church at gormley built on the same site that was set aside for u community church there nearly go years ago located on the townlire at new gormley on the leary farm it commands an excell ent vantage point from any way you care to consider it while it was expected that the crowds would be large on sunday the attendance exceeded the most sanguine expectations and the hew church va s therefore unable to accommodate all who wished to at tend especially in the afternoon this was the dedication service presided over by elder s goudie the morning and evening services were also well attended four former pastors gave ten minute addresses at the opening service they being rev p cober of kitchener rev henry goudie of markham rev j k fidler of toronto and rev w h yates the present pastor rev a t gooding also addressed the morning service it is interesting to note that rev mr cober preached in the old church on this site from 1ss5 to 1sss and rev mr goudie from 1ss9 to 1s92 the other speakers served in more recent years ths closing service in the evening saw a familiar figure in the pulpit in c n good who delivered the closing sermon the sunday school at 2 oclock was made very interesting because of the presence of miss fidler a returned missionary from the near east miss fidler had much of real interest to tell the children im mediately following this service promptly at 3 oclock the dedicatory service was commenced in the body of the church which was filled be yond its seating capacity and the basement was also crowded where on overflow meeting was conduct ed rev s cressman of hespeler preached the dedicatory sermon while elder s goudie rendered the ritual ceremony which was follow ed by a fervent prayer rev mr cressmans address was highly appropriate for the occasion he read the 51st chapter of isaiah and based his remarks especially on these words lead me to the rock that is higher than i the speaker pointed out many instances of cases cited in the holy book where the people of god were given shelter behind rocks even the cananitcs found refuge from their enemies behind great rocks this new church ho thought would be a safe rock for the people of god to take refuge in when they are per plexed and in difficulty this is the rock of jesus the churches are the greatest asset we have today what he asked would beautiful scarboro markham or whitchurch be if it were not for the church of jesus christ they would be barren indeed said mr cressman if not for this beacon light of the church referring especially to the menno nite body he realized that they were perhaps small in numbers as compared to some others but pro phesied that god had a place for them and had given them a work to do christ is the rock of ages and on this rock alone must the church be built he said in con clusion elder goudie made reference to the financial situation concerning the new building it was reeled at a cost of approximately 8900 up to saturday night the money had all been raised in cash or promises ex cepting some 1250 the collections on sunday amounted to around 714 so that at present only a balance of 500 is required to clean the slate this is a highly satisfactory showing especially in a year when farm commodities are at the lowest level in lifetime of many people the new structure a substantial building is of red brick with shingle peak roof the auditorium of the building will seat 400 per sons including the capacity of the gallery in addition a sunday school room in the basement is a commod ious place occupying the size of tufe church with the exception of a small room at the one end designed tor a kitchen and on sunday one could smell the fragrant odors of coffee as the ladies provided for the visitors from a distance who wish ed to remain from one service to the next the committee in charge of build ing have now completed their work and include messrs chas hoover clarence donor sam donor ernest hunt james hunt frank pipher and simeon hoover mr chas hoover was chairman of the group and on sunday afternoon stepped to the platform to offer thanks on behalf of himself and his com mittee for the wholehearted sup port they had received during the past months the new pulpit and table in the chancel both rich looking pieces of furniture were made by a local artesan mr d w heise and pre sented to the congregation due acknowledgement of which was made in this public service for some good reason possibly the mennonite people who all seem to love music have foregone the use of musical instruments in their churches but the old order chang- eth the new church at gormley has an organ and on sunday partici pated in the hymns of praise and quartette selections at the various services the pastor of the church rev a t

the meeting far be yond tlie scheduled hour of adjourn ment the assembly of farmers city workers representatives and others rejected proposals for an active organization requiring a permanent central executive directing a number of local units in both rural and ur ban districts it was agreed that tho work of the conference should be continued and enlarged but along the lines which formed the basis of tlie conference just concluded and of the informal gathering of north york farmers here several mouths ago at which the parent industry was born what is needed throughout rural ontario it was decided is leadership and in spiration to educate farmers as- to how their problems may be met instead of a form of organization and a central executive being set up a committee was appointed to en courage local groups all over the pro vince to take up study and educative functions similar to that of the original parent industry assembly the committee will consist of the organization committee

the conference with the result that the conference endorsed both but eliminated from mr hawkes plan his proposal for a closelyknit federation of primary clubs in rural and urban districts together with affiliated organizations show fear of politics tlie conference approved of mr hawkes suggestion that the farm and town alliance should carry on educative propaganda and study in harmony with the
