A large gathering of worshippers
was in attendance at Knox Presby-
terian Church. on Sunday evening to
pay tribute to this, town's seafaring
men at the annual Mariner's Ser`;iee'..
Rev. Richard Stewvart Conducted- the
service, leading the congregation in
prayer, for the safety of the- marine
men. Rev} Stewart delivered a very
fitting address to the men, choosing as
his text the -Words of Jesus Christ.
"Lannteh Out Into the Deep," Luke 5:4.
MuSice approp late to the occasion
was beautiffuull f ren0ed by a full
choir. Included among the selections
were "0 God, Our Help in Ages ]Nast,"
"Evening and 'Morning,". "Brightly
Beams Ourt 'Father's Merey,"„ "Peace
Be Still" and "Jesus Saviour, Pilot
Me."
The altar was fittingly decorated
with beautifully constructed models of
ships, and ax miniature, lighthouse ,with
flowers,. adorned the pulpit and altar
of the church. .One model of •a five:.

who, l edT attended many times before.
Otis"'`'b'a'rds of . \veleome he included_
all' ;in' ' the community eel/) have- ase
sociations` in any: -Way with. the marine
industry. Rev. Stewart- spoke highly
of the cordial reception. given him
when 'he visited the ships -at the harbor
this spring. It had been one of the
happiest experiences of his duties hi
Goderich.
Ile expressed the thought that sea
men were close to God because of
their relationship with the elements
in the course of their duty. As a
• supplement to his text; "Launch Ou

gested :Try ages " As Jesus had long

"There was an, added Meaning to

close to shores" .-
"There are shores',,,,,,'
in the lives of all
of us, when after •heartbreaking dis-
appointments, we are apt to give up
but •the. fishermen did not—they
heeded the words• of Christ."
"It, was •not in shallow water.that

either. Ott into the deep. °musC we

:• "There •are those of you with us

-.You have been associated with those

to live courageously in- the faith ,of

and trust in God."
