A question and answer period followed. Brownies ready for bike hike The Brownies nature walk, last Wednesday night was successful. The girls walked to Biddulph School via the 2nd Concession and the side road, discovering the different kinds of trees in the area.

United The service in the Lucan United Church was cancelled on Sunday to enable the members to attend the Anniversary services at the Clandeboye United Church. The members of the Couples' Fellowship will hold a bowling party at the Lucan alley tonight. Meet at the alley at 8 p.m. Members of the Evening Unit hold their May meeting next Tuesday evening at 8 p.m. All women of the congregation are welcome. Pentecostal church Morning service Bill Cochrane assisted Reverend Brewster leading the hymns in the morning service. Mr. Brewster used as his text 1 Peter Chapter 1.

Evening service Bill Cochrane again led in the singing. Kathy Hopps sang a solo entitled "'There is a River". Rev. Brewster spoke on Numbers 13, His sermon was Mrs. Wm.

H. liodgins, it was announced that Mrs. Ewart Madden of Lucan UCW would attend Westminster Weekend and Mrs. Shipley Siddell of Carlisle UCW, the Alma School for Women, sent by this Regional. Mrs. A. B. Kilb, of London, Boston jaunt for area group Mrs. Jack Bison, Mrs. M, H. Hodgins of Lucan, Mrs. Arthur Hodgins and Pat of Clandeboye took an All Star Bus Trip to Boston, Plymouth and Cape Cod over the Holiday weekend. They travelled to Brantford by cab on Friday evening to catch the tour, arriving at the Copley Piazza Hotel about 10 a.m. Saturday morning, After freshening up, the members of the tour were joined by a guide, a former history teacher, and given a tour of the city, during the early afternoon. After, many shopped for a couple of hours before dinner. Sunday, an all-day tour was arranged for Plymouth and Cape Cod with the same guide. The hardships of those who travelled to the New World on that tiny ship "The Mayflower", must have been terrific, Neither Plymouth or Cape Cod have become as commercialized as one would expect and it is to be hoped they stay this way. The Harbour with its hundreds of sail boats was beautiful. The weather was perfect and the tour excellent. A bit of advice though — Drive to Brantford to pick up the, tour, doll'A...d,enen,d on „taxi pr mini-bus. They were two hours late getting back from Brant- ford! called called "The Land was promised, Why wasn't it taken". Spies who came back from Canaan gave the report that the land was flowing with milk and honey, but the inhabitants were so many Canaan could not be taken. Caleb and Joshua, with faith in Jehovah said that they could. The "doubters" would rather yield to defeat than to take God's promise.
