THE PILGRIMAGE PLAY "The Pilgrimage Play" will be presented this Friday. evening, Mar. 27th in Northside United Church, under -the auspices of the Women's Association. Without embellish -1 stents, this motion picture tells in' natural color and sound the story , of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as simply and forth -1 as told in the Bible. Out of the pages of your Bible walk the flesh and blood characters of the Greatest ,Story ever told, — Peter, James and John, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdelene, and all the familiar names of the sacred re- cord. As a background for thinking during this Lenten Period; as a pre- lude to the Passion Week Services and Easter; every person should avail himself of the opportunity of this wonderful experience. Mr. Jones came to Seaforth from Lions Head in May, 1951, and dur- ing the two years extensive reno- vation of St. Thomas' Church pro- perty has been completed. St. Andrew's, Kitchener, is a new parish in the southwest part of Kitchener, in a new housing devel- opment. Although started only five years ago, it is a thriving congrega- tion of young families, many of them war veterans of World War II, There are 12,0 children in the Sun- day School, Erection of a church has been started, worship at pre- sent being conducted in the com- pleted basement. A rectory has been purchased and a fund is well ad- vanced towards the completion of the church proper, The former rector of the church was Rev. Derwin D. Jones, recently appointed assistant rector of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, succeed- ing Rev. T. Dale Tones, who is now at Aylmer. Much regret is expressed by the congregation of .St. Thomas' Church 1 and people of Seaforth of all de- nominations for the approaching loss of Rev. and Mrs. Jones and family from town, hut the best wishes of all will go with them.

We're fortunate in Canada, Not so beyond our border. iSonehow we've lost the way to peace, No wonder there's reaction, In every land there•seems to be Widespread dissatisfaction. It takes but two to start a quarrel, Then more and more get in it, We find we're in that state today And wondering can we win it. There's lots of good men in the world, And just a few dictators. The good would do a better job, With fewer commentators, The Prince of Peace our only hope, Is' willing to direct us, Man thinks he has a better plan, Man's plan has almost wrecked us. What is your answer Malenkov, You're on the spot that's certain, And many enemies you'll find Inside the iron curtain, We have the ships, the jets, the bombs, With stores of ammunition. God keep you gallant fighting sten Throughout your daring mission. May Raster time bring Peace on Earth, May Goodwill be the leaven, To bring to weary fear -filled hearts The very breath of Heaven. —JOHN BEATTIE LESLIE LAWSON Leslie Lawson, R.
