The anniversary services and re- opening of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Sonya, were held the last Sun- day in June and were exceptionally well attended. It was a day of great spiritual uplift in praise and service. 4 Rev. Mr, Thompson, of Dufferin St. Church, Toronto, occupied the in in the morning and Rev. Mr. Greer, of Lindsay, had charge in the evening. The music was supplied by Islington Evangelical choir, A pleasing feature of the morning service was the pre- sentation of a beautiful basket of flowers to Mrs. Alexander Ferguson, of Sunderland, by Mrs. J. Kennedy, and the following address was read by Mrs. J. Stewart McFarlane. "On behalf of St. Andrew's Church, Sonya, we seek to give some humble expression of our gratitude to Mrs. Alexander Ferguson, in having: the interior of our church edifice re- decorated. Throughout the ages, whenever men and women wiht a sense of the value of religion have lived, they have sought to clothe that belief in sym- bolic forms, This building is at once a symbol and a meeting place for the benefit of our comomn worship. We must have a place to meet; and since 1892 this edifice has accom- moaated this congregation and its very presence in the landscape is a symbol of our faith, Qur care of this symbol has not al- ways been a demonstration of a very lively faith. We must acknowledge neglect in the matter of its appear- ance and repair. Judged by this standard, what must have seemed ap- parent to many was our lack of faith. It is, therefore, a matter of great de- light that one of our number has shown her faith and her love by mak- ing this very substantial contribution to the better care and more lovely ap- pearance of this consecrated place. That her act of devotion has struck a responsive chord in all our hearts is evident in this large gathering. It is an act comparable in quality to the actof that woman of the gospel story who anointed with oil the Saviour's head, and washed His feet with her tears. We believe this act, in our midst and for His sake, will receive a similar commendation and acceptance at His hands. : No word of our can adequately con- vey our thanks to Mrs. Alexander Ferguson, but this is the only present- ly available means at our hand for expressing ourselves, She has de- lighted our eyes, she has warmed our hearts, she has raised our devout feel- ings to a higher level,-and has chal- lenged us to keep them there. To think that one of our numbers has done this must ever remain a matter not only for local pride, but a reminder that the House of God in our midst must ever be maintained a place of beauty and of peace, where men and women dusty in spirit and soiled with the things of time, may draw aside and find quiet and rest for their souls. In grateful acknowledgement of this gift and in token of our glad ac- ceptance of the same, we remain your fellow-laborers in the Gospel."
