Once a person has accepted Christ as her Saviour, the fruit of the Holy Spirit should be operating in her life.

Mrs. Hazeen discussed several of the spiritual gifts. Next month she plans to con- tinue the study of these gifts, that can be used in a Chris- tian's life as God wills. A light lunch was served at close of the meeting. Sunday morning Bruce Thomson, Mrs. Marlene Thornton, and Mrs. Lorraine Armitage sang It is Well with My Soul, accompanied by - Mrs. Armitage playing the piano. Mr. Thomson, as guest minister spoke from 2 Timothy 4:5-18. From verse 7 Mr. Thomson showed how some Christians have such a defeatist attitude. Because the Christian life is a fight against the enemy satan, Christians need a Christian backbone. Christians need to be equip- ped spiritually even though the battle is the Lord's. Mr. Thomson told of a girl he met in the delinquent girls home. She was a satan worshipper, very foul mouthed, dressing in black. Mr. Thomson witnessed to her that satan was not the one with all power. He ,and his wife brought her to church with them one Sunday morning, where she saw someone healed. This really impressed her. She had her tattoo removed put on good clothes even before going to church, from their witness to her. She went to church again, and accepted Christ as her Saviour. She is now living with a Christian family, serving the Lord. A defeatist attitude is not of God. In a battle to serve the Lord against satan, things somtimes may go wrong, even though nothing is wrong in our lives for the Lord. When we resist satan he has to flee. Matthew 16:18 states the gates of hell will no prevail against the church of Jesus Christ. As a Christian becomes stronger serving the Lord, the light of Jesus Christ will shine from them. The way to make us strong Christians is to study the word of God.

He then sang "The Circuit Riding Preacher." Before preaching, Mr. Thomson sang a song he wrote, "If You've Never Known the Love of Jesus." He ministered from 1 John 5:7-19. There are four things of perfect love named here - a source, a standard, a circle, and a security. Man's love is imperfect as it is man's love. Verse 7-8 tell us love is of God, as God is the only source of perfect love. Man's love can destroy by distortion when lust takes over. Jesus com- manded that we love one another, as He loved us, and gave Himself for us. The very highest quality of love is com- plete sacrificial love, as Jesus gave. This very high standard of love is for us to reach too. The circle of love from verse 16 shows that God is love, that we dwell in love, that we dwell in God, and God in us. The more we move in this circle by love, by confess- ing Jesus the'more start see- ing past people's faults. The security of perfect love is not found in the world because people let you down. Verse 17 tells us because our love is made perfect, we have boldness in the day of judge- ment. We then can have no fear of dying, when we are secure in the perfect love Jesus offers. Verse 19 says we love God because He first lov- ed us. Upcoming events - Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. Rev. Roger Mason continues the study on the end times. May 30, at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, will be held the annual Blossom Tea at the church. Guest speaker is to be Mrs. Charles Hazeen. Special music will be provided by Mrs. Marlene Thornton.

Barb Bannerman read the Scripture, and Linda Froats was in charge of the children's story time. She told the children the true story of Hannah, to whom God gave a little son Samuel, in answers to her prayers. Hannah was proud of her son and glad that he learned to listen to God and to hear Him speak to him. Lin- da encouraged the children to express their love• to their mothers, and to make them happy by loving and serving God as Samuel did. Sandra Ivfunro, assisted by the Junior Helpers, took charge of the children during Junior congregation. - Mr. Brown spoke on the theme, "Why this Waste?" He based his message on the story of Mary's lavish gift of perfumed ointment which she poured out on Jesus' feet. Some disciples felt her gift was a waste and failed to see its true significance as an ex- pression of love to Him. But in God's Kingdom, we are call- ed to pour out our lives for Him; only so will we find true Life. This principle holds true for motherhood. Many today feel that the monotonous tasks of child -raising constitutes a waste of a woman's gifts and talents. Mr. Brown expressed the view that child-rearing is the most .productive and challenging task a woman can undertake, if she has the right attitude to it.
