GORRIE PRESBYTER
IAN CHURCH HELD
ITS ANNIVERSARY
St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church,
Gorrie, celebrated its 55th anniversary
on Sunday last, October 8th, by spec
ial services \at 11 a.m. and 7.30 p.m.
Pink, maUve and white asters made a
timely decoration and inspiring music
was provided by the choir led by Mrs.
L. Neilson. Those present were priv
ileged to listen to two .very earnest
addresses delivered by the newly-in
ducted minister of the church, Rev.
R. C. Acheson, late of Vancouver, B.
C. In the morning fcejdealt with the
subject “The Value of Worship,” bas
ing his remarks on 1 Chron, 22:5.
The instinct for worship has befell a
feature of men in all ages ahd a place
for that purpose seemed always a ne
cessity. This need was met success
fully by the altar, the tabernacle, the
temple, the local church. The real test
of a church’s value is the spiritual
life of its members and their steal for
the salvatiou of others.

He cleanses it. Hence the church
should be subject to Him, love Him
and serve Him. People should not
worry about the church as the real
church cannot fail. Just as we should
not judge any work of art until it is
completed, so we should not judge
the church until the day of its com
pleteness when He will “present it
unto Himself a glorious church not
having spot nor wrinkle nor any

CORNED-BEEF HASH
2 cups chopped corn beef {
2 cups cooked potatoes
Vs cup milk or water
2 tablespoons butter or fat
Salt and papper
Mix beef and potatoes together
lightly and season. Pour the milk in
to a frying pan with half the fat and^
when this is warm, turn in the hashK
spreading it evenly and placing the
rest of the fat, cut in pieces, on the
top. Cover the pan and place it
where the hash will cook slowly for
half an hour. There should then be
a rich, thick crust on the bottom. Do
not stir the hash. Fold it as an om
elet is folded and place it on a warm
platter. This slow process of heat
ing the hash gives it a flavor than can
not be obtained by hurried cooking.
