The best man was Roy Weil- man.- The reception was heid at the bride's home. The bride wore a brown dressmaker suit for the wedding trip by matar ta North- ern Ontario. On their return they will reside in Bowmanville. St. John's Church Filled to Capacity Confirmation Service St. John's Anglican Church was filled to capacity Sunday morning for the confirmation service when 35 candidates received the gif t of the Holy Ghost. It was necessary to erect a public address system to enabie the overflow seated in the Parish Hall to participate in the service. During the processional hymn the sceptre was carried to the front of the church, a mark of re- ligious formality in the Anglican service. After prayers Rev. J. dePencier Wright declared the class prepared for confirmation. The congregation remained seat- ed while the candidates stood and renewed the vows their godpar- ents made for them at baptîsm. They then made the pilgrimage to the chancel steps where His Grace, Archbishop Derwyn T. Owen, Primate of ail Canada, performed the laying on of hands. Before commencing his sermon the Archbishop extended a word of weicome to the congregation and especialiy welcomed those just confirmed to the sanctity of the church. He commended Rev. Wright on the excellent work hie has done in the short time hie has been with this parish. His Grace spoke a few words on behaif of Anglican Advance Appeal and explained that besides a spiritual re-awakening it is an effort of the church to make its proper contri- bution to progress and peace 'by taking its rightful position in the community and carrying on mis- sion work. Vhen a churcl& fill- ed there is a warm feeling of con- fidence and co-operatic5n which is essential to the forces of peace. He mentioned that the confirma- tion service brîngs about a sense of re-assurance, responsibility and privileges. The text of his sermon was bas- ed on the fourth question and an- swer of the catechism-Question: "Dost thou not think that thou art bound to believe and to do as they have promised for thee?" Answer: "Yes verily, and by God's help so I will and I heartily thank our Heavenly Father that He hath called me to this state of sal- vation through Jesus Christ our Saviour and I pray unto God tc give me the grace that I may con- tinue in the same unto my life's end." Dividing the question into sec- tions we find that religion re- quires thinking. Many people read books opposing religion wrît- ten by learned men but not books expressing the views of serious thinkers in favour of religion. The mmnd must be used in religion. Also faith and trust in God anc the Holy Ghost to bring about deeds, the belief that there is no other who can save the world but God is absolutely necessary in the Christian religion. That is the greatest promise made. The answer states that religion needs affirmation as it should be first in our lives. Then the p'a thetic prayer appears 'How can1 do these things?' and we discover -'By God's help so f wîll." We thank God for cailing us to this state of salvation and giving usa L place in the church. We ask fai grace, which is a gift of love, thai 0 we may continue His forever. ThE .

Fairweather united in mar- riage Joyce Edith Marie Chand- [r, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. YV. Chandler, formerly of Oshawa nd now of Toronto, ta Harold Vernon Rogerson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rogerson of New- astie. The bride was given in mar- iage by her father and wore a gown of white satin and net with afinger-tip veil o! embroidered net caught to a halo of orange blossoms. The maid of honor, Mliss Mary Scott of Oshawa, wore a gown o! old rose taffeta and car- ied a cascade of dusky pink car- nations. Miss Elsie Chandler, Osh- awa, was bridesmaid and wore a pale blue silk and net dress with bouquet of pink carnations. Miss ,Iarilyn Bouckley of Toronto was fower girl and wore a dress o! pînk silk voile and carried roses and forget-me-nots. The best man was Allen Ray- ield and the usher was Eddie Bouckley, both of Toronto. A reception was held at the >ride's home in Toronto; the cou- ple left on a trip to the east, the bride wearing a pale blue dress, a brown topcoat and a corsage of red roses and white sweet peas. Out-af-town guests present were Mrs. W. