Granton churches mark
By MRS. E. SUMMERS
GRANTON
The Rev. Elwood Morden
was in charge of the worship
for Thanksgiving Sunday at
the United Church and en-
titled his sermon "Life's
Pageant of Praise" Let
everything that has voice
praise thee, Lord. Praise ye
the Lord." How can we give
thanks?
1, Remember: we are
beginning to lose the power
to remember, because we
have so many helps today.
Th htlessness is a sin,
and heedlessness 1s God's
enemy, said the minister.
Not to give thanks is a sign
that we are not thinking of
God's goodness. We must
count our blessings.
2. Acceptance: God gives
good and bad, like a harvest
late, as this year life's
tragedies and sorrows come,
thanks giving is, a time of
acceptance of the hard
things of life.
3. Praise: we should never
be long without a desire to
praise, let everything that
breathes praise the Lord.
Special music was
provided by Mrs. E. Bryan
on the organ with Doug Barr
at the piano.
The children made up a
Thanksgiving basket from
their allowance to take to a
disabled couple, who were so
very pleased and thankful,
and asked them to sing "Can
a little child Hke me, thank
the Father fittingly."
At St. Thomas Anglican
Church the Rev. Greg Smith
conducted the .service for
Thanksgiving Sunday and
preached his sermon from
Ephe ians 4:14.
Referring this lesson to the
life of George Herbert who
was a very religious and
humble man, who struggled
until his goal was achieved.
The last contributions of his
life was spent as a poet. He
said, "There is but one body,
one spirit, one Lord, one
baptism, and one faith.
The lesson was read by
Miss Helen Herbert.
At the Granton Com-
munity Bible Church, the
altar reflected the theme of
Thanksgiving as many
families brought beautiful
fall flowers and baskets of
fruits and vegetables, as
reminders of the goodness of
our Lord. Pastor Fretz spoke
on "Four Christian
Privileges." First, God no
longer sees us as the sinners
we are, but our million in
Christ is one of total
righteousness. Secondly we
are protected in Christ as He
is our impregnable rock.
Thirdly Christ promises to
supply all our ffpiritual and
physical needs. Lastly, as
Christians God has promised
us that we will go right into
His presence when we die.
What a marvelous prospect
each Christian has.

Centralia families busy
over holiday weekend
By MRS. FRED BOWDEN
CENTRALIA
An array of autumn
leaves, fruits, vegetables
and flowers were tastefully
arranged to make a colourful
setting for the Thanksgiving
service in the United Church
on Sunday morning.
"Thanksgiving" was the
subject chosen by Rev.
Crowe for his sermon and the
biblical reference was the
cleansing of the ten lepers as
recorded in Luke but only
one returned to give thanks.
When Christians come
together they should thank
God for .His love. If God's
love was withdrawn we
would perish. We should be
thankful that right not might
rules the Universe. We were
made for good not evil. God
is righteous and supports the
good.
The -children were told the
story of how Thanksgiving
began and assisted in the
service by distributing the
leaflets "Praise and
Thanksgiving". The
scripture lessons from both
the old and new Testaments
were read by Stephen Tasko.
The choir sang an anthem
