Barrowclough (intended for last week) Saturday night's long storm of thunder and lightning lightning didn't promise too pleasant a day for Hope Township's United Church service at Bowman's Woods on July 7th. But, by 10:30, the sun was shining and this familiar and lovely spot was being filled with a long line of cars from all over the township. Those who preferred preferred shade gathered under the enormous maple tree which sheltered them all, with room left for those who preferred the sun, if they wished to change. Lloyd Kellogg, chairman of the summer service committee, committee, welcomed all for this year's second service and announced announced that the next on July 14th would be at the Osland home at Canton, with Lynda King as guest speaker. This service was in charge of the AOTS men's club, with Allin Osborne conducting. The speaker was Dr. Mac Freeman who has been coming back for 27 years since his pastorate here, to conduct an annual service with old and new friends. Everyone was delighted delighted to see him and his wife, Eleanor. A short time ago there was a happy 40th wedding anniversary at his home, with several attending attending from here. The topic of his sermon for thought was called, striving or just surviving. surviving. It was a powerful argument argument for learning how to listen. You cannot strive by yourself, striving is interpersonal. interpersonal. Learning to listen is as fundamental as breath ing. Each one is anxious to be heard and must learn to listen. The men's club choir which included Clarence Nichols, John Groeneveld, Dieter Franke, Roland Bowman, Bowman, Bruce Hendry, Russell Baker, Roy McHolm, Lloyd Kellogg, George Tu fiord, Dan McDonald and Bernie Mueller, sang "I have heard the voice of Jesus say" and "Let us adore Him, God is in His temple." The offering was received by David Kellogg Kellogg and John Connelly. Morley Bickle, with portable organ, was organist for the morning. By request, the service ended with the hymn, "Blest be the tie that binds," a fitting conclusion for this gathering of close friends from what were once seven communities., Visitors were welcomed, including Shelley and Joe Renaud, with Murray and Jean Payne. The large crowd in attendance appreciated this fine service, presented by the men's club and the visiting visiting hour which followed during during refreshments. Friends of Bishop and Mrs. Marsh were delighted to hear and see their grandson, grandson, Mark Rosewell on TV last week. He is home from China where he has been studying Mandarin and has been there several years. He does some acting in theatre there and is popular. A striking contrast to his fellow fellow actors because of his 6 foot height and blonde hair, he is very popular for his fluent Chinese and clever acting. .
