Moderator Ordains Two Young Men
At Ceremony Held In Knox Church
With the laying on of hands and
the offering of the right hand .f
fellowship. two young men were
ordained into the aniniatry of Jesus
Christ at an impressive ceremony
held here last Friday night at
Knox Presbyterian Church.
Both members of the congre.ga•
tion of Knox Church, Robert Bisset
and Alexander S. MacDonald knelt
before Rev; Ja R. MacDonald, of
Ripley, Moderator of the Presby-
tery of Huron -Maitland, and other,.
ministers of the Presbytery after
taking their vows of ordination.
As the ministers laid their hands
on the heads of the two young
men, the Moderator ordained them
into the :ministry. Then the Mod-
erator and the ministeeeeand other
members of the' Presbytery extend-
ed the right hand of fellowship to
welcome.them into the service of
their Lord.
The ordination cere;nony with
its ancient rites, was held near
the close of the special service.
Prove Selves
Following the ceremony, Rev. R.
G. 'MacMillan, minister of Knox
Church charged the two men to
prove themselves by their own`
dedication that they are amebas-
sadors of the Lord.
"You are ministers of the Lord
Jesus Christ," Mr. MacMillan said.
"He is tli King of th.e Church and
of your lives: He called you to
take up your cross and follow
Him."
He told them that he would
leave with them three words. "The
first • word is diligence," he said.
"This task of the ministry will de-
mand all your time and all your'
energy. The second word is love.
Above all, you must learn to love
your neighbor as yourself. Love
inen who hate you. The 'third
word is• patience Try to under-
stand that your enthusiasm is not
always shared by others Nor .is
the work of God entirely in your
hands. Be patient, for your faith
w i11 `be sorely tried."
,,•Guest preacher at the service
was a former minister of Knox
Church, Rei. Richard Stewart, now
minister of New St. James Presby-
terian Church; London.
"I am deeply grateful and reap
ale the responsibility that falls
upon me," 'Mr. Stewart said.
Not Churchless
Taking as his theme, "The Build-
ing up of the Body of Christ," Mr.
Stewart said it was important for
everyone to note thatthen New
Testament knows nothing of a
churchless Christianity. "Yet some
blase people. today would suggest
that God can be worshipped --better
elsewhere than in the church.
Here in this community on Sun-
days , in the sumimee, there are
thousands at the dock 'and at
beaches 'and they claim they are
closer to God.. than those worship-
ping him in church."
He said that as a matter of
history, this viewpoint had no justi-
fication whatsoever, "Church I
Membership is a cpnstituent of
Christianity,' Mr. Stewart said.
"True FrotestLbtism knows noth-
ing of an individual Christianity.
Churchlnanship is not a matter of
personal taste. Chr=istianity and
cburchrnanship do not exist in
separation."
Mr. Stewart. told the congrega-
tion that Jestls Christ came among
Hien not solely to save individual
souls, but to build up a redeemed
society. `Yf only we could regain
some of the passion of the Apos-
tolic Church. People are too ready
•tobelittle the church. I think we
are all guilty of it."
He said that it wee easy for
people to become self-righteous
and selfish. "We' need to subord-
inate ourselves to ''the love, light
and spirit of Jesus Christ. Fellow-
ship' would be richer if we were
subordinate to Christ -petty jeal-
ousies would disappear," he said.
Fulfill Function
"The church is the creation of
Christ -it is not our creation. His
body is the church in the world,"
Mr. Stewart said. "The church is
a conemenity of believing servants.
It is your duty and mine to de-
termine what is ourfunction he
this body of Christ and then fulfill
it. Let our relationship with the
church be such that we realize
Christ loved the world , and gave
his life for it."
'Participating in the service were
Rev. D. J. Lane, of Clinton, a form-
er minister of Knox Church, and
Rev. Alexander Nimmo, Wingham,
recently -elected Moderator of the
Synod of Hamilton and London.
A large congregation witnessed
the ordination. and the offering
was part of a substantial gift pre-
sented to the two new ministers
at a receptiori held after the ser-
vice in the Lecture Hall.
Rev. Bisset, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Bisset, of .Goderich, has
been appointed to serve at Three
Hills, Alberta, for hot less than
one year. Rev. McDonald has
been accepted by the Presbyterian
Church's mission board for service
outside of Canada on a mission
field. ...Both men are to graduate
from Presbyterian College, Mon-
treal, this year.
At the reception, refreshments
were served as a gift from the
Ladies' Aid.
Miss Lorna Pratt, president of
the CGIT on -,behalf of the WMS,,
Arthur Circle, choir andGGIT,
presented each bf the two min-
isters with communion sets and a
book. A cheque for $500 to -each
of the men, tire gifts of members
'and friends of Knox Church, was
presented by A. H. Erskine, church
treasurer. Bryan Ainslie, on be-
half of the Men's Club presented
each one with a cheque for. $100.
A wrist watch for each minister
and a necklace of pearls for their
wives, were presented by George
Schaefer and Alex Alexander on

CRASHING AGE BARRIER
As aeroplanes approach the speed
,o4 sound -about 1200 uniloweters
per hoar- -they hit he "sound bar-
rier." Travel within this range
Of speeds is stormy, the planes
rock and shake, buffeted by air
vibrations. At higher velocities,
/however, smooth flight is again
possible....
Recent studies indicate that the
"soundbarrier" has its counter-
part in sthe human body. Accord-
ing to one researcher, our bodies
reach an "age . barrier" when we
get to be 60 years old. Between
60 and 75, the physician declares,
many of the body's gradual aging
processes cease; the breakdown of
certain tissues and organs' stops,
and is actually supplanted by a
period of renewed growth. Most
of us die before reaching this "age
barrier," or while we are going
through it. But if we , manage to
survive it, the physician notes,
there is smooth sailing ahead -the
chances of living to 100 are good.

An Ounce of Prevention -It is
unfortunate but it is true that fo
almost every useful plant we have
in Canada there is some bug, die
ease, or worm which seems to have
a special grudge against it•. But
a little protection provided in time
will save them.
Generally speaking, the -Neer
best protection 'against all these
pests is flourishing health. If the
garden is free of weeds, well cul-
tivated and growing, there is little
risk except from some special in-
sect or disease. But if there are
a lot of weeds, if our flowers or
vegetable plants are crowded to-
gether and growth spindly and.
weak, then we are simply asking
for trouble, and even a mild at-
tack from passing bugs -can cause
a lot of trouble. The first rnle,
then, in protection is to keep the
garden clean and Vowing.
Know Your Enemy As for
special pests, one should provide
himself with' a good bulletin so
that any trouble can be identified
and the proper dust or spray ap-
plied, It is not a bad idea to take
your troubles to. the nearest seed
store! and. let the experts _there

they can have a good, garden and
have it this season too. Even
those who rent and move every
few years can also have an excel-
lent showing. In these cases, of
course, we rely on annual flowers
rather than perennials which must
get established. And, it .is amaz-
ing what can be done with annuals
exclusively. We can get vines,
that will cover a porch in a matter
of weeks, things like scarlet -runner
beans, the modern and vastly im-
proved morning glories. Or we
can use window boxes filled with
trailing nasturtiums, and eemi-1 petunias, Marigolds and
zinnias,

others that are listed in any Can-

growers reach two to four feet
