Baptist Services
Continued from Page One
and His Own teachings.
"For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and not by your-
selves: it is the gift of God."
The call to service is to those
who have faith in Jesus Christ.
"Go work" is a responsibility
to which some people are hos-
tile and others indifferent.
There are many who profess
Christianity who do not want to
labor for its cause.
MUST REACH OUT
Mr. Searle said that many
of our hymns and much of our
preaching today emphasizes
"come" rather than "go". The
Scriptures say "Go ye into all
the world....
Defining region, Mr. Searle
portrayed Wingham as Jerusa-
lem and Quebec as Symaria.
The vineyard as applied to
missions today should include
home missions as well as for-
eign. Speaking of his experi-
ence as a farmer in his youth,
he remarked that the field most
often neglected is the one clos-
est to the barn. "Unless we
face this fact it may only be a
few years until foreign coun-
tries are sending missionaries to
us," he stated.
Being a son of missionaries
and born in China, the speaker
said he was very interested in
foreign missions. He also has a
daughter in the field in South
America and a son graduating
as a surgeon this year who will
then become a missionary. How-
ever, he feels that both home
and foreign missions have an
equal place in our lives.
There is also an urgency.
The parable says "today". We
don't know what an hour or day
will bring. Tomorrow may be
too late to work in His vine-
yard.
Miss Lois Sinclair presided at
the organ and Miss Ruth Sinclair
was pianist. A male quartet,
Hartley, Watson, Ronald Snell,
Frafrk Collar and Dr. A. Klah-
sen sang two numbers, "There's
a Place in the Harvest for You"

"It Will Be Worth It All". Rev.

Truth and the Life" from John
14:6.
Merrill Cantelon gave the
history of the Baptist Church in
Wingham.
The original church was
erected in 1863 on the lot now
occupied by Lower Town School.
Archibald Fisher and his sons
built the first church. The first
minister was Rev. Dunlop.
After twelve years the build-
ing was sold and'used as a
school. The present church was
erected in 1876 when the land,
consisting of two lots, was pur-
chased for $550.
The first trustees were Peter
Fisher, Alexander Robertson,
William Kirkby, Hugh Mc -
Ewan, John Drost and Peter Ro-
bertson. The deacons were
Alexander Robertson, John Pel-
ton and Joseph Welwood. W.
J. Chapman was the clerk. The
church was to be officially
known as the Regular Baptist
Church of Wingham.
The deed for the present
property was drawn at a cost of
$10.05 on November 16, 1876
and registered on November 20
in the registry office at "ten
o'clock and five minutes". The
rate was set at $1.00 for the
first 700 words, with lesser costs
thereafter.
Archibald Fisher was also
one of the architects to work on
the new building, which was
dedicated by Rev. Dr. David-
son in 1877. The first resident
pastor was Rev. T. G. Robert-
son.
During the first year several
special services were held by
Rev. Robt. Camerson of Brant-
ford. As a result of these meet-
ings
eetings 22 members were added to
the congregation.
Thirty-eight years later, on
Feb. 5, 1913, a fire partially
destroyed the building.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Sunday School work was
carried on during 1862 and 1863
with William Kirkby as superin-
tendent. The actual organiza-
tion of a Sunday Sch took
place at the home of John Fish-
er Sr, on January 13, 1864.
Peter Fisher was appointed su-
perintendent, Wm. Kirkby,
secretary and Mrs. Wm. Fair-
weather, treasurer.
A motion was made at the
meeting that the secretary pur-
chase one quire of paper and
convert some into class books
and a minute book.
There have been33 ministers,
