ANNIVERSARY The Main St. United church held successful anniversary services on Sunday last. Splendid congrega­ tions were present at both services and the music for the day was of a very high order. A beautiful bou­ quet of golden mums adorned the pulpit. At the morning service Rev. pr. Dobson, principal of Alma College, St. Thomas, was the guest speaker and in the evening Rev. .S. Edworthy, of First United church, St. Thomas, was the preacher. The morning service in Caven Presby­ terian church was withdrawn and Rev. Mr, Hill assisted with the ser­ vice in' Main St. In the evening both the Trivitt Memorial church and Trivitt Memorial ch rSh?9f i and James St. United church with­ drew their services. At the morn­ ing service the choir sang an an­ them and the male quartette, com­ prising Harold and Gerald Skinner, Jas. Francis and F. Wildfong sang. In the evening, in addition to, an an­ them and the quartette a trio was sung by Mrs. N. Hockey,, Misses M. Follick and H. Dignan. At the morning service Dr. Dob­ son took, for his text “The founda­ tions of God standeth sure.” There are many, things today of which we are not certain but there is one thing on which we can rely and that is that the foundations of God standeth sure. Often the things we have taken for granted; the things we had thought would never change have changed. Investments that we have thought safe have vanished. People have been wondering today if democracy would stand, Social toms have changed and some tempted to ,say that religion changed but in spite of all changing conditions there are some things able. IThe dation fundamental basework of humanity. First that the law of life is progress. With wars, rumors of wars, calama- ties and depressions people are say­ ing that we are going backward but we may well question that state­ ment. If civilization means the well being of the human race then nothing can destroy it. Wars may change or retard it but the great, deep river of human events moves onward. If progress were not the purpose of God how could we take kindily to- Christianity? God’s plan is to -move forward until Christian­ ity envelopes the whole world, per­ haps we can say that more progress has been made in the past ten years than in the previous hundred. Time will tell. iSecondly the speaker said that the Kingdom of God is within us. The great things of life are spiritual rather than material; far deeper than the the the the are more concerned about the material things, of stocks and bonds, of busi­ ness, of investments, „of pleasures. One day we are pessimistic, the next day we are bubbling over with en­ thusiasm, but whatever happens we must recognize the eternal things of the spirit. The third foundation stone God loves us. The world is conflict; the threat of war; are not getting a fair chance, so much unhappiness in the holme and discontentment on every hand. But God loves us; His love is change­ less and absolutely dependable. Isn’t it great to belong to an insti­ tution, the plan and purpose of which is to go forward, said the speaker. However discouraged we may get we may rest assured that the founda­ tions of Christianity are certain and cannot be In tile took for Church.” Edworthy ference in Edinburgh which repres­ ented the churches of every country? in the world except Germany. He outlined the finding of these re­ ligious leaders. The church is some­ thing more than an institution for giving a religious atmosphere to the community. Religion is thing. The need of the new living faith. ’ HALLOWE’EN SUPPER The held a Friday School church, the W- M. <S. Q.f Main Street church. The Hallowe’en decorations were very daintily arranged on the tables.
