Anniversary, Flower Service GORRIE- The annual Sunda;_: School anniversary and flower service was held in the United Church Sunday. The church was tastefully decorated with evergreens, ferns, and baskets of lilacs and tulips, Everywhere the eye was drawn by the har- mony o' nature's panorama of color and beauty. "Faith" was the theme chos- en for this year's service, and the various symbols portraying the expressions of faith were artistically interwoven into the floral decorations. The win- dows carried the message of the shield of faith, and the cross as the basis of faith. The simple trusting faith of a child was illustrated very realisti- cally by a life-size model of a child standing near a beautiful white church, obviously on her way to Sunday School. A piano and organ prelude, with Miss Carol Robinson at the organ and Miss Lynda John- son at the piano, preceded the floral procession of the junior and primary members of the Sunday School, each carrying a spray of lilac and making a living picture at the front of the sanctuary. Little Barbara Mann opened the service with the call to worship and the junior choir sang an anthem "Faith Can Move Mountains". A poem, "God's Loving Hand", by Michael Grainger was followed by the primary and beginners singing in chorus, "Jesus Loves Me". The Scripture, from He- brews 11, examples of faith, was recited by Keith Adams, Kevin Hastie, Keith Galbraith, Carl Koster, Brian Robinson and Julie Fairies. Music by the Bell Ringers from Wingham added greatly to the service and was followed by a reading by Joyce Hamilton "Have Faith in God", which was repeated in an anthem by the junior choir. Susan Carson recited a poem, "God Cares for You", and the congregation joined in the hymn, "All Things Bright and Beautiful", while the children took their places in the seats reserved for them. Larry Hutchison gave the of- fertory prayer, and the Bell Ringers favored with "How Great Thou Art", very effec- tively. Rev. F. W. Taylor wel- comed Rev. W.J. V, Buchanan of St. David's Church, Hamil- ton, back to the pulpit which he had occupied previously for six years, and expressed the pleasure of the congregation in having him as guest speaker for the occasion. Rev. Buchanan chose his text from Jeremiah 18:1-6, He pointed out that while outward- ly many things may change, it is this element of instability that gives rise to faith, "The substance of things hoped for and yet unseen". The darker the circumstances, the more brightly faith shines, 1'sing the illustration of the vessel that was marred in the hands of the potter and reshaped to net, beauty, he explained that faith brings forth the courage to rise from failure and reshape our destiny. "Faith is that shining Ihin:; that leads on, o'er crag and stone, o'er moore and fen until the day is done". In the evening an informal fireside service was held under the direction of Rev, F, W. Tay- lor, after which Rev. Buchanan showed colored slides of a re- cent trip to Ireland. A social hour was spent renewing old acquaintances. It is difficult to find words to adequately describe this an- nual service, but the church filled to capacity is evidence that the efforts of the children, and the Sunday School staff is deeply appreciated and keenly anticipated, Vernon Barlow Dies in Hospital GORRIE-Vernon Lord Barlow, 67, of Gorrie, died Saturday in Listowel Memorial Hospital.
