67th ANNIVERSARY OF
TRINITY ANGLICAN
CHURCH, BELGRAVE
For the first time in the history of
the church the choir of Trinity Ang
lican Church, Belgrave,wore the
-traditional garb of the Church of
England, surplices and cassocks, on
-.the occassion of the 67th- Anniver
sary of the Church on' Sunday last.
The ladies wore soft black velvet
..hats which were very becoming.
Miss Alberta McMurray, of Bel
grave,, was soloist at the morning
Service, and the choir sang the an-
•them: “Praise the Lord, for He is
• great and glorious," as the Offertory.
Mrs. R. iM. Weekes took the solo,
Alto and Mr. James McCrea sang the
tenor solo. The obligato parts were
very acceptably tak^n by Mrs. C. W.
Wade and Mrs. N. Geddes.
At this service, a moments silence
was observed as a tribute to the mem
bers who had laboured and worship
ped in Trinity Church, and who nave
■entered into the Paradise of God.
The sermon was preached by the
Rector, the Rev. R. M. ..Weekes. In
Jhis sermon, the Rector pictured the
little group of faithful men and women
■who built Trinity Church that they
.and their children might worship in
freedom. “The Christian Church has
been bought with a price involving
sacrifice and blood-shed, the little
Village Church meant sacrifice and
work for our forefathers. God de
mands our best because He always
.gives the best. We must be willing to
sacrifice and work for this Church,
if it is to prosper and fulfill its Div
ine Commission.” he said.
The Rev. A. C. Calder, LL.B., Rec
tor of St. George’s Church, Goderich,
was the preacher at the evening Ser
vice, and used the Text from Isaiah
55:13: “Instead of the thorns shall
come up the fir tree, and instead of
the-brier, shall come up the myrtle
tree, tie said that every Anniversary
brought Us nearer to the realization
that time was quickly slipping on.
One by one members of the congre
gation were being called away by
death. The young people
gregation must shoulder
sibilities of the Church
more. What the future of
. shall be depends upon the attitude
of the young people.”
Mr. A. Forbes, of Wingham, sang
a very lovely solo, and the choir of
fered the anthem: “O Give thanks un
to the Lord.” The various solo parts
of the anthem were taken by Mr.
•Clark Johnston, Mr. James McCreae,
Air. Cecil Armstrong, Mrs. N. Ged
des, Mrs. C. W. Wade, and the duet
parts were taken by Mrs. Neil Mont
gomery and Mrs. R. M. Weekes. Miss
Nora VanCamp was at the organ for
both Services.
Special Hymns and Prayers were
.used at these services. Beautiful boqu-
•ets of peonies, iris and other garden
flowers enhanced the beauty of

That keen interest was manifest in
the subscription contest which closed
on Saturday night at 9 o’clock, was
clearly demonstrated by the crowd
which gathered in front of the Ad
vance-Times to await the result of the
judges’ decision.
The Dominion Bank kindly allowed
the Advance-Times the use of its
premises from 6 o’clock in the even
ing that the last returns of the cam
paign might be made there. A ballot
box was placed in the bank on Wed.-
nesday and into’this sealed receptacle
the subscription returns were dropped.
The bank was the scene of great ac
tivity as contestants and their friends
made last-minute efforts to advance
their favorites.
Promptly at 9 o’clock the doors of
the bank were closed. The seal on the.
•ballot box was broken and the judges
commenced their work of counting
and auditing the votes. It was very
late when the judges reached their de
cision and the crowds that awaited the
final word of the contest had thinned
out. Many waited, however, until the
decision was given, but the great num
ber of phone calls received was proof
positive that the public were deeply
interested.
The duties of the judges were, found
to be great so the time was longer
than expected to make the count. So,
not until several hours had elapsed,
was the count completed and. the
standing posted at the Dominion
Bank and the Advance-Times.
To the judges we express our heart
felt thanks for a job well done.
