er and special music was presented
by Victoria Chureh choir.
Choosing as his subject "Your
Faith Needs the Church," Mr.
Stewart delivered the sermon at
the morning service. Mr. Stewart,
a close personal friend of Rev. R.
G. MacMillan, minister of Knox
-Church, served in Kincardine be-
fore going to Toronto.
Mr. Stewart pointed out that
man's relationship with God is in
the first instance a relationship
of the heart. Although Jesus in-
structed His followers to enter into
private- to pray in secret, he said,
He did not stop there, but declared
to them that He would build His
church. The Christian needs the
fellowship of the church, he said,
to strengthen his own individual
faith.
Secondly, Mr. Stewart said, the
church gives an opportunity for
unified work among believers, and
finally, through•the church the in-
dividual Christian finds an oppor-
tunity to express his Christian Wit -

A hymn, the benediction, and the

sohn, concluded the program.
Soloists were Rita Rodger, Donna
McCalla, Thomas Hodgins, Marion
Grant, Lula David • and Elmer
Daniel.
