Paul Ross and the assembly followed by the chorus We Praise thee O God. The children were invited to the front and drew a collection plate from the mystery bag. They gave some interesting answers to its use. Rev. Ross asked them to remain for a special presentation. Marjorie McDougall, Maurice Bean and Elva Armstrong came to the front. Mrs. McDougall had been the church treasurer for the past 34 years. Mr. Bean thanked her for her excellent work and Mrs. Armstrong presented her with a gift. Mrs. McDougall thanked them and announced that Mrs. K. Empey was the new treasurer. Hearty applause was given for this occasion. Rev. Ross gave scripture from Luke 24. The disciples would not believe that Christ had risen until He dined with them and broke bread. He continued with Acts 2. Peter preached, gave directions on doctrine, prayers and fellowship. Then in Peter 1 he said to believe in God for he is holy. The sermon was on "What's the Point?" In this world there are wars and poverty. "What do we do?" Rev. Ross asked. The point is that there must be more love and fellowship in this world. Improvement in life must grow. This is God's world and somehow throughout the countries it must be cherished. Graham Worsell then gave a special message, the speech that has won him a contest place in New York City this summer.
