Your local library has access to all of the 90,000 different books and magazines owned by the County Library. If the book you want isn't at your nearest branch, library staff will check to see if it's owned by the system. If it is, they will send it to your branch for you. It is this sharing of books and information that makes county libraries unique. In addition to the books it receives in response to readers' requests, each branch has 3 exchanges of books per year. At that time staff return books that have been "read out" at that branch and receive a selection of different books for their readers. We also have a wide selection of books in large print or on tape for those who are unable to read books in regular print.

Verna Ibbitson gave a Minute for Missions talk on behalf of the Mission and Service Committee of the Church'. For many years the United Church has supported Christian work in Korea with financial help for evangelism, medical work and educa- tion, and also by sending missionary personnel. Our contributions to the M. and S. Fund of the Church help support the work of Christ in this land which is presently going through difficult times. Verna announced that almost 50 percent of our $9000 missionary ob- jective for 1985 has now been raised. The congregation appreciated the choir's ministry in music as they sang "God gives His People Strength." Mr. Brown, continuing his sermon series in Romans, spoke on the theme, "How God Puts Men Right." The first two chapters of the Epistle paint a dark picture of sinful mankind, but in chapter 3, Paul em- phasizes God's mercy in providing a' solution to man's problem by giving His Son Jesus to die for'our sins. He uses three word pictures to ex- plain the significance of Christ's death for us, first the legal term "justified", which indicates our First meetings for 4-H clubs Members of the Lucan No. 4 4-11 club met at the home of Heather Gillan for their first meeting September 10.

Charlene Barnes and Wendy Butler, performed the second experi- ment on what happens to the volume of flour when it has been sifted.

News from Revival Centre The Sunday morning service was opened by Rick 'Thornton leading with choruses and he welcomed the Bible School students back from their sum- mer absence. In the sermon, the question was asked "How can we accept God's jealousy as something that we are not to have?" Before we can answer this we must define what God's jealousy really means. When God appeared before Moses and spoke to him (Exodus 34:6 and 7) at Mount Sinai He declared to him His characteristics, such as com- passionate and gracious, slow to anger,abounding in loving kindness and truth, forgiving transgression and just. Whenever the children of Israel started to worship other gods, this provoked the jealousy of God and caused judgement on them. Among people jealousy is a resent- ment or envying of something so- meone has that we don't have, which eventually leads to hate. Jealousy, it seems, was the cause of the first murder, the killing of Abel by Cain. So it can be difficult for us to unders- tand in human terms that God is a jealous God until we come to the realization that this godly jealousy is in relation to where we are standing with Him and where we put our affec- tions. Are they God centred? It is comforting to us as believers as his jealousy is zealous to protect the love relationship between us and God. It fights to protect His love (the Church) against a rival. It's an aspect of His covenant love for His people - the same as a marriage contract. Literally Israel was married to God and God was often portrayed as a hus- band and Israel was portrayed as the wife. When Israel walked from God she was referred as committing spiritual adultery and being unfaithful. We think of idols as objects of wood and stone but idolatry could be anything that displaces our affection and loyalty to God and moves in and is something greater to God. People idolize all kinds of things today. This is what God is saying in the second commandment. Fire call The fire call on Friday, the 13th! was to the home of Richard Elizabeth Welsh, Alice Street where a blocked chimney had caused smoke to filter into the house.
