After they sang You Can't Keep it to Yourself, Miss Myrna Long testified that if one loves the Lord, you really can't keep God's love to yourself. They then beputifully sang The Old Rugged Cross. When they sang I am Blessed, they asked everyone to join in singing it. Mr. Whitfield said the Lord Jesus blesses us every time we remember He saved us. Our problem is we try to do things on_our own, while the Lord wants to help us. When we back away from a situation thinking we did not do it right, we are forgetting the Lord can help us. Our heavenly Father loves to be able to do things for His children. Because He loves us He enjoys help- ing us solve our problems. He stated the Lord Jesus Christ is the answer to every problem we have. The Viscounts closed meaningfully singing God Will Take Care of it All. Sunday evening Rick Thornton led the singing.

An evangelist must both live a godly life before others, and com- municate the gospel message to others. The gift of evangelism involves pro- claiming the good news of Jesus Ch,•ist. This good news that Jesus died for our sins must be communicated to sinners. The gift of evangelism also involves conversion, then discipleship. After someone accepts Christ. they become a member of the body of Christ. They need to be con- nected to a body of believers. a church, to grow spiritually. One with a gift of evangelism has a strong desire to share their faith with others, and they get results. An evangelist can be full time, part time, a clergy, or not. Phillip in Acts 21:8 is called an evangelist. Ile was one of the men chosen as a deacon with a gift of ser- vice. Acts 2:37-38 tells of results of Peter's message with people repen- ting. Apostle Paul illustrates the gift of evangelism in Acts 14:1. In Acts 11:19-21 believers preached the gospel wherever they went, and many ac- cepted Christ. All believers have the responsibility to share their faith with others, as II Timothy 4:5 exhorts. Upcoming events --September 14 -- Western District Conference al Revival Assembly in• London.

United Church "Although Paul paints a dark and painful picture of man's nature, yet his description is mild compared to classical writers of the day," said Mr. Brown Sunday morning at Lucan United Church, as he continued his series on Paul's letter to the Romans. The pagan Gentiles•of the day, the moral folk who condemned others yet failed to see their own shortcomings, and the religious Jews who had the advantage of God's Law, all failed to live by God's righteous standards just as completely as modern-day folk who try to earn their way to heaven by their attempts to be good. Mr. Brown continued, "No one was ever made right with God by obeying His law, for the more we know, the clearer it becomes to us that we are not obeying it. So►tieone must reach out a hand to lift us up."

Fall is harvest time and farm vehicles are ever present on our road- ways during this season. Farmers are reminded that farm vehicles require two white lights to the front and at least one red light on the rear of farm tractors or trailers and wagons being drawn by farm tractors. This lighting is required from one half hour before sunrise to one half hour after sunset or when at- mospheric conditions such as fog are present. This lighting is in addition to the slow moving vehicle sign required on the rear of farm vehicles. Daylight house break and enters are an ever present problem and are difficult to combat. The police rely on the local residents to keep watch tor suspicious persons in the neighborhood and report any such vehicles or people to their local police immediately. It is important to report strange vehicles which are observed at premises where you know your neighbours are away working during . the day. Obtain a licence number and a description if al all possible. Rememtx'r. you are the eves and eats of the Police and your assistance can be a great benefit 1,1 combating this type of crime.
