The V.B.S. children sang four choruses during the ser- vice "Alive, Alive, I'm in the Lord's Army, Who Started Everything and Jesus, Lord of Promises," with the con- gregation joining in the latter. Linda Froats sang a beautiful solo "There's Something About That Nanie" and the Scripture was read by Phyllis Brady. The children's story, based on showing our love by doing not just saying, was given by Iva Hodgins. Flora Robertson was at the piano for the ministry of music. Superintendent, Jim Robertson directed the thoughts of the adults on the theme "What Time Is It" - God's time, that is, and he said, "It's later than you think". Many are falling away from their faith. We are obsessed by "things". Paul says "It is time to put off the works of darkness" and to "put off strife between churches." This is a very difficult time for young people trying to make their way in the world and they are calling out for us to help them. We have the op- portunity today to help shape their lives and God is speak- ing to us to bring these children and youth to Chri't. Next Sunday will be the final joint service for the sum- mer as renovations at the Lucan church will be com- pleted and Rev. Keith Brown will have returned from holidays and study week, by the following Sunday. Mr. Larry Cruttenden will be the speaker in Clandeboye Church at 9:45 and special music i- 'wing arranged.

Paul Sloetjes climbed in, sitting in the cen- tre. to pass the gifts to them. Ed Butler then Elect the canoe to stay in the middle of the pool. Loys was quite aprehen- sive when every time they moved the canoe rocked. With thunderheads threatening, they finished opening their gifts in time. Mr. Butler and John Sloetjes pulled the canoe to the side of the pool for Loys and Jeff to climb out. Then Ed and John lifted the canoe onto the deck of the pool. for them to take the gifts out to the car. Everyone picked up their chairs to move indoors. where lunch was served. When a spectacular thunderstorm hit, Annelies brought out lighted candles and a lamp. as lights were flickering. The storm abated in time for guests to leave safely.

Rev. C. J. Williams, from Luke 10:25-37, spoke on the parable of the Good Samaritan, showing who can be our neighbour. The lawyer who asked Jesus how to in- herit eternal lite did not know that he had to love his neighbour no matter what. When people do not measure up to our ideas, we often pass them hy. ,Just like it was so dangerous, even fatal. to take the road down from Jerusalmcn to Jericho. It is spiritually dangerous to go away from God's commands. As God brings certain things to happen in our lives. Beef barbecue at Granton By MRS. E. SUMMERS Al SI. Thomas Anglican Church the Rev.

Both represent the church of today. not pleasing to God - because they lacked compas- sion for their neighbours. A Samaritan came along when it was quite dark, and more dangerous. Ile was despised by the Jews,. as Samaritans were half Jew, half Gentile. He had compas- sion on the wounded man, went to him, poured in oil and healing wine. Then he took him to an inn to be cared for at his expense. Even though Jews hated the Samaritans. this Samaritan showed love Towards a Jew in helping hint. We need 10 have the life of the Holy Spirit flowing in us to have actions of love. Jesus told the lawyer to go and help others as the Samaritan had done, because he eared. not because he would he repaid.

Williams spoke from Joshua 5:13-15, and 6: 1-2L telling how God told Joshua how to take the city of Jericho promised to the Jews. Sometimes when God pro- mises us something. we find Satan preventing us. if God can get our attention in such times. lie will tell us how to possess it. We can begin to possess in the name of the Lord before we see results. Then wait on God patiently and quietly. let- ter God work it out. Joshua's army had to wait seven days for God to give them Jerich. While waiting. they had to obey -God's directions 10 win the city. '1'o have a victorious Christian life we must obey (rod's word.
