Women's and Church Affairs in Clinton Districi
Orangemen Attend B. J. Gibbings Retires
Presbyterian Church
With guests in attendance from.
Londesboro, Goderich and Varna
lodges, members of Murphy LOL
710, together with the ladies. of
Hurpn LOBA, Clinton, attended.
their annual divine service in
Presbyterian Church Sunday
morning. Headed by Bannockburn
Pipe Band, Varna, and Worship-
ful Master, William. Fulford, the
marchers formed up at the Or-
ange Hall, Rattenbury St, E., and
proceeded along Albert, Ontario,
William and Rattenbury Sts. to
the church.
In the church, the lodge mem-
bers occupied the central pews.
Rev. D. J. Lane, the minister,
delivered an inspiring address.
Under the leadership of Mrs.
Bert Boyes, the choir rendered
special music, including a male
quartette consisting of William
Mutch, Bert Boyes, William Cook
and Clarence Neilans, and an ar-
them, "0 God our Help in Ages
Past." Hymns were "Stand up,
Stand up for Jesus," "Faith of our
Fathers," and the National An
them.
Rev. Mr. Lane said he was glad
to welcome the Orangemen and
ladies, especially in view of the
worldwide cause they represent-
ed, the maintenance of the Chris-
tian order of faith.
"You believe in Christ," he
declared. "You have recognized
the cardinal principles of Prot-
estantism—divine faith, the auth-
ority of the Holy Scripture, the
right yourselves to interpret those
Scriptures with the guidance of
the Holy Spirit."
Taking his text from Ezra 3:2,
"Then stood up Jozadak and his
brethren and Zerubbabel and his
brethren and budded the altar to
the God of Israel," Mr. Lane said
this was one of the most import-
ant stories of the Old Testament,
revealing one of the wisest courses
of action.
The speaker urged Orangemen
to be true and stedfast to the
faith; if they did not, they were
not true Orangemen. `Live' out
your faith day by day," he ad-
vised.
The average family of five uses
about 300 tons of water a year.

to the summer vacation was held
as usual in. Ontario St. United
Church, After serving the church

as leader of the choir, B. J. Gib-
bings had tendered his resigna-
tion and this was his final choir.
practice.
Before handing over the reigns
to his successor, Mrs. E. Wendorf,
who is also the organist, Mr.
Gibbings spoke to the choir,
thanking them for the support
given him through the yers. He
reminisced of the choirs' of by-
gone years and in his own hum-
ourous way mentioned some of
the ups and clowns of a choir
leader,
Another highlight of the even-
ing was the presentation of a
silver flower centrepiece to Miss
Florence Aiken and her fiance,
Donald Symons, and, a pair of
small mirrors to Gerald Nelson
and his fiancee, Miss Dorothy
McIntyre. Mr. Gibbings made
the presentations and customary
address.,
To round out a very pleasant
evening Mr, Gibbings treated, the
choir to ice cream and cookies,'

months of the 1948 church year
and were held respectively at
the homes of Mrs. Reg. Shipley,

of business dealt with was the
matter of having a debate at the

upon. This was to be In place

The subject chosen for the de-
bate was "Whereas it took the

en's skirts and the Second Great
War to lengthen them, be it re-
solved that such changes were
