MacWILLIAM f Phone 237 Wingham i ■ n ■ i i H ■ ■ Annual Anniversary, Flower Sunday at United Church A highlight of the Sunday School year, the anniversary and flower Sun­day, was held in Gorrie United Church on Sunday morning. The theme, '‘Crowns in God's Kingdom”, was car­ ried through in the program and de­corations. To the music of the organ the Sun­ day School pupils marched across the choir loft and presented their floral of­ ferings to their teachers, Mrs. Lionel Johnston, Miss Margaret Dane, Miss Ferne Cooke, Mrs. Dick Carson and Mrs, Glad. Edgar. The children took their places at the front of the church ^n the setting of ferns and' flowers, the outstanding feature being floral crowns, representing faith, hope and love, the three crowns in God's King­ dom. The call to worship was given by Bruce Grainger, followed by the en­tire Sunday School singing “This Is My Father’s World". Speaking for faith, Lenore Fejgel and Alec Hamil­ ton recited poems; for hope, Paul Gal­braith and Maureen Buchanan; for love, Larry Simpson and Evelyn Anne Stephens gave appropriate readings, Marie Hastie sang a lovely solo, “God Who Touchest Earth with Beauty”, Ruth Edgar, Carol Robinson and Lin­ da Jane Durst sang in trio, “Pre­ cious Jewels". Gwen Hyndman gave a reading on “Love” and the pupils took their places in the first six pews reserved for them, singing “Praise Him, Praise Him”, The Sunday School superintendent, Mrs. Ewart Whitfield, continued the service with hymn 488, “Come Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love", followed by prayer by the guest of the day. Rev. Glen Eagles, of Clinton, Mrs. Whitfield expressed the appreciation of the S.S, for the interest and co-op­ eration in creating the success of the flower ■ service and in a few well- chosen words introduced the Rev. Glen Eagles to the congregation, The choii, comprised of the C.G.I.T., sang a beautiful anthem, “A Flower Grows in My Garden”. The Scripture was re­ cited by four of the younger pupils, Alec Strong, Donald Whitfield, Na- dene Cook and Joan Strong, First Corinthians, 13. Mr. Eagles, using a flower and a weed as an object lesson, stressed the parents’ responsibility in cultivating the fertile soil of a child’s character. Weeds of unbelief, unkind thoughts, irreverence, must be uprooted if the flowers of faith, hope and love are to grow. Parents are apt to, be too busy looking after a child’s material needs and neglect to cultivate the basic fun­damental beliefs that will guide him for all his future life. The fact that the family prays together, stays to­ gether and the family that worships together stays together, was brought out. In closing, he told a story to the children, showing that if they keep their eyes on the example of Jesus and do their best, they will grow up to have characters lovely as flowers ra­ ther than as weeds.The hymn “For the Beauty of the Earth” closed the service. The organ music under the direction of George Gregg, B.A., was much appreciated both before and after the service., Baby Band Entertained The Woman’s Missionary Society entertained the Baby Band, and their mothers at their June meeting in the Church on Thursday afternoon.
