UNITED CHURCH S.S.
FLOWER SUNDAY
AUXILIARY HELD
CLOSING MEETING
WINGHAM SCORES SHUT-OUT AGAINST CHESLEY
Church Was Beautifully Decorated
for This Impressive Service.
. JX ——-
The auditorium of the United
Church on Sunday morning present
ed a most attractive appearance, ar
tistically decorated with flowers, for
the Annual Sunday School Annivers
ary and Flower Sunday. The setting
this year for the placing of the Sun
day School pupils’ bouquets was most
original and well arranged. In front
of the pulpit on top of a rock gar
den was an ever-flowing fountain of
.pure water which was decorated with
lilacs, spirea and colored lights. Hang
ing baskets and flowers in stands add
ed greatly to the setting as did a
, square of purple lilacs hung above the
■choir loft into which was woven the
"W.C.T.U. bow with white lilacs.
The service opened with the floral
•procession, each pupil carrying a bou-
■quet of flowers that were arranged on
‘the rock garden by Vern Walker, Jean
Cruickshanks, Ruth Hamilton and
Patricia Parker. Sunday School
children in white surplices occupied
WB the choir loft and led in the service
■of praise. Mr. F. R. Howson, Sunday
School Superintendent, had charge of
the service.
The Beginners and Primary Classes
sang a song of welcome “Children’s
Day” which was followed by the hymn
■“For the Beauty of the Earth” and
prayer by Elmer Wilkinson. The
children’s choir *sang “All the Happy
Children” and Jimmie Sanderson gave
the Scripture reading “The First
Children’s Day.” Leslie May Wall
then sang a solo. The choir sang
■“Growing in Beauty”, then Miss M.
Partushek and Mrs. W. B. McCool
sang “In the Garden.” Following the
offering prayer the hymn “When He
" Cometh” was sung. The choir sang
“The Army of Temperance" with
Billy Galbraith and Donald Campbell
taking the duet part.
The speaker for the occasion was
Miss M. Baillie, of Goderich, who
.gave a very fine address on Temper
ance. Her definition' of temperance
was “To b.e„ moderate . in all good
things and total abstinence of all bad
things.” She told' of the tulip that
in order to get above the ground had
to grow around a stone and she ad
vised all the chidlren to" go around
all thck temptation that besets them.
She also told the story of a man that
a painter picked to paint as the Christ
as he had such a fine face,
later this painter picked a
. paint as Judas and much to his sur
prise it was the same man.
Mrs. Linklater, of Teeswater, Gave
Splendid Address to Goforth
Auxiliary.
The final meeting of the Goforth
Auxiliary for the season was held on
Thursday evening at the’home of Mrs.
A. Posliff, with a large attendance.
After the opening hymn, the Scrip
ture reading, Acts 9: 36-43, was taken
by Miss Anne. Geddes. Miss V., Mc
Laughlin gave the explanatory re
marks, Miss Dorothy Lloyd led in
prayer and Misses Edith Campbell and
Helen Hammond sang a delightful
duet “In The Garden.”
Mrs. Linklater, of Teeswater, the
special speaker, expressed great pleas
ure in coming back to Wingham
where she had worked in the Mission
Band and Sunday School twenty
years ago.
She said that the greatest book in
the world is the Bible, and the first
missionary works are recorded there.
Lydia was a busy woman, a maker
of dyes, she heard Paul, became in
terested, was baptised and had all her
household believe.
Another early missionary was “The
Woman of Samaria”,-a drawer of wat
er of water; Jesus told her of the
Living Water and she brought all
her friends to sit at His feet.
If the golden rule were practised
life would be full of long suffering,
patience and prayer, but very little
bitterness or fault finding. War would
be ended and labour problems solved.
This world was only lent to us to
live in for a short time and if we are
selfish we will miss the happiness and
the blessings.
A delightful reading, “A Song
About Myself" by John Keates, .was
read by Miss June Buchanan.
The meeting closed with Mrs. Link
later leading in prayer, after which
lunch was served and a pleasant soc
ial hour spent. '
