Mr. Taylor also exhorted the member's to keep the church in the community, as it in- fluences the life of the people more than we often realize. A solo was sung by Pete Postill, accompanied by the organist, Mildred McAsh. Julie Armstrong also sang, accompanying herself on the guitar. Members of the Varna Sunday School con-. tributed a number, too. Following, the service, Bill Taylor, a member of Varna session, gave a short address of ap- preciation for the Taylors' service here, and good wishes for their future.Marjorie Hayter of Goshen gave a . reading "Friends". An autographed quilt, containing the names of over 200 people of Varna cnurch and community, and with a painting of the church in the centre, was presented by Joyce Dowson on behalf of the church members.

Easter devotions were given by Helen Taylor, Ruth .Johnston and Doris Wilson. Shirley Hill read the minutes of the previous meeting and Margaret Hayter gave the treasurer's report.
