"The Temple is too small" was
the subject of the sermon of Rev.
D. W. Williams at Victoria Street
United Church Sunday evening on
the occasion of the annual church
service of Maitland Lodge A.,F. and
A.M. Many members of the local
lodge attended the church parade
including several from Morning
Star Lodge, Carlow. The masons
paraded from the Masonic Temple
to the church and paraded back
from the service.
Rev. Mr. Williams' text was from
I Kings, 8:27: But will God indeed
dwell on the earth? behold, the
heaven and heaven of heavens can-
not contain thee; how much less
this house that I have builded?
Referring to the temple built
by Solomon, the minister stated
that a temple is symbolic, just as
the spires of churches in towns
are. "Character building in - our
own individual life is a sort of
temple building and we become
the living temple of God," he said.
Rev. Mr. Williams told of a cen-
tury ago when by chance men
came upon the quarry in a vast
cave from which King Solomon
was believed to have taken the
stone to build the temple. There
was no sound of a hammer in the
building of the temple since this
work was all done deep under--
ground which was in keeping with
King Solomon's ideals of silence in
the temple.
lie stressed the necessity in the
building of a new world today to
have a temple big enough for all
humanity to get a hearing for
God. In this regard, Rev. Mr.
Williams referred to what a task
it seemed today to get a hearing
for God even in the United Nations
Assembly.

Lovely June used to mean, in
rural Ontario, the `brides and the
garden parties. -. Of recent, years,
while the brides continued as
numerous and radiant as ever the
garden parties have. become fewer.
Last year, if memory serves,
there were none in the immediate
district. This year—let's hope it's
a trend --there are some.
It would be a shame to have
the old custom die out entirely.
Time was when most churches
had their garden parties. A re-
gal meal in, the apple orchard
would be followed by a program
after dusk. Local politicians would
tell a 'few jokes and then would
come the polished entertainment
of a professional troupe from Tor-
onto. How many of you remember
beloved old Jimmie Fax? .
Perhaps the advent of radio and
the ease with which we heard
the latest songs and the biggest
names 'in the entertainment world
had something to do with the
decline of the garden party. Then
came the war with restrictions on
sugar and meat to make the plan-
ning difficult. The garden party
has been fighting a losing battle.
