Following this, the hymn,. “A charge to keep I have” was sung by the whole congregation. The sermon, based on the text, “Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we faint not” (Gal. 6:9), endeav­ oured to point out some of the difficulties encountered both in every day Christian living and in working for the church, and that the church’s work consisted not only of its worship and its organ­ izational activities, ibut most of all, of the witness of its members in every day life. The success of of the Church’s work, in the community and in the world at large is assured through the un­ tiring efforts of its members to carry out in their lives and in their church work the implica­ tions of the faith they profess, The service closed with the sing­ ing of “Go Labor On, Spend and Be -Spent”, and the benediction.
