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..

CQNFIRMATION
AT ST. PETER'S
Ari impressive service was held
in St. Peter's Church Sunday' ev-
ening, ,when Bishop ;Seager' con-
ducted the Rite of Confirmation

Marshall, Mrs. Annie Jean Gaunt,
Mrs.' Isabel Evans Gaunt, Law-
rence Alban: Salkeld, all of Luck -
.now; and'C'atherine Farrell;' Mrs.'
Annie Scott and John Farrell, of
Bishop.. .Seager delivered a
forceful and feeling sermon, out-
lining what „ only ' the Christian
church can give to the world
—
a true vision' of God, and, human
redemption . through *the sacrifice
of Christ. 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. ,
