A colony of ants rushed to their anthill, Ant's Hillvania, where they sang their song. They had fun scurrying around as ants do. Father ant talked about some, folks not getting along, and some folks just did not like to work. The ants were very busy while they sang their Work Work song. Father ant talked to his son Antony about not clowning instead of work- ing. Antony sang I am Master of my 'Fate, exalting he was going to be famous. Father ant was shocked. Son Antony said he learned from TV how he was going on his -own way. Father ant advised him to be careful with his inheritance, and not to forget the One above. The ants sang you don't have to be an intellectual to know the wisdom from above. Father ant sang of acting out the Golden Rule, ending with All it really is is Love. Left alone, Antony was happy to be on his own, until he saw two ants following him. They begged to stay with him as servants.. Away they went. Along came a long grey worm telling how he worked aa a very im- portant guy. He sang ,of ,Ro,find She ' truth, you just have to take same timev Along came Miss Green Thumb, with a train of workers. She sang of how to plant seeds and care for them. Up sprang three flowers who sang of what you plant is what you grow. Some ugly weeds sprang up and with nasty words said the flowers were theirs. The ants hoed them out. Mrs. Green Thumb said she must have let some bad seeds get in. She sang be careful what you sow. The ants and worm agreed they had to be careful with what they let in their minds. They all sang the choice is up to you. Anthony said the law of the ants was you win or lose by what you choose.

New official is appointed along came a fancy Dragonfly, who sang of Antony getting the good life he woald show him. Misled, Antony sang of going to be rich, noble, and win to be famous. Antony rejected the other ants as he went off with Dragonfly. Along came Antony and Dragonfly to the Pleasure Care Inn, a spider web. Dragonfly sent Antony in this dark cave alone. Friends ants hid close to him. But along came four black spiders who were talking of eating Antony but he was so skinny. Antony begged them to let him go. The spiders asked him a riddle that if he could answer it he could go free. The spiders sang of sowing seeds in different soils, and the results. When they asked Antony the meaning he cried Help, for wisdom from above. Antony then told the meaning of the parable of the sower. The spiders did not want to let him go, but friend ants came and set him free from the web. The spiders bemoaned losing this din- ner. Antony and friend ants ran from the cave. Antony talked about if he had not known of wisdom of how to live from his father he would have been lost. , Friendants asked o. go home •.- with them,,, but Antony said he had done so much wrong he could not go, as he even had lost his inheritance. When friends ants left, Antony decid- ed to go honle at night and look in on Attt's Hillvania - as he was so homesick. Antony thought no one would see him in the dark. Father ant called a meeting because there was a prowler ant outside. all were to go out to catch him that night. Antony came to look in the windows'of father ant's house, singing he was longing to be near, and he was wrong, ending with he was sorry. All the ants came out saying they loved him, and for him to come home. His father welcomed him. Antony said he was so ignorant. All rejoiced singing we love you. Rev. Mason stated Antony learned a valuable lesson that independence was going apart from God. Sin is go- ing our way apart frotnGod. Antony repented. Each of us has to come to a place of repentance to become a Christian. - Lucan Revival Centre Rick Thornton led the song service Sunday morning. Rev. Roger Mason spoke from Hebrews 5:11-14. Today people have become so used to getting things instantaneously, that they think they can get things from God in- stantly. But God does not work that way. There is no magic formula to become instantly spiritually mature. Exposing people to sound Biblical teaching will not make thein mature instantly. One reason is people do not pay attention even to gifted teachers. Thus they do not allow God's word to take hold in their hearts. People can come to church faithfully, yet remain unchanged, as they do not listen to the word, and are unmoved by it. Getting older in the Lord will not make one spiritually mature. Older believers should have the ability to teach new believers, when they listed= ed and learned God's word of foun 3 Ronal truths. As Christians learned God's word they need to grow mature in it. Growing in understanding of God's word should make one spiritually mature. But if there is an unwill- ingness to become skilled in using the word of righteousness, they will not know how tq take God's word and use it in everyday circumstances. They remain spiritual babies. Christians who practice using God's word learn how to make proper judgements in spiritual matters. The Bible gives us instructions on how to live. As Christians ive need to use God's word to become spiritually mature. ,.iDD C14 salts TASTY ThESDAYS Education Director Stewart Toll an- nounced this week that the Middlesex County Board of Education has ap- pointed John D.
