Further to this, coun- 4110, Reeve feels good about arena alleviate flooding cit recognizes that costs are'being ex- perienced through the unnecessary treatment of pure water and the un- necessary demands on the limited capacity of our lagoon system. In order to help resolve the pro- blems of both basement flooding and decreasing lagoon capacity, council proposes the following policy given the constraints of budget. 1. Provide the annual budget, funds which will be used to correct pro- blems such as basement flooding, lot grading or installation of a sump pump system. 2. Allocate these funds on a first- come -first served basis once the validtiy of the claim has been deter- mined as outlined in 3 and 4. 3. Each claim is not to exceed in the village's share of $500. 4. Application for this grant will be accepted after the work has been ap- proved by the village engineer prior to any construction taking place. 5. Payment will be made once the _work has been completed and in- spected by village staff. 6. Only one grant will be provided to each applicant.. 7.

United Church overflows for Mother's Pay Mother's Day and Christian Fami- ly Sunday was observed at the Lucan United Church with an overflow con- gregation. The Sunday School choir, under the direction of Linda Froats, opened the service with several -songs of praise. The celebration of infant baptism was administered by Rev. Darrell Shaule to Celia Marjorie, daughter of Mary and Russell Dann and Jeffrey Robert, son of Janice and Glenn Silver. Mrs. Ann Dawson told a delightful children's story stressing the impor- tance of love in the family. She com- pleted her story by telling the children that the nicest gift you can give your mother on "Mother's Day" is lots of love. "Sharing Thoughts on Motherhood", were three mothers, Mrs. Chris Schatzler, Mrs. Irene Lynn and Mrs. Marj Park. All three were most interesting as they related their experiences, their ups and downs and their faith that gave them strength and guidance in raising their families. .Revival Centre news Pieter Schinkelshock led the wor- ship service Sunday morning. Mr. Schinkleshock said God did for him what Psalm 40:2-3 says. Rev. Roger Mason honored the mothers over 80, by having his wife Mrs. Cathy Mason. and his mother Mrs. Shirley Mason, pin a corsage on Mrs. Amelia Graham, and Mrs. Joyce. Rev. Mason spoke from Matthew 15:21-18, the story of a persistent mother, who asked Jesus to heal her daughter from an unclean spirit. This mother had a reverent desperation. She was aware of a coming Messiah. addressing Jesus as Lord. Jews felt Gentiles were unclean. This lady was a Syropheonician, and Jesus was a Rabbi. She reached out to Jesus in a reverent respectful manner, calling upon- His mercy. Sometimes we don't get answers to prayer, because we are not genuinely desperate enough. People want instant answers or they go elsewhere. God is not so willing to accommodate such a mindset. • This mother also had a continual' enquiry when Jesus seemed to ignore her. Jesus was trying her faith. The lady continued to plead with Jesus. The disciples asked Jesus to answer her and send her away. When God does not immediately answer our prayer we think God has refused us. We need to exercise a persistent faith. Rev. Roger Mason conducted the evening service. Rev. Mason ministered from Mark 5:1-20, the record of the demon possessed man Jesus set free. The demons that spoke out of this man asked what did they have to do with -Jesus, the Son of the Most High God, asking Jesus not to torment them. These demons knew exactly who Jesus was. and looked upon Jesus as a judge. If Jesus is not your Saviour, then He is your judge. John 3:16-21 states that whoever believes on Jesus is saved, while those who do not believe are condemned. Jesus is a threat to darkness because He exposes the evil. Because Jesus cast the demons out of the man, he was considered a troublemaker. The demons .wept -in- — to•a heard of swine that ran into the sea and drowned. The delivered man was sitting with Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind. The townspeople came out to see this miracle, but hardened their hearts against Jesus, asking Him to' leave them. The peo- ple viewed the loss of the swine more than the man being healed. - Yard and Bake Sale - Saturday.
