In the letter Simmons said the loss to the private sector was in excess of 60 million dollars, about one- third of this amount was not insured. While all councillors were infavourof helping there was some disagreement in the • amount.

Gary McFalls were in favour of a larger amount. Reeve Hearn said he was sure the County of Middlesex would be making a sizable donation next week and added, "we we will also be paying part of that grant." • Councillor- Hotson com- mented, -"We should be generous to those com- munities close to us.

Day Sunday Service at Lucan United Church. When God became flesh, as a carpenter in • Nazareth, He .set His seal of approval upon honest work. Yet many -today see work only as a necessary evil. But Paul reminds us that the Christian can discover joy and fulfilment in his work when 'he realizes that he can serve God as well with his body as with his mind or spirit. Work of whatever sbrt can be offered to God as an act df worship. But this attitude demands a radical inner change. Before we can do this, we need to be transformed in- wardly by letting Christ into our lives to -change and control us at the very centre of our being. Said Mr. Brown, "Only then can we give real worship„which is the offering of every moment and every action of life to God.” Mr. Brown sang -two lovely solos during the service, "Nearer, still Nearer, and "The Wonder of it all" Usborne & Hibbert Mutual Fire insurance Company (Establishe rn 876) Provides Full Insurance Coverage Dwellings as- well as Farm Properties DIRECTORS AND ADJUSTERS Jack Harrigan ' Robert Gardiner Lloyd Morrison Lorne Feeney Ray McCurdy William Choffe R.R.3, Lucon R.R.2, Stoffa R.R.1, St. Marys • R.R.2, Dublin R.R.1, Kirkton Mitchell AGENTS Ross Hodgert Woodham .

Ray Brewster and his wife Becky have returned from a week's trip to Haiti. where they ministered in Mission Churches.` At one Church they helped build benches, with Mr. Brewster showing the people how to do it. Mr. Brewster tells how the people in the Churches showed joy on their faces while worshipping Jesus. These people live in extreme poverty without enough food, but they enjoy their primitive worship buildings, where they gather for worship services. Rick Brewster led the singing at the Sunday morning service ac- companied by Mrs. Lorraine Armitage on the piano, Ken Allen, back from „summer camp, played his violin for the song service. Rev. Ray Brewster spoke from Acts 8:5-13 saying that when Jesus Christ is presented. the preaching brings joy. as Jesus is the fulfillment of peace and happiness. When our faith is based on the name of Jesus, we can see our situations changed for good. When we know Christ as Saviour, we expect our prayers -to be answered when we pray in faith. Rev.

Mrs. Marlene Thornton directed the Church Choir in singing "Amazing Grace", with. Miss Lorna Minogue at the piano. Mr. Brewster used Psalm 149 as his text saying. as the Lord takes pleasure in our praising Him, praise is a ministry toward God. When people wrong us. our praise for the good God does for us will cause God to judge and punish those who wrong us. Our praise can bind the work of satan against God's people. Healing can come through praising God. We must learn to praise Him at all times.
