TDefwyh D.* Jones7 the guesfTpreacher at the services of Harvest ’Thanks­ giving held last Sunday in St. Paul’s Anglican Church. In his morning sermon Mr. Jones, who has just returned from West­ minster Abbey, London, England, stressed the fact that unless we set aside definite times for prayer and thanksgiving, we fail to bring into concrete form the vague feelings we have concerning God and His good­ ness. The traditional Harvest Thanksgiv­ ing services began with Holy Commun­ ion at 8.30 a.m. At 11 a.m. the service of morning prayer was conducted by the Rector, Rev. H. L. Parker. The senior choir, under the direction of William M. Connell, organist and choirmaster, sang the anthem, “Fear Not O Land”, by C. Simper. At the evening service, conducted by the Rector, Mr. Jones took the theme of St. Michael’s and All Angels (Sept. 29th), pointing out how angels play an important part in Holy Scrip­ ture. Not only do we express our i thanksgiving on one day in the year, but each time we enter the Sacrament of the Holy Communion we join with the “angels and archangels and all the hosts of Heaven” to laud and praise God. The newly-formed junior choir un­ der Mr. Connell’s direction, formed the choir for the evening service and sang as their anthem, “All Things Bright and Beautiful”. The material thankofferings of grain, vegetables, fruit and flowers were used by the Altar Guild to de­ corate the church in the traditional way of Harvest Thanksgiving. The people of St. Paul’s were pleased to welcome as their guests at the evening service the clergy and mem­ bers of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and. Wingham United Church. Appointed to Post In Seaforth Church Alan D. Bennett, who for the past five years has been organist at the United Church in Wingham, has been appointed director of music in First Presbyterian Church, Seaforth. He commenced his duties on September 12th. Mr. Bennett and his family will continue to live in Wingham. ONE RESIGNATION IN FIRE DEPARTMENT The regular monthly meeting of the Wingham Fire Department was held on Monday evening, September 27th. It was decided to insure the furnish­ ings and contents of the hall. The pur­ chase of a T.V. set for entertainment was passed. Wilf. Caslick who has resigned from the brigade, came up for’ much dis­ cussion, the feeling being that as secretary-treasurer and an active member that he would be really a loss to the brigade. The resignation was finally accepted (temporarily it is hoped) with much reluctance. Two new members were accepted by the brigade, subject to approval by the town council, Roy de Groot and Jack Orvis. During fire prevention week it was ” decided that business establishments on the main street would be inspected for potential hazards. Wingham has been very fortunate in not having many major fires and this is a pre­ ventative measure. Much of the good fortune in not having fires is due to the co-operation and realization of town citizens of the loss and incon­ venience of fire. Officers and committees appointed for the year 1955 were: Chief, J. Carr; deputy chief, D. Crothers; cap­ tains, H. Aitcheson, A. Seli; secretary- treas., S. Cowan; police, M. Swanson; reporter, p.
