Lucan Electors Thanks .for your ex- cellent support at the polls November 8. I will do my best for all residents of the village. Tom England 7hanh You To the voters of. Lucan and Biddulph Townships. Fred Dobbs Nathan Blay, Philip Hardy, Amanda Hotson, David Pocock, and Andrea Van Geel. Rev. Pocock invested each of the children with the assistance of Beaulah Hardy; organist and Kay Egan and Kay Haskett, choir mothers, who presented them with their surplices as a symbol of their membership. With joyful voices they of- fered praise to God in sing- ing, "Somebody Touched Me." During his talk with the children, Rev. Pocock, con- tinued his series of talks about prayer. Each day we should include in our prayers; a prayer of thanksgiving for strength and blessing; a prayer of confession and repentance for our mistakes; a prayer of petition for our daily needs; and a prayer of intercession for the needs of others. Rev. Pocock, based his ser- mon on the reading from Hebrews which directs our at- tention to the need of making God our friend. "It is a terri- ble thing to fallinto the hands of the living God," says the writer of Hebrews: Who is your, God? We as Christians desperately need to know the true nature of our God. This comes through study of His Word, prayer, and meditation. He is neither an all power- ful tyrant to be feared or a "celestial grandfather" who loves us no matter what we do. He is a God who sets stan- dards for those who choose to Jhanh you for your support in the Lucan area Jim Shipley Deputy Reeve Biddulph Township of Biddulph Thanks to all voters.

Hodgins, FLOWER PLAQUES —.Displaying a unique flower pla- que at Saturday's Lucan craft show was Kinsu Helbling. UC goers browse through new books Early comers to Lucan United Church on Sunday were able to browse through anattractive collection of books from the Church Library on display in the front vestibule. Librarians Flora 'Robertson and Iva Hodgins were on hand to assist. Nan- cy and Leroy Maguire were at the door to welcome the con gregation as they arrived. Following the choir's love- ly ,anthem. "He Touched Me Shafon Newman gave a missions Minute Talk. She described the work that is be- ing done through Chaplaincy committees in many Cana- dian centres to encourage and train volunteers to befriend lonely elderly folk in nursing homes. She challeneged the con- gregation to consider the needs locally. Beth Cowdry told the boys and girls a story about Tommy who discovered that rules are valuable, and that God Who loves us is the wise rule -maker. Mr. Brown concluded his series on Bible promises with some thoughts about God's provision. Paul, although in prison, and without any means of earning his support, was able to affirm God's pro- mise both for himself and for all who are committed to the Lord. Ile said, '!My God shall supply all your need accor- ding to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19. Paul recognized the source of provision as God Himself - the God he knew in a personal way. That supply is Sufficient for every sort of need. for despite obstacles we may see; all the resources of earth and heaven are'at God's disposal. Although God sup- plies on a scale that cor- responds to His limitless wealth. we often underestimate His resources. and fail to reach out for the supply of our need. This supply flows into our lives through Christ, the one mediator between God and man. His promise is sure to those who put themselves in His hands and look to Him to meet their needs.

Christ's ministry to them through unbelief, He moved on to those who would receive Him. Many today still close their lives and churches to God. God is going to restore to the churches, preachers and prophets to open spiritual eyes. Sunday ,evening Wendy Robertson and Patty Harris sang, I Love You Jesus. Rev. Roger Mason, Christianview Bible College teacher, gave the definition of diligence. The Bible speaks in four areas of being diligent. First is to be careful to guard our hearts against evil things. Proverbs 4:23 warns us to keep our hearts. Be careful our affec- tions do not get out of balance, as the Bible tells us to set our affections on things above.
