Roger Mason ministered from Genesis 3:1-7, the record of the fall of man from God's grace. Whatever became of sin? The world denies the existence of sin, giving it different labels. This attitude has even crept in- to the church. People do not like to be told they have sinned, just that they have done something that is not quite right. Trying to cover up is still done.

A trait of sin should bring the sinner to confess and - ask God to help overcome greed, swearing, envy, anger, pride, lust, lazyness, etc. If not overcome these sinful traits can become part of our nature. The whole basis of beginning and result of sin is a lie. Eve was exposed to a lie from satan that God did not really mean she would die if she disobeyed Him. A common lie is "This is good for me". Eve saw the tree's fruit was good to eat, and make her wise. Her sin was disobedience. Just because we want something or to do something wrong does not make it right by taking it or doing it. Then denying or covering up our wrongdoing will separate us from God's blessings. The Holy Spirit will try to convict us to confess the sin, and get right with God again. Pray to God to show what has caused the hin- drance to fellowship with God. Upcoming events January 27 at 7:30 p.m., Brian and Angela Richardson will be holding a Parent Information Night to inform about the Youth Seminar.

From St. Patrick's Church Rev. William Capitan ted in prayers of repen- tance, will all responding asking for God's forgiveness. Rev. Capitano read Zephaniah 3:16-20. Rev. Roger Mason read Psalm 42. Ile then introduced Doug and Marty Butler. who sang He Will Carry You. Rev. Mason read 11 Corinthians 5:16 6:4. Rev. Bruce Pocock, from Holy Trinity Anglican Church, exhorted everyone to follow Christ's com- mands from John 15:12-17, to love one another, as He loves us. Rev. Pocock stressed this love does not come from us, but from the love that God has put within us. After his message, Rev. Pocock asked all to silently reflect on how we can foster this unity among our chur- ches. He then prayed for unity among Christians. Rev. Glenn Fretz, of Community Bible Church, led in questions as to common belief with all answering af- firming their common trust in God. The congregation sang The Church's One Foundation is Jesus Christ Her Lord. Rev. Shaule, before offering was taken up. told it was for the. Benevolent Fund of the Minister's Fellowship of Lucan and area churches. Wes Stanley and Mrs. Phyllis O'Neil led in responses of thanks to God for blessings, and prayers for all nations and God's creation, commen- ding all for whom we pray into God's mercy.

United Church Rev. Jewell Shaule opened the mor- ning service at Lucan United Church with the singing of three wonderful old hymns "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" and if we do that we will have "Blessed Assurance" which was the second hymn and "Vic- tory in Jesus" which was the third. Singing is just one of the "gifts" God has given Jewell and we as a con- gregation, feel the loss of that gift, . -hen her health does not permit her co exercise it. The children's story told by John MacDonald was the importance of birthdays. All children can relate to birthdays either their own or other f lends. - As we celebrate our 125th birthday this year - the children are invited to b?come part of the celebrations and the fun . Their own birthday is a one d.ry affair, the church's, one year, but Jesus birthday is celebrated not only on Christmas and everyday of our lives. Seniors meet Once again the weekly meeting of the seniorswas held in the Scout and Guide Hall. The president welcomed everyone, also one visitor, Mrs. Lois Hodgins. 0 Canada was sung. Birthday wishes went to Tom Kooy and Mary Whelehan. Jean Miller was welcomed back after her sickness. Hamilton Hodgins read a few rules and regulations on the seniors games.

The sermon was taken from Romans 12:9-21 and Matthew 18:15-35 read by Mrs. Phyllis Brady "Forgive us our trespasses". In his opening remarks Rev. Dar- rell Shaule said forgiveness is a very important subject - all of faith hinges on this one word. Having the right relationship with one another is the key. There is a way of dealing with conflicts and taking our own revenge is not one of them. The way to proceed is set down in this passage. First go and talk to your brother (brother in this instance meaning another.Chris- tianin private. Jesus placed great importance on forgiveness, saying not even if the hurt is justified, it will only create barriersin uswhich lead to bitterness and resentments and we ourselves - will suffer more as a result. Jesus in His humaness was able to forgive His tormenters, as He hung on the cross - so we must trust God to show us how to deal with this problem. Forgiveness, God's formula for a suc- cessful Christian Life. One accident Only one accident was investigated this week by officers of the Ontario Provincial Police detachment at Lucan.

RENT REVIEW UPDATE FROM TIE MINISTRY OF HOUSING Important message to tenants and landlords of rental units first occupied after 1975. The Residential Rent Regulation Act,1986, extends the protection of rent review to cover all tenants in private rental units in Ontario. This includes buildings, mobile homes and mobile home sites first occupied as rental units after 1975. n the past, tenants living in units which first came on the market after 1975 - post -'75 units - were not protected by rent review. Under the new legislation, tenants living in post -'75 units are now protected by rent review along with all other tenants in private rental units in Ontario. As well, the provisions extending rent review to cover post -'75 units are rrhnae•tire to August 1. 1985. This means that the four per cent Guideline which was in place from August 1, 1985, to December 31, 1986. applied to post -'75 units during this period. Thus, landlords who charged tenants of post -'75 units more than the four per cent Guideline during this period must now justify those rent increases or refund to tenants the difference between four per cent and the higher amount charged. Tenants in post -'75 units: do not make immediate deductions from your rent. Firr the present, tenants living in post -7.5 unite ,should 1xiy the amount requested in the notice by their landlorri until the matter is resoli,e'd through rent reriew. Under no circumstances should tenants make immediate deductions from their rent cheques because an illegal deduction could lead to eviction by the Courts. Tenants in post -'75 units: obtaining a rent rebate. • if the landlord of a post -'75 unit has not made an application to rent review by March 2. 1987, the tenant is entitled to a rebate of rents paid above the 4 per cent Guideline between August 1, 1985, and December 31, 1986. • If the landlord does not voluntarily pay the tenant the rebate owing, the tenant is advised to file an application with the local Rent Review Office for an order requiring the land- lord to pay the rebate. • if the tenant is nortain of the amount of the rebate, the tenant may deduct the amount from a rent cheque. Requirements for landlords of post -'75 units. • Landlords who have charged tenants more than the 4 per cent Guideline from August 1, 1985, to December 31, 1986, have until March 2. 1987. to apply to rent review to justify these rent increases. . • To apply, a landlord must file an application form and supporting information with the local Rent Review Office, showing that the rent increases were justified. • Landlords who apply to justify these rent increases must give a copy of their application to all of their tenants within 111 days of apply- ing. Thnants are entitled to examine all the materials filed and to make submissions to the local Rent Review Office. • Landlords who do not apply to rent review on or before March 2, 1987, miist rebate excess rents charged to tenants between August 1. 1985, and December 31. 1986. Landlords of post -'75 units who have already served notice of a rent increase above the 1987 Guideline: Under the new legislation. the Rent Review Guideline for the year 1987 is 5.2 Ix'r cent. Some landlords of post- 75 units have already served tenants with notice of a rent increase effective on or after January 1. 19,87. which exceeds the 5.2 per cent Guideline. These landlords also have until March 2. 1987. to apply to rent review for approval of a 1987 rent increase above the 5.2 percent Guideline. if the landlord applies to rent review, tenants will receive a copy of the application and be given a full opportunity to participate in the rent review process. if the landlord does not apply to rent review and the time period for doings► expires, the landlord must rebate the difference between 5.2 per cent and the higher amount charged during 1987.
