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. ' / “ROSE MARIE” AT LYCEUM I 1 11 ifJ $ r■t.
