PLAYS RECITAL Harold Victor Pym, organist and 'choirmaster of St. Andrew's Presby- terian Church, Wingham, and musical director of radio station CKNX held a recital at Evangelical United Bre- thren Church in Elmira on Monday evening. The church was filled to capacity for' the dedication of a new organ. Large congregations gathered at Wingham United Church for the sec- ond Sunday to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary. The speaker for the day was Prof. Lawrence Cragg of Ham- ilton, son of a former minister of the church, Rev. C. E. Cragg .of Toronto. Prof, Cragg chose as his subject, "Laymen and the Church". In the morning, he explained that the Church expected much from its lay- men in leadership, attendance and daily service. The Church is the whole body of God's believing peeople and was established before there was even a church building. The twelve apostles were laymen doing the work of the church, In the evening he spoke to the laymen, put- ting directly upon their shoulders many responsibilities toward the church. The only solution for coun- tries and individuals today is in the Church of God arid the success of the Church depeends upon the lay- men. Being a layman himself, Prof. Cragg spoke with experience and con- viction. Mr. Alan Bennett, choirmaster, led the music, and the choir sang two anthems: "0 Praise the Lord of Heaven" and "Blessing and Honour." The guest soloist was Mr, 13ruce Ed- gar of Toronto, a former member of the choir, His solos, at both services were much enjoyed. It was a coinci- dence that Lawrence Cragg and Bruce Edgar attended Wingham High School together Mica they were boys. The church was suitably decorated and on each Sunday, the Official Board placed a large basket of flow- ers in memory of those members who had passed on during the half century. Following the evening service, a reception was held in the School Room, when many old acquaintances were renewed. Several letters from former members were read, express- ing their regret that they could not be present. Among them was one from Mrs. Wm. Shillington of Miami, dau- ghter of o former minister, Rev. Dr. Rutledge, also one from Mr. Allin Hobbs of Galt, son of Rev. Richard Hobbs. Greetings also came from Rev. J, Anderson of Sarnia. From the guest Wks, it was found that Mrs. Myrtle Imlay Stark of Detroit, had come the greatest distance to worship in the home church. The thanks of the congregation was extended to the Presbyterian and Anglican churches, who had with- drawn their evening services for the occasion. The very successful Anniver-. Nary services were concluded with a largely atteended. congregational sup— per on Monday owning, Nerved by the Worricn's Association. tr SUCCESSFUL FUNCTIONS and 128.0NALS' olin Hanna, M.P.P., is seen inspecting of the fair and Dave , .
