William Barclay, D.D., Preaches In First Presbyter- ian Church The 75th anniversary of First Presbyterian Church, Seaforth, was marked on Sunday with large congre- gations at the morning and evening services when many former members came from distant points to worship again in the church. The special speaker for the day was Rev. William Barclay, D.D., of Hamilton. Rev. Hugh Jack, minister of the church conducted the services. Also present was Rev. Dr. Larkin, of Toronto, who was pastor of the Sea - forth church for twenty-eight years. In his morning sermon, Dr. Bar- clay, a former moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, took as his subject, "Jesus and the People." His text was "And the com- mon people heard "him gladly." Dr. Barclay pointed out that this did not mean that Christ was a popular dem- agogue; the very people who came to hear the Master when he was telling 'them the things they liked to hear were the ones who constituted the Jerusalem mob which crucified Him. It is the duty of a leader, said the preacher, to tell the people the truth whether it be pleasant or not. 'This was Christ's practice and his example is still the best for all those who lead men. In concluding Dr. Barclay re- ferred to the service of Rev. Dr. Larkin with the Seaforth congrega- tion and exhorted the congregation to continue to uphold its tradition of godliness and service. At the evening service, Rev. H. V. Workman of the Northside United Church and Rev. Dr. Hurford of St. Thomas' Anglican Church, also as- sisted in the service. Dr. Barclay's evening subject was "God's Greater Glory." His theme was that we must be very certain of our war aims. The essential motive behind our determ- ination to stamp out Hitlerism should not primarily be a desire to preserve personal advantage or the continued predominance of the democracies. Our first purpose should be to stamp out evil in order that God's glory be not tainted by the evil of His child- ren..A. prayer by Dr. Larkin conclud- ed the service. Special music was provided by the choir at both services. In the morn- ing Mr. James T. Scott sang a solo, "The Good Shepherd," and an anthem was sung by the choir, "The Ninety and Nine."

It's not a surprise, therefore, to find that two canny bankers from the town of Seaforth have been sel- ected to'keep their eyes on the park- ing fees. E. C. "Ned" Boswell and J. M. "Joe" McMillan are to superintend the task of seeing that the money collected at the parking lots gets de- posited safely in the vaults of their respective banks. The only trouble which might arise will be deciding which bank gets the cash. Ned and Joe are both managers of local banks and at latest reports it seems that they will divide the money evenly at the end of each day. Both Mr. Boswell and Mr. McMillan have interests of farming at heart 1 Between them they know the ins and outs of the hardships sustained by farmers during the past number of years and they both have strong feel- ings in the matter of farming being placed on a sounder basis. They both feel that the educational aspects of the International Plowing match will do much to help farming in ,general. 1 Financially the Huron County Plow- ing Match committee is 'on a very sound basis. In addition to seeing that the parking fees are collected and banked, the two "Watch Dogs of the Treasury," are keeping their eyes peeled in all financial matters affebt- ing the match, Ned Boswell and Joe McMillan are doing their share to as- sure the success of the 1942 Internat- ional Plowing match when it is held in Huron County on October 13, 14, 15 aifd 16 OLD LANDMARK TORN DOWN THIS WEEK The former Barton blacksmith and carriage shop on North Main street is being torn down this week.
