Nestleton Sunday Services Presbyterian133rd Anniver- sary In the Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning the con- gregation was priviledged to observe the 133rd anniver- sary. Miss Dorothy Bulmer, Dea- coness mentioned the visitors, the Sonya Smiling Samaritan Choir and Reverend Fred Swann of Oshawa a former minister who was the guest speaker. Following the reading of Psalm 37:1-11 Reverend Swann illustrated an interest- ing story for the children by using a Hi-Fi record. He explained that "Hi" means "top" and "Fi" means fidelity or "top quality". Electronic equîpment in a sound proof room are used to obtain these almost perfect records. We are made in God's image but we must have a living faith to be His children and accept his guidelines. For the New Testament reading Reverend Swann read Mathew 5:1-12. This portion is known as the "Beatitudes". Using Verse 5 "Blessed are the Meek for they shall inherit the earth", the minister chose "The Meek" for the theme of his message. It is a well known fact that most leaders had to be aggressive to succeed. We remember Alexander the Great, Caesar, Napoleon and Hitler. The meek were consid- ered weak, sub-servient, anemic. For the Christian to be meek is to be gentle, to speak softly, to have forbear- ance and quietly submit to God's will. God suffereth long and is kind. To be meek is to show humility. All that we are or hope to be is dependent on God's Grace - Amazing Grace. Bow in humility may we say "Take my life and Let it be Consecrated, Lord to Thee" and as Paul said may we be able to say "I have fought a good fight." If we have an attitude of loyalty and trust in God, disillusionment will cease to be and we shall grow in Grace. Offering was received by Mr. George Scott and Mr. Richard Davison. The choir in their ministry of song, sang that old favorite, "How Great Thou Art" as a fitting conclusion to a most impressive service. Reverend Swann pronounc- ed the Benediction and gave the blessing on the serving of food. The ladies served a salad luncheon with dessert and a fellowship hour followed. United Church In the United Church it was Conference Sunday and the Sunday School reopened for the year. Reverend Parson's sermon "God's Holy Purpose" told of Psalm 119 being the largest chapter in the Bible with 176 verses. There are 22 divisions with 8 lines in each. It is an acrostic with each of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet represented. The law of Israel or the Torahs is read systematically each year as it has been for 600 years B.C. The Jews worshipped the Torah instead of the God who inspired it. Modern Christians too often, treat the Bible as the Book we trust and dust. Jesus came to write the ten commandments in our hearts. They are not just rules and regulations to obey. The first four deal with man's relation- ship to God and the last six with man's relationship to man. We must choose to worship the Lord with all our might and treat our neighbors as ourselves. Marnwood Resident Honored at Reception On Her 100th Birthday Mrs. Ethel Knight celebrated her 100th birthday on Tuesday, September 12th with a reception at Marnwood on Elgin Street.
