ANNIVERSARY SERVICES WELL ATTENDED Colborne United Church Anniversary Services were well attended last Sunday. The morning congregation was large and the evening necessitated the use of dozens of extra chairs. We appreciate the good will shown by our own people and especially by those who came from other churches. Rev. J. E. Griffith, B.A.. who has recently come to Castleton was the special speaker for this 86th anniversary. He delivered splendid messages and many were the fine comments on his sermons. Our own Choir 'and we are proud of them) sftng a couple of anthems in the morn-ning. Misses Mary and Margaret Rutherford were home for the Sunday and their duet was appreciated. In the evening Bethesda South Choir under the able leadership of Mr. and Mrs. George Campbell brought inspiration and added blessing to the whole service. Bethesda South is one of the churches on Baltimore charge. It has become justly famous for the choir work they do. Here is a splendid example of what a rural community may accomplish when talent and consecration responds to leadership in song "and worship. The officials were asking for large contributions at these services. Within a year over $2300 has been spent an furnaces, chimney, insulating, and painting. A canvas last spring brought over $1000 in cash. We do not know at the time of writing the a,mount received. We do know that our people have been most generous in their support of our own work and mission. There is a blessing in giving. The W. A. entertained both Colborne and Bethesda South Choirs after the evening service. It was a time of happy fellowship. The kindness of the president, Mrs. B. Smith, and her committee was appreciated and applauded. You will always find a welcome in our United Church. If you can come do so. If you have talent here is opportunity to use it in association with others. We are like other people--few of us have entirely escaped from the world--occasionally there are a few ripples on the surface of our sea but deep down we are concerned about being "workers together with Christ." For the bles-ings and gifts of another anniversary we praise Him who is the Head of the Church. O Canada let not the memory die Of valiant sons in far-off graves who lie; With gallant hearts themselves they gave In air, on land, on sea And stood on guard O Canada, that still thou might be free. O Canada, thy destiny Was sealed by those who died on guard for thee; By those who nobly daring, died for thee. Prayers and Benediction by Rev. Foote. National Anthem. At the conclusion of the service the parade marched north from the park Church St, east to Elgin St, south to King St., then west past the Reviewing Stand, where distinguished visitors and relatives of the fallen were assembled, and the March Past Salute taken by Capt. C. S. Rutherford, south on Division St.. east on North St. to the starting point, where they were dismissed.
