SMITH Sports Division Turn off Hwy. 86 at Elma-Grey Townline and follow the signs 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. FUNERAL MRS. EDWIN H. MATTHEWS There passed away on,June 13, 1972 after a short illngss in Toronto General Hospital, Mrs. Edwin H.

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- 6—THE BRUSSELS POST, JUNE 21, 1972
