Church, Belgrave, for the service
June 4.
Mrs. George Procter, organist,
presented a prelude of sacred num-
kers and also accompanied the
choir as they sang "Savior Lead
Me."
RevJohn G. Roberts, who con-
ducted the service, announced his
pleasure in welcoming Mr. and
Mrs. George Carter, former mem-
bers of Calvin -Brick charge, into
Belgrave Knox United membership.
They were received with the bless-
ing of the elders and the hearty
hand clasp of the minister.
The congregation stood to
acknowledge its acceptance and
pleasure in receiving the two Bel -
grave residents as members of the
church.
Mr. Roberts read Scripture pas-
sages, John 19: 17-30. He centred his
remarks on "When Jesus therefore
received the vinegar, he said 'it is
finished;' and he bowed his head,
and gave up the ghost."
These were Jesus° final words.
These words have been used as a.
basis of previous sermons delivered
by the minister. He, although retir-

ing from the ministry, is not fin-
ished with preaching. They are
forceful words, not just a mere
statement, Mr. Roberts noted.
Preaching may be ended, but not
finished. It may be compared to
woodwork which is constructed,
then must be finished by coatings
of varnish. Finishing is the hard
part. Words may be ended, but
must be completed. Jesus° pilgrim-
age was completed, finished. Ours
may be completed; but maybe not
ended.
Often man's pilgrimage is side-
tracked or hesitant, by not living up
to his possibilities. There may be
gaps between what we ought to
have done and what we did. But by
the grace of God the gap will be
filled by faith, grace and love. To do
better is our goal Our challenge is
to fill the gaps in the work which
we have started.
Finally, Mr. Roberts pointed out,
the cost must be paid when the bill
is rendered, whether it is in failure,
fear or uncertainty. Often, he said,
we fail to pay the full price. Jesus°
cost, however, was paid in full.
The cross demonstrates the
length to which a single man went
to touch our souls and spirits.
Only Jesus could say "It is fin-
ished."
