The Annual Children's Flower Ser vice was held at St. Paul's Church on Sunday adorning at 11 a.m. and in spite of the very warm weather, was largely attended. The service opened with the singing of the Processional Hymn "Around the Throne of God in Heaven," led by St. Paul's Choir, the children of the Sunday School fol- lowed, each carrying a bouquet of flowers. The Children's Form of Ser- vice was used. The Rector, in addressing the con- gregation, took as his text, the 12th verse of the 11th chapter of the Song of Solomon, "The flowers appear on the earth." "Flowers," said the Rec- tor, "are God's Messengers and preach sermons, telling us of God's living kindness and care." "Little flowers are preachers, Eloquent and true, Praising Hint who feeds them With the early dew." "We may learn several lessons to- day from flowers" continued the prea- cher, "Punctuality, innocence, beauty. and perfection." "Jesus Christ loved all these things, and because He loved them, He grew in wisdom, and in favour with God and man." A special feature of the service was the singing of the solo "My Jesus I love Thee" by Master Vivian Han - more, of Sarnia, who delighted all present with his lovely soprano voice. .The Choir also gave a splendid ren- dering of the anthem 'Fear Not 0 Land," the solo parts being taken by Miss A. Irwin and Mr. J. R. M. Spit- tal. At the close of the service the flow- ers were sent to the Wingham Gener- al Hospital and the sick of the parish. OBITUARY Mrs. Wm.
