First in the mixed two -ball Ordination Sunday was the theme used to commence the first of four special services observing 1962 as the Centennial year of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The Rev. John Congrarn arid the Rev. Peter McKague returned to their home church for the service of ordination last Thurs.:lay eve- ning. These two men entered the pulpit on Sunday to speak out coe- cerning their criticism end their hope for the Church of Jesus Christ. John Congram spoke at the! morning service of the problems and errors that afflict the Church or Christ today, Peter McKague spoke on the theme of Christian indacation as being basic to a re- vovery of the mission of the church. At the evening service Peter spoke as to those features of hielifo that _ . . ing him into the Ch ristian mi nis- try. John spoke on the same theme. Of interest to the congre- gation was the similarity in the "call" to the ministry. The call / was brought about by the influence of a Christian home, Christian friends and a Godly pastor's in- ! fluency in both cases. The congregation of St, Andrew's was most appreciative of the op- portunity to hear these two men speaking on t h es e particular themes, "The Church in Her Fail- ure and Her Future" and the in- fluences that led them into the Christian ministry.

Croreey of Kincer. dine, Moderator of Huron -Maitland Presbytery, conducted service in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Thursday evenirg when John 0, Congrarn and Peter D. McKague were ordained into the ministry. Rev. G. L, Fish of Wingham and Rev. Douglas 0. Fry of Seaforth assisted in the service. The choir, under the direction of Harold Victor Pym, sang the an- them, "Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow." Mr. Fish gave the sermon, the theme of which was "Heralds of God". Be said it was a happy oc. rasion to have two men from St. Andrew's being -ordained at the same time. He also said that it was a humbling experience for him, fresh from college, to preach before former classmates who were pre- sent for the ordination, and be- fore these two young men about to enter the ministry. The text was Romans 10:14-15 in which he interpreted' "preacher" as "herald". "How are they to be- lieve in whom they have not heard? How shall they heat' without a herald? How can there be heralds unless sent by God?" Mr. Fish said there are few true atheists, but the men who occupy the pulpits Must bring the people to a belief in Someone, rather than some thing. It is a duty to bring men into recognition that God was in Christ, The world is lost without Christ. When we realize and know His power and love, we wish thai. all others had Him, too. Mr. Fish said we could thank God for the press, through which we are able to pre. sent the printed word, giving us the Bible and other religious litera- ture, Radio and television are &S.) great agents at our .riisposal for spreading the Gospel. but God still sees that the Word is spread through human breath. All of as must, be heralds and great oppor tunity is set at our doonsteps, and the world at large, that through our witnessing, they, in turn may go out as heralds. The speaker said we need more heralds, who, without doubt of fear will present the message and wel- come all to receive the invitation of God to come and dine. The ordinands then took their places before the Moderator, who conducted the Order of Ordination 1 to the Holy Ministry and performed ! the laying on of hands, Members of the Presbytery, ministers and 1 elders, gathered to extend the right hand of fellowship, Delivers Charge 1 "Like myeself, you are home again," was Rev. Douglas Fry's opening statement to the ondinands. ! "Here we grew up in the COM- , munity and the congregation, from childhood to manhood, and now I stand in this church ordained." ! Mr. -Fry said that the prayers, , thoughts and -best wishes of the 1 large gathering of families, friends I and neighbors, would go with the 1 newly -ordained ministers in their 1 work, as they had in their studies He reminded them that as mini- sters they stood on the threshold of their "calling", and that they 1 must always think of it in that way. He said he could not speak • from the wisdom of long years of experience, as it was only four years in he himself was ordain- ed, but he addressed them as a 1 brother and a friend. ! Mr. Fry mentioned several places ' in the Bible where Peter and John of the early church had been to- gether in their ministry. He sug- gested that when they became tried and troubled in their work, I that they read the Book of Acts, chapters 3 and 4, to -remind them- selves that their namesakes were also troubled, bat were victorious 1 in the way of the Lord. The Bible must be the source of GI FT TO HOSPITAL—Peter Norman presents R. B.

'kee, • knowledge, the speaker said "Spend time with it, feed souls 011 its promises and rejoice in its 0105. sage of hope." Mr. Fry said re. sources of spiritual insight can be depleted and run dry, unless con- stantly replenished, A minister must remember that his people are human, like him- self, with the same potentialities for good and evil. He will witness their tragedies, temptations, weak- nesses, pleasures, happiness and joys, and will sometimes find them, hard to love, Every ounce of Moral, mental. and spiritual fibre is need- ed to be a man of God in the midst of people. The constant drain must be renewed and Mr. Fry told the new ministers that they will meet with God behind the doors of their studies. Greates Temptation 'One of the greatest temptations is to become a 'man about town'. The easiest thing in the world is to be seen and heard at dinners, gatherings and service clubs, as head table guests and as 'one of the boys', and yet fail to shine in the pulpit. You mist distinguish between what people expect from you and what -God expects of you," said Rev. Fry. He also reminded the young men that a minister could find personal. devotions difficult: The daily deal- ing with sacred things and an cation .which demands questions, may sometimes cause doubt to creep in. You realize your limita, tions in prayer. A minister may come from private devotions 'M- ing all the more need for Gad, and more eager to serve. "It is easy to be with your people when the sun is shining and all is well," the speaker stated, "but it is more difficult when they are 'sweptby- thb. Ictorrrig-br and faith is tested to the breaking point. Your profession calls pat to be with your people in' sorrow. sickness and death, and yam must go to them even when you are weary," Mr. Fry ended his discouree with the challenge, "Go to your study; go to your God and go to your people in this calling in which you share, and serve your Master well." Reception Followed A reception was heLd in the twee. rnent of the church following the service, when light refreshment:; were served by the Ladies' Aid.
