Last Sabbath was the opening day of the Jubilee services of Knox Church. and nothing could have been more auspicious. Weather was delightful, congregations large and appreciative, singing uplifting and the two sermons by Rev. Dr. Dey, Simcoe, Ont., were strong, well directed and specially suited to the times. His morning theme was "Christian Citizenship" from the text "Our citizenship is in heaven," Phil. 3-20. Discourse was full of encouragement to those heaven- ward bound. Dr. Dey spoke in the evening on "God's controversy with the Nations", teaching many les- sons an the great European war. Jeremiah 25 and 31 was the Scriptural foundation of the address. It was certainly a splendid sermon, coveriug a wide scope very effectively which will not soon be forgotten. The pastor, Rev. J. L. McCulloch, as- sisted in the services. Although it is 42 years since Dr. Dey spent 0 months in charge of Oranbrook and Ethel he was glad to meet a number of former parishioners and they were equally well pleased to find him so hale and hearty after his strenuous pastorate of over 40 years at Simcoe, which he resigned this year. A fuller reference with portrait will be given in next week's issue of THE POST. Next Sunday Rev. D. B. McRae, Kincardine, pastor here for past 88 years, will occupy the pulpit at both cervices and address the gathering Monday evening, Mrs. J. W. Joynt, Lucknow, will sing morning and evening and large congregations are looked for to greet their old. friend, Rev. Mr. McRae. Monday evening's Fowl Supper and program following will no doubt prove a strong magnet to the people of the surrounding country as a grand finale to the Jubilee of the congregn- tion. BERET. J.
