Learning for Lent 'The second of Charles Swindoll's film series, "Strengthen Your Grip" was shown at Lucan United -Church littesday evening. "Aging: Refusing to Shift your Life into Neutral" was the theme. Such negative feelings as uselessness, guilt, self-pity and fear are common among those who "lose their grip" on a positive mental at- titude as aging occurs. Using Caleb as an example, Dr. Swihdoll pointed out some healthy at- titudes an aging person can have, and shared Biblical principles to help us cope with getting older. "We need to view life, as a challenge and not a threat," he said,"and follow the Lord fully, not half-heartedly." • Coffee and lively discussion groups followed, led by Linda Froats and Marj Park. Ruth Butler. and Anne Holdan were welcome committee for the evening, and Keith and Jean Brown were hosts. "Leisure: Attention all Workaholics" is the film title for March 18, and for March 25, "Godliness: The Perils of Hothouse Christianity". All are invited to attend the films remaining in this wor- • thwhile series.

Mrs. Sharon Bourque played the piano, while Mr. Nello Romagnoli played his guitar. The College Girl's Trio of Mrs. Karen Kirkey, Miss Laurie Harrison and Miss Jane Duquette sang Bless the Lord. Mr. Mark Fox told how he came to be a Christian. Searching for love, he received a great disappoint- ment. Then his Christian aunt show- ed him Jesus loved him. Now he has learned to reach out in love to help others, as in I John 4:8. Mrs. Linette Abbott, accompanied by Mr. Romagnoli playing his guitar sang God's Colors. Tony Abbott told that Bible College had taught him to come close to God. Bible College has taught him to love and please God, as he goes out to win others for Christ. Miss Jane Duquette read a poem she had written My Well, based on Jesus' ministry to the woman at the well. Accompanied by Mr. Romagnoli playing his guitar, Mr. Andy George sang It is Well With My Soul. Nello Romagnoli ministered from Hebrews 12:1-2, an exhortation to let us lay aside everything that hinders us in the Christian lite. 't'nere are things we need to lay aside. While escaping from Sodom, Lot's wife, lured byworldly things, looked back, and lost her life. Before fighting Goliath, David was given heavy ar- mour that hindered him. He took it off so he could win the battle. In Nazareth the people's disbelief hindered Jesus from doing any mighty work there. The rich young ruler's money hindered him from serving God. Rev. Roger Mason Sunday evening spoke from Acts 2:1-4, about the Ha ly Spirit's outpouring. There are recorded in the book of Acts several experiences of this outpouring as pro- phecied by Joel. The Bible tells us to ask for the Ho- ly Spirit. In Luke 11:9-13 we read the principle of asking from God as He is willing to grant our requests. Acts 8:14-17 records the Samaritans receiving the Holy Spirit. They had already received the word of God and were Converted, but had not receiv- ed the Holy Spirit as in Acts 2:4. Upcoming Events Sunday morning Dr. G. H. Nunn, conference superintendent, will be speaking.

Rabies rampant in Middlesex Rabies is "rampant right now" in Middlesex County, with 38 cases of the disease confirmed since early February, the director of the en- vironmental division of the Middlesex -London district health unit reports. Robert Carson said this year's total of 52, including 14 confirmed in January, is staggering. Last year, which was a bad one for rabies, there were 106 cases reported. in "all of 1984" there were only 27 cases. Carson knew things were bad when he set out to prepare a report on Mon- day, but the bottom lide was a shocker even for him. "I just about fell over," he said. Even hearing about cases on a day-to-day basis, the tally came as a surprise. "Things are rampant right now.'' Carson said the numbers should begin to drop as the rabid population dies out. "But we've still got an awful lot of cases showing up in the county." Only two of the year's 52 cases have been reported in London, and both in- volved skunks. The rest came from the county where six cattle herds have been plac- ed under quarantine since early February, Dr. John Dingwall, a veterinarian with Agriculture Canada health of animals branch, said Tues- day. Two more herds are under a quarantine^ imposed in early February. Quarantines have been lifted on two (her herds. , Four of the quarantined herds are in West Nissouri Township; one each in Biddulph, McGillivray, Ekfrid and London townships. The figures amount to "about four times as much rabies as we're used to having at any time of the year. Really, the season doesn't mean too much," Dingwall said. He saw some consolation in the fact the number of rabid foxes has decreased sharply. Seven have been confirmed since February 1, compared to 18 in January. Foxes are a primary source of the spread of rabies, he said. With the in- cidence of the disease up in cattle and down in foxes "we're picking up the ones (rabid cattle) that were involv- ed with these foxes." While Dingwall was hopeful that decreasing rabid fox numbers point to a downturn in rabies, he stopped short of predicting a decline." Carson's breakdown of confirmed cases since January 1 showed one cat, two dogs, three horses, four skunks, 17 cattle and 25 foxes have fallen vic- tim to the disease this year.

Lenten theme services continue at United Church The fifth in a series of Lenten ser- vices was held Sunday morning at Lucan United Church. Mr. Brown spoke about the Compassion and the Power of Jesus as the congregation considered the fifth in his sermon series on the Seven Signs of John's Gospel. Jesus, putting aside His own plans and desires, demonstrated the compassion of God by ministering to, and feeding a large and demanding crowd. He also showed His almighty power to meet any need. Philip, faced with the need of feeding such a large crowd, conclud- ed that it was hopeless. Andrew show- ed a shaky faith in Jesus, but the boy with the lunch responded by giving it all to Jesus out of love and gratitude to Him. Mr. Brown challenged the congregation to consider which at- titude we display when faced by a great need, and pointed out that our estimate of who Jesus is will deter- mine our estimate of what He is able to do. He commented also that just as bread needs to be broken and eaten before it can nourish the body, so Jesus, the Bread of Life, had to be broken on the Cross, and must be per- sonally received by us before it can bring spiritual life. Mr. Brown con- cluded, "No problem is so great God cannot solve it, and no burden so heavy that He cannot carry it." The choir's anthem,"My Shepherd �a co will supply my need" beautifully rein- forced the theme for the morning. Donna Vanarenthals spoke to the boys and girls about signs of Spring, and demonstrated many of them from her surprise bag. She encourag- ed the children the thank God for these good gifts of. His.
