ANNIVERSARY HELD
BY UNITED CHURCH
Dr, J. C, Cochrane Was The Special
• Preacher
■ Large congregations attended the
United Church on Sunday for the
Anniversary Services. The churchfwas
very attractive for this special accas-
ion decorated with autumn flowers.
The story, pf Joseph, Genesis, 45th
chapter, was the scripture reading
given.by the pastor, Rev. W. A. Bee
croft, The responsive reading was the
65th psalm.
The special speaker was Dr. J. C,
Cochrane, Superintendent of Home
Missions for Northern Ontario. At the
morning service Dr. Cochrane chose
as his subject “God’s Alchemy”, and
his text was the 5th verse of the 45t.h
chapter of Genesis, “Now therefore
be not grieve'd, nor angry with -your
selves, that ye sold me hither; for God
did send me before you to preserve
life,” The chemists of old tried to find
the method of changing baser metals
into gold but failed but God’s Al
chemy was of a different kind as God
•used that which was base to promote
finer. and better things. Speaking of
the story of Joseph he, said that the
selling of Joseph into' .slavery was
turned by God to a very useful and
■better purpose. A death that would
be very shameful was devised in the
olden days, that of putting to death
on a cross, but the Crucifiction of our
Lord in place of being a base thing
turned to be one of the greatest events
in the life and death of Christ. And,
so to-day I am sure the Doctor said
that a cleansing will take place be
cause of this war if we believe in God
and Trust his purpose.
The guest soloist was a former
member. of the choir, Mr. Bruce
Edgar, and it was rather a coincidence
that Mr. A. W. Anderton, choir leader
and organist, who accompanied him
was his first teacher. Mr. Edgar ren
dered beautifully at the morning serv
ice, “Thanks be to God” and “Fear
not O Isreal.’’ At the evening service
he sang, “How beautiful upon the
Mountains” and “The Lord’s Prayer.”
The morning anthem was “.Send out
Thy Light” and at the evening serv
ice the choir sang ‘What are these
that are arrayed in White Robes.”
. Dr. Cochrane continued his morning
theme at the evening service showing
that God still rules the world and
answering a question found in Psalm
43:3, “Where is thy God?” The
Psalms are just as modern as yester
day, for people are still asking that
question. In spite of war and suffer
ing God still rules the universe and
will bring in a better day. After the
service,.. Dr. Cochrane had colored
moving pictures of Northern Ontario
which were both interesting and in
structive. He showed the new mining
towns, springing up in/a few months,
the lumber camps with the tractor re
placing .horses for hauling logs; the
beauty and color of the fall foliage
over the northern lakes; and lastly,
the work which the Church is doing
in all these new centres.
-Sold Fine Horse
^Mr. Clayton Fryfogle has sold his
hdrse Copeland, to Mr. Jim Biggar of
Hamilton. This horse has been shown
all fall at the C. N. E. and other fairs
with great success./
