Then, the late Joe "Williams used it for making apple barrels for a J. brief period after which it lay idle again. About half a century ago Robert and Alex Megaw operated it as a cooperage shop.

DON'T DO IT Vandalism is playing havoc with the rockarden being renovated by the Goderich Horticultural Society on Har- bor Hill. Many flowers plant- ed in this rock garden on the side of the dill leading down to the harbor have been pick- ed, presumably by youngsters, although some adults might also be guilty. Parents are urged to warn their children not to pick these flowers. The youngsters are doing definite damage to a project of the Horticultural "Society which adds up to considerable time and expense. must follow the Lord's way of life. Obedience "The keynote of the Lord's life of service was obedience," said Bishop Townshend. "Yet, the thing that most impressed people on this earth about Christ was His originality. To 'be obedient is the first duty of every Christian— not trying to be original. Be big endugh to be just yourself—no matter what line of work you may follow in this life—and listen to God's word for guidance in the service he has in mind for you to do for Him." "Always seek, young people, to learn the will of God and then do it—whatever the cost may be," he stated, quoting the words of the hymn, "Breathe on' me, breath of God" as an example. e "Put out of your lives everything that prevents you from showing who you are and wham you serve. In this Christian warfare` you'll find many discouragements, set- backs and disappointments. I have experienced them myself thruugh- life. But Christ knows of these for they are part of His plan," he said, "At Calvary, everyone thought that Christ had failed," said Bishop Townshend, who went on to show the success attained in the world by Christianity. "Christian- ity's success was attained by a man who was once thought a failure," said Bishop Townshend. "One thing that is vital is that we persist, that we refuse to quit. At a time in your life when you think you are doing nothing you could be doing mast for Christ," said Bishop Townshend, who paid tribute to his mother for instilling into him as a boy the importance of persistence.- - 0 0 . _4Ng - ANNIVERSARY MAY 27 Mrs. Ha;ie'zvoad was hostess to the ladies of the Baptist Senior Mission Circle in the Sunday School room of the church for the May meeting The president, Mrs. Raithby, presided and Mrs. Wilson was pianist.
