Wheat and flour at United Church A stalk of wheat and a bag of flour were two of a number of items displayed to the boys and girls by story teller Barb Coughlin Sunday morning at Lucan United Church ser- vice.

Larry Crut- lenden read the scripture portion for the day. Mr. Brown's topic in the continuing study on Paul's letter to the Romans was "flow to Conquer Sin", based on the sixth and seventh chapter of the epistle. Many people. like Paul, ex- perience a strong desire to live a life pleasing to God. This desire comes as a result of the new life Christ brings us when we receive Him However, most Christians, like Paul. ex- perience a conflict as the old selfish life style battles with this new desire, and they find theiii;elves powerless and frUstraled. as they try to fulfil the longings of the new nature. Only when we recognize our own powerlessness and turn the reins of our life over to Christ will we discover the victory we seek.
