At Knox Presbyterian' church on Sunday congregations at morning and evening services had the pleasure of hearing Rev. james.Cameron urdoch, of Sparta, Ilil., who preached in the absence of Rev. D. J. Lane, who is on holidays. M. Murdoch, son of an Ashfield • township family, spoke delightalally of his visit to the land of his parents and told of visiting his greatuncle, Rod- erick Douglas, aged ninety, in Huron township, Bruce county, on Saturday. He aleo recalled visiting his grand- father in Ashtield many years ago, and spoke of the devotional life in the homes of that early day. Mr. Mur- doch's father Was John Murdoch. At the morning service on Sunday Mr. Murdoch based his sermon on the llth chapter of Hebrews. Foer things happen to mosteef as, he said. They are to he born, to come to yearS, to be tested and tried, and to die; but if this were all, life would not be worth liv- ing. -If 'we add 'faith' to our living it makes alt the difference in the world," 'aid the speaker. Ile read the 23rd verse of the chap- ter: "By faith Moses when he wag born was hid three.months by hie par- ents." "The king of Egypt at that time was the Hitler of today," he said. "He Intended to stamp out the Jews, and he sent out a decree that all baby boys of three months should be put to death. The parents of Moses, how- ever. felt that their boy had a- work to do, and by their faith Moses was saved for his task." Mr. Murdoeh told of others with the same idea of slaughtering the Jews. Darius cast Denied into the lions' den, but God closed the mouths of the lions; Nebuchadnezzar cast them into a fiery furnaee, but they emerged un- scathed; Haman planned' to m ,ssaere the Jews, but he was hanged on the 13 „ill., 144' built for another. -Down through the years this per - 1 f454 been earried on," Mr. Murdoch 1" 'Intel! out, "but 'God has oVerruled the will of men and is able to do the sante again." mien Moes 1114' tO years he chose the eta of suffering rather than a life of f.a,4, as the son of Pharoah's daugh- tel. So must we choose our way of fife. The way of•sln often may seem the easier way, though if we choose to he tested and tried in God' a way, If we have faith in Mtn, we ahall be' more than conquerors through Illm. At the morning service IVIiss Ger- trude linist sang "Building for Eter- ta nay," and at the evening serviee, when Mr. Murdoch gave a thought-provoking talk on the theme of the second com- tee of ,(1-ir1st, speetal Music was pro- vided by a quartette. Miss Mary Mac- Kay, Mrs. Keith Revell, Mr. Floyd Lodge and Mr. Glen Lodge, singing 'Jesus, I Am Resting."

Rev. i r. Cowherd agreed to have the organ 'removed. It was the first. time to seventy -flee years a church rule that states there be no instrumental music in church worship had been brotken. The rule was made just three-quarters of a cen- tury ago. The organ in the Goderich church must be removed before Sep- tember 15. Defending installation of the organ some time ago, Mr. Cowherd told the board the congregation demanded it or they would break wit,h the Free Metho- dist body. (However, he said, he was of the opinion that the removal of the organ, following the board's action, would be satisfaetory in the light that the case had been given ,full considera- tion. The Goderich pastor had in- stalled the organ, too, as a "test case." The rule he was testing is found 'In chapter 3, section 2, paragraph 8, of the churrh constitution, which states: "In no ease let there be instrumental music or choir singing in churches."
