CHURCH NEWS
SERVICE AT
The dawning of Easter Sunday in
the United Church, was marked by
the sunrise service at 7.30 a.m., con
ducted by the Young People's, under
the leadership of Miss Mildred Thorn
ton. Jim Shynkar reiterated the story
of the Resurrection, as written by
Cynthia Pearl Maus, in a very im
pressive manner. Prayer was offered
by Jim Johnson, the girls' choir led
in the singing and a duet was beauti
fully rendered by Misses Helen Haines
and Marlene MacKenzie.
Communion was conducted by the
minister, Rev. D. J. MacRae. At the
conclusion of the service, breakfast
was served in the S. S. auditorium by
the ladies of the Women’s Associat
ion.
The regular morning service of wor
ship was largely attended and was
commenced with the senior choir's
rendition of the anthem, “Joy Fills
the Morning”—Lotti. The Easter
music was much enjoyed under the
splendid leadership pf A. D. Bennett.
Mrs. J. McKnighf sang very sweetly
“The Easter Hymn” by Bach.
For his Easter sermon Mr. MacRae
spoke on the subject, “The Easter AJ «
ternative” and chose his text from
1 Corinthians 15-17, “And if Christ be
not raised, ypur faith is vain.” In this
inspiring sermon, Mr. MacRae pointed
out that our Christian faith is not
blind credulity, it is based on the fact
that Jesus Christ rose from the dead
on that first Easter morning. It
shows us, not that He lived but that
He lives, in the hearts of men, If
Christ be not risen, our faith in the
power of God would not exist.
The minister brought out that the
Easter alternative bids us face a sec
ond consequence: If Christ be not
risen—, "Ye are yet in your sins.” If
Jesus’ blood was not shed to cleanse
men's sins and if He did not rise to
give them new life, then the fact re
mains that men are yet in their sins.
He further pointed out that if Christ
be not raised, then they who are fallen
asleep in Christ are perished and that
life would then end in death. “Because
He lives I too shall live”, is the theme
of that great solo “I Know That My
Redeemer Liveth”, which is the ans
wer to the question, “Is He Risen For
You?” You ask me how I know He
Lives? He lives within my heart.
At the evening service the junior
choir inspired the congregation with
their Easter messages in song. Mr.
MacRae’s sermon for the evening was
given on the theme, “On the Wrong
Side of Easter,” from the text, John
20-21, “Then were the disciples glad
when they saw the Lord,” First, Holy
Saturday in the Upper Room. What a
depth of despair is there. Not only de
spair, but shame for Peter. As Christ
ians are we not ashamed, too, of our
betrayal of Christ? But look again
into the upper room twenty-four hours
later. It is the same room, but it can’t
be the same men. Their faces are shin
ing now. There is an air of exhilar-
tion; everything is changed. Their des
olation and forsakeness God has taken
away and filled them with the living
presence of Him who is alive forever
more.
May the glad dawn
Of Easter morn
Bring joy to thee.
May the calm eve
Of Easter, leave
A peace divine with thee.
May Easter night
On thine heart write
“O Christ, I live for Thee”.

EASTER SERVICE AT
ST. PAUL’S CHURCH
Easter services at St. Paul’s Angli
can Church centred around the Sacra
ment of Holy Communion. First to
receive the sacrament were the Angli
can patients in the Wingham General
Hospital who made their communion
prior to seven o’clock. The first ser
vice in the church was the quiet com
munion.
At 11 a.m. the traditional festival
service of morning prayer and holy
communion was held. In his sermon
to the large congregation the rector,
the Rev. H. L. Parker, stressed the
three facts which the service pro
claimed; that Jesus Christ was risen
from the dead; that every true Chris
tian, because of his possession of
Jesus, must also possess the victory
that Jesus won so that resurrection to
eternal life lie ahea,d for those who
have accepted Christ as Saviour; and
when Christ is risen within a person
the individual seeks "those things
which are above, not on the earth.
The anthem at the morning service
was "Hail Festal Day”.
A good congregation of parents and
children attended the family service
at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. During
this service the boys and girls pre
sented their Lenten mite boxes with
their gifts for the missionary work of
the church particularly the support of
David Yellowhorse, the Indian boy
on the Old Sim Reserve, whom the
Church School of St Paul’s has adopt
ed. The Junior Auxiliary formed the
choir and sang as their anthem, “Re
joice, the Lord Is King”.
The services closed with Easter
Evensong at 7 p.m. During this week
the Anglican parishioners who are
sick and shutin will receive their
Easter communion in their homes.
