The church was organized in 1855 with Rev. Mr. Cresswell ' conducting the first services. The event was recognized by three services during the day, A celebration of Holy Communion at 8 a,nt. and morning prayer at 11 a.m. when Rev. Mr. Walton, who is working among the Eskimo in Hudson's Bay, was the preacher. The service was read by the rector, Rev. T, H. Brown In the evening there was a large congregation present. Evening pray- er was read 'by Rev. H. Naylor, of Hensall. Right Rev. David Wil- liams, Bishop of Huron Diocese, was present 'and preached from the text, I Chron, XXII, 5—'"The house that is to he built for the 'Lord must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory, throughout the countries." His Lordship told why David was building this temple as a memorial or sacrament of God's goodness in staying the plague. God had 'bless- ed the people, and naw the people felt that in some 'way they should. recognise His goodness by having an outward and visible sign of the in- ward and spiritual grace 'o'f God tow- ard people. In the first place the people felt. they 'could not repay God for his ;blessing 'but they were will- ing to give - of ;their very 'best to promote the glory of God. This was contrasted with the feeling of about 100 years ago when 'many people thought ,beautiful things were sinful and 'frivolous and ;thought there was virtue in plain .and ugly houses of God, 'but this insult to the Al- mighty had died 'ou't and beatity in building and 'beauty in worship is taking again its right place in the world because 'beauty in the highest in Art. was giving the chest 'to God. Then,the temple was to be of such fame and glory that -it would stand out and cause people to ask its mean- ing and attract to tlife worship of the true 'God. This idea was further developed that the Christian , 'rhust 'build up •in his 'ownlife and 'body a temple of the Holy ;Ghost, 'truly mag- n+fi'cent, thus revealing God to men. The conflict 'between. Christian life .atfd Christian 'teaching was one of ISSUE No, 27. scuff. - M AY:F a Mir (Sift 'torr _ -lfl Genuine Orange Blossom, .Rings' For the Groom .17/21 WEDDING GIFTS We are often asked by prospective bridegrooms for sug estions for the gifts they shall purchase for their wedding.

The annual picnic of the Huron Old Boys' Association of Toronto, was held in Exhibition park, on Friday af- ternoon last, and was the most suc- cessful affair of the kind in the his- tory of the association. The weather was threatening at first. At noon it looked like a very stormy afternoon, but at 4 p.m. the sun came out, the weather cleared up, and the rest of time .afternoon was all that could be desired. The location was an ideal one, the lawn in areas 5 and 6 'being most beautiful, and ,facing on the lake front and with the flower gardens of the Canadian National Exhibition in the rear, the spot could not be surpassed anywhere for a picnic ground. The Transportation 'building, where the tables were laid, could accommo- date 5,000 people, and the tables were loaded with all they 'could bear. And such "eats": the ;baking is said by experts to 'have 'been superior to anything ever 'seen at a picnic before. Mrs. M. Martin was chairman of the refreshment committee, and was as- sisted by Mesdames 'McLaren, Floody, Moon, Young, McCreath, Scott, King, Cobbledick, Beck and Morrish and be it be, remarked here, that the commit- tee excelled themselves. And the of - fee, Gee, it would make you Fun a race whether you were willing or not. And the crowd. Yore ought to have seen them coming. Old boys and old girls, and young' boys and young girls, they a'll ,came until every concession line in the old county had a ,champion. The north end of, the county made the biggest sli'owing, Wingham, Brussels, Bluevale, Gorrie, :Blyht and Walton having large delegations. After the refreshments were serve'' the programme o.f games and sports was gone through with, President Sheppard and Bert McCreath acting as starters; 1 -Ion. Pres, J. A, McLaren A. E. Forbes, Jno. ,Moon, and R. Holmes as judges; R. C. King and C. A. Neton as referees; secretary Floody as entry .clerk whilst Mrs. H. 13. Stowe and Mrs Ferguson distrib- uted the prizes., The omen's' tug of war, between team's captained by Miss Lily Pater- son, assistant secretary, and 'Mrs. J. Beck, was an exciting and strenuous event 'and resulted in the ,former's' team winning, largely composed of Wing'hanvtes. Tia ladies broom footha1.1 match was a real Battle of the Brooms, not broomsticks, and I want to warn thosechamnion lacrosse ,players, who are "tooted" by t'he •na,pers so much,. to look out for the ladies from Huron, in the very near ,future.'
