These presen- tations have been both infor- mative and enjoyable for the students. boys and girls about Joel, a little shepherd boy who knew how-to pick out his own sheep from the midst of a flock of others. Christians know to whom they belong when they recognize Christ's voicecall- ing thein and follow Him. Following the story the children left with Mrs. McRoberts for their craft period in Junior Congrega- tion. The choir sang a hymn of worship and dedication, Fairest Lord Jesus, under. organist Helen Stanley's direction. Mr. Brown continued his sermon series on Paul's first letter to Timothy as he dealt with some of Paul's teaching about Worship in the church. Paul speaks in chapter- about the importance of 'prayer in worship; urging that ' "petitions, prayers,,requests. and thanksgivings be offered to God for all people." Paul demonstrated in his own life of continual prayer the importance he attached to this facet of worship. He men- tions four types of prayer to be used •in public worship. "Requests is the type that recognizes personal need and insufficiency and trusts God's all -sufficiency to meet that need. Such a prayer will sure- ly be answered. "Prayer" recognizes.God's love and mercies already received. Such an' apprecia- tion leads us to react in adora- tion and praise, or to confess unforgiven sin and seek cleansing. In "intercession". we go intro the King's au- dience chamber to submit a petition on behalf ofa third party. Intercessory prayer has wonderful power to bring Gods blessing to others The fourth type is Thanksgiving, which includes giving specific thanks for mercies received. Paul points out that prayer is to be for everyone, thus en-` couraging us to widen the scope of our prayer outreach beyond our immediate family.

Williams spoke from Exodus 12:3,6,12-14 con- cerning the angel of the Lord passing over the houses of the israelites who had applied the blood of the Iamb to their doorposts -and lintels. This • death angel killed all the first born of the Egyptians, and those who did not apply the blood. This fulfillment of that passover lamb was in the sacrifice of the Lamb of God. Jesus Christ. Ali those under the blood were spared. if anyone be in Christ. his soul is.spared. God promised line! eight promises in Exodus 6:6-8. One was to bring them out of t';gypt, out of bondage. When we accept Christ, God delivers us from bondage of sin. There is no way a man can be changed by his own moral ideas, as Christ is the only one who can work that miracle. God promised to take the Israelites for His peo- ple. t Peter 2:9 calls the Christians itis people. God ,promised Israel He would be their God. Hebrews 8:10 says Ile will be our God. • God gave laws for the. Israelites to obey. We also must obey God's laws. After the service commu- nion was served. Rev. C. J. Williams, Sunday evening. from Job 5:7. said the sparks flying from the fire are dead before they land. In Job 6:8 Job wants to • die because of his trouble. How many people come to the place where they think cir- cumstancesare so bad there is no way out? Rising above the troubles is the only way. Job t :6.12 tells that Satan was responsible for Job's suffer- ing. After Job Iost alt he had, he still worshipped God. When you feel you have nothing left, hang ,n to God. When Job prayed for his friends. and forgave them, he was healed. God blessed Job with double what he had before he was stricken. Trust Company Guaranteed Certificates • and R.R.S.P.
