Knox United holds children's .service BELGRAVE — Seventeen members of the children's choir of Knox United Church rendered the anthem "Joy Is 'Like the Rain", very en- thusiastically before accupy- ing the centre front pews Where they were joined by all toddlers of the congregation. Mrs. George Procter, organist, accompanied the choir. 'Rev. John G. Roberts intro- duced his message by revealing the legend of a song 'Join Your Hands and Sing' which a 60 -voice Welsh girls' choir had presented in Lon- don, Ontario, recently. According to the legend, a man climbed to the summit of a mountain to survey the world. Only dark clouds could be seen; but noises of worldly arguing and jangling were heard below. Soon hundreds of children joined hands at the mountain base and sang. Suddenly the clouds disappeared, the bickering ceased;:- -all was peace and joy. Sg,with us, our troubles disappear with the sound of singing. To continue his discourse the minister referred to St. Paul, a devout Jew, who con- demned Christians and assisted in their persecution and death, but was instantly converted to a courageous, effective follower of Jesus. If Paul had not been an effective messenger of the. Christian faith, the enemies would not have bothered to search for him. The same truth exists today, we must be effective, courageous Chris- tians to receive recognition. LLL meeting La Leche League Belgrave held a meeting on 'Nutrition and Weaning' with a large number of mothers attending from as far away as Goderich and Ripley.
