The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1946-10-24, Page 1Established 1873 Caven Church Marks Anniversary . Caven 'Church celebrated two anniversaries over the week-end, ■the one the :25th wedding anniver­ sary of Rev, Kenneth and Mrs. MacLean; the other the anniver­ sary of the congregation, The con­ gregation has a long and interest­ ing history and has had many an anniversary marked foy good mus­ ic good preaching setting forth the vital truths of Christianity. • . The services of last Sunday rank high among the best of such occa­ sions, The preacher was the Rev. Charles H, MacDonald, of Luck­ now. In the morning he gave a very illuminating criticism of the church’s life and call, In the eve­ ning he dealt with the marks of a true Christian worker as exempli­ fied by the Apostle Paul in his statement, “I Ibear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” The Christian life never is easy and makes its mark upon the body and the soul. The choir was assisted by several members of Main .Street United Church. A solo was' sung by Mrs. Taylor and a trio consist­ ed of Mrs. 'Sillery, Mrs. Stanlake and M'rs, Arthur Whilsmith. A well rendered anthem supplied part of the special music in the morning. In t'he evening Mrs. Taylor was again soloist and Miss Dorothy Davis took the solo part in the anthem. The congregational sing­ ing at both services was quite in­ spiring.

EXETER’S ALBINO SQUIRREL Frisking about the village of Exe­ ter is something of a rarity in the animal kingdom, that of an Albino squirrel. It is not the first whitq squirrel that Exeter can boast of as there have been 3 in the past five yeans. All have been playful little fellows and quite tame but their stay in town has been short-lived A resident of Exeter was telling us one time that he had visited the museums in Toronto and Montreal and had failed to find a white squir­ rel among the vast collection of mountd animals. This picture was taken on the lawn .of Mr. Francis Blatchford, of town, by Frank Johns of Toronto, while here on his sum­ mer vacation. DAUGHTER CARRIES ON —• Barbara Lee Aylesworth, twenty-year-old blonde beauty of Watford, Ontario^ gamely carries on the publication of her father’s weekly newspaper, the Watford Guide-Advocate while he is barred from work Because of a heart ailment. Barbara Lee has assumed full responsibility for getting out the paper. (LEFT) She locks up a form containing the story she has just written on the new Canada Savings Bond issue. Like many weekly publish­ ers, Barbara Lee not only writes the news and helps out in the composing room, but sells advertising space to local merchants, (RIGHT) Barbara Lee points out to Mr. Carmen C. Harper, owner of the Watford furniture store that the advent of a Canada Savings Bond issue gives him an oppor­ tunity to inform his customers of a good investment for their savings, by running an advertisement sponsoring the issue. . . Seventy-Third Year Record capacity crowds attended the Jubilee services of izion Evan­ gelical Church, Crediton, frdm Oct, 13 th to 20th. Dr. Fipkbeiner, pf Naperville, Ill., spoke on the 13th, On Wednesday evening, Rev, Bipr pel, of Port Elgin, a former minis? ter, spoke very acceptably at the first communion, service to be held within the renovated chancel, On Friday evening Mr. Roy Gouldlng’s choir from the Talbot St. Baptist Church, London, presented a mast­ erful grand concert assisted by the artists, Mr, Don Wright, cello 1st, and trumpeter, and Mr. Sproulp, violinist. Mr. Gouldjng was at th® organ, assisted by Miss Mary Chal­ craft, at the piano. Among the num­ bers rendered were “The Holy ■City,” “Glorious is Thy Name/’ “Handel’s Largo,” “The Heavens are Telling,” and the “Hallelujah- Chorus.” On Sunday Dr. Heininger, president of the Evangelical Theo. Seminary, Naperville, III,, spoke to record crowds. In the morning he spoke to the theme, “The Call to Worship,” choosing for his text the passage, “Create in me a clean heart, Oh *God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Dr. Heininger made reference to. the cross-center-, ed chancel setting as being signifi-^ ant in giving the worshipper a true picture of real worship. The call to worship resides in a new picture of God as a God who knows, as a God who (knows what is wrong, and as a God who is able to correct the wrong. It resides in the cleansing of the heart and in the renewal of the spirit of man. The trouble to­ day is not with the world as it is with the human heart which needs cleaning up. When these conditions are fulfilled a worship experiences results and when once the worship­ per has discovered what is wrong with his spirit, then he can go on on confidence to live the Christian life. Mr. Joshua Brown one of Zion’s spiritual sons and formerly juven­ ile judge in Michigan for sixteen years charred the afternoon’s serv­ ice of reminiscences. A special jub­ ilee choir of former familiar voices rendered two selections. Mr.-Brown ■ interspersed the program with in­ teresting comments of his own and tribute was paid to some of the older members of the congregation present with the singing of “Faith of Our Fathers.” Mr. Herb Eilber read the history of the church and Mik Arthur Amy read several jub­ ilee letters of greetings.' Reminis­ cent speeches were heard from Mr. Ralph Litt, Mr. George Brown, Miss Pearl Haist, Mr. Moses Brown, Rev. S. Faist, and others, Good response was received in answer to the ques­ tion, “How many are still Evan­ gelical? How many hold a-church office somewhere, can you name some outstanding ‘Christian of Crediton who has influenced your life?” Special numbers were sung by Mrs. Hess, of Zurich; Mrs. Kit­ ting, of Goderich; Mr. Florendo Sweitzer, df Sebewing, Mich.; and. Messrs. Wein, Hoffman, Wuerth, of Exeter, and Mr. Meleck, of Zurich. A fellowship supper followed the afternoon service where old friends sat together in small groups. Mrs. Gottfried Wein, Crediton, was awarded the distinction of cutting the church ibirthday cake of four tiers in height. Mrs. H. Eilber and. (Continued on Page 7)
