Churches combine
Rev Cecil Jardine of Lon-
don was the guest speaker at
the combined church service
in Clandeboye United Chs ch
with the United Church
Women in charge.-'''
A hymn sing was enjoyed
led by Dorothy Dedells with
Marjorie Park at the piano,
and Mabel Froats, the presi-
dent led the service of
worship.
The monthly Minute Talk
for Missions was given by Kit
Hearn in the form of a most
interesting letter from Betty
Bridgeman, Sacro, in which
she thanked the J.C.W. for
their gifts of "seeds fur
Saire." Miss Bridgeman said
that some of these had also
been given to the Angolian
refugees who were most
grateful. She also passed on
the sincere thanks of the
leaders and members of the
"Church in the Bush" for the
boxes sent for this purpose.
The Scripture was read by
Marguerite McRoberts, Ber-
nice Lockyer welcomed
members and friends to the
service and with Muriel
Cobleigh received the
offering.
Two lovely duets "Sweet
the Holy Spirit" and "Just a
Closer Walk with Thee" were
sung by Mary Degraw and
Shirley Jones.
Speaking from the theme
"Can These Dry Bones Live"
Mr. Jardine said the Hebrew
Anglicans
Members of Holy Trinity,
Lucan, joined members of St.
James, Clandeboye, with the
celebration of Holy Commu-
nion. Celebrant and in charge
of the service was the Rev.
Edward C. Attwell, rector of
the Parish of March in the
Diocese of Ottawa. Marion
Hodgins read the Epistle. ap-
pointed for the sixth Sunday
after Trinity.
Rev. Attwell based his ser-
• mon on the Gospel for the day
- the familiar story of the
Good Samaritan. The
Samaritan did not hesitate or
stop to calculate the risks, in-
volved. He saw a man in need
and set about to help meet
these needs. Jesus is asking
His followers to show this
same unselfish concern to the
"walking wounded" of our
society. Wherever we see a
need we are called to respond
with Christian love.
The flowers on the altar
were given by Kenneth and
Marie .Holland with
thanksgiving. They were
united in marriage on
Saturday.
The Sunday worship ser-
vices continue at St. James.
Clandeboye for July at 9:30
a.m. Next week Hazel Cunn-
ingham and Alan Cunn-
ingham will be in charge of
the Lay Service.,
people lost sight of God while
in the wilderness as well as
after they reached Israel
when over a period of years,
they accepted many of the
heathen ways of the surroun-
ding nations. Even though the
nation was invaded, con-
quered and all the youth
taken into captivity in
Babylon, God's message of
encouragement to Ezekiel
was that He was still with His
people even in a strange land
and there would be a
resurgence of Faith.
Mr. Jardine likened the ex-
ile of the Israelite youth to the
separation we have when we
"split" with our marriage
partner, with parents in
anger, etc.
The Interdenominational
Prayer and Share Group has
been cancelled for tomorrow,
Thursday, but will continue
on July 28th and alternate
Thursdays thereafter. The
Book of Proverbs is being
studied and all - women are
invited.

O
Ready for opportunities
Call for pre.zoning of village lund
Lucan council has agreed to
develop an industrial, com-
mercial strategy for the
village calling for pre -zoning
of selected sites of land.
Reeve Norm Steeper told
the T -A, "Under our present
system we are zoned for what
vie have now. We have to be
able to take advantage of a
situation when it arises by
having the land zoned proper-
ly and ready to go."
Steeper continued, "The
basic premise is that small
businesses don't want to
locate near London because
of the fear of annexation or
along busy highways like 401
because of the exorbitant ask-
ing prices for land."
"We would like to capitalize
on this type of situation by
preparing a bulletin and let-
ting people know what we
have available," concluded
the reeve.
An ad hoc committee com-
prising reeve Steeper and
councillors Larry Hotson and
Bryan Smith has been set up
to prepare a strategy to be
considered by council
hopefully at the September
meeting
