Early summer flowers made a most attractive setting for the celebration. On the communion table rested a large crown. The front, centre pews were reserved for the teachers and primary pupils, each wearing a pansy corsage. The junior choir of approx- imately 20 voices entered the sanctuary to the processional "Sing, sing along," accomp- anied on the organ by Miss Alison Roberts. George Proc- ter, superintendent, conduct- ed the opening sentences assisted by Rev. John G. Roberts. Scripture lessons from 1 Corinthians 13 were read in a very pleasing manner by Alison Coultes arid Patrick Hull. Attendance awards were received as follows: 1st year - Steven. Taylor, Debbie Tay- lor, Kevin Taylor, Mark Coultes; 2nd year - Dean Vincent, Paul Coultes, Steven Coultes; 3rd year - Jennifer Procter, Clifford Coultes; 4th year - Katherine Procter; 6th year - Debbie Hopper; 7th year - Ruth Higgins, Alison Coultes, George Procter; 8th year - Donna Higgins; 10th year - Andrea Coultes. The presentations were made by George Michie and Clifford Coultes assistant superin- tendent. The hymn "When he corneal" was sung, followed by the introduction of the guest speaker, Mrs. Audrey Tiffin of Wingham, by Mrs. G. Ross Anderson. The speaker centred her remarks around jewels. She asked "What is on this table? - a crown. Are there any jewels in it? Who are the jewels in Jesus' crown? Are we as his children fit for Jesus' crown or are we fake jewels?" Persons who are green with envy or ruby-red with anger from an uncon- trolled temper are not true polished emeralds and rubies but fakes. She referred to Proverbs 31. A virtuous woman is to be revered above rubies. She is a real gem. Her work never ceases from early morning until late at night. She keeps herself nice, a gem fit for Jesus' crown. Persons who indulge in smoking and drinking ruin their sparkle. Beauty in the hart illum- inates the soul. Mrs. Tiffin spoke of Salome and the Queen of Sheba. She said "To those to whom much is given; much will be re- quired." God uses the 'weak' to replenish the world. She cited examples as: Milton - blind; Beethoven - deaf; An open house was held on Sunday June 17 for Gordon and Florence Higgins at the Belgrave W.I. hall.

R. #5, Brussels; Mrs. Lila Higgins of Belgrave and Mrs. Marg- aret Kerr of Brussels who Isaac Watts - sickly, but wrote 70 hymns of joy. Saint Paul stated "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." As a concrete example of God's wonders the speaker used a lump of soil which can be transformed to a sparkling diamond. You too, can be so transformed. A shiny brooch, if turned in, has no sparkle. Help others and shine. The poem," Christ has no hands hut our hands to do his work," relayed the message very clearly to the capacity congregation. The ushers were Karen Coultes, Kim McIntosh, Mark Taylor and Howard Roberts. A chicken barbecue, on the Church laCvn followed the service.
