Times-Advocate, 1983-01-26, Page 16Pager 16 Times -Advocate, January 26, 1983 Library gets aid from Col. Ross estate When Lt. -Col. Duncan Graham Ross dropped into the Lucan branch library to check out some books, he went straight for the biography section. He especially liked reading political biographies, remembers branch librarian Donna Atkinson. It seemed a reasonable choice, consider- ing Ross was the Liberal MP for Middlesex East from 1935 to 1945, When Ross died at the age of 91 last October, he remembered the library in his will with a $2,000 donation. The money was the first major financial donation the Middlesex • County library system has received from a private source, said head librarian Janet Moss. Given the present economic times, it was ' a much ap- preciated gesture", she said,, The money will be used at the Lucan branch library, Break-ins reach eight • Officers of the Lucan On- tario Provincial Police detachment investigated eight occurrences of break and enter this week. Small amounts of cash, soft drinks and cigarettes were taken Sunday night from Matheson Motors and Marion's Variety in Bryanston. Nothing was reported taken from the Master Feeds store in Belton, Centennial Central School, east of Arva and the Gould residence on Conces- sion 8 of London township. At the Turner residence in London township, a telephone and some food- items in- cluding steak and chicken . were stolen while small amounts of cash were taken from the Allen residence at RR 1 Arva " and the Kevin Brome residence at 114 Albert Street in Ludan. • although no decision has been made on exactly how, Moss said. "With all the (economic) doom and gloom, $2,000 cer- tainly is a bright spot." A brief biography of Ross in the 1944 Canadian Parliamen- tary Guide describes him as a decorated First World War verteran. After two unsuc- cessful tries, Ross became the first Liberal to win the Mid- dlesex East riding since Con- federation when he was elected in 1935. He was returned to office in 1940 before losing out in 1945. Ross, who operated a dry goods store in Lucan before he entered politics, retired to London. After the death of his wife and son a few years ago, Ross bought a house on the main streetof Lucan and liv- ed there with a housekeeper until his death.

Patty. Har- rison and Wendy Robertson sang The Lord is my Shepherd accompanied by Robert Becker playing his guitar. Patty, Wendy, and Robert are Christianview Bi- ble College students. Rev. C. J. Williams, from Matthew 6:31-34, stressed people want security and material things. Christians should put God's Kingdom first. We are not allowed to put anything before God, as that is idol worship. How much time do we spend pray- ing and seeking God for direc- tion for our lives? When obey- ing and following Jesus is first in our lives, there will be evidence in our living. Seek- ing the Lord means to exert oneself, to worship Him. Rev. C. J. Williams Sunday evening, from several Bible readings, told of men sleep- ing. In Matthew 13:24-25 a man sowed good seed, and weeds came up with it as he slept. NO matter how well we work, the devil will try to un- do it. In Acts 10:9-10 Peter fell asleep on a rooftop and had a Percy Williams; Lone Hands, Helen McDonald, playing a man's card and Low Score, John Loyens, with the Busy Buddies' prize won in a draw of names by Gayle Cronyn.

Tomorrow, Thursday, the'Busy Buddies will commence the woven place mats with instructor Bessie Roberts of the Crafty Crowl staff, London. Those having their own looms are reminded to bring them. Lunch was served by Jackie and John Damen and Honor Stanley. Centre vision of unclean food the Jews do not eat, and a voice telling him to eat it. - God told him what he had cleansed was not unclean. When Gentile men called for Peter, he knew God had been telling him to accept those who God had called. Matthew 26:36-46 tells of Jesus going to pray with three of his disciples before His crucifix- ion. The disciples let Jesus down when they fell aleep while He prayed for strength, three times. We need to stay awake to pray for strength. In Genesis 2:20-22, tells how God took a rib from under Adam's heart to make Woman, to be Adam's wife, while Adam slept. This first Adam brought sin into the world. The second Adam, Jesus Christ, after He awoke from sleeping in death, made the way in His ressurection to prepare the church for His bride. .

Baptismal service at United Church The sacrament of Infant Baptism was celebrated Sun- day morning at Lucan United Church when Jennifer Diane, daughter of George and Lin- da Wilkinson was brought for baptism by her parents. Den - nit and Mary Maguire served at the door as welcoming committee before the service, and the Senior Choir contrib- tued to the beauty of the wor- ship as they sang "Be Thou My Vision." During story time Mr. Brown reminded the children that God made everything. He can heal us and help us because He made us and can understand us perfectly. Following the story, the children left for Junior Church in charge of Sue Barr. Mr. Brown began a new sermon series based on Paul's first letter to Timothy. This letter was written to Paul's young colleague, Timothy whom he had left in charge of the Church at Ephesus. Paul wrote to in- struct him how to deal with problems that had arisen in that congregation. Many of these same problems appear in the church today, so that Paul's advice is very relevant for us also. In Paul's greeting at the beginning of the letter, he in- troduced himself as an apos- tle of Jesus Christ by the com- mand of God. Hewasanapos- tle because he had rrret Christ personally and had received a special commission to share Christ with others. Christians today who know and love Him have been -given a similar commission to help others • come to a personal faith. The One we serve is God our Saviour, not an angry, vengeful God, but one who loves the sinner and is deter- mined to do His utmost to give him a second chance by sen- ding Jesus to be His instru- ment to save us. Paul men- tions also Christ Jesus, our only Hope. Thursday at 8:15, the Couples' Club meets in the C.E. Wing fora games night. 'All couples of the congrega- tion are cordially invited to attend.
