Miss P. Johns Plans Beautiful Setting
For Inspiring Service at United Church
On -Sunday morning Rev. T. G.
FIRST WAR VETERAN Nasser, minister of Wingham Un-
ited Church, welcomed the many
friends and visitors who had, once
again, come-from far and near to
share in the Sunday School anni-
versary and flower Sunday. This
is a joyous service of youth and
beauty 'and reminds us that the.
God of law and order is also the
God of beauty and love.
As people approached the church
large baskets of -flowers extended a
welcome and prepared them for
the beautiful floral setting inside.
Singing birds also lent their music
to the scene, White and purple
lilacs-with colored tulips provided
the colour scheme.
The theme for the clay was
"Launch Out for Christ", and was
built around the idea of expressing
the great power of prayer in our
lives, The program as well as all
decorations pointed to the devel-
Opment of this subject,
To stiggest the sending out of a
prayer, a launching base for a
rocket, surrounded with a white
fence, had been erected at the front
of the church, The rocket had
just been dispatched and was high
in the air trailing its lights be-
hind. This base represented our
homes, those from which we come
and from which we send our child-
ren, as the launching base
must be strong, true and accurate,
so must our homes have a firm
Christian foundation from which
the children are sent out to face
life. On the organ screen, held by
wearing pansy corsages. Children of the Sunday School carried bou-
quets of flowers which were presented tend placed at the front of the

Anniversary at

WHITF.,CHURC.:1-1 - Calvin-Brick
United Church was prettily dec-
orated with great bouquets of white
and mauve lilac and tulips on Sun-
day for anniversary services. In the
morning Rev. H. Anderson, pastor
of the church, conducted the ser-
vice and introduced the special
speaker, 'Mrs. (Rev.) Jackson, of
Atwood, with a children's choir
rendering special anthems and Miss
Claire Chamney at the organ.
In the evening Mrs. Jackson
again led in an inspiring service.
The choir rendered a special an-

sang, "How Great Thou Art."
Splendid crowds attended bole
morning and evening services.
large brackets of white lilacs, were
two directional aerials which guide
the course of the missile. These
depict the people who direct the
course of our children, adults, S.S
teachers and day school teachers
Prayers must he expressed befort
they can be answered, prayer with-
out action is useless, We must .be
willing to do our part with God':
help and trust. Him for guidance.
In order to keep our lives right,
we must be constantly in touch
with the source of power. This
Idea was depicted by a large !floral
globe of white lilacs on a purple
base, containing a radar tracking
device which can tell when a
rocket leaves the ground, what
route it follows and its position at
any time. This globe is likened to
our friends and relatives who fol-
low our progress with interest anti
stand ready to help if we get off
the course.
The pillars of the gallery were
fashioned into hydro Doles, com-
plete with floral ciossarms, lighted
insulators arid connecting wires,
which showed the ability to convey
power from the source to any
needed point. So, in our lives,
God stands as a power plant, ready
to send us power to carry on
through sunshine and shower. Sus-
pended throughout the church were
rainbow-colored, diamond-shaped
mobiles, which prevent the rocket
from running into trouble, teaching
us that with God's help, we can
stay straight on our course.
Holding the central place in the
decoration scheme and in front of
the pulpit was a large floral open
Bible, fashioned of white lilacs and
held on a purple standard, Here
is the greatest guide of all. We
can look to this Book for leader-
ship, encouragement and consola-
tion, nod there we will find the
answer to any problem facing a
little child or a grown adult.
To complete the setting, as one
looked up, above the choir loft.
were the words of the text, "Launch
Out for Christ", boldly outlined in
large red letters on a. backgroun;
of white lilacs. Tints, the whole
scheme of decoration established
the truth that calmest prayer sent
out with a direction of faith and
sincerity will reach God and will
be answered in His good time.
The' processional was led by the
Junior Choir in their white gowns
wearing pansy corsages, follower
-by members of the Sunday School
marrying bouquets of flowers. These
were received and placed around
the front of the church against a
background of greenery -by six
senior girls, Brenda MacLennan,
Sandra Cameron, Patsy Shackleton,
Kathleen Hodgins, Anne Jouwsma
and Peggy Ahara. The invocation
was given by Ruth Bennett and
suitable passages of Scripture were
recited by Brad Elliott, Mark
Fisher, Billy Strong and Paul
Templeman. T w o recitations,
"How Nice to -Know", by Vichi Ro-
senhagen • and "The Power of
Prayer", by Pamela Burns were
much_ enjoyed. Bobby Sha,unessy
gave the prayer following the of-
fering.
The music was under the direc-
tion of A, D. Bennett, organist and
choirmaster, who led the choir In
the anthem, "Youth of the World,
Arise". Judy Callan and Bonnie
Jardin sang the duet, "God Who
Touched the Earth with Beauty".
As an added musical attraction
the -congregation was pleased to
hear the Brass Quintette, young
men from Hanover. They are a
part of the Hanover Brass Band,
and played the two selections,
"What a Friend We Have in Jesus"
and "Stand up for Jesus",
Russel Zurbrigg, superintendent
of the Sunday School, presided at
the service and thanked all those
who had spent long hours of time
end skill in the preparation, par-
...innerly Miss Phyllis Johns, whose
ingenuity and untiring effort laid
the whole foundation, Tharke was
also extended to the mechanics
:rom radio station CKNX, who no-
sisted in setting up the radar pro-
jects, and who loaned verial
equipment, microphones. etc., for
the occasion. Also mentioned were
the many people who sent flowers
and other decorations.
After tire pastoral prayer Mr.
Musser introduced the very wet-
come guest speaker, Lloyd Hutton,
of Kincardine, a former superin-
tendent of this Sunday School, Mr.
Hutton followed the theme of - the
clay and explained to the children
the meaning of each floral emblem,
He linked each one with our oner
lives and emphasized that the pew-
Pr of prayer guides us to the end.
Mr. Hutton held the attention of

ieets to illustrate his talk. Of
special interest was his showing of
