Bright sunshine greeted
the crowd which gathered
under the maple, spruce and
cedar trees at Port Albert
cemetery for the annual
cemetery service last
Sunday.
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

Directly under the:picture
are the words: 'And Jesus
increased in Wisdom and
Stature'.
