T -A photo Revival Centre news John Brooks was the song leader Sunday morning. While Nello Romagnoli played his guitar, Miss Patty Harris sang What is Your Answer today?. Miss Judi, Jones read 1I Samuel 9. • Rev. C.J. Williams stated this chapter showed God as blessing always. People seldom obey God's command to pray for their enemies. Saul had been David's enemy, yet David desired to show forgivene9k, tenderness and love of God to the household of Saul. Grace and mercy originate with God, the King. Grace was born the moment Jesus said "It is finished" at Calvary. Mephibosheth belonged to the family of Saul, David's enemies. He was also lame, with deformed feet. David asked Ziba to bring Mephibosheth to him so he could show him kindness. We who are of the household of sinners are worth nothing to God, but we need' Him so desperately. Ephesians 2:4-10 tell us we did not merit grace, but God saves us through grace and United Church Wes Stanley, assisted by Marj Park at the piano, led in the monthly pre -service Hymn Sing at Lucan United Church on Sunday morning. Later in the service, the choir sang the lovely anthem "Lead Me Lord". Kit Hearn, in charge of the children's story time, told the boys and girls about Tim and Don who learned the impor- tance of doing little jobs well. Because Tim was so faithful in caring -for his pet mouse, Grandpa allowed him to take over the care of a pony. God is pleased too when we are faithful in little things. Alden Walker also assisted in the service as he read the Scripture portion from Romans 8. Rev. Brown continued his series of Lenten messages With the theme, "Blessed Assurance". People display a deep need for security in every area of Ade. This ap- plies also in our desire to be sure aboutGod's love for us and about our hope of eternal life. If ' we believe God's pro- mises, it is possible to find the .assurance we need in them. If we fulfil the condition of believing in Him, we can be sure that His promise of eter- nal life applies to us. The apostle Paul mentions another way we can be sure when he says, "The Holy Spirit speaks to us deep within our hearts and tells us we really are God's children". 'The Lord wants each of us to experience this special witness of His Spirit. for it is not His plan that we should live in uncertainty about our relationship to Him. Mr. Brown commented, "In this unsettled age of atomic power, violence and social upheaval, this assurance is desperately needed by all." He challenged those present to share with others this con- fidence that God gives us, helping them to understand that this gift is for them too.

As Mephibosbeth was crippled, unable to help himself, so sinners are crippl- ed by sin, unable to help themselves. Ziba had to bring Mephibosheth to King David. The Holy Spirit directs a sin- ner towards forgiveness from God. Mephibosheth answered David as his servant, coming just as he was, alone. We have to meet God alone, coming as we are, asking His forgiveness. If we do not meet Him on earth, we will some- day stand before our God, our, King, at judgement day. We must be willing to place ourselves as servants before our King, God. David said to Mephibosheth, "fear not", and told him he would restore all his family possessions, and make him a member of his royal house hold. When we come to God, He makes us members of His household. In the absence of pianist Mrs. Lorraine Armitage, Bruce Thomson led the song service while playing his guitar. Mr. Thomson then ministered singing Here Am I, So Unworthy. Rev. C.J. Williams in- troduced the guest speaker, Mr. Nicholas Murray. Mr. Murray read II Kings 22:2-11 and 23:1-3, a very interesting account of Josiah, King of Judah. Beginning to reign at eight years old, at age 20 he began to purge the kingdom of all emblems of idolatry, and purify the temple. Because many years of evil kings the temple was in disrepair. Josiah sought the Lord, aided by two able faithful priests. When the high priest Hilkiah found the Book of the Law, which had been lost, it was read to Josiah, then to the people. God's Word can survive persecution, but it can be lost through neglect. When people neglect the Word of God they hinder someone else. Sin will keep one from this Book, but this Book will keep one from sin. Inconsistency is neglect. The Word must be lived, preached, and read, We can't try to guide our families, but without God's Word it will not be right. All the answers are • in God's Wotd.
