The Learning for Lent committee Authors at St. Patrick's In Room six of St. Patrick's School, Lucan, the grade 2's And 3's have pro- ven to be budding young writers. To date 76 books have been published, no small feat since only one of every four stories written guts published. Parents have been helpful in prepar- ing book covers from cardboard and wallpaper. The teacher, Mrs. Lombardi, types the edited stories and the authors then illustrate them before they are bound to the covers. The writing .program has proven to be highly popular among the students and has also in- creased the supply of books available for the students to read. At the end of the year the students will have the books as a keepsake of their initial ex- perience as authors. 4-H MEET Members of Lucan No. 1, opened their third meeting by reciting the 4-11 Pledge.

Lucan Girl Guides were in charge of welcome and offering at Lucan United Church service on Sunday morning. Linda Froats read the Scripture portion, and Pam Wright took children's story time. She told the children about Dennis who really forgot where he left his sneakers, and about other boys and girls who just pretend to forget in order to get out of work. "But," said Pam, "God never forgets us." We can always count on Him. the Choir's anthem "Even for One" was a good Lenten reminder of Christ's love shown on Calvary for us. Rev. Brown's series of sermons on Ephesians chapter 2 continued with the theme "No Longer Strangers". Paul reminds his readers that when a person received Christ into his life as Lord and Saviour, not only does he enter into a new relationship with God, but also with other people.. Through the Cross God broke down the wall of hostility between Jews and Gentiles who believed. In a similar way God heals relationships in our day too, Mr. Brown pointed out. Just as the spokes of a wheel come together at the hub, so people come together through their common love for Christ. Coming events Wednesday at 7:30, Lucan Choir meets for regular practice time.

Lunch was served at close of themeetine_ Sunday morning song leader Mr. Rick Thornton led in teaching a new song, Christ is King. Rev. Roger Mason, from Proverbs 14:26, talked about confidence. If peo- ple lose their confidence in anything, it will collapse. People need to have confidence in God as in Psalm 27:1-3. Inspite of difficulties, a firm belief in. God will help spare, or help one in times of difficulty. The basis of not fearing is to have confidence in God. In Proverbs 14:26 we learn a strong confidence in God tells us that God will be our strength. Confidence means to speak freely one's beliefs. 1 John 3:21-22 says if we have confidence in God, we can speak our minds to God in prayer. 1 John 5:14-15 affirms this that the basis for answered prayer is confidence in God. This comes by studying God's word. Christians need to have confidence in other believers God expects Chris- tians to build up a trust in one another as in 11 Corinthians 2:3. Parents need to build up confidence in their children, helping them along the way. Pastors, expressing confidence in their tongregation, can see problems worked out. People can be healed physically. emotionally, and spiritual- ly. Phillipians 1:6 shows the con- fidence that what God starts, He will finish. Expressing confidence in so- meone will help them to do well. Rev. Roger Mason Sunday evening spoke from Nehemiah 6:1-14. After all the trouble Nehemiah and the Jews had gone through the walls of .lerusalem were built, waiting for the doors to be hung on the gates. Now the ^nemies plot to get rid of Nehemiah.

NEW ALL ROUND CORDS - Sharon MacDonald, District Commissioner, stands with Tabitha Perry and Kelly Thompson, after they receive the highest Guide award, the All Round Cord. The 18% RSP. from DSP. 15 years make it count for more. Eighteen per cent is an impressive return for any investment. But what makes it truly significant - particularly for Retirement Savings Plans - is time. Because it's the long-term record that counts. Which is why we believe Industrial Growth Fund is an excellent RSP investment. Over the past 15 years, this top -performing investment Fund has "looked both ways" to average 18% in compound annual returns -and achieved total growth of 1263% in net asset value since inception. It's done well in the short- term, too, averaging 19% annually for the most recent three years. That's exceptional performance. But at Dominion Securities Pitfield it's the 15 years that count for more with us. If long-term performance is what you're looking for in an RSP, you should at least con- sider Industrial Growth Fund. For a complete package of information on The 18% RSP - and how it can count more for you - complete and return the coupon below, or call your nearest DSP office. Today.
