Doreen Pick introduced the guest speaker, Rev. John Anderson of New Zealand. Rev. Anderson was born in Africa of white parents and received his education in Central. Africa. He com- pleted his Theologian degree in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Andersons are with the Presbyterian Church in New Zealand and have four teenage children. He has been in Canada as an exchange "minister at Fullerton for nearly a year and will be returning to their charge in July. The family has enjoyed being in Canada and visiting in many parts of the country and the United States. The Rev. Anderson chose as his theme "The age of the Shrug". He feels Canadian churches have a greater say in the country affairs than in New Zealand and as Christians we must stand up and be heard by taking part and making important decisions in country's and world affairs. Rev. Anderson left us all with much to think about. Norma Grigg thanked the Rev. Anderson and wished the family a safe journey home to New Zealand. Rev. Norman Pick pronounced the benediction. Ont.
