Phone 887-9487 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 17 tables at euchre Eleven tables were in play at the weekly euchre which was held in the Women’s Institute Hall, Bel­ grave on April 8. Winners were: high lady, Mrs. Gertrude Allan; novelty lady, Mrs. Florence Black; low lady, Mrs. Eva E. Wawanosh history committee elected 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. Your dollars cover more ground with High Quality ....
