ulations and good wishes. ■

BIG CONGREGATIONS
AT ANNIVERSARY
Rev. Kenneth J. Beaton Was Guest
Speaker at United Church Anni
versary Services.
Very large’ congregations, both
morning and evening, attended the
Anniversary Services in Wingham
United Church on Sunday. The spec
ial minister was Rev. Kenneth J. Bea
ton, of Toronto, Secretary for Mis
sionary Education in the United
Church. Mr. Beaton greeted many old
friends, having been raised and taught
school in this district, His two grip
ping messages will be remembered by
all who heard them. At the morning
service, he directed attention to the
“unanswered prayers of Jesus” (1)
“Give us this day our daily bread” is
still unanswered, as millions in the
world to-day, go to bed hungry every
night, even in Canada, many are hun
gry in the midst of plenty. We live
now, in such a closely knit world that
we could make this prayer be answer
ed around the world if we so wished.
(2) “Thy kingdom come,” is yet un
answered because we still have a
world of selfishness and lack of co
operation. (3) “That they all may be
one,” will never be answered so long
as we have so many different denom
inations — over 300 in China ■— which
mystifies n,on-Christian people. With
in the Christian Church there should
be one Lord and one faith.
In his evening subject “Jesus as an
obstacle,” Mr. Beaton referred to
three great ideas in the present civil
ization to which Jesus is an obstacle:
the cheapness of human life, nothing
is so cheap in the world to-day as hu
man life; the narrow nationalism in
the world and the lack of faith in the
ultimate outcome of good. He ap
pealed to the church people to direct
their efforts to overcome these evils.
Mr. Beaton gave many word pictures
from his experiences when he was a
missionary in China, and he was
pleased to meet, in the evening ser
vice, Miss Clare McGowan, of Blyth,
who had been organist of his first
church in China.
Special music by the choir.of forty
voices, _under the leadership of Miss
Tena Reid, was a feature of the occa
sion. Splendid anthems were rendered
at both services with Mrs. G. Mc
Lean and Mrs. Heisler taking the solo
parts. Assisting in the music was the
male quartette from Listowel United
Church, whose four selections were
greatly appreciated. j : t
