Lucan United Church for Pentecost Sunday morning. Before His acscen- sion into heaven, Jesus pro- mised His disciples, "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem and in Judaea and Samaria and away to the ends of the earth." The Holy Spirit is the One who brings spiritual power to the Church of Jesus Christ both on the first day of Pentecost, and to- day in this Church. said Mr. Brown. The•choir shared a good message as they sang. "I'm going to live the way He wants me to -live." Linda Froats told the children's' story about Jerry who got so.. busy doing other things that he failed to spend time with Mr: Thompson and missed out on -his summer,visit to the farm. Sometimes children and adults become so busy with their own interests that they fail to get to know their Heavenly Father and miss the many blessings He has for them - the joy of His forgiveness and Ills presence in their hearts, as well as the Home He has for them in Heaven.

She pointed out that 17 Pacific nations are scattered over 1,700 miles of ocean. But rather than isolating the people, the ocean brings them together for they use it as their chief highway. Phyllis spoke also of the nuclear issue in the South Pacific. Between 1946 and 1958, 66 nuclear tests were conducted in that area by various world powers, and this process con- tinues to the present lime. along with the dumping of nuclear waste. Islanders and their environment have suf- fered greatly because o(this. This is one of the issues of most concern to Christians in the area, and they look to Christians living in more in- fluential nations to stand with them against this evil.
