Honor long time minister on.
occasion of 90th birthday
A special, reco,41tio service
for Rev. .1. pre Stewart of Sea-
terth was held Sunday night in
Northside United Church by the
HurOn-Perth Presbytery to
Celebrate and honour him on his
90th birthday. The service also
marked the 65th anniversary of
his ordination on April 30, 1972.
More than 300 guests attended
the service and reception later in
the church sch001reorn. Included
among these were almost all the
clergy and their wives in the
Huron-Perth Presbytery, as well
as many friends from the various
charges where Mr. Stewart has
served over the years, and the
places where he has served as
Supply minister since his formal
retirement.
Taking part in the service
were Rev. J. A. Mowatt of Wes-
ley Willis Church in Clinton,
and Rev. F. M. Faist, Stratford,
chairman of the Presbytery and
president-elect of London Con-
ference of the United Church.
Mr. Faist also acted as master
of ceremonies at the fellowship
hour following the service.
In his sermon, Dr, Mowatt
said Mr. Stewart has been a
forceful preacher and still
preaches with amazing power.
Although Mr. Stewart has
retired, he is still preaching
actively as a supply minister
throughout this area. Mr. Faist
said that the secret of Mr.
Stewart's life is the way he
translated thanksgiving into
thanksliving—a person who is
grateful has found a way of in-
volving himself with others, and
he can never repay what others
have done for him.
Mr. Stewart said he had re-
ceived over 160 cards and letters.

PATTING DOG GUIDES
ENDANGERS BLIND MASTERS
Public interference is the
greatest difficulty blind people
with dog guides encounter.
The Canadian National Ins-
titute for the Blind points out
that anyone who takes hold of
or distracts either the dog or
its master creates confusion and
possible danger for the blind
person. The guide dog is res-
ponsible for a human life. It
is trained to avoid obstacles
and low-hanging objects such as
awnings and tree limbs.
A master learns to judge
movement of taffic by ear and
at the appropriate time com-
mands his dog, “Forward."
The dog will not move until it
is saf 'e to do so.
More than 56,000 Canadians
have pledged their eyes through
the Eye Bank of Canada. Already
5600 donor eyes have been used
in corneal transplant operations,
restoring sight to thousands of
people:
Among these were letters of con-
gratulations and best wishes from
Robert McKinley; M.P.; from
Rev. Clinton A. Brittain of
Orillia, who was best man at his
marriage to the former Laura
Mole Workman in 1961; from
Rev. G L. Royal of Goderich
and the Session of Knox Presby-
terian Church of Goderich, in
which congregation as a boy and
young man he was raised so far
as his spiritual life was con-
cerned.
At the social hour words of
greeting were received from Rev.
Angus MacKay, just retired as a
missionary of the Presbyterian
Church in India, and who, as a boy,
was received into membership of
the Whitechurch Presbyterian
Church, where Mr. Stewart was
the minister from 1913 to 1918.
Other letters read were from
the official board of Mount Forest
United Church charge and from
the session of Napier Pres-
