ST. PAUL'S CHH
A large congregation assembled on
Sunday, morning last to hear Rt. Rev,
Bishop Williams, of Huron and to take
part in the solemn service of cont-
lunation. In his practical but roue -
big address on Heb. 12- 1 and 2. the
Bishop said that here the Christian
life was described as a race,'which
wasquitedifferent
from a:walk
or
a stroll, A race implied putting
forth all one's energy and staving a
cielinite goal .or objective. We have -
a splendid illustration of the topmost
speed and the licsurely stroll in the
increased production iii Great Brit-
ain since' the war began. Are we doing
our utmost for the Kingdom of Clod ?
Doing all that we can and putting
all possible power behind our spirit-
ual life ?
The choir rendered appropriate mu-
sic for the occasion.
