66th ANNIVERSARY
SERVICES, TRINITY
CHURCH, BELGRAVE
For sixty-six years, Trinity Church,
Belgrave, has served the Church of
England people in the community.
On Sunday last, June 26th, a crowd
of happy people met once again to
offer thanks to God for the great ben
efits bestowed in the past, to honor
the memory of the founders of the
historic Church, and to rededicate
themselves anew to the great cause
of Christ and His Church.
The music of the two Anniversary
Services, which were under the ■dir
ection of Miss Nora VanCamp, Org
anist, was of a very high order. At
the morning service, the choir sang
the age-old Chant, “Te De.um Laud-
amus,” the Church’s hymn of Thanks
giving. The “Jubilate” and the “Ven-
ite” also struck a note of thanksgiv
ing. During the Offertory, the an
them “O, for a thousand tongues to
sing my great Redeemer’s praise,”
was sung very effectively. The dou
ble duet in the anthem was taken by
Mrs. Wm. Brydges and Mrs. Marks,
soprano,..and Mrs. C. Wade and Mrs.
N. Geddes, alto; Mrs. R. M. Weeks
and Mrs. N. Montgomery sang the
single duet. Mr. James McCrae off
ered a beautiful solo “Nearer my God,
to Thee”. Special hymns and prayers
were also used at this service.
•Those who had worked and wor
shipped in Trinity Church, and who
were now in Paradise, were especially
remembered by a moment’s silence
which was broken by the consoling
words of the prayer: “Requiescat in
Peace,” after which the congregation
and choir joined in the hymn “For all
the saints who from' their labours
rest.”
The rector, the Rev. R. M. Weekes,
preached the sermon, taking as his
subject- “Adventurers for God.” He
said that the pioneers were adventur
ers for God. They built this Church
that we, their children, might wor
ship in it. They built in faith believ
ing that we too would be faithful to
the cause which was so near to their
hearts
The Rev. Dr. H. P. D. Hurford,
Rector of St. Thomas’ Church, Sea
forth, was the preacher at the even
ing service. He based his remarks on
the words of the Psalmist: “Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and forget not all
His benefits.” He pointed out that
many of the blessings which God be
stows upon us are very often taken
for granted. The blessings of home,
of health, of loved ones, and of the
Church, were some which were fre
quently overlooked. He urged his
hearers to “forget not all His Bene
fits” but to render thanks to Al
mighty God, giving Him the honour
due unto His Name.
Mr. Stanley Sibthorpe, of Blyth,
was the guest soloist at this service,
offering the solo, “Anchored 'Fast.”
He was accompanied at the organ by
Miss Louise Herrington also of Blyth.
The anthem sung by the choir was
“Praise the Lord.” Mrs. R. |M.
Weekes and Mr. James McCrae took
the solo parts in the anthem. The ob
ligato was sung by Mrs. C. Wade and
Mrs. N, Geddes. “The Magnificat”
was sung to a beautiful setting, and
the “Nunc Dimittis” was also sung
very effectively.
The First Lesson was read by the
Rev. J. B. Townend, Pastor of the
Belgrave United Church. Beautiful
bouquets of pink and white chryan-
themums, with tall spikes of blue del
ph'inium with roses, enhanced the
beauty of the Sanctuary and Chancel.
Those from a distance attending
these services were: Mr. and Mrs.
George Hunter and son, Earl, of Sas
kat^hewan; Misses Lizzie and Rachel
McCurdy, of Wingham, and a broth
er, Mr. George McCurdy, of Saskatch
ewan, and Mrs. Louis Hayes, of Ilyr
ia, Ohio, These were all former mem
bers of Trinity Church, Belgrave.
The congregation of Trinity Church
look back to the past years with
thanksgiving, and to the future with
faith, resolving to work and worship
faithfully*, passing on to future gen
Orations something of the glorious
heritage that the founders of this
Church have bequeathed to them.

YOUNG LIFE
CUT SHORT IN
TRAGIC MANNER
The community was saddened on
Saturday morning on learning of the
tragic death of Helen Louise, daugh
ter of Mr. and lylrs.. Wm. E. Ham
mond. Helen in company with
Louise Dore, and William Sturdy,
was seriously burned on Wednesday
afternoon when the automobile in
which they were riding took fire in
front of the Creamery at Bluevale.
All three were riding in the front
sqat of the car when the tragic ac
cident occurred. The other two
were fortunate enough to gain free
dom through the door on the driver's
side, and ran around and opened the
the other door allowing Helen to get
free, when she ran to the Creamery
in flames. The workmen there quick
ly extinguished the flames, but not
before she had been terribly burned.
She was rushed to the Wingham
Hospital where everything was done
to relieve her suffering, and for
awhile it was thought that she«would
recover, but complications set in, re
sulting from her burns, causing her
death early Saturday morning.
Helen, who was in her 17th year
was very popular especially in all
young people’s activities, being a
member of the Canadian Girls’ in
Training and St. Andrews Presby
terian church.
Following a private service at the
home of her parents, on Carling Ter

public service was held in St. An
drews Presbyterian Church at 2.30
and was largely attended. The ser
vice at the church was conducted by
her minister, Rev. Kenneth MacLean,
who very sympathetically and feeling
ly spoke for the youth of today, he
was assisted by Rev. J. F. Anderson
of the United church, who read the
beautifully story of the daughter of
Jairus as found in the 5th chapter of
St. Mark. A quartet of girls sang “I
Come to the Garden Alone,” and Mrs.
Kennedy sang the beautiful solo,
“There is no Night in Heaven.”
Her girl chums of the C.G.I.T.
formed a guard of honor from the
the church and the boys of the High
School acted as flower bearers. The
floral tributes were many showing the
esteem in which she was held. The
pallbearers were Kenneth Johnson,
Will. Sturdy, John Lamb, Jim Lee,
Roy Dark and John Fraser. Inter
ment was made in Wingham ceme
tery.
Besides her sorrowing parents she
is survived by two brothers and a
sister, AhXjn and Ralph at home and
Mrs. G. H. (Dorothy) (McTavish of
