Sermon on religious barrenness
Sunday morning Nello Romagnoll,
playing his guitar. sang "Jesus My
Friend". Rev. Roger Mason spoke
from Genesis 30:1-8, a story of
Rachel, unable to have children, giv-
ing her maid to Jacob to have
children for her. Just as Rachel was
barren; there is also a spiritual
barrenness.
One result of barrenness is blaming
others. Jealousy came over Rachel
because her sister had children from
Jacob. Churches can be jealous when
other churches are growing. Just as,
Rachel should have rejoiced because
her sister had children, so churches
should rejoice when other churches
are growing. Jacob told Rachel to talk
Valentines for
seniors, Thursday
The Lucan senior Sunshine and
Busy Buddies held their meeting
Thursday at the Scout and Guide Hall.
Before the meeting Rob Brady ex- .
plained about the chicken barbecue
dinner to be held at the Scout and
Guide Hall on February 20. Cost is
$6.00 per adult, children $3.50 and
seniors $3.50 for child's portion. The
meal consists of Pineridge barbecue
chicken, baked potatoes. salad and
homemade desserts. No tiekets will
sold on the day of the event. Tickets
were sold at the meeting.
There was one belated birthday.
Cleve Pullman, and four more
celebrating birthdays were all wish-
ed a happy birthday- Mildred flirtzel,
Jackie Lyens, Nelson Squire and John
Lyons.
Harry Noels announced that Mar-
jorie Park was asked to show pictures
of her trip to Australia and New
Zealand on February 27.
Don't forget to bring your signed
valentines for exchange on Thursday.
A reading "Husband Buying a
Valentine for His Wife" was
presented by Greta Gibson. Mabel

winner was Muriel Cobleigh. Euchre

to God about her barrenness. Chur-
ches need to turn to God for help to
cure spiritual barrenness. Christians
cannot blame Sister Flapmouth or
Brother Critical for their not bearing
spiritual fruit.
Trying to deal in one's own way to
solve barrenness can produce trouble.
Rachel tried to have sons from her
maid to be her own, but this was not
God's plan. It is God's plan for Chris-
tians to hear spiritual fruit
themselves instead on having others
do it.
Rachel tried another scheme to
have children by bribing her sister for
a special fruit supposed to cause fer-
tility. Using gimmicks in churches to
bring people in is not God's plan
either. -
Verse 22 tells us Rachel finally went
to God in prayer, and God healed her
barrenness. She was fruitful in bear-
ing a son Joseph. -Prayer is the -key -to -
spiritual fruitfulness in both the Chris-
tian and the church.
Doug and Martha Butler, as Mrs.
Butler played her guitar, led the song
service Sunday evening. They taught
a new song "You are the Chosen
People".
Rev. Roger Mason spoke from
Nehemiah 5:6-7, and Ephesians 4:26,
concerning anger, which we all face.
Ephesians 4 :26lls.us not to let.anger -,
lead us into sin of hostile words, and
sinful aetions: A righteot-anger does
not lead into sin, but uncontrolled
anger does.
Then this verse advises not to let
sunset find you still nursing anger.
Prolonged anger gives the devil op-
portunity to tempt one to sin. Ter-
minate anger before sundown, not
allowing anger to cultivate problems.
Then this verse advises not to let

Next admit anger as Nehemiah did.
with righteous anger over terrible in-
justice. Christians can get angry over
sinful practices and injustices. Jesus
was angry over cheating in the tem-
ple and drove the money changers out
of the temple grounds. God's anger is
controlled with our welfare in mind.

week. council agrees with the plann-
ing advisory board that any projects
on this property be open to private
developers rather than a council
operation.
Steeper said council will have
enough financial strain with the pro-
posed sewer expansion and construc-
tion of the Benn municipal drain.
He added, "We have enough tied up
in this project with the $60,000 we paid
for the property."
Steeper said council "was quite im-
pressed" with a proposal from Bill
Nieulandof The Villa to establish a 40
unit complex on the property owned
by the village. He added, "It is the on-
ly concrete proposal we have seen."
Expansion of the village's sewer
services could begin as early as this
fall.
Reeve Steeper said after consulta-
tion with solicitor Bob Benner and the
village auditor a different approach
to funding this project is possible.
Under a straight user fee, jhe cost
for each property owner could be
reduced from $160 to $113 Per annum.
Four area .
accidents
This would be over a 25 year term.
Council has met with Harry Hardy,
owner of farm property adjacent to
the present lagoon system regarding
problems he could face with expan-
sion. These include fencing, drainage
and concerns over hunters in the
lagoon area.
The provincial governfnent pur-
chasing agency is negotiating with
Hardy to obtain additional land.
Government officials have waived
the rule whereby a farmer selling
land for non-agricultural purposes
must repay tax rebates received over
the past 10 years.
Four motor vehicle accidents were
included in the 28 general occurrences
investigated this week by officers of
the Ontario Provincial Police
detachement in Lucan.
One person each was charged with
impaired driving and a violation of
the Liquor Licence Act. In addition
ohe driving suspension of 12 hours
was issued.
Monday at 7:45 a.m. a vehicle
operated by Paul Anderson left the
roadway of Highway 4 and entered
the ditch. Constable Hodge listed
damages at $10,000.

Geald and Irene Lynn with Cheryl
and Gerry Jr. acted as welcome com-
mittee for the day. Sue Barr read the
Scripture, and Marj Park gave the
"Minute for Mission" on behalf of the
Mission and Service Committee.
She drew the attention of the con-
gregation to the United Church
Stewardship magazine which each
person had received, and pointed out
that it summarized the wide range of
worthy projects which our Mission
and Services givings assist.
Marg McRoberts told the children
a story about Sherry who thought she
had given up her chance to win a
coveted prize by picking her flowers
to beautify God's House. But she
discovered that the more flowers you
pick. the more they bloom! The
Choir's anthem "The Love of God"
helped give a clear focus for the mor-
ning's worship.
Flowers in the sanctuary were from
the funerals of the late Svend
Mouritzen and Bill Shipley.
