Big draw at arena Thursday, the province - wide "Wintario" draw was held at the Lucan arena. Quite a number of our town's population turned out for the special event. Some came, hoping to strike it rich, but only a few shouts were heard amongst the . crowd. Some were lucky enough to walk away with some do6r prizes. Before the draw, a talent show was held featuring groups such as, "Good Vibra- tions" of theSweetAdelines, the Middlesex County Junior Farmer Choir, a square- dancing group from Delaware, and the crowds favourite, "Jake the Peg." For those who were there, they will always remember the excitement of being a part of a live television broadcast but for those of you who couldn't make it you still had the opportunity of seeing familiar faces right in your own home. 1 United Church Mindy, Peter, Tim, Shawn and Abby Bates and their mother Betty were on hand to greet friends arriving for wor- ship at Lucan United Church, Sunday. Mr. Brown continued his sermon series on the Pro- mises of God as he dealt with the promise of God' Presence. "My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest", the Lord promised Moses long ago. This promise of God's close companionship still applies today. "Our paths may change, but our Partner and His presence will never change," said Mr. Brown. This promise brings us the assurance of ultimate safety and the guarantee of strength in times of trial. Moses met the conditions for the fulfil- ment of this promise, for he first gave himself to God. So likewise must we. The flowers in the sanc- tuary were from the funeral of the late Maria Macadam. The sympathy of. the family was extended to the family in their sorrow. • There will be no Prayer and Share Fellowship meeting this Thursday. It has been postponed until the following week.

Revival Centre In the absence of Rev. C. J. Williams, Wm. Davies con- ducted morning service at Lucan Revival Centre. Bruce and Carmina Thomson, play- ing their guitars, sang Get Right With God. Then they taught the chorus The Lord Liveth. Before the message Bruce and Carmina sang Most Incredible Life. Mr. Davies said the Bible says it is appointed unto men once to die, and after the judgement. We do not know when or how old we may be. When Jesus was on earth, many people followed Him, because of the miracles He did. But when He died, they left Him. Jesus died saying, "It is finished." The notion of worshipping all other gods is finished. The sacrifice of animals to false gods is finished. All the works for salvation are finished. Good works should come from, not for, salvation. The Women time for excuses on being, or not being, a Christian is finished. Because of Christ's sacrifice, satan's powers over believers is finished. Fear of death is finished, because Christ rose from the dead. Fear was finished. When Christ went back to be with His Father God, He sent the Holy Spirit to give us power to live for Him.
