ST,..PETER', HE•LD
•ANNIVERSARY
Sp£cial •services.
en _—Sunday.
marked the 65th anniversary of.
'St Peter's ;Anglican Church. The.
. congregation •was established, and
services held; for about five years
prior to that however. '•
The, .church was. beautified by
-a- profusion•: of summer. flowers
for the, anniversary occasion. The
morning service was • conducted
by the Rector, Rev. J. W. 'Don-
aldson and at the evening service
Canon= W.• A. ' T:ownshend, Conr-
niission;er • of the - Diocese.of .Hur-
on, was • guest speaker ad deliv-
ered a very forceful' sermon.
-""The " church Miss survived the
age's -it is. still the • mightiest
force 'in the world, and will never
-fail", said, Canon • Townshend:' It
is a symbol of the faith ,of our
forefathers. in God,and who by
their 'zeal and devotion made the
church constant.
Urging that 'we do something
worthwhile in life Canon Towns--
hend • said we must turn to per-
fect .,service .of our Lord :and
pattern our. lives after -His. And
the time here is so brief to do
anything „worthwhile, he added,
Seek God's ' will, . and be big
enough to do it, and yet narrow
enough to eliminate ,from our •
life's everythingthat interfers
with God, he urged. •
• Let us not make a farce of rel-
igion, - continued Canon' Town-
shend, for he who professes
Christ but never does anything
for Him is_ the most dangerous
man in the church. He gives Him
only the left -overs of his life.
There can never be a perman
ent peace until all countries make
God the King of Kings, the speak-
er said, and' added that .had we
sent more missionaries to Japan,
..the.:_:tragedy -.of the 'Pacific vvou°ld..
have been averted.
Canon -Townshend., referred to
the success of the Cross, 'although
at first the life -of Christ appear-
ed to have ended in complete
failure. It may be that when we
feel we are dothg nothing that
we are' succeeditirg most. He tom-
mended his -listeners that'"tcper-
set`gr'l-en the goineil dark is the
first challenge of Christianity".
Tall Wheat •
A sample of wheat from a field
grown by Jack Carter, east of
South Kinloss Church, measures
almost 5 feet 4 inches in height,
but -Mr. Carter" would probably
prefer it to be.half the length.

WILL' THERE BE A.
-THIRD TARTY . CANDIDATE?
The C.C.F. has intimated that
they Would' have a candidate in
practically all ridings , in .the.
forthcoming provincial election.
Whether there. , will be a third
candidate hi Huron=•$ru'.ce, re-
mains to be seen,
A few .days ago we heard a

be,• is definitely unknown.

which he was a member had .not
called a bye -election, They :,call •

Mr. Nixon ;said that the Oppos,-
ition' seemed .to ';criticize them' on
only two -points. One was' the
calling of ,the..,.Electi.on, yet the
Opposition had voted solidly,• a
long, with ,eight Liberals; inclu.d-
ing himself, against a further- ex-
tension''of the:• life, of the Gov- •
ernment.. We could have. carried •
on .until •.October of ' this, year,
but it v_as a question of calling
an immediate election,' or carry.,

The other point was the proxy
