CAVEN REOPENS
Beautiful Spring weather, large
and appreciative audiences and a
preacher of outstanding ability and
fame combined to make the re-opep-
ing services of Caven Presbyterian
Church on Easter Sunday a marked
success. The main auditorium had
been closed for several weeks while
alterations were being affected and
the walls and ceiling redecorated.
The gallery in the real* has been
closed off by a neatly panelled par
tition and the ceiling lowered by the
use of an insulating board in pan
elled effect. This part of the work
was done by Mr. Clarence Heywood
and -the painting by Mr. Everett
Johnston. The color scheme is
most pleasing, the walls 'being a soft
peach and the ceiling a pearl. The
motto over the arch of the choir loft
“Worship the Lord in the Beauty of
Holiness” has been most artisically
lettered in Old English by Mr. Wm.
Lodder. On Sunday congregation
and workmen were receiving many
complimentary remarks on the beau
ty and pleasing effect of the whole
accomplishment, The congregations
were also- favored with two splendid
addresses by the guest speaker Rev.
Dr. Winchester, Minister-Emeritis of
Knox Presbyterian Church, Toronto,
Dr. Winchester, although past' his
three-score and ten years retains a
clearness of thought, a forcefulness
of delivery and a depth of know
ledge of the Scripture seldom exem
plified by the younger generation of
preachers. Both sermons were
worthy of detailed reporting but that
at the evening service .based on the
theme “The Grief of a God of love”
was both profound and of electrical
effect, holding the large congrega
tion tense throughout. Dr. Winches
ter remained as the guest of his
daughter, Mrs. Gordon, at the manse
during the first half of the week and
spoke in the church each night on
some selected aspect of prophecy.
His addresses on Tuesday night on
“The Day of the Lord” and on Wed
nesday night on “The Millenium and
After” were intensely interesting.
The Doctor is a recognized authority
on the Second Coming of Our Lord
and his exposition of this most dif
ficult and little known subject of
Scripture study is appreciated thro’-
out the whole of the American con
tinent.
At the Sunday services the min
ister of the congregation, Rev. S.
Moore Gordon, B.D. assisted having
recovered fro.m an illness of some six
weeks. Splendid music was render
ed by ho choir under the direction of
the organist, Mrs. J. G. Cochrane.
In the. morning Mr. Raymond Prydo
took the solo parte and in the even
ing Mr. Grafton Cochrane. Beautiful
Spring flowers with Easter Lilies
and ferns decorated the pulpit plat
form,

WANDERED AWAY
Little Miss Helen Street, aged two
years, who is visiting at the home
of her grandmother, Mrs. Welling
ton Johns, wondered away on Mon
day afternoon and wa® picked.' up
near Caven. church by Miss Ruth
Collingwood. It was a couple of
hours before the identity of the
little lady was learned and she was
restored to her anxious loved ones.
STILL SEARCHING
The Public Utilities Commission
are still in search of water. An ex
amination has been made of the
rock well on the old salt well prop
erty and at present efforts are being
made to ascertain the condition of
the rock well on the old Sutherland
Innis mill site on Huron St. west of
Victoria Park. The well was' cap
ped when the company abandoned
the property a number -of years ago
but since that time some debris has
been dumped into the well and an
effort is being made to clear it a-
way, the obstruction occurring at
about 150 feet down.
EASTER SERVICES
■Special Easter services were ob
served in the various churches on
Sunday. Floral decorations adorn
ed the pulpits. Special Easter mes
sages were delivered by the various
ministers and Easter music was pro
vided by the choirs.
Trivitt Memorial Church
At the Trivitt Memorial Church
Holy Communion was observed at 8
o’clock in the morning at which
there was a splendid attendance.
It was observed again at 11 a.m. The
morning service was especially well
attended. The choir at the mornin'g
service sang “King of Kings” with
Miss Jessie Jennings taking the
solo part. In the evening they sang
“Angels of Easter” with Mrs. N. J.
Dore, Mrs. Lloyd Lindenifield and
Mr. Bryne Cousins taking solo parts.
The messages by the Rector, Rev.
M. A. Hunt were appropriate for
Easter. Four Easter Lilies adorn
ed the altar, placed there in mem
ory of. Mr, and Mrs. D. Woods, Mrs,
H. S. Walter and Dr. H. K. Hyndman
Main Street United Church
The morning service at Main fit-
church <on Easter Sunday was es
pecially well attended and there was
a good turnout in the evening. The
pastor, Rev. A. E. Elliott delivered
two interesting Easter messages
His theme was two portraits of the
Disciples. The first portrayed the
disciples during the ministry of
Jesus and at the time of His betray
al and crucifixion. The second por
trayed the disciples after the resur
rection. The first showed the dis-'
ciples as intolerant, bigoted and
slow to learn demanding great
patience of the Master in teaching
them. They were weak and coward
ly as the shadow of the 'Cross loom
ed. At the time of the crucifixion
they were stricken and overwhelm
ed by the sense of the great tragedy.
But a wonderful transformation
took place following the resurrec
tion. .They became sane men of
confidence who were filled with the
sense of the reality of things. They
were heroic and brave as evidenced
by the boldness of Peter and John.
Their lives were noble and good and
radiated the love of Jesus. The
great transformation in their lives
resulted from the great transcendant
event which we celebrate on Easter
Sunday, a risen Saviour. The choir
under the leadership of Miss Huston
provided special music for the ser
vices. In the afternoon there was
a splendid attendance at the Sunday
school. A solo was sung by Mr. F.
Wildfong and the superintendent,
Mr. B. W- F. Beavers gave a short
address on the meaning of Easter.
James Street United Church

ceptionally large congregation with

was one of the best attended ser
vices of its kind fbr many years.
Two anthems were furnished by the
choir “0 Death Where is Thy -Sting”
Mrs. Williams taking the solo part;
and “Christ is Risen.”
A most delightful Easter cantata,
“The Thorn-Crowned King” by Fred
B. Holton, was rendered by the choir
under the direction of Mr. W. R,
Goulding at the evening service. The
special parts were taken as follows:

“The Dream of Queen Esther”
Councillor Jas. Morley and Silas
Reed one evening recently made a
sight-seeing tour of various munici
palities in Western Ontario being in
terested in ascertaining just what
these municipalities have in the way
of ornamental street lighting and
what would best meet the needs of
Exeter’s new system. In one of the
towns visited it was little wonder
that the curiosity of some of the cit
izens was aroused to see a stranger
in the middle of the night climbing
a hydro pole. The visitors, however
wanted to ascertain the height of
the stardard as there is some dis
cussion around town as to just what
is the correct height for the new
Lights.
The Race Committee of the Exe
ter Old Boys is off to a good start.
