'A Year --In Advance;' 50e Extra to U.S.A. � LUCKNOW, QNTARIO THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1943 TENPAGES PREACHED ,HERE AT ANNIVERSARY • Despite most disagreeable wea- ther, large •corigregations attend- ed anniversary servibes Morning conducted ' by a former 'pastor, Rev.. R. C. , Todd of Georgetown.. These services marked'` the 58th anniversary of ;the dedication of the present church. ' r Rev. Todd, whb 'left here. for Georgetown little more than two years ago; said he felt honored to be . invited back so soon, as it *generally took longer than that for a congregation to overlook'the many bad points of a former pas- tor. Rev. Todd Chose as his text in the- morning,'Acts 20:28, ''''Take heed therefore. • unto- yourselves, and to , all the flock, over .the which the Holy Ghost hathmade you overseers,, to feed the Church of God; which He hath purchased .. _ with his pwn blood". He .pointed out the reat herita_ ._e. - fathers had handed down . to us in the chureh, .arid stressed the responsibility that is ours . in sus- taininethis heritage and passing it ofi to our children. g. There can be no half way meas.=_sires _It, is eitI ex._,_the—chores ,orr '° paganism. It is up to us, Mr. Todd said: The churchis indispensable, ' but it can . only be as strong: as we make it. • ' . 'Mr. Todd dramatized ..the death. of a ` young's R:,A.F7 pilot,' who, while. mortally wounded, wrote a: letter to • his mother, dad and sweetheart:' It pointed out that., he was not afraid to die, to•pre- serve the, rights and sanctity of t e Christian way of life. said Mr. Todd! he did not die that monopolies. might exploit his parents, or vice rings .exploit his' `sweetheart, or drunken hoodlums insult " her as she walked down the street. I -le died 'to protect. them. against sucl_things„,and it is that type of life thatwe are committed to establish.. 'At the evening service Mr.' Todd chose as his, theme, "The Lost •Christ". If -asked, if we are Christians, most of us would. answer we supposed so. "You either are or you aren't, there is no supposing", said Mr. Todd. The reasons we offer for empty pews in the church, and for fail- ure to take part in church work, are 'only excuses he pointed out. The real reason is, -we have lest Christ: "If you- haven't put every- thing behind the establishment of God, and if we are out .of sym- • •pathy with raising up the coin- mon omrnon 'man, we have. lost God", Mr. Todd emphasized. Frpm,his experience, the speak- er said, he had• found :more reli- gion in the troops than with. the • folks at home ',and' pointed out that the freedom to worship which' was bought by' the saeri-. Tice of our forefathers -was being rebought today by'the flower of our young manhood and woman- , .hood. ' • "Dare 1.0e, forget our , Christ?" • he challenged. When we ' find Christ there's a joy, . peace' and' happiness that nothing else can give. • • • - Special music was provided by the Choir at both servipes, • with Mrs. ' • I)urriin Phillips presiding at the organ.. • ry } • • Underwent Thyroid Operation Mrs. Earl Gaunt;. who under. went a thyroid operation in Lon• don on October 4th, is making a a ,favorable recovery and is at present convalescing et the home of her mother at Loridesboro. .P.

NO movement,' no phil- osophy, no organization; possess- es this redeeming ., power. The sermon, based upon the "passing by" of the priest and levite in ;the parable of. the Good Samar- itan,was a call: upon 'the church and its members,` not to "pass by" the, world and its needs today, for the church alone can meet its crying needs. , After spending six years as a patient in Victoria, Hospital, Lon- don, Muriel'.
