BLUEVALE — The fall Thank -
offering meeting of the W.M.S.
was held in the church Tuesday
evening of last week. Mrs. Glenn
Golley opened the meeting with
the call to worship, and "I to The
Hills" was sung. Mrs. Golley wel-
comed the visitors from Gorrie
WMS and Bluevale UCW.
The scripture and the medita-
tion, "Thanksgiving", were given
by Mrs. Keith Moffatt, after
which she offered prayer. The
audience was favored by two
solos, "Bless This House" and
"Fill My Cup Lord" by Paul
Moffatt of Bluevalq.
After a short business period,
offering was received by Mrs.
Gordon Mundell and Mrs. Harvey
Robertson and dedicated by Mrs.
Galley.
Mrs. Golley introduced the,
guest speaker, Captain Bruce
Hardy, Wingham Salvation Army
Citadel.
Captain Hardy spoke on his
work with The Salvation Army
and related the many problems of
the world today to solutions found
from verses he quoted from
scripture. The keen incentive
that drew him to work with fhe
Army was his work with under-
privileged children in British
Columbia, his home province. .it
was a most challenging and satis-
fying task.
Salvation Army work is chang-
Mg very rapidly because of
changing times. They have. to
change their approach because•of
the different types of . problems.
Captain Hardy was stationed 'in
Thunder Bay before coming' to
Wingham, where his main job
was, working with drug addicts.
Three major problems facing
society today are drug addicts,
astrology and witchcraft. These

to the root of them. Throw away
these crutches and the answers
are in the scripture. He stated our
physical surroundings are so
strong to most of us, even when
created in God'simage, but
empty spiritually unless God is in
us.
Mrs. William Elston thanked
Captain Hardy and presented
him with a gift in appreciation.
After the hymn, "0 Lamb of God
Still Keep Me", the Lord's
Prayer was repeated in unison. A
social hour followed ' and lunch

These words from the beloved
songs of David, the Psalms, were
the basis of Thanksgiving wor-
ship services in town churches as
people paused froth their duties
to be grateful for the many bene-
fits which are provided by a
Heavenly `Father.
In all the churches, displays of
autumn greenery, flowers, fruits
and vegetables added to the
atmosphere as people, grateful
for a bountiful harvest and the
good life which- is ours, gathered
for worship.
In' the Salvation Army Citadel,
the display of fruits, vegetables
and homemade preserves was
auctioned on Monday evening,
proceeds going toward mission-
ary work. A floral arrangement
was also in the church, in
memory of Horace Aitchison,
placed by Mrs. Aitchison and her
family. Jeut. and Mrs. Hardy
spoke at both services and speci-
al guest musicians were present
from Thunder Bay.
Pastor Ron Baker, speaking at
the Penecostal Tabernacle, used
several different passages of
scripture to instil in his congre-
gation a gratitude for all the
benefits of life.
Rev. R. H. Armstrong of St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Church,
used the story of the ten lepers as
his guide when he stressed thank-
fulness. In the story, Jesus healed
ten lepers but only one returned
to give thanks. "For the Fruits of
His . Creation". was the name of
the senior choir anthemv ,.with
Gordon Leggatt taking a solo
part.
Next Sunday, , the 19th, that
congregation will observe its
113th anniversary with services
at 11 and 7:30 and Rev. D. Mac-
Donald as guest speaker:
"We have much to thank God
for", was the sentiment ex-
pressed by Pastor Ross Smith of
the Baptist Church who, since his
arrival a few months ago has
seen fotir experience salvation,
six become baptized and 15 new
members added to the church
roll.
Pastor Smith spoke of our
gratitude becoming an outgoing,
out -reaching action. He spoke of
the early Corinthian church as
being an ungiving church, this in
turnm leadingto other problems.
Showing concern for the lost and
compassion for others, were
ways in which the church's role
could become real, he felt, and
this benevolent, compassionate
attitude would solve other prob-
lems. Mrs. Smith of Cambridge
1 -was the guest soloist and was ac-
companied by Mrs. Eric Cleave.
For the singing of the hymns,
Miss Sylvia MacLean was pianist
and Mrs. Raymond Neill organ-
ist. Mrs. Neill and Mrs. Glenn
Scheifele were in charge of the
impressive Thanksgiving dis-
play.
At the evening service, Pastor
Smith continued his study of
Revelation. Tom Shore led the
serviceand Mrs. Smith swig an-
other 10 loastorAto

Martin Baan, representing the
Gideons of Canada, spoke at the
morning worship serrice in St.
Paul's Anglican Church. Rev. T.
K. Hawthorn led the congre-
gation in worship. Doug Richard-
son read the first lesson and Don
Farnell led in the State Prayers.
Next Sunday is Laymen's Sunday
at St. Paul's. Don Farnell will be
the speaker and the service will
be conducted by Doug Richard-
son and Harry Brydges.
Mrs. Barry Simpson and Mrs.
Jack Walker were in charge . of
the harvest display, signifying
The Bread of Life, at the morning
worship service in the United
Church. In his sermon, Rev.
Barry Passmore spoke on" the
words from the Lord's Prayer,
"Give us this day our daily
bread." He said this prayer is
often not relevant for those of us
who have plenty to eat, rather, he
said we should pray for the Bread
of Life, which is ours in Jesus
Christ who 'alone can give life
abundant and everlasting.
The senior choir sang a
"Prayer of Thanksgiving",
accompanied by Hap Swatridge
on the organ.
For all denominations, it was a
day of grateful remembrance, all
too brief a time to remember
blessings which are ours year
round but appreciated a little
more on Thanksgiving Day.

AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY, the Wingham Methodist Church looked like this, fhe
simplicity of the white interior providing an uplifting release from the outside world. The
main church sanctuary was built in 1874 and the gallery added about four years later to
accommodate the growing congregation. In 1892 the building was enlarged, furnaces in-
stalled and electric lighting added, as, shown on the left and right of the picture. This
building was used by the congregation until Are erection of the 20th Century Church In
1901. A dramatic play, telling the history of the early Wingham Methodist Church, will be
presented as the evening anniversary service in the United Church on October 26.
