Plan decoration day at St. James
• At Lucan United Church,
members met for worship
Sunday morning as Rev.
Brown continued his August
series on the Psalms.
In Psalms 42 and 43, the
Psalmist gives us a glimpse
into his gradual climb from
despair to joy and confidence.
In the first section, he does lit-
tle but complain of his lot and
express his misery. Although
in the midst of his trouble he
thinks of God and promises to
praise Him when things get
better, this gives him no relief
from his despair.
Later he bargains with God,
again without finding relief.
Gradually he comes to see
that he needs to take his eyes
off himself and his own pro-
blems and fix them upon His
great God, for He is the one
who meets all our needs and
brings real joy. This joy is the
keynote of the final section
Two accidents
Damages were set at $7,000
in two accidents investigated
this week by officers of the
Ontario Provincial Police
detachment at Lucan.
Friday at 3:45 p.m. vehicles
driven by Ernest Walsh, New
Liskeard and Marlene Dur-
rell of London collided on
Highway 4 at Arva. Constable
Briggs investigated and set
damages at $4,500.
Constable Hassall
estimated damages at $2,500
when a vehicle driven by
Robert Avery of Lucan left
the roadway of Highway 4 and
rolled into the ditch at 4:30
a.m. Saturday. The driver
sustained minor injuries.
where the Psalmist praises
God and expresses His trust
in Him.
Rev. Brown pointed out that
in Christ we don't need to
travel the long route of the
psalmist to find relief from
discouragement. We can
come directly to Christ, and
he will never send us away
empty.
Flowers in the sanctuary
were from the funeral of the
late Buck Smith. The annual
Decoration Day service for
St. James' Cemetery will be
held at St. James' Anglican
Church, Clandeboye, at 2 p.m.
next Sunday.

that showed God can use the
instrument we do not think of.
There were lepers outside the
city where people were star-
ving, because the Syrians sur-
rounded the city. Lepers had
to cry unclean, and food was
r thrown to them, or -left
out for them.
Because the Syrians were
beseiging the city, the lepers
decided since they were going
to starve, they could go to the
Syrian camp for help, or die
trying. Their great need led
them to the enemy. Our great
need of salvation can bring us
to God. God used the lepers to
save the city. All the Syrians
had gone, leaving all supplies
behind tliat met the people's
need. God wants to use His
power in us to work His will.
Unknown to them, the lepers
were instruments of God's
will.•We should be ready and
willing .to do God's will. The
lepers acted on their decision
to go to the Syrians to find if
their needs could be met.
Their goal and need was met.
We need to have a goal to
strive for. Leprosy is like
universal sin.
God can cleanse and deliver
anyone from sickness and sin.
Al first the lepers did the
wrong thing. They hid the
good things they found after
f0
they ate all they could.
Rick Thornton, at start of
evening service, read Revela-
tion 5:11-14. Rev. Roger
Mason, from 1 John 2:15-17,
stressed for Christians not to
love the world's evil system.
Some people think not loving
the world system means com-
plete withdrawal from
modern living.
Another false interpretation
means not to associate with
anyone who is not religious,
even to living in a monastery.
•Some of this separation is
shown in Christians who
withdrew from association
with other denominations.
Another erroneous interpreta-
tion of not loving the worrd
system is to set up unwritten
set of rules to guide Christ ian
conduct. Instead the guideline
for our way of lite should be
the Bible, that tells of the law
of Christian liberty.
• Because it is incompatible
to love both the world and
God, this command was writ-
ten not to love the evil world
system. To love God
supremely is to fulfill this law
of God. Worldliness is shown
in Christian circles in an un-
caring attitude, a "•ne Frst'•
attitude. exalting beauty and
hrains, or negativeness that
hurt and abuse people. The
Bible will liberate one from
this attitude, giving one
guidelines to love God
supremely in all we do.

Church news
At the Granton United
Church, the Rev. Bruce •
Pierce conducted the worship
and entitled his message
"Lost in your own backyard."
This referred to the elder son
in the story of the Prodigal
Son.
The elder son was lost in
jealousy, this can happen to
us, said the minister, we can
be so filled up with jealousy.
that we cannot see the joy. We
can get like this in our own
backyard. (rifles are
magnified and the most inno-
cent of intentions are
distorted. The elder brother
was also lost in self
righteousness, jealousy can
eat away at us. but self
righteousness is worse. if we
truly know who we are, we do
not care about crowns of
Glory. The accused knows
Whether he is guilty or inno-
rent. but it is up to the judge
to prove it.
