Communion celebrated
on Palm Sunday
Lawrence Taylor honoured on birthday
A prelude of Easter selections
was presented by Mrs. George
Procter, organist, Sunday morning
at Knox United Church. Several
Easter lilies in full bloom added to
the inspirational celebration of the
Lord’s Supper and Palm Sunday.
The large choir chose “Come,
Holy Spirit’’ as its anthem with
organ accompaniment.
Theservicewasconducted by
the Rev. John G. Roberts who
based his remarks on John 12:
12-19 ending with the words
“Look, the whole world is follow
ing Him!”
Palm Sunday and the Sacrament
of the Lord’s Supper hold special
significance, the entry into Jerusa-
lem was one of three symbolic
events which was to tell the
disciples something.
The events were: the entry into
Jerusalem; the overturning of the
tables in the temple; and the Last
Supper. The events were symbolic
announcements of the coming of
God.
The Entry announced the com
ing of a Kingdom and a King. It is
legitimate to assume that every

age has a kingdom and a King.
How do you think of a kingdom? Is
it in a sense of belonging?
demanding? forming a cultural
background as the Welsh felstival
held in Toronto will do? Faith is
morethanDo’sandDon’ts. Itis
loyalty and allegiance. Loyalty
impinges on our lives; but allegi
ance comes first. Allegiance to God
may impinge on our loyalty to our
family. Loyalty to God must come
first; particularly on Palm Sunday.
A Canadian citizen declares
loyalty and allegiance to his Queen
and country without compunction.
The Last Supper, too, was
deliberately done. All expected a
great banquet. The significant
fact is that we participate. The
mystery is the blood and body of
the Lord. By participation, each of
us says “I belong, I am a subject of
the King so I bear responsibility to
the King”.
“It is a personal responsibility, a
commitment to the great King.”
Each expects to become a Cana
dian subject only once, but will
repeat his allegiance to his King
over and over as he partakes of the
Sacrament.

A volunteer committee met for
the second time last Thursday to tie
up seme loose ends in the
preliminary planning of the pro
posed East Wawanosh history
book before adjourning for a
summer of research.
About35 people from all parts of
the township met at the township
hall to elect an executive and to
plan the general direction the
project will take. The book is
planned for debut at the East
Wawanosh Sesquicentennial in
1992, the first update since the
centennial history was published
in 1967.
Members of the committee will
undertake to visit every family in
the township throughout the sum
mer, to determine which would be
interested in contributing their
own family history to the project.
From this information, the final
format of the book will be decided
once the committee meets again in
the fall.
As well, the committee will use
the summer months to investigate
provincial funding through a “New
Horizons” grant, money which has
been used to underwrite similar
projects in many other communi
ties.
Robert Charter was elected to
chair the history book committee,
while Marie Toll was elected
president of the New Horizons
committee, with Edith Vincent
named as vice-president and Mar
ian Hallahan as secretary. The
group is tentatively scheduled to
meet again October 28.
