The church was well filled for
the evening service, Caven, Trivitt
and James Street churches having
withdrawn their services for the
occasion. The theme of Mr. Dickin
son's sermon was “The things that
belong unto Peace.” His text was
taken from Luke 19:42 “If thou
liadst known, even thou, at least in
this thy day, the things which be
long unto thy peace." The words
were spoken by Jesus on the oc
casion of his triumphal entry into
Jerusalem. The occasion was the
climax to Christ’s ministry before
going straight on to the Gross. The
words could be addressed to Ger
many and might well be applied to
ourselves. The light of the Christian
church still holds and shines in all
parts of the world and it is one
of the things that will make for
world peace. Peace depends on
world-mindedness; also on the de
votion of people in all countries to
the higher and nobler things of life.
Another essential is a> greater dis
tribution of the world’s goods and
services to feed, house and com
fort the peoples of the world. Only
by sharing can we have peace and
brotherhood. The world owes much
to Christianity and Christians have
a great responsibility. The spirit
of peace that is found in the ac
ceptance of Jesus Christ as Saviour
will make us love the things that
belong to peace.
Miss Dorothy Davis sang a solo
“How Lovely are Thy Dwellings.”
The male quartette, Claude Blowes,
Harold Skinner, Ray King and
Frank Wildfong sang two selections
“Let the Lower Lights be Burning”
and “O, Tjhou Blessed Saviour,"
