TOUCH OF BRASS LATEST BILLY (6K:CHAM FILM RELEASE DEDICATE HOLY TRINITY Rev. J. James Composes Hymn for Church Service Members of St. Paul's Anglican Church and friends of Rev. 3. 11, James, a former rector, will bee interested to learn that Holy Trinity Church was dedicated on Friday evening of last week in London. Rev, and Mrs, James have been organizing a congregation in the subdivision of Glencairn Woods since the fall of 1959, Mr. and Mrs. James moved to London from Seaforth. While in that town Mr. James devoted a great deal of effort to the Huron Church Camp at Bayfield, where he personally built cottages at the site and improved the camp grounds. The building dedicated on Friday night will at future date be the parish hall, but until money is available to erect a church, will be used as a house of worship. The parish has had a humble beginning. In July 1959 the children of families in the sub- division met for Sunday School in the garage of the rectory, which was being built by the church of St. John the Divine, in London. Mr. James, the incumbent, was called and ac- cepted, and with his wife and family moved into the new rectory in September of that year. He had been holding church services in the garage a month earlier and then carried on with services in the recrea- tion room in the basement of the rectory, which had been fitted out as a chapel. The congregation grew and in a short time had overgrown the improvised chapel. A near- by school was rented for wor- ship service and it was not un- til June 1960 that the first sod was turned for the parish hall, the first building on the Holy Trinity site. The labour was largely supplied by members of the congregation and Rev. James contributed untold hours of work, leadership and knowledge throughout. A year later the first service was held in the un- finished building. It was still another year, June 1962, before the outside stonework was begun. As a hobby Rev. James had some years ago become proficient in the laying -up of stone and Holy Trinity is a fine example of his skill. The edifice was dedicated by Bishop G. N. Luxton, in a very moving ceremony when the rector and the bishop carried out the service from the font, the chancel steps, the lectern, the prayer desks, pulpit, from the midst of the choir, the place for receiving the offerings of the people and tl, attar, dedi- cating each to the glory of God, The act of self-drdtcation by the congregation followed. The hymn Ixfore the sermon, sung to the tune of a well- known hymn in Anglican chur- ches, was writtt hN. Mr, James for the occasion, with words as follows: King of Kings, sing, Lord of all Eternity, Seek we now Thy gracious bless- ing On this Temple huilt for Thee; Hearts and hands have labored truly, Setting stone and steel in place, Fabric of devotion, duly Lifting tribute to Thy Grace. Cheerfully the hammer sounded Patient toil and friendship gay, Mingled with a faith undaunted Raising slowly, day by day, Strong and simple in their beauty Walls and rafters, windows clear, Compassing our pledge of duty To Thy Church's witness here. May Thine own Eternal Guiding Here, within this House, hold sway; In Thy Love, each soul abiding, Find the Wonder of Thy Way: Held enthralled by hallowed silence, Joining now Thy people's praise, Feeling,here, Thine own for- giveness, Boldly meet the passing days. all Love posses - Here let children, to Thee given, Nurtured in Thy loving care, Find the friendliness of heaven, All its warmth and wonder share; Let them know the Good, the Holy, Let their laughter, rich and free, Rise o'er human sin and folly ' Till its gladdening comes to Thee. Here may youth and age, em- bracing Thine own Will and Truth for all, With their strength and wisdom, gracing, Face the challenge of Christ's Call; Follow Him with hearts unfailing Through the testing of the years, 'Till beyond, Thy Grace prevail- ing, Golden dawning heaven ap- pears.

Bill Young Gave First Red Hots To Young Reds Mr. 13111 Young of Harriston, operator of the Crown theatre, the drive-in theatre and the highway restaurant in that town, and well known here from these activities, plus his time spent as driver for one of Norwell High School busses, gained a measure of fame this past week. Four University of Moscow science students en route to the Douglas Point nuclear power station had their first taste of hot-dogs when they stopped at Bill's way -side stand. The quartette, Gury Mitjaen, Vikta Tidpreukus, Len Kotchetun and Alexander Frolod, said through an interpreter that they had heard of them but never had a taste before. Bill Young took them on a tour of his theatre, and the visiting students signed his guest book. --Palmerston Observer. Making Survey of Maitland Valley This month the Ontario De- partment of Lands and Forests commenced the conservation survey on the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority.

The Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority has request- ed the Conservation Authorities Branch to make this survey to assess existing conservation pro- blems in the watershed. From observations made during the survey the Branch will make recommendations designed to correct these problems. Field men of the survey par- ties will be travelling in depart- ment vehicles to all roads of the watershed, and will also be found on foot in the watershed's woodlots, fields and streams. The Department of Lands and Forests would appreciate the co-operation of everyone in the watershed in helping its field men with their work.
