by their involvement and by their prayers. A highlight of the service was a solo by Sunday School pupil Neil Froats, "Take a look at me." Only One Talent was the theme of Mr. Brown's message for the boys and girls. Dorcas used her talent of sewing to show Jesus' love to many needy people in her home town of Joppa. Her friends wept bitterly when she died but God raised her to life again through Peter so that she could continue her loving work. God has given everyone at least one talent and He wants us to use it for Him to bring His love into other peo- ple's lives. The Couples' Club holds their September meeting Thursday at. 8:15.
