The hymn book comes in 10 volumes which can be placed on a special stand, also donated by the United Church Women. A large attendance witnessed the dedication service conducted by Rev. McDonald. Rev. McDonald began a series of Lenten thoughts for his sermon on Pilgrims of the Road, with the first sermon on "The Two Roads that lie Ahead of Us." He said there are two roads that lie before all of us, the one is the low road, the road called self, the road that has left God and others out, the road of selfishness. Th other road is the high road, and even though it be more difficult, it the road of God were the pilgrim is directed and strengthened along the journey of life. This is the time of Lent, a time of self -examination, he said, a time for taking the measure of ourselves against the life of Christ. The two roads lie ahead of us; it is so much easier to follow the easy road, where we evaluate and condemn others than the harder road of self-examination where we compare our life to the life of Christ. The children's story used the same theme. Using a piece of Ironwood which had not been cleaned off, he related it to our lives who are capable of expressing love and who allow that love to be covered up with unpleasant attitudes towards others. The choir sang a lovely anthem which spoke of the love which we find in God. Cecil Pepper greeted the congregation and David and John Rowcliffe were the ushers for the service. The flowers at the front of the church were placed in Loving Memory of Mr. Earl Teffrey, a member of the Chiselhurst Congregation, by his daughters Peggy Ferguson and Erla Soleman.
