That' terrifying thing is that when the monarch of Cambodia was deposed because of the approach of the Red Chinese, he flew to Peking, rather than to the "West". It was those very soldiers of Red China who caused his downfall. It was not to negotiate with their leaders that he went, for he took nothing with which to bargain. His nation was lost. The military had taken the government away from him. What should have been a simple police action became a conflagration. The unpopular Vietnamese had been sent into his land, as well as American troops. His people were being ST. ANDREW'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. Interim Moderator Rev. G. L.

The monarch of Cambodia was afraid that if he flew to the Western world, anywhere at all, the C.I.A. would loose one of its killers on him. There was just one place he could feel secure from the long arm of assassination by the supporters of military government. • Now, he could have been wrong. He could have been "dead" wrong. He risked that possibility by flying to Red China, rather' than India or Australia or Saigon. It will be interesting to see how Chile's Marxist President makes out. Speaker: JOHN TURNER. "This lovely old church has been a cross-roads beacon in Goderich Township ever since it was built in the fall of 1872 and has been marked as a people and congregation of the utmost loyalty and devotion and loving service in all this period of its history." This is a direct quotation from the present rector of this parish, the Rev. E. J. B. Harrison, the incumbent since May, 1957. Glancing back over the records, we find that the present church was a successor to a log church that stood further south. Previous to that time the people met in John Middleton's barn slaughtered by ,the bloodlust of war. All of these things were due directly to the Red Chinese. Had they pulled back, he could have retained power. Yet, he flew into their arms, rather than to America. Has no one ever wondered why? The monarch of Cambodia had resisted the encroachments of Red China. He did not want them running his country. At his command his troops were resisting the advance of the Red Chinese. He knew the avarice and relentless greed of the Chinese communist doctrine. Yet, he flew into the hospitality of their government rather than the governments who were sending help to resist the Red Chinese. Well, just to end your suspense, perhaps it should be SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1970 10:00 a.m. — Holy Communion. Sermon and Church School until they "built God a church". The Middleton family has had a continuous association with this parish since John Middleton deeded the land for the church built in 1872. His oldest son Charles B. Middleton was born that year and his youngest son is Fred Middleton, whose farm adjoins the church property. Few people recall that St. James was first associated with St. Stephen's Church (Marianne's) on the Huron Road about two miles from Goderich. This church was closed about 1893. St. James, Middleton was later served by the rector of St. John's, Holmesville and St. Luke's in Goshen but in the spring of 1923 the church at Goshen was closed and the church at Holmesville was then joined on to the parish of St. Pauls, Clinton. At this time, St. James, Middleton became part of a three-fold parish with Trinity, Bayfield and St. John's in Varna. The latter was closed in 1966 and St. James, Middleton and Trinity Church, Bayfield now comprise the joint parish of Middleton and Bayfield. It is the proud record of St. James, Middleton that it has never been closed at any time since 1872. It has been served by a long line of dedicated rectors. We believe this is the complete record: Rev. Evans Dories, Rev. Thos. Watson, Rev. A. C. Forbes, Rev. A. E. Miller, Rev. C. Re Matthew, Rev. H. Douglas Steele, Rev. E. W. Racey, Rev. L. W. Diehl, Rev. Wm. Stout, Rev. Ernest B. Smith, Rev. H. A. Wright, Rev. A. H. Rhodes, Rev. W. F. Kearney, Rev. W. H. Dunbar, Rev. Chas. Langford, Rev. W. B. Moulton, Rev. C. M. Hallowell, and the Rev. B. P. Colclough, up to the year 1923. There have been ten rectors in charge of St. James, Middleton since 1923. These include the Rev. Canon H. F. Paull, now retired in Bayfield. Mr. Paull served from April 1925 to September 1933, (the longest time prior to the present rector). He was followed by the Rev. W. G. Bugler, now deceased; then by the Rev. John Graham, whose wife was a President of the Deanery of Huron W.A. Mr. Graham is now retired and living in Wallacetown. They were followed in quick succession by the Rev, R. C. Holmes, and the Rev. La Verne Morgan, now serving in the Diocese of Michigan (Lansing). The Rev. Eric Carew-Jones served from 1952-54 and died in England. The Rev. Warren Outerbridge was next. A native of Bermuda, he is now rector of St. John's, Franklenville, New York State. The present rector, the Rev. E. J. B. Harrison came to the parish on May 1, 1957. es.

A. Maybury, Goderich The Middleton Church is proud that its War Service Honour Roll is inscribed with 10 names, all living. No record of this church is complete without a report of its organizations which also made the church a social centre, and an important factor in the life of the community of Goderich Township. In Mr. Paull's era, a lively Young Peoples' Association attracted young people of many denominations. The organizations of this parish now include the Board of Management. The present Rector's warden is John Deeves and the People's Warden is,John W. Smith. The Sunday School, now supervised by Mrs. Don Middleton, has long flourished under a long line of dedicated teachers. The W. A. (now A.C.W.) has been a dominant factor in the church life and economy since its founding in 1891. The Rev. Louis Diehl was instrumental in its organization and joined in its W.A.'s 50th 'anniversary celebrations. For decades, the W. A. sent clothing bales to St. Paul's Residential School serving the Blood Reserve Indians at , Cardston, Alberta under the Rev. Canon Middleton. l‘Irs. Fred Middleton, Mrs. Arnold Miller and Mrs. Stewart Middleton were given life memberships in the W.A. Mrs. Edward Wise is the present president of the A.C.W. One by one the little churches of the countryside are being closed in the name of progress but it is the earnest prayer and hope of the many families of St. James Church, Middleton, that it will remain open as a house of God and serve succeeding generations as it has in the past, as a "free church, in a free state". It is proud of the fact that it has never been closed at any time since 1872. •-•,,,ndn. • *as. • N./.• Vnd.:NoseoNf • C.I.V.,!•••••... +"..c9V ,01, usiness Pr fessi !nal Directory • 9.0:11•111.•' SON •:9•• .NO. • • Non.

The wheels are turning to meet urgent Scripture needs in Nigeria, now recuperating from 30 months of civil war. Those needs involve 250,000 Bibles, 55,000 New Testaments, 360,000 Gospel Portions and 1,000,000 Scripture Selections — printed and supplied at a cost of $200,000. The cessation of hostilities last January came as Nigerians were showing renewed interest in 'God's Word.
