Special Church Service The first worship service sponsored by the Ontario (County) Federation of Agriculture in the Old Stone Church at Beaverton was a decided success and points the way to future services.

Mr. March of Lindsay contemplated the passage from Scrip- ture where Naboth said to King Ahab when Ahab wished to buy his vine- vard "God forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee." It was a service of in- spiration when one could not help but' search out the good things to be found in our way of life and to hold them dear. It will be hoped that many more people will next year avail themselves of this opportunity of worshipping to- gether. The service was led in song by the Junior Farmer Quartette and Mr. Clarence Werry of Kedron occu- pied the pulpit with Mr. March.
