St. Andrew’s Jubilee Anniversary The Diamond Jubilee of St. An­ drew's Presbyterian Church, Gorrie, was celebrated on Sabbath last with special services at 11 a.m. and 7.3Q p.m, Good congregations were pres­ ent for both. The pulpit was ably filled by Rev, Samuel Kerr, minister ^of Melville Church, Brussels, who was accorded a good hearing, His text in the morn­ ing was Matt. 28:19, a passage famil­ iarly known as the Great Commission. Christ intended the Gospel to be a universal message. He wanted all people of every colour and type to know of His redeeming love. It was not to be privilege of -a few bnst ajb^B^hg to .mil a»d any attempt to localixe 'it ow--restrict its- ‘spread it contrary to His will. We can not^ex- cuse ourselves for lack of interest in the welfare of others on the .gtoUmj of being too widely separated from- them because the inventions of mod* 'em times make all the- world neaw Time and space have been nearly 1* iminated. An isolation policy is an ab­ surdity in any Christian nation. Christ’s idea was a brotherhood, so much needed in' the world to-day, In a yery real sense, each is his brothers keeper, The Gospel meets a universal need, We may differ in the nature and. extent of our sin, but “All have sin­ ned and come short of the glory of God,” Christ can cleanse and satisfy every human soul. 2 Cor, 6 ;2 was the text of the even­ ing address, “Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation.” Mr. Kerr stressed the urgency of the command and quoted from history to- show how important a sense of time is and how great disasters have result­ ed from a lack of this sense. The pres­ ent is our only time of opportunity He warned his hearers of the tragedy which results from Indecision and ex­ horted them to accept Christ now. Youth is a time of special opportunity to do this for then our-hearts are im­ pressionable. The choir under the leadership of Mrs. L. Neilson with Mrs. F. King at the organ were assisted by Messrs Simpson and Heibein of Molesworth and were warmly congratulated for their efforts. The church looked nice with its profusion of beautiful autumn- flowers.
