WANT TO APPEAL
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
You still have time to appeal your 1987 assessment if you
feel your home or business property has been improperly
assessed. Your assessment is important because the
amount of property tax you will pay in 1988 depends on it.
The assessed value of your property is multiplied by the
municipal and school mill rates to determine your prop-
erty taxes.
Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to'property
owners and tenants whose assessments have changed
since last year. Open house information sessions were
held in your area to give you the. opportunity to ask ques- .
tions and correct any errors.
The Assessment Roll was delivered to your municipality
on December 22, 1987 and will be used to calculate the
taxes you will pay in 1988. You can review the Roll at your
municipal office during regular business hours. If you
believe your property has been improperly assessed and
you have not yet registered an appeal, you still have until
January 12, 1988 to mail or deliver your appeal to the
Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you
• did not receive a Notice of Property Valuation, you still
have the right to appeal. -
Appeal deadline — January 12, 1988
The Assessment Review Board is an" independent tri-
bunal under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of the
Attorney General. It is intended to provide you with an
additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed
if, in your opinion, it isnot fair and equitable with the
assessment of similar properties in your area. The Review
Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court
of law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer, or
ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent.
To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms
are available from the Assessment Review Board, your
Regional Assessment Office, or your municipal office.
You can also use the reverse side of a Notice of Property
Valuation, or write a letter giving the property address and
roll number along with your reasons for appealing.
Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of
the Assessment Review Board at the address shown
below.
In those parts of Ontario designated .for French Lan-
guage Services, you can appear before a bilingual (Eng-
lish/French) Appeal Board. Please check the space
provided on your appeal form' if you wish to use this
service.

happy life - "Spiritual Life" a one
on one relationship with God.
"Marriage" - no amount of good
works will compensate for an un-
happy spouse.
"Family" - quality time, spent on
each family member, understanding
their problems - "Job" - Don't be a
workaholic - work hard and give it
your best shot.
"Ministry" - community work,
helping neighbours being a good
friend. These examples will insure
you, as an individual, a more re-
warding life style, than all the reso-
lutions you could make.
It is important to leave some leg-
acy behind but (priorities again)
what we have stored up in Heaven
is far better.

News from Revival Centre
Members of Lucan Revival Cen-
tre were treated to a delicious smor-
gasbord at the New Year's Eve Sup-
per in the Fellowship Hall at 9
p.m., Thursday. After supper, all
gathered upstairs for the new Year's
Eve Service. The front of the church
was lit with candelabra, giving the
service a homey atmosphere.
Doug Butler played his electric pi-
ano, accompanied by Mrs. Marti
Butler playing her guitar, as thcy
led the worship in song. Rev. Rog-
er Mason gave a review of the spe-
cial events in the.church for the past
year. Leonard Evans, guest speaker,
spoke from Zachariah 4:10, asking
who has despised the day of small
things?
Be faithful to God in the little
things, and Jesus said He would
make us rule over many things. No
one is unimportant, as we do not
have the choice to reject the small
things God uses.
Mr. Evans read several scriptures
where God used small things for
His work. 1 Corinthians 1:16 tells -
us God has chosen things insignifi-
cant for His work.
Don't focus on what little you
have, but focus on what you do
have. He challenged all to let God
use them in little things
God is still in the business of
If you ever wonder why a rabbit has placing these little things in His
a shiny nose. it's because, its puff is people's hands for His work.
at the other end. - All present were invited to come
forward to be served communion
just after midnight of the New Year.
After communion, Doug and Marti
Butler led in singing You're my
Brother, You're my Sister as all
joined hands. The meeting closed
with all singing I Love You with
the Love of the Lord.
Rev. Roger Mason conducted the
Sunday morning service. Mr. Doug
Butler played his electric piano to
accompany the singing. Rev. Ma-
son read 11 Timothy 1:6-7. Paul re-
minds Timothy to 'stir up the spirit-
ual gifts that were given to him by
God. These gifts arc listed in 1 Co-
rinthians 12-13-14. All the gifts be-
long to God, but God distributes
them by His Holy Spirit to 1-Iis be-
lievers as He secs fit.
As a Christian depends on God,
thcse spiritual gifts can be used by
him for the betterment of the body
of Christ, the church. The work of
God cannot be accomplished by nat-
ural talents or efforts.
Paul reminds Timothy God had
not given him a spirit of fear. Ti-
midity, or cowardncss are not from
God.
God never calls a Christian to a
task without gifting that person to
do it.
Sunday evening Doug Butler
played the electric piano accompa-
nying Rev. Roger Mason leading
the song service. Rev. Mason spoke
from 11 Timothy 2:3-6. In Iran fa-
natical Moslems give their lives
willingly for their cause believing
they go to Allah in Moslem heav-.
en. Castro in Cuba is a committed
communist trying to win others to
his belief. Eastern gurus from India
use transcendental meditation and
other mind changing teachings to
convert the west to their Hindu ide-
ology.
In contrast, what kind of devotion
do Christians express of their faith
in God? Just as there arc dabblers in
the false religions, so there are dab-
blers in Christianity.
In Timothy we read of solid com-
mitments to Jcsus Christ. A soldier
of Jesus Christ in verse 4 has a
wholehearted devotion to the word
of God. Like a good Christian, a
soldier should be single minded to
his purpose. He should be detached
from affairs of his former life to ful-
fill the purpose of his objective to
win.
A devoted Christian lays aside
worldly things and devotes himself
to serving God. Just as a soldier is
under rigorous discipline, so a
Christian is under the discipline of
the.word of God.
