PASTOR FOR ANNIVERSARY James St, United church congre- The ■ celebrated a ,very successful anniversary on Sunday when they welcomed to their pulpit Rev, C. W. Brown, B.A.,D.D., of Robinson Mem­ orial church, London, a former pastor. Dr. Bfown recently came to London from Calgary, Alta. Twenty- five years ago as a young minister he was the beloved pastor of James St church, and the congregation were pleased to have him with them for their anniversary and to listen to his inspiring gospel messages. Dr. Brown spoke briefly of the happy I associations during his pastorate of the church and referred to some of the saintly members who have since passed to their reward. At the morning service Dr. Brown spoke from the 73rd Psalm, When the Psalmist looked out over the world and saw the prosperity of the wick­ ed his feet had almost slipped. There are men who succeed in poli­ tics, in business and satisfy their every desire without thought or care for the other fellow. It was when the Psalmist entered the sanc­ tuary that he learned the true con­ ceptions of a happy and successful life. In the evening the speaker to»k for his subject “What is God Like?” basing his remarks on the text “If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask' him?” In man’s thoughtful mood he seeks a know- ledge-of God. One method by which the writers of biblical books proceed to indicate what is the nature of God is by taking the finest qualities in the acts of human life and to lift them up and carry them forward to some conception of what God is. The speaker told the story of Hosea’s love for his foolish, wayward wife Gomer, who had deserted him, but who was forgiven, ransomed from the slave market and brought back to his own horn*. He spoke of the love of David for his wayward son! Absalom; of the love of the father foi’ theTr-odigal aon; slso of the love and devotion of Rispah for her sons whose lives had been sacrificed. We think of tion and think of man, and of God. have a responsibility in interpreting the spirit of Jesus Christ. Is there anything in our life and character ‘•’■•nt . will glorify our Heavenly _ ^cher? The choir furnished splendid music for the occasion and w.ere. ably as­ sisted by Capt. E. G. Wood, bari­ tone, of St. Paul's church, London, who sang a solo both morning and evening that delighted tions and added much of song. A special was received which about $850. treas., Mr. William executive committee to compose of the officers and the * " „ ‘bers; Messrs. Stanley Walter, Ted. Moyle, W- J. Stanlake, Wm. Winer and T. Sanders.
