FAMILY LATHERS ON 96th BIRTHDAY WROXIa3TER Mrs, Robert Me. Michael, Wroxeter's grand old lady, observed her 96th birthday on Sun. day with members of her family and friends. Although she has been confined to Wingham General Hos- pital since December 23, 1961, she is able to get around a little with the aid of a walker and hopes to be home soon. Mrs, McMichael, the former An- nie Strong of near Fordwich. re- tired to Wroxeter with her late husband a number of years ago and since his passing has residt.d with her son, Morley. She has three sons, Lloyd of Toronto, Harvey of Wroxeter and Morley of R.R. 2, The speaker reminded the curt_- firmands that they, ton, had -'been chosen by God, from the time of birth and while they might have made decisions in the past `.rw months to be confirmed, it was not, in fact, their decision, but God's. The congregation had prayed that they might have the strength to carry on the work God has chos en for them to do, Just as a place was left vacant by Judas, so it is in our times. As the builders and workers of our church leave vacancies, those chos- en Li by God must take up the respon- sibilities and carry on. It has been so in the past and will he with fu, ture generations. From the Jewish custom of cast. ing lots, termed kleros in the New Testament, comes the word clergy- man, on whom God's lot has fallen. This is true also in the priesthood of the laiety and so all must go forth and do the work of the church, in whatever capacity they have been chosen, COMMUNION SERVICE MA\ 1 IRECEI 1 EIJ AT ST.
