ISABEL GRAHAM First Presbyterian Church Holds Anniversary Services Successful and inspiring annivers- ary services were (held in First Pres- byterian Church Sunday when the guest preacher, Rev. J. N. McFaul, of St. Andrew's Church, Stratford, brought thoughtful and timely mes- sages which were listened to with much appreciation by the cougrega• tion The speaker c•l!ose his morning text from the eighth chapter of Luke, verse .10; "And it mine to pass when Jesus returned the people received him glad- ly for they were all waiting for Him." ,]esus had sone from the eastern to the western side of the bake of Gal- ilee, where He hast healed the lunatic possessed of devils. The people were amazed but could not understand the 'marvelous power of the One who +healed, hint, They were more con- cerned about the property they had lost and afraid if Jesus stayed with them they would lose snore, so they prayed Him to depart. Jesus often ,takes people at their word. He never forces Himself upon anyone. The fact that they were so glad to see Jesus was a fine tribute to the people of the eastern side of the lake. They had wait' forHim time, }n,g some just as Canadians hada been waiting to see. King George and Queen Elizabeth. What 'a terrible disappointment it would have been to boys and girls and older people if they had not come. If the King of England is received in that, way, Trow much greater honor and tribute we should pay to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus always Nine to the people who expects HirnJesors does com e to waiting hearts and His coming compensates when they see Him. We cannot see Him as we see the King but we know He is here. Simeon waited with tremendous expectation and at la.st exclaimed: "Mine eyes have seen Thy salvation." We should never forget the love and loyalty the ' pioneers have given to Christ 'and this church. "Am I giving as loyally and devotedly to my- Saviour and King as I ought'? Am 1 as loyal to Him las to the King?" While people are• shouting and applauding, 1 wonlder' rf King George wouldn't he more pleas- ed if every one would strive to walk worthy citizens or -ugh a great Em- pire. 'PI:at is what Jesus wants. Loyalty is a i'hristian attribute. We are (old to fear Gel and honor the King. we must. (urvo a desire for the Christian life and realize our teed of Jesus Christ. When people are well .and prosperous they sometimes do net have the desire for Jesus Christ. That is one of the saddest things in life. While we wait we must make preparation. Some may say it is undue, but preparation ASl necessary. Christian .people must make preparation.' We can do things in the church and commnunity.. There is something we :must do for our- selves. If we are ever going to be strong, spiritually and morally, we must wait on God and He will renew our strength. Two anthems were well rendered by the choir, "Repent Ye," F. E.
