Mrs. Crouch uses flannelgraph sermon Mrs. Emma Crouch of Ailsa Craig was guest speaker Sunday morning at Lucan United Church Sunday School's annual Rally Day Church service. Using a flan- nelgraph, she told the children and adults present the story of King David's elder son Adonijah's unsuc- cessful atempt to seize the throne from his dying father, and of Solomon, the rightful heir who did lawfully succeed his father. She reminded the children that today there are two kings who would like to take over the throne in each one of our hearts. One of these is Satan who promises fame, pleasure, wealth and freedom, although sorrow, death and hell are ac- tually the wages of those who allow him to deceive him. King Jesus offers faith, forgiveness, guidance and a cross. Those who allow Him to be King find victory,. joy, peace and eternal life.

The picture of Lazarus depicts a favourite theme of the Kingdom. In the least place, the least person, is precisely where God has hid- den His presence. Here is one of the few places where Jesus speaks of the after -life. His images are chosen to express what is, inexpressible in language. Heaven and hell are spiritual settings for the living -out of consequences arising from this life. This gulf exists because it existed service of commission for Sunday School teachers and officers.

Church in their earthly relationship. The warning is that the here and now — where patterns of attitude, behaviour, and thought are formed — will have to be dealt with in some mysterious way in another mode of being. Perhaps this is the reason why Jesus em- phasized so often that His spirituality, His Kingdom, His way, is for our now earthly life.
