Harold Currie On Thursday evening, June 27th, a large gathering assembled in St. Andrew's Church, Bayfield, to wit- ness the induction of Rey. Harold Currie as pastor of that congrega- tion and of the congregation of Grace. Church, Porter's Hill. Rev. Andrew Lane of Wesley -Willis United church, Clinton, presided at the service. Af ter the singing of the hymn, "The Church's One Fountain is Jesus Christ, our Lord," Mr. Lane addres- sed the congregations on the, theme, "The Church of Christ." He stressed the absolute dependence of the chureh on Jesus Christ. As the branch can- not bear fruit of . itself, except it abide in the vine, no more can the church on earth, without the presence of Jesus Christ. As the human body. is dead without the spirit of life, so the church is dead without Jesus. Christ is the head of the church. He loved it and gave Himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not hav- ing spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Fellowship and -perfect harmony should characterize church members, such harmony or articulation as ex- ists in the human body, where if one member stiffer all the members stif- fer with it; or if one member be honoured, all 'the members rejoice with it. The church is the body of Christ, Mr. Currie was the inducted into the pastorate of these two:con- gregations according to the beauti- ful ceremony used in the United Church of Canada. Rev. M. Peters of Varna addres- sed the new minister, giving hien wise counsel from his own exper- ience as a pastor. He urged him not to confine his interest to just his own pastorate but to remember that be- lievers everywhere were fellow mem- bers of Christ's church; the whole world is Christ's parish, Me. Peters emphasized that sympathy in afflic- tion was a duty and opened the way to the hearts of many people. Mr, Lane then, on behalf of Iltuon Presbytery, welcomed the young minister to his first appointment as an ordained minister. Then leaving the pulpit, he directed Mr. Currie to it, where he begins, what we hope may prove, a very fruitful ministry. Mr. Currie pronounced the benedic- tion. Then the congregations ac- cepted Mr. Colin Campbell's invita- tion to adjourn to the School Roost of the church where an hour of social intercourse was spent, refreshments served, and all had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with Mr. Currie, )YIr.
