Mr. Moore, a one time wrestler,
now retired, looks and sound like
"Beryl Ives". He has dedicated his
life to serving the Lord and is a great
blessing to anyone who hears him
perform.
This date is an important time for
remembering our war dead - those
brave men who gave their lives to
save ours. Years ago Chamberlain
that great British statesman said,
"Peace in our time" remember, that
statement provided to be false and so
today "Peace in our time" is an
unknown quantity. Our country. this
soil, has never really known a war.
Thank God, but there are different
kinds of war.

forces of darkenss and evil. The bat-

ple Jesus taught us in His preaching
and through His miracles to invade
the stronghold of hunger and disease.
He fed the 500. He healed the sick and
He conquered Death forever.
The children watched the dedica-
tion of Andrew Wesley Stanley, son of
Helen Brown and Wes Stanley. This
is always a beautiful service. A
beautiful little boy, dedicated to God,
just as Jesus' parents, Mary and
Joseph did for Him long ago in the
temple. The prayers of the congrega-
tion go with the parents.
Do make an effort to worship with
us each week because so many in-

begin to tell you here. so unless you
don't wish to be disappointed, don't
miss one Sunday as the holiday above
all holidays approaches.

The Lucan branches of the Royal
Canadian Legion, Girl Guides,
Brownies, Cubs and Boy Scouts
paraded into the church Sunday mor-
ning, and deposited their color flags
at the front of the church. Rick Thorn-
ton led the worship service.
Mrs. Judi Ross showed a passport,
explaining you have to have one to
travel to other lands. Showing a hand-
ful of suckers, she asked for five
children to come up for them. More
than five came. Mrs. Ross explained
that the kingdom of God is also free
for anyone who accepts Jesus Christ
as Lord and Saviour. This is our
passport to heaven.
Mrs. Marlene Thornton, accom-
panied by pianist Mrs. Lorraine Ar-
mitage, beautifully sang May This be
a Place. Rev. Roger Mason
ministered from Matthew 19:16-22.
This story tells of Jesus requiring a
commitment a young man felt he
could not give. There are causes we
are called upon to make com-
mitments to.
Rev. Mason mentioned the com-
mitments the Guides, Brownies, Cubs
and Scouts made to their clubs. Then
the Legion members made com-
mitments to protect our country in
wartime, some to die for it.
The color party of the Royal Cana-
dian Legion carried their colors from
the church, followed by the Girl
Guides, Brownies, Boy Scouts and
Cubs.
Rev. Roger Mason introduced
Thomas Moore from Georgia Sunday
evening. Mr. Moore accompanies
himself playing an electric autoharp,
as he sings gospel songs. After sing-
ing about handicapped people going
to heaven, Mr. Moore stated when he
gets to heaven he will walk like
everyone else. He is in a wheelchair.
Mr. Moore told that he went to work
as a boy, away from his father for 16
years.
His father was a pastor. Mr. Moore
was a wrestler who once weighed 640
pounds, who once wrestled in Lucan
arena_ He retired when his health fail-
ed. Ile spent months in the hospital,
where he met Jesus. Mr. Moore feels
God has called him to share gospel
music in churches and nursing
homes.
Rev. Mason spoke from John
4:31-38. When the disciples returned
from getting food, Jesus told them His
food was to do the work of His Father
God. The work God sent Jesus to do
was to redeem mankind, and to sow
the gospel seed in men's hearts. All
Christians are to be involved in the
Father's work.
