The Reverend Robert Crocker; rector of Christ Anglican Church, Port Albert, conducted the ser- ', vice. In his opening remarks, he spoke from the 8th Chapter of Romans. Archbishop ( retired) James Watten of Moosenee, now of Southampton,in his address, said we worshop the God of life, not death. Walter Tigert of Goderich, a former organist at Christ Church, provided music from his portable organ for the old familiar hymns which were on the service's program. Window d Dedication In a brief ceremony on Sunday, Archbishop Watten dedicated the Hawkins window in Christ Church. It is interesting to note that Archbishop Watten is related to the Hawkins family. The window depicts Jesus as a boy in the carpenter's shop with his parents, Joseph and Mary. It would appear that Joseph is looking up at a piece of wood while Mary .is in conversation with Jesus. The inscription on the window says: 'In the memory of John Hawkins (18034863) and his wife Elizabeth Robotham (1803- 1874) 'of County Down, Ireland. Given by their Port ATbrt news Tom Livingstone, corresondent 529-7645 descendants on the 150th anniversary of their arrival in Canada.'
