E. SUMMERS GRANTON At the United Church Rev. Elwood Morden conducted the morning worship on Remembrance Sunday, and chose the theme for his sermon “How to face disappointment”. “Disappointment can be a mere vexation, or it can be so crushing that there seems to be no recovery from it”, said Rev. Morden. Disap­ pointment in any shape or form is a test of character. Men. have become geniuses as the result of disap­ pointments. Look your disappoints in the face, and say to yourself: “How may I turn this into an opportunity to be thankful for.” The Provincial wreath in Remembrance of all those who sacrificed their lives for their country was placed in the church by the Granton Women’s. Institute. There will be a memorial service held at the monument on Saturday at 11 a.m., in charge of the Lucan Legion At St. Thomas Anglican Church Rev. Mary Mills took her sermon from the 23rd Psalm, saying, The Good Shepherd restores and heals us, if we walk with God, God will see us home, and we shall dwell in the House of the Lord forever. The Ontario wreath was placed in the church by the Granton Women’s Institute for Remembrance Sunday.1 Flowers from the funeral of the late Norman Riddell were placed in the church in loving memory, by his family.

Mrs. Goos read a poem on Vote as you like but vote, Monday Autumn, and in connection with Remembrance Day a reading entitled “In slan­ der’s Fields”. Mrs. Sum­ mers presented a paper on the continuing Bible study series “The Lordship of Jesus”. This dealt with how we silence the Examples were, scripture is used to tell us what we really know, and when we refuse to hear anything new in the message, then the Bible is silenced. A very good discussion resulted. Lunch was served by the hostess with the assistance of Mrs. Earle Middleton and Mrs. Gordon McRobert. Mrs. Doug Brown was the hostess for Unit 3 Mrs. Leroy Bryan presided and opened the meeting with a short Worship service, as there was a lot of business to be attended to, such as final plans for the bazaar, the steward’s beef dinner, Happy Gang Christmas dinner and general meeting.
