W. C. Tupling took the worship service with the sermon "The Gift of the Holy Sprit." Sunday was Pentecost, the birthday of the Church, fifty days after Easter. In his text, Rev, Tupling said the Church exists through the gift of the spirit. The Church is the body of Christ, but without the Spirit the body would be dead. This is the contribution of the Penticostal movement the realization that the gift of the Spirit is essential if the Church is to survive and do the work that it is called to do. The gift of the Spirit is threefold : the gift of salvation, the gift of love and the gift of unity he said. $39,201.28 KIME & COMPANY Licence Number 4233 City - London, Ontario Date - May 15, 1972 DISBURSEMENTS Salaries and wages 13,228.75 Repairs and maintenance 6,352.89 Administration 7,076.92 Light, heat and power 4,500.07 Supplies 330.50 Playground expenses 243.74 Capital expenditure 7,313.01 Statement of Revenue and Expenditure for the year ended December 31, 1971 REVENUE 1971 1970 39,045.88 Excess receipts for_the year. 155.40 Balance, January 1 17,604.98 Balance, December 31 $17,760.38 86 $ ,842 43,874 11,705 $ 111,855 48,001 12,486 Taxation Contributions from other governments Other 172,342 Total revenue 142,421 Former Lucanite dies suddenly Mrs. Constance Vera Ross passed away suddenly at her residence, 124 St. James St., London, May 20, 1972.
