Wingham 's newest automotive
dealership, Chris Gosling's Chev-
rolet, Oldsmobile and Chevrolet
Truck franchise, officially an-
nounced last week, is buckling

Communion at
United Church
WROXETER — "Thy Will Be
Done" was the anthem sung by
the choir Sunday morning when
communion service was held in
the United Church here. Hymns
sung during the service were
"Jesus Thy Blood and Righteous-
ness" and "My Hope Is Built on
Nothing Less".
Nancy Clarke read the psalm
'and scripture.
"I am not worthy" was the
verse from scripture on which
Rev. G. Sach based his sermon.
Corzmuniori is the simple story of
Jesus having communion with his
disciples and saying, "I am not
worthy". .
. The centurion learned to cross
roads of difference. He °built a
synagogue. He could have tram-
pled the religious customs of the
Jews but didn't. His heart went
,out to Jesus and he staked all his
hopes on Him.
The Pharisee assumed he
would gain God's .attention. The
lowly Gentile of .the same time
made -his plea humbly. "We don't
have to be superior to come to
God. We are at the Lord's Supper
not because we are worthy. The
table is for those in despair, who
need hope and `feel unworthy
those who wish to ne helped by
communion," said Mr. Sach.
On Sunday the service in Wrox-
'eter will be at 10 a.m. and Wrox-
eter and Gorrie United Churches
will hold union services in Wrox-
eter the first four Sundays in.
July.

er type. He was educated hi Eng-
land, including two years in agri-
cultural school.
This training came in handy on
his return to Canada when he en-
tered the feed and fertilizer busi-
ness with a co-op firm in Essex
County in Western Ontario. Later
he took a position as a car sales-
man at Tilbury and surrounding
area, then went into business on
his own with a modest dealership
,at Wardsville two years ago,
where good products and good
.deals rapidly expanded the busi-
ness.
Mr. - Gosling came here in
March and has been doing busi-
ness in the former Fina station
since then.
He is married to Maria Astol,
formerly of New York City and
has two. sons, Brian, four and
David, `eighteen months. They
will be making their home in the
former Ken Ducharme house
which he has purchased on Bris-
tol Terrace.
Aside from things automotive,
Mr. Gosling's 'favorite hobby is
flying, which seems to come na-
turally, as his father, Les Gos-
ling, who recently retired -to
Bluevale with his wife Kathleen,
is a former airline pilot. Another
interest is riding, as horses were
part of his life during the growing
up years.
Wingham and area residents
are cordially invited to inspect
the dealership, the new angi used
vehicles and meet Mr. Gosling
and his staff.
