Page 2A Times -Advocate, August 6, 1986 HAUGH HONORED — Assistant editor: Ross Haugh.,who has covered - e usable Bayfionservation Authority beat for over 20 years was recognized with a plaque presentation at Wednesday's; 40th an- niversary. Former chairman Ivan Hearn, left, made the presentation. Revival Centre news Rev. Roger Mason Sunday morning ministered from Matthew 22:34-40. He told that the Pharisees by Jesus' time had reduced Moses' commandments from God to 636 do's and don'ts rules. In this scripture a Pharisee asked Jesus what was the great command- ment. These two Jesus gave sum- marized Moses' commandments. Jesus' words said we should love God with all our heart, mind and strength, meaning with all that is within us. To love God with all one's heart is to be intimately involved in one's af- fection for God. This love is not in- herited. One can be involved in the necessary affairs of life and develop a love for God as in Psalm 42:1. To love God with one's mind is to be willing to allow God to conform one's mind to see and think the way God Three cruisers in speed pursuit Three police cruisers were damag- ed in two separate mishaps Friday night during a high speed chase on Highway 7. Corporal Munro of the Lucan On- tario Provincial Police detachment set damages at 47,500. A London city cruiser and two from the Lucan detachment driven by Con- stables Roby and holland were at- tempting to stop a vehicle driven by Michael Smith of London. Smith has been charged with dangerous driving, failing to stop for police and driving while his licence is under suspension. Sunday at 4:30 p.m. vehicles driven by Valerie Walsh and Robert Macavlay, both of London collided on Middlesex road 16. Constable Craig estimated damages at $3,500. Constable Hodge listed damages at $2,600 when vehicles operated by David Sans, Granton and llarvey Granger, RR 5, London were in colli- sion on Concession 6 at 6 p.m.. Monday. Lucan united church This is the day the Lord has made: a perfect Sunday morning - to worship our God - summer flowers - an organ played softly. "in the Garden" - "1 know who my Redeemer is" and Amazing Grace - all mood settings, what a wonderful atmosphere in which to sing Ilis praises at Lucan United Church. Mrs. James Robertson did just that - accompanied by her daughter Jane - the beautiful 9lst Psalm. "i came to Ilim in love" sang in her warm con- tralto voice, brought the presence of the Lord even choser. The sermon lesson was given by Larry Cruttenden - whom God directed to help us deal with the pro- blems of heresy in the church today. First of all we must be knowledgeable and responsible for our answers, he prepared, by studying the word of God for ourselves that those seeking the right path will be lead id theright direction. "No one rothes to the Father but Me" these are the words of Jesus and must be taken literally There is no other name, prophet or spiritugil advisor, regardless �f why' they may be - by which we can be sav- ed except God's Son - Jesus Christ. wants one to think. The way God thinks is found in God's word, not ac- cording to the worldy way. To love God with all one's strength means to place one's possessions, money, time and resources to God's disposal. It does not mean to quit one's secular job to become a minister. It does mean to place one's energy into serving God, doing what we do as unto the Lord. Loving God with all one's heart, mind, and strength should be a pro- gressive lifetime occupation and goal. Daily talking to God in prayer, and daily reading of God's word are the two things that are the way to love God. Communion was served after the service. Rev. Roger Mason spoke from Galations 5:25 Sunday evening. Paul exhorts Christians to live and walk in the Holy Spirit. A believer must come under the disciplined control of the Holy Spirit. When a person becomes a believer he receives the Holy Spirit. To receive the Holy Spirit is to allow the Holy Spirit to overwhelm and empower one. One must have a hunger for the presence and power of the holy Spirit. A believer needs to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 en- courages a believer to keep on being filled with the Spirit of God. Christians need to learn to quiet themselves to listen to the voice of God to let God speak to them from His word, and in prayer. God wants obe- dience and a disciplined walk with Him.

