Els Vandenberg has graciously of- fered to repair old rosaries for people in the parish if you make ar- rangements with her to do so. Revival Centre Rev. Roger Mason opened the mor-• ning service with the chorus "The Garment of Praise". Robert Burke led the congregation in choruses and the following hymns: Ile Keeps Me Singing", "Since I Have Been Redeemed" and Springs of Liv- ing Water." Rev. Mason's sermon was entitled "The Tongue". During this century mankind has come to great ac- complishments through the advances of modern technology, but has not been able to control and conquer his own tongue. .. The Bible talks about the many characteristics of the tongue. It is something very small but can direct and set in motion the course of our life. The third chapter of James talks about the tongue as being capable of great destruction: "With it we bless God and curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God, from the same mouth come both cursing and blessing." The Bible also tells us this should not be this way. • Matt. 12:36 and 37 tells us that God's judgement upon mankind is partly based on what we say for we shall give account for every careless word we say. "For by your words you shall be justified and by your words you shall be condemned." The tongue is the showcase of the heart. Our words have a way of ex- posing what is inside. A Christian who has a clean heart will speak out clean words. We give away what's in our heart with what we say. What we love we will talk about as our words give us away and expose our thoughts. The tongue needs to be brought in- to subjection to the Lordship of Christ. James 1:26. In order to bring the tongue into subjection we must bring the heart into subjection. It is possi- ble to pay scrupulous attention to religious details but also have careless speech. Perfect religious performance plus untamed tongue equals worthless faith. We can see that relationship bet- ween the heart and tongue. Our praise on Sunday is cancelled by careless talk on Monday LEGION AID — Bill Smith, Lucan, president, Royal Canadian Legion, Ontario Command, presents a cheque for $200,000 raised from On- tario Legion branches for the Barrie Disaster Fund to Sybil Geller, president, Red Cross Society.

We even received a boost from legionaires in B.C.- who were 0 - holding their convention at that time. Minutes after they were alerted to the emergency situation in Ontario, $4,500 was raised on the convention floor." "Response from the Legion has been tremendous," says Geller. "This donation, which represents the single largest contribution to the fund, will go a long way towards restoring homes and properties in the sticken communities." - 'l'he Royal Canadian Legion, cur- rently celebrating its Diamond Jubilee, has a history of responding with financial assistance to com- munities in distress including past disasters in Ontario, such as the Cobalt fire in 1977, the Woodstock tor- nado and Fieldspringer flood in 1982.

"Is Your Faith More than Fire In- surance?"_was Mr. Brown's sermon topic for the morning as he continued studies in Paul's letter to the Romans. Deliverance from God's judgment upon our rebellious ways through faith in Christ's death for us, is the theme of the first part of Paul's let- ter. But as he continues into Chapter 5, he emphasizes the benefits of our faith for this life. Peace with God and peace in the midst of difficult circumstances is also a gift of Christ, as is our privilege of free access into the presence of the King of Kings.