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. S. Scott, Mrs. D. Guiltinan, Mrs. H. Lakin, Mr. and Mrs. T. Rae, ahl of Oshawa, and J. qhandler of Bowmanville. I i READY irnnity Sunday School ftnniversary Service Weil Attended Sunday Trinity United Church Sunday School held its Anniversary Ser- vice Sunday morning. The church wras filled with members and par- ents of the children taking part. The Processional Hymn, "Come, Children, Join to Sing," ;vas sung while the children in the lower classes marched up the aisie car- rying dainty bouquets o! flowers which they gave to five of the older girls at the altar, Doris Ail- dread, Collette Ferguson, Joyce Grant, Joan Greenfield, Joyce Cox and jacqueline Heyland. The girls arranged the flowers artis- tically around a picture of the boy Jesus in front of the altar. There were also beautiful bouquets of flowers on the organ and at the front of the church. The musical selections, with Mr. W. E. C. Workman at the organ and Miss Phyllis Challis, at the piano, included, "Father Take My Eland," sung by the choir and "He Will Feed His Flock," sweetly sung by Master Ivan Waolley. The younger children adjourned to the Sunday School room during the singing of the next hymn, "Ail the Happy Children Gladly Jain Our Sang." Mr. W. R. Strike, Assistant Su- perintendent, introduced the speaker, Rev. C. G. Park of Whit- by United Church. Mr. Park is well-known for the splendid work he has done in Young People's organizatians. In his sermon he stressed the importance of happy family life for the good of the in- dividuai, the community and the country. To illustrate his point Mr. Park made an acrostic from the word family: Father and Mo- ther I Love You, Fred and Mary I Lead You, and Fred and Mary I Liberate You. ýBy this means he showed the children and parents how the home life can be knit more closely together by love, haw the parents can guide their children 'along the right paths and through knowledge of God can set them free to do His will on earth. The Superintendent of the Sun- day Schooi, Dr. J. C. Devitt, thanked Rev. Park for his splen- did sermon and announced the closing hymn, "The Wise May Bring Their Learning." Rev. J. E. Griffith, pastor, oc- cupied Mr. Parks' pulpit at Whit- by for the marning service. Demonstration of Instrumentai Dancing Presented by Pupis It is a noteworthy fact that cit-: izens o! Bowmanville, especially the young people, are becoming more interested and are takîng advantage o! the cultural develop- ments offered to them. Last Thursday something new and dif- ferent in the form of instrumental dancing was witnessed by the Statesman reporter. A delightful display was given in the form of a regular dancing ciass under the direction of Mrs. 0. Friend at the home o! her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Schon, Beech Ave. Miss Phyllis Challis, A.T.C.M., and Gre- gar Friend ably accompanied the class at the piano. Before the display was begun Mrs. Friend spoke a few words of welcome to the guests among whom were Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Walter of Toronto. Dr. Walter is the vice-principal of the Toronto Conservatory of Music having come out from Czechoslavakia in 1936. Mrs. Friend explained to the group that it was not a finished per- formance as the girls had been taking lessons only a short time. A few opening exercises for the purpose of relaxing the muscles of the body were presented and the girls demonstrated with music a slow walk which develops bal- ance and poise.- A Bach Minuet supplied the background for the graceful, swinging movements o! the first dance. This type o! danc- ing, which is known as Instru- mental Dancing, is somewhat dif- ferent from the usually accepted method. It is a dance interpret- ing the general character of the music s0 that one can portray the height, depth and volume of the music using the body as an instrument. The feet establish the beat and rhythm while the mel- ody is înterpreted wîth the arms. 1 Further illustrating this the girls gave several examples to the »accompaniment of Mozart, Schu- bert and music o! several other classic composers. The girls mov- ed enthusiasticaliy from a waltz ta a polka and other dances much ta the enjoyment of the guests. Mrs. Friend and the girls are ta be commended on the fine work they are doing. It is hoped that at some future date citizens will rbe able ta see these girls perform. Members o! the class taking -part were: Jean Living, Barbara sVirgin, June Alîchin, Joan Rice, Maria Clarke, Marion Dippeli, - Nancy Varcoe, Patsy Smith, Mary - Paterson, Veronica Friend, Mary eSouthey, Janet Dale, and Wilma -Richards. s The ex-servicemen who have eagain donned their customary Sgarb o! policemen, conductors, doormen, etc., are getting weary o! those would-be wags who 0 crack: "How does it feel ta be back in uniform?" ing us that aur !aith is nat a smali thing but should be taken ser- iously. During the affertory the 23rd psahm was sung by Donald Spence. Mrs. J. A. Gunn, despite her recent ilhness, was in her place at the pipe-organ.
