Lunch was served by Thelma Cardiff, Marguerite Krau- ter, Margaret MacLeod and Ruth Martin and a social time enjoyed. because He lived the scriptures. He was and is the living word. Jesus tells us how we should live in v. 30 - 34. “Give to everyone who asks you, do to others as you would have them do to you, love your enemies, do good to them and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.” On the other hand humanity measures success on how much we possess, how rich we are, how milch prestige we have. With these goals in mind without Christ in our lives, our possessions are just like pictures, we can not take them with us. There are two things humans are susceptible to: (1), investing our interests and (2) readiness to judge and condemn. Trusting Jesus is a much higher goal and harder to reach but we must remember that he will have com­ passion and understanding to us for even the smallest step that we take provided it is in His direction, provided our eyes of desire and will are on Him. In conclusion Rev. Ramirez said as long as we try - God will reconcile us perfect, which is something we can never achieve on our own. The service concluded with sing­ ing of the hymn “Take My Life and Let It Be”, benediction and choral response “God Loves You”. Melville Presbyterian Church BRUSSELS Rev.
