Wanted To Buy _ «®¥ "a* # ‘&;‘g‘q?::\vé . ‘gah"" y Thursday, February 8th, 1945 Box 120 THE INDEPENDENT Day Of Prayer WL 449 The mortgage has been lifted by the efforts of the women of our church, coupled with those of a real friend of our church,â€"Mrs. Arthur Laughlan of Toronto, whose contributions to this cause were exâ€" ceedingly liberal. We regret very much that her death, last Easter, prevented her being with us toâ€" night to rejoice in his matter with us, for she was deeply interested. The ladies assisting in this cereâ€" mony,â€"Mrs. J. O. Moore, and Mrs. V. Catton, were the presidents of the Woman‘s Association, and Trinity Service Club respectively, during the last two years when the final payments were made, and who worked hard to accomplish this task. The tall lighted candle represents the ever burning, ever inspiring, ever present spirit of God as given to the Church of Christ through the Holy Spirit. The candles held in the hands of those participating represent six things which Christ‘s Church must always have to be of real power in a community and in winning the world for God, vizâ€" Faith, love, loyalty, zeal, sacrifice, service. Faith must light its candle at the living flame. The men who acted as guaranâ€" tors for this amount were: Messrs. P. S. Benn, David Allan, A. F. Hawke, Walter Ferris, Wm. Montâ€" gomery, James I Theal, W. A. Mcâ€" Niven, ‘F. R. Hunter, and C. P. Brown. Two of these, Messrs. Benn and Brown tave moved from Grimsby, three have passed on to the Higher Service, (Mr. Allan, Mr. Ferris, and Mr. Montgomery), the other four are still with us in our church today, (three of them partiâ€" cipating in this ceremony, and the place of the fourth, Mr. James Theal, unable to be with us tonight, being taken by Mr. Patterson. The mortgage ,the liquidation of which we are celebrating tonight was placed by this congregation exactly 19 years less one month ago, on the hall in which we are meeting now, and on the Manse, to the amount of $3,900.00. This was to consolidate indebtedness and to secure the necessary funds to acâ€" commodate the growing needs of the united congregations and to equip this building for Sunday School and other parish purposes. The Service as read by Mr. Watt, was as follows: Dear Friends: These members, each holding an unlighted candle formed a semiâ€" circle around a tall lighted candle in the centre, which represented the ever burning, living, Fire of God, from which we take our Inâ€" spiration. The other six candles represented Faith, Love, Loyalty, Zeal, Sacrifice and Service. Each obtained their light from the centre candle, and finally the mortgage was lighted by Loyalty and Zeal. As the mortgage burned, the conâ€" gregation rose and sang ‘"Praise God from Whom all Blessings Of the original trustees, nineteen years ago, only four are left, A. F. Hawke, T. R. Hunter, W. A. Mcâ€" Niven, and James Theal. These men, with E. U. Patterson repreâ€" senting Mr. Theal, along with the pastor, Mr. Watt and the two imâ€" mediate past presidents of the Woâ€" men‘s Association and Trinity Serâ€" vice Club, Mrs. J. O. Moore . and Mrs. A. V. Catton, took part in the ceremony of the burning of the mortgage. | _ The Annual meeting of Trinity |United Church was held in Trinity |Ha11 on Wednesday night, January | Sist, when the burning of the mortâ€" gage was the feature of the evenâ€" ing. The mortgage was placed at the time of Church Union when both the church and hall were renovated to make them ‘adaptable to the many activities of. the larger and growing congregation. During the intervening years; the Women‘s Association, assisted by the Trinity Service Club have worked hard to reduce the principal of the: mortâ€" gage each year. They were also generously assisted in this work by an old friend of the congregation, the late Mrs. Loughlin of Toronto, who lived for some time on Ontario Street. This year her secretary, Miss Irene Sherrin, sent a gift in remembrance of Mrs, Loughlin’s‘ work. t Trinity United Church Congregation Witness Burning Of The Mortgage On Sunday, February 1l1th, at 8 p.m. a debate will take place at St. Mary‘s Hall.

A social time was enjoyed, after which a delicious lunch was served by Miss Helen Wisnoski and her capable assistants. Mr, John Romak presented P.Q:. Wisnoski with a beautiful leather writing case on ‘behalf of the U.C.Y. of Grimsby. Things don‘t seem like they used to be. Mexico hasn‘t had a revoluâ€" tion in years. It seems a man wrong than when can‘t be wrong. Miss Elizabeth Laba and Mr. Tom Yakwchuk were elected as reporters. The meeting was closed with a prayer. The following officers for 1945 were elected: President, Mr. John Romak; Viceâ€"President, Mr. Nick Laba; Secretary, Miss Gloria Skryâ€" pka (for the second term); Treasâ€" urer, Mr. Tom Wisnoski; The U.C.Y. gathered Sunday afâ€" ternoon at St. Mary‘s Hall for their Annual meeting, Rev.

The financial report submitted by the Treasurer, Miss Drury, showed a healthy condition in the finances, with a substantial balance on hand after all obligations were paid, inâ€" cluding the mortgage.

Junior Church, and Fireside Meetings was also mentioned along with the exâ€" pansion of Sunday School work and the Ladies‘ Organizations. Following the ceremony, a memâ€" ber of each organization within the church gave a preview of their plans and ambitions for the coming year. ‘"Looking Ahead into 1945" was the theme of this part of the meeting, and each organization showed they were in a healthy conâ€" dition and awake to the possibiliâ€" ties of the future as they spoke of plans being laid and work to be acâ€" complished in the coming year. Ukrainian Church Y oung People Loyalty and zeal will accomplish this. The Mortgage was a bridge, enâ€" abling the congregation to pass over the difficult days, and as it has served its purpose we burn our bridge and go forward. These virtues, lived out in this congregation ,have been responsible for our cancelled mortgage; these virtues, if lived out in the days beâ€" fore us, will result in a still greatâ€" er advance in His work. Service is the result of an enâ€" lightened devotion. Sacrifice is the soul‘s answer to the Divine passion. Zeal is the human reaction to the Divine fire. Love, too, is enkindled only here. Loyalty demands a direct and constant contact with this fire.

The "cheaper china‘" came from Germany, Czechoslovakia and Japan and needless to repeat will no more clutter our stores. Canaâ€" dian domestic production took care of less than 15 per cent of the local demand, and for the past couple of years much of this has gone into war orders.

A donation has been made to the Cigarette Fund of $10.00, to the Polish Brownie handbook $5.00, to the Overseas gift project $5.00, and fees to the Provincial Headquartâ€" ers, $8.00.
