Jay of St. Stephen's Church, Stratford was guest speaker at St. Patrick's Sun- day morning. He spoke to the children before they wcnt to the Parish Hall for Sunday School, Shcryle Carroll provided music, Mary Davis read thc lessons. Rcv. Jay took his text from the Gospel of the day and also spoke. of the acid rain pollution urging all to realize the dangers to our water, air and trees. Ile asked if we could visualize a country without trees, he said as a boy he played at a small lake in Manitoba, caught many turtles and kept them for days in a tub of water before releasing thein. His grandchildren arc playing around that same lake but there are no turtles, thc situation is more se- rious than the average Canadian wants to believe. Everyone should ask themselves what can I do. Next Sunday service is planned for 11 a.m.. On May 15 service at St. Patricks is cancelled so every- one will be free to attend the induc- tiorf service for Rev. Beverly Wheeler at 4 p.m. at St. Pauls, Kirkton. Mrs. Mary Davis was guest with Mrs. Voylc Jordan Sunday with dinner at the "Garage" restaurant, London. The ladies called and visit- ed with Mr. and Mrs. Bob Beaune and Kelly and Kristopher. Mrs. Voyle Jordan and Rev. Bev- erly Wheeler were guests for lunch on Tuesday with Mary Davis. Ultimatums a sore spot LUCAN - Tim Kritzer led the worship in song Sunday morning at the Lucan Revival Centre: Doug and Marti Butler worshipped the Lord singing Tomorrow. Pieter Schinkleshock spoke on ultimatums which most people hate. Some Christians like to sit back and wait for God to provide them jobs, money, and blessings. But the Bible says to trust and obey. Committed Christians work for the Lord, visit the sick, broken homes, and help in the church. From John 15:1-11 in verses 5 and 6 we read of Jesus' ultirnatum for Christians to abide in Him, or they will be burned. Fruit trees must be pruned to produce good fruit. Churches need to be pruned to bear more fruit. Jesus is thc ultimatum for man- kind. Jesus came down to earth to dic for our sins on the cross. There is no halfway commitment or luke- warmness allowed or Jesus will spit us out of his mouth as Revelations 3:16 warns. Sometimes we have to look at oursclvcs.objcctivcly to sec where we arc spiritually. You can' not he ' uccessful unless you arc committed to your work. It is the same thing for a Christian to be committed to love God above all things. Find a church where the word of truth is being preached, and where you feel happy. Plant your roots there, and you will bear fruit for the Lord. The words commitment, con- secration, and dedication should be over every church, and the life of every mature believer. It takes work to stay under the annointing of the Holy Spirit. Commitment to Jesus costs something, but then you know where you are drawing your strength. But the ultimatum is to be either abiding in Jesus, or be thrown in the fire. When we let the word of God rain down into our be- ing, then we can stand firm. Commitment also means you have to surrender your will to the will of the Lord. To be able to say, "thy will be done" is dedication. Our church needs to be a church of dedicated, committed, loving Chris- tians. Communion was served after the service. Sunday evening Pieter Schinkle- shock led the song service. He read Psalm 100. Rev. Roger Mason said Acts 16:6-10 gives us an example of guidance from the Holy Spirit. The word of God is. one of the major guides God uses to guide us. 11 Pe- ter 1:17-21 refers to the Mount of Transfiguration where Peter heard God speak in approval of His Son Jesus. But Peter stressed the word of God was even more sure. God's word is up to date for life's situa- tions. How do you compare a thought or a voice you hear? By the written word of God. The Holy Spirit will give a Christian peace on doing the right thing. Circumstances can effect us the most to turn us from listening to God. Christians need to focus in on what God says. God is in con- trol of our circumstances if we walk close to God.
