Bishop Officia te$ At St. Paul's service
Continued iron Page One
sacraments,
Bishop Appleyard pointed
out that Ascension time is one
of the great seasons when men
are ordained into rhe ministry,
He spoke of the men from St.
Paul's who have ?'een ordained,
Rev. Walter Picktord in Windsor,
Rev. James R, Allan in the Dio-
cese of Montreal and Rev. J. A.
Roberts in Victoria, B.C. , all
who are serving with great ef-
fect, Also, only last week Fred
James, son of Ire\-. and Mrs. J.
H. James, a forincr rector here,
was ordained at St.Paul's Cath-
edral in London. He will be
going to Wheatley.
The Bishop said that their
combined ministry would be
less than the 98 years' service
St.Paul's has received from
other rectors, so that the
church is still in the red. It is
the duty of a parish to give its
sons to the ministry.
Speaking of the six young
people who were confirmed the
Bishop said that essentially,
they too, were ordained through
the laying on of hands and the
prayers that the Holy Spirit
will work through them in the
kind of lives they choose for
themselves. "Each person has
a ministry," the Bishop said,
"not just the deacons, priests
and bishops."
Jesus left His apostles to
carry on His ministry on Ascen-
sion Day with the promise that
strength would come. It came
in the form of the Holy Spirit.
The apostles went forward with
expectation, knowing that He
would work through them. The
21 rectors of St.Paul's did the
same and all those who follow
must go forward with expecta-
tion.
The Bishop said that we are
living in a disturbing age, but
it is not new. There has al-
ways been criticism of the
church and the Christian faith,
but today we have ways of be-
ing heard, through newspapers,
radio and television.
Christ accepts us with our
shortcomings. He will work
through the people who dedi-
cate their lives to His service,
The expectation of the apostles
and the clergy and people who
formerly served St. Paul's,
should be the experience of
every person.
The choir anthem was" Send
Out Thy Light", directed by
Mrs. G. L, Davidson.
DEDICATE WINDOWS
The wardens, Elmer Walker
and Norman Deyell, formally
accepted Miss porothe Com,
ber's gift of the two stained
glass windows, with Mr, Walker
reading the address,
The windows complete the
"Faith, Hope and Charity"
theme for which one window
had previously been placed as
a memorial. The subject,
Faith, depicts St. Paul and was
placed in recognition of rectors
and members of the congrega-
tion who have served St. Paul's
since 1867. The Hope window
shows Titus and was placed in
recognition of the present rec-
tor, Rev. C. F. Johnson and his
wife. Mr. Johnson has been the
minister here since 1957,
The bishop dedicated both
windows and spoke of Bishop
Luxton's pleasure in this par-
ticular thought on the part of
DR. JAMES T. CUMMINS
James Cummins received
his Doctor of Dental Surgery
degree at the spring convo-
cation ,of the University of
Toronto. Jim is the son of Mr.
and Mrs. Michael Cummins,
of Wingham, and a graduate
of Wingham District High
School. Dr. Cummins has
opened a private practice in
Galt.—LeRoy Toll.
Miss Comber,
RECEIVES BADGE
Following the dedication
Mr.Johnson spoke of his grati-
fication in the way Edward
Charles Ahara, son of Mr, and
Mrs. Robert Ahara had prepared
for the examinations for his
Religion and Life badge, Bishop
Appleyard made the presenta-
tion and mentioned that he had
rarely had the honor, not be-
cause Scouts are not interested
in religion, but because the
badge is perhaps the most dif-
ficult of all to attain.

was a study of the prayer book,
books of the Bible, the story
and growth of the church, vest-
ments, church government and
five written essays,
