Participants came from Exeter, Seaforth, Clinton and London as well as from Lucan. Through Bible Study and sharing, the group arrived at a Biblical definition of evangelism as "revealing the Good News of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit through word and life, so that others may be drawn by God to believe in Christ personal- ly as Saviour and to serve Him communally as Lord." Mr. Robertson presented a "Friendship" approach to evangelism, whereby a witness is made in the context of a genuinely caring relation- ship, with the aim of securing not only decision for Christ, but discipleship. An excellent film, "For theve of Pete" showed . how approach worked out for5g. concerned couple.

Revival centre news Mrs. Marlene Thornton Sunday morning opened the service singing May This he a Place. Rick Thornton read Hebrews 10:19-22. Rev. C. J. Williams spoke from 2 Kings 4:18-37 and Hebrews 5:13-14 that spiritual children begin to get an appetite for strong learn- ing of God's word. it is ex- citing to see a promised son develop in the Lord. But this woman's promised son died when he was just starting, to learn. The woman laid her son on Elisha's bed in the room she had prepared for him. The promise looked dead, but God wasn't. She shut the door on defeat, then went for the man of God, Elisha. Prac- ticing llehrew 11:1, her fa ith motivated her to say "All will be well", to her husband before she went. She brought Elisha back in faith. Elisha shut the door also when he went in to minister to the child. The shut door kept out unbelief. Elisha's faith in ministering to the dead child restored the child back to life. The woman had ministered to Elisha to meet his need. God, through Elisha, ministered to her in giving back her son, honoring her faith. Sunday evening Rev. C. J. Williams asked how one may know the leading of the Holy Spirit. God may send a com- pelling urge to do something for Him. Judges 3:9 speak of a man upon whom God's Spirit moved to deliver Israel. He was available to God. Acts 27:21-26 tells of an angel assuring Paul all on the boat would be spared from the storm at sea. God's Spirit made the difference. Something new and good will come to those who wait upon the Lord. in Revelation 1:9-10 John, exiled in Patmos, tells of being in the Spirit of God, who gave him the writing of the book of Revela- tion. We may think we cannot do any great thing for God. God may not call us to do great things, but Ile calls us to be faithful to obey God's Spirit in whatever He calls us to do for ilim. .

This is one of the Home projects of the Mis- sion and Service Fund of the Church. A large group of boys and girls came to the front for Beth Cowdrey's children's story about "Report Cards". Sammy boasted to Mother that his marks were much better than Clara's, but he learned that Clara's love and thoughtfulness at home were really more important to God than his high marks. -"Knowing puffsup, but lov- ing builds up," Beth told the children. Following the story, Beth and Barb Gibson took the children out for their Junior Congregation Craft period.

Mr. Brown continued with the study on 1 Timothy chapter 5 pointing out that the Church is the Family of God. Family members should be treated lovingly and with respect, even when behaviour needs to be corrected. This attitude will eliminate many of the hard feelings that arise from time to time in the church fellowship. Paul gives detailed instructions in this chapter about caring for needy widows in the infant church. This principle of car- ing for other Christians in real need is one which has been central in the Church over the centuries, and still must be a basic concern in our differing society today. Paul also gave Timothy in- structions about the Church's responsibility to full-time Church workers. They should be adequately supported and protected from slander. Paul emphasized the need for careful selection of can- didates for ordination if the purposes of God for His Church are to be fulfilled. Special Easter choir prac- tices continued Wednesday at 8:15, and junior choir meets at its regular time Thursday at 6:30.

And in Matter of the Lands and Premises at the following Municipal address In the Province of Ontario NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corpora- tion of the Township of Biddulph intends to designate the property including lands and buildings, at the following municipal address as a property of architectural and historical value or interest under Part IV of The Ontario Heritage Act, 1974, S.O. Chapter 122. Municipal Address: St. Patrick's, Roman Catholic Church, R.R. 3 Lucan, Ont. NOM 2.10 Reasons for the Proposed Designation: i. ARCHITECTURALY, St. Patrick's Church is a good example of Gothic Revival church design as erected in early pioneer days. It's plain ex- terior walls constructed of locally produced white brick are pleasantly relieved by perpen- dicular buttresses and slender Gothic windows. In contrast, the tall bold lines of the square brick tower topped by its lofty spire, lend strength to the frontal view of this house of worship. Incidentially, our present church is closely similar in architectural design and size to the first St. Peter's Cathedral built in 1854 in Lon- don and long since demolished to make way for the present Cathedral Basilica. ii. HISTORISALLY too, this ecclesiastical struc- ture is worthy of note. Built in 1858-1859 by Irish settlers who along with their neighbours were clearing the land in Biddulph and London Townships it became a focal point of divine worship, in good times and in bad, 'in times of rejoicing and tragedy, for the past century and a quarter. Any person may, within thirty days of the first publication of this notice, send by registered mail or deliver to the Clerk of the Township of Biddulph notice of his or her objection to the proposed designation together with a.state- ment of the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts. If such a Notice of Objection is received, the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Biddulph shall refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing.
