JUBILEE SERVICES
St. Andrew's, Molesworth
Sunday. June 21st, was a red letter
day in the history of St. Andrew's
church, when very inspiring and im-
pressive Jubilee services were held.
Splendid congregations assembled
both morning and evening and
listened with interest and profit to
two strong practical sermons de-
livered by Rev. D. C. McGregor, M.
A. Associate Secretary of the newly
amalgamated Board of Home Mis-
sions and Social Service and Evange-
lism. Mr. McGregor is a man of
strong personality and deep con-
viction and is a strong preacher.
His message to the people who heard
him last Sabbath will not soon ,be
forgotten.
Oct the platform and taking part in
the service with Mr. McGregor were
the pastor, Rev. T. A. Bell, B. A., and
Rev. J. W. Bell M. A. pastor emeritus
of Kew Beach Presbyterian church,
Toronto and a former pastor of
Listowel and Molesworth. Although
Mr. Bell's pastorate dates back to the
year 1868 time seems to have dealt
gently with him and he still retains
his powers to a remarkable degree.
A feature of the morning service
was the service of praise when the
organ and choir were dispensed with
and the singing was led by Geo.
Brown, a former preceutor. The
congregational singing of the Psalms
and Paraphrases was hearty and
many expressions of appreciation of
this part of the service were heard.
Congregation was fortunate in hav-
ing the assistance of Waiter C. Mc-
Cutcheon, baritone of St, Andrew's
church, London, who sang with great
acceptance at both services. Miss
Hermiston, of iListowel, also sang at
the evening service and her singing
was much appreciated. With the
able assistance given by the choir of
the church the Song service in.con-
nection with the Jubilee on Sunday
was of a high order.
The services were continued Mon-
day afternoon and evening. In the
afternoon a very enjoyable reunion
was held. Church was well filled
with members, former .members and
friends. The service began with .
singing "0 1 God of Bethel" ; the
28rd Psalm was read by the pastor
and Rev. A. B. Dobson, of Fordwich,
led in prayer.
Addresses of a reminiscent and
inspirational character were given by
Rev. J. W. Bell, Toronto Rev. D. B.
McRae, Aemow; Rev. A, B. Dobson,
Fordwich. Music was furnished by
d
the choir an by D. Strachan, James-
town.
town. All of the selectione..were in
keeping with the occasion and were
appreciated by those present.
By the time the meeting in the
church was over the ladies had sup-
per ready in the school room and a
busy three hours were spent in pro-
viding the inner needs of the crowd.
Too much praise cannot be given the
ladies for the excellent tables that
were set and for the very efficient
way in which they served the hun-
dreds who sat down to the feast that
was provided. The time between
supper and the: opening of the even-
ing meeting was one of, the most
enjoyable parts of the Jubilee as it
afforded an opportunity for the
people to meet and renew old friend-
ships and recall the scenes and :events
of clays gone by.
At 8 o'clock the church was filled
toits capacity when the following
program was given, . the pastor Rev.
T. A. Bell, acting as Chairman, Each

ceived and several eneot'ss were de-