Helmets, trunks, Bible Iolnat hockey -school Hockey helmet, swimming trunks and Bible are among the items jamm- ed into suitcases each summer by hundreds of young males aged nine to 17 attending one of the more than a dozen Christian Athlete Hockey Camps held in various locations • across Canada and the US each year. For six activity -packed days bud- ding hockey players work, play and worship with current and former NHL players and coaches whop are also professing Christians. Laurie Boschman, Jean Pronovost, Doug Smail, Roger Neilson, Ryan Walter, Wally Buono, Pat Bonnett, David Forbes, Paul Henderson, Mike Gart- ner and chico Resch are among the men willing to share both their exper- tise in hockey and their faith in Jesus Christ. This year 153 boys from across On- tario and the northern states atten- ding the southwestern Ontario CAHC at Huron Park were coached and counselled by Dean Prentice, New York Rangers' player Mark Osborne and Winnipeg Jets' goalie Dan Bouchard. All stayed at CCAT's Huron Hall, and had the use of the col- lege's cafeteria, auditorium and other facilities, the swimming pool and the adjacent arena. The summer hockey camps are an extension of Hockey Ministries Inter- national, which in turn grew out of Athletes in Action to provide away - from -home chapel services specifical- ly for professional hockey players and their families. The Huron Park CAIIC was set up eight years ago by 3M employee Ray Wood, director of this year's camp, who believes "my life would probably have been different if I had .been ex- posed to Christian athletes as role models while growing up in London". Wood has always been involved in sports, and decided the Huron Park Troubador to visit Ilderton Chris Rawlings is a modern troubadour. He carries his tales from town to town always collecting fresh images which he incorporates into his music. Besides being a composer and songwriter he is also a teacher and has a growing national and interna- tional following. He has performed at folk festivals in Britain and Europe and has toured Canada from coast to coast. His most recent record album is "Chris Rawlings'- Album of Original Songs." Rawlings enchants his audiences with toe -tapping, knee -slapping reels and jigs. He sings ballads and love songs, workers songs and fun songs. He has a rich melodious voice and is a superb guitarist and recorder player. On this tour he is accom- panied by Christophe Obermeir, a Quebec fiddler. The bearded hard has the ability to entertain both young and old with equal success. All performances are free of charge but some libraries have a limited number of free tickets available. Rawlings will be presenting a children's show at the ilderton Legion Hall on August 21, location would be ah ideal place to bring together teenagers interested in hockey and athletes who could testify to the power of God in their lives. "The CAHCs are based on the three Cs of chapel, coaching and com- munication", Wood explained. "They offer a complete program for the complete person - physically, mental- ly, emotionally and spiritually." Those attending the southwestern Ontario CAHC at Huron Park were divided into four groups according to age. A typical day, as scheduled for group two, began with wake-up at 7:00 a.m., breakfast at 7:30, ,chapel at 8:00, 55 minutes of sports, another 55 of physical conditioning exercises, on to the arena at 10:20 and on the ice at 10:50 for 90 minutes of hockey. After lunch boys and hockey pros spent 45 minutes in "huddle", a Bible study. Coaches' corner, consisting of 45 minutes of classroom instruction in hockey tactics and techniques came next, followed by a swim before heading back to the arena until 5:00. Group two boys had an hour to themselves daily after dinner, then another hour of scheduled recreation until the canteen opened for 15 minutes at 8:00 p.m. All groups had the same items on their agendas; only the hours were different to give each their share of ice time. Everyone stopped for a break at the canteen before joining together for what Wood called the "key time", the daily one-hour team meeting. During this informal, relaxed hour the pros spoke of what their faith meant to them, and outlined the when, where, why and how of their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The teenagers were encourag- ed to join in, and ask any questions they wished. Lights -out at 10:00 (half an hour earlier for the youngest boys) were preceded by another 30 -minute "huddle". Mark Osborne maintains that though hockey players don't want to reveal their weaknesses orbe thought sissies, the strongest people he has met are Christians. He said young people face tremendous peer pressure to conform. After becoming a Chris- tian 10 years ago at age 14, he speaks from personal experience when he says "My responsibility and role as a Christian athlete is to show kids looking for joy and purpose and satisfaction in life that things like drugs are not the answer. Jesus Christ is." Wood agreed wholeheartedly, noting the camps prepare boys to be better hockey players and better per- sons. "We don't teach religion; we show the way to a personal relation- ship with God", Wood said. Hockey Ministries international has published an inspirational hook called Breakaway containing the testimonies of 11 hockey stars, and have also produced a film of the same name featuring professional Chris- tian players who tell how their faith in Christ enables them to meet the challenges of a demanding career. Ryan Walter and Jean Pronovost will be the headliners at an HMI arena crusade in La Malbaie, Quebec September 3 and 4.

Works superintendent Doug Johnston reported the tar and chips program was well underway. He said 100 tons of recycled asphalt was ar- riving Wednesday morning. Reeve Steeper told Johnston he had heard favourable comments on the new bridge constructed on Duchess street. Johnston reported on a recent traf- fic count at the intersection of Main and Market streets. He said the survey taken between 5 and 6 p.m. on a Thursday evening showed 298 vehicles northbound and 280 going south. The count was taken to support a request for traffic lights at this location. Deputy reeve Harry Wraith sug- b .ted a similar survey be under- taken at Main and William streets when current culvert works are completed. The public works report included an immediate start on a survey for a new water supply by Huron -Middlesex Engineering. Council approved the purchase of two pieces of climbing apparatus as recommended by parks and recrea- tion. One will be obtained shortly and the other next spring. The planning committee has recommended a change in lot levies whereby all severances creating new housing lots will be charged five per- cent of value for parkland. The water bylaw wilrbe amended to require an increase in the hookup deposit form $40 to $55. i B3uAness D)TOCR ACCOUNTANT -PUBLIC of orri�5 omuth Chartered Accountants P.O.
