Times Advocate, 1984-10-17, Page 12Page 12 Times -Advocate, October 17, 19,34 Young couples in car rally Saturday afternoon members of Lucan Revival Centre young married couples and singles enjoyed an unusual Car Rally. With a sheet of instructions, each carload of young people had to look up Scripture verses to find were to turn on the route. Then they had to carefully observe signs, landmarks, businesses, etc, to answer the trick questions to build up points towards winning. Each car left at different times so they could not follow each other. Bruce Thomson mapped out the route, and made up the questions as well as organizing the Rally. The route took them north through part of Biddulph township, down south through Nissouri township, until they landed at the destination, a farm off Clark Road, the Lindsay family's, where they had a nice meal provided from money collected from the Rally members. James Henry won the trophy, a tiny replica Model T Ford. Sunday morning Rev. Roger Mason introduced Mr. George Glover, president of Hamilton Teen Challenge. Playing his guitar, Mr. Brian Stewell led in chorus singing, before he sang red, Blue, Gold, and Brown. Several members of Teen Challange presented two drama skits. First, Park Bench, a young man bemoaned he had lost all he had that day. Two men sat on each side of him, talking about how God had blessed them giving them peace. They said God had told them to witness to others of this, joy, but they left not telling this unhappy man of God's blessing. Next was the crucifixation scene, with one portraying Jesus, whom the rest riducul- ed. They reviled Him, telling of all the things in the world they have taken His place. One man then told how only through Jesus can anyone ex- perience the peace Jesus gives. Mr. Glover told how Christianity is a relationship -with God. The Teen Challenge choir sang I've got Love in my Heart, then We are the Reason, and It Wouldn't be Enough. Mike Meyer gave his story of how he sought peace through alcohol, and drugs. even though it gave him no peace. Finally he tried ending it all. A Ten Challenge member toldhim Jesus could give him the peace he was seeking. He went to Teen Challenge where he found deliverence and peace with t God. The choir sang Glory Lord Jesus, and Now I have a Reason for Living. Mr. Glover called Mr. Dan a McUnachie to tell his story. t He had been drinking for 15 years, with a drug problem. Even though he was going to A.A. meetings he found no peace. He took an overdose of pills, and landed in hospital. He found Teen Challenge, where they told him how to find peace in Jesus Christ. He gave the resume of the work Teen Challenge does, bring- ing the claims of Christ to men who need it from age 16 to 50. The cure rate of Teen Challenge through Christ is 86 percent. Mr. Glover spoke from Psalm 32:1-5, where the Psalmist is talking to believers although saved, are living on yesterday's ex- periences. The most impor- tant thing is to know and do something for God every day. God wants Christians to be a New Testament church to pray for one another. Mrs. Judi Ross led chorus singing Sunday evening, with Mrs. Carole Butler playing the piano. Rev. Roger Mason ministered from Joshua 3:14-17, the story of the Israelites crossing the Jor- dan. A tremendous miracle took place here as the river Jordan was flooded, yet they crossed over on dry ground. As the priests bearing the ark of God stepped in the river, the water stopped flowing for nearly 30 miles, allowing the Israelites to cross over on dry ground. \God told Joshua before this event it would hap- pen. There are six things that will give us a successful Christian life -following God. First in verse 3, Israel focussed their eyes on Goci to move with God. Christians are also to keep their eyes on God to move as God does. Se- cond, Israel had a mobilized disposition as in verses 3 and 11 where God said to move they had to be ready to go. Christians should never be comfortable in their Christian experience, as God can say "It is time to move." Israel had receptive hearers, as in verses 9 and 14, receiving God's command, and then obeying. Christians need to be serious enquirers into the Christian faith, then follow the Bible. Last, Israel had an expectant faith. Verse 13 shows the reality of the miracle God promised in verse 8, when the Israelites proceeded in expectant faith as instructed. We need to believe even before we receive from God. Upcoming Events Sunday morning the Prou- y Singers will be ministering. October 19 - 21 is to be Youth retreat in Kincardine. t is to be a time of great fun nd Spiritual refreshing.

Alert stops drinking drivers An Ontario Provincia} Police alert for drinking drivers this summer resulted in 1,210 persons being charg- ed with drinking and driving offences in a 28 -day period in July. OPP officers stopped and checked more than 64,000 vehicles from July 2 to July 29. As well as alcohol-related criminal offences, 1.751 charges were laid under the provincial Liquor Licence Act as a result of stop -checks. A.L.E.R.T. (Alcohol Level Evaluation Roadside Tester) devices are a key ingredient in the OPP's summer blitz. This portable machine measures the quantity of alcohol in a driver's body by breath analysis. A "fait" reading on the A.L.E.R.T. results in the driver being taken for a for- mal breathalyzer examination. A "warn" reading. which means a driver'., blood- alcohol level is between 50 and?i9 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood (50 99 mg percent ). is sufficient grounds for a police officer to issue a 12 -hour suspension. In the same 28 -day period, 1.874 12 -hour licence suspensions were ordered The legal im- pairment level is 80 mg percent. OPP Commissioner Archie Ferguson said. "We've had very positive results in one area where a 12 -month con- trolled anti -drinking and driv- ing program shows fatal ac- cidents reduced by 36 per- cent; alcohol was involved in 15 percent of those accidents, as against 40 percent in the same area in the.previous 12 months " Commissioner Ferguson said that the provincial police will keep up a high level of en- forcement because there is a definite correlation between the quality of enforcement and the extent to which drivers comply with the drinking and driving laws. Rich people miss one of the greatest thrill in life - paying the last installment. -Quoted in What's Happening in Belleville (Chit.) R.R. 6, Woodstock. Kennedy was pinned in his vehicle and is now in University Hospital in London suffering major injuries. The transport driven by Kennedy was travelling east- bound on Highway 7 when he swerved to miss a vehicle driven by Stephen Toohey, Lucan and was struck by the westbound transport driven by Gilmar.
