Study on Ministering
The Women's Auxiliary of
the Lucan Revival Centre
held their monthly meeting
Wednesday evening in the
Fellowship Hall of the church.
While Mrs. Carole Butler
played the piano, Mrs. Elsie
Melanson and Mrs. Charlene
Hazeen led in chorus singing.
Then they sang Bless Thou
the Lord, 0 My Soul.
Mrs. Charlene Hazeen con-
ducted a study on the
Ministering Woman employ-
ing her gifts from God. Once
a person has accepted Christ
as her Saviour, the fruit of the
Holy Spirit should be
operating in her life. Bless-

loves us, not just because we
are good.
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.

Thomson accompanied
himself on the guitar as he
sang "Here Am I." 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.

The Lucan branch of the
Canadian Bible Society held
their walkathon-bikeathon
Saturday on a beautiful day,

point in Lucan was the United
Church. In Granton their
walkers and bikers started
from Granton United Church

President Jim Robertson
gives a good report of the
results. The goal was $2,000 to
raise money for blind people
in Taiwan to have Scriptures
on cassettes. Mr. Robertson
feels sure they raised that
amount.
The participants enjoyed
the hot dog lunch after they
returned. Mr. Robertson will
take the highest score boy and
girl to a Blue Jay's game in
Toronto. The top Senior

Amelia Graham who was 81
years young in February this
year. She has gone on the
Senior Citizen' walk since it
started. The enthusiasm for
the bikeathon-walkathon was
very good. The Lucan ex-
ecutive wishes to thank all
who took part.

Several families brought
their children for baptism to
Christian Family service on
'Sunday at Lucan United
Church. Mr. Brown baptized
Emily Jane Barr, daughter of
Robert and Catherine Barr;
Nicole Victoria Dann,
daughter of Russell and Mary
Dann; Matthew James
-Daubs, son of Dennis and

A special "Three Genera-
tion Women's Choir" directed
by organist Helen Stanley
was another highlight of the
service. Beth and Don Miller
with sons Michael and
Timothy welcomed the con-
gregation as they arrived,
and later received the offer-
ing. 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.
In the home she becomes

on the future d the world, and
example of true religion as
she lives out her faith before
her child. To her is given the
challenge of teaching her
child to share that faith and
know her Lord. Mr. Brown
challenged mothers present

God" in their families.
Donna Vanarenthals ar-
