Rev, work of God's Kingdom. much appreciated selections, The following letters show the high esteem in which the deceased ministers were held by those who knew them-- Delta, October 7th. 1981 A memorial window to the late Rev. S. C. Philp will honor the name of a man and minister worthy indeed of tribute. I knew him first on the Weston circuit where it was my privilege and joy to be associated with him as junior minister. The high estimate I formed-of him in such in- timate contact was cherished through the succeeding years. Mr. Philp was a man of fine heart and brain. In social fellowship he was not as much given to demonstra- tion as some, but his cordiality en- deared him to those with whom he mingled and he won friends and held their appreciation and devotion by the qualities' that were revealed to those who knew him best. I recall with great delight the fam- ily life of his home, and remember the fine spirit that was fostered among the children he loved. He en- couraged the happiness of his family and his intimate interest in the life of his own household made him welcome in the homes of the people. He was warmly in touch with life and the consideration of kindness shown to me as a young man, was but what was shown to others: As a minister, Mr. Philp cherished high ideals as to the pastor himself and the life of the people to whom he ministered. With a high sense of personal honor, he announced the standards he faithfully exemplified. He could not tolerate pretence or in- sincerity. As a preacher Mr, Philp was a man with a message, he prepared well and he preached well. His expositions of Scripture and his striking use of it in his sermons fed his congregations with bread. A clear thinker with a retentive memory and fluent speech, he was listened to with interest and attention. His sermons made an im- pression, people talked about them, they felt their power, he never tried to entertain, one might almost say he was too serious a preacher for that: he spoke the words of truth and sober-" ness, yet with all there was a bright- ness and humanness in his pulpit ut- terances, even sometimes humor was an effective feature. : Mr. Philp was & good man. His, record was that of a useful minister. While his memory is cherished, and a wide circle of friends loved him as | their pastor, to one who knew him, it) is a matter of gratification that by a discussion will be "Making Farm Life Worth While." : Specially interested persons are invited to attend these sessions.

I keenly regrét that anniver- sary work in Toronto makes it im- possible for me to be with you. While I was pastor. at Trinity Church, I became closely associated with your father and mother, I was always charmed with the youthful christian spirit of your mother. She was a magnetic personality, attract- ing us all to the highest ideals of wifehood, motherhood, and womanly activity in church and community life. Never once did I find her depressed cr defeated in her task in home or church. Your honored father was one of my cherished friends. Trinity Church members loved him because of the breadth of his sympathy, and the wise guidance he gave, in his own genial way to the church in times of stress. The mutuality of love between your father and mother, in their old age was a benediction to us all. Your father is known throughout the official records as the Rev. Samuel C. Philp, Junior; to distinguish him from his father, the Rev. Samuel C. Philp. The two names take us back 93 years in our church history, when your grandfather went to Cobourg College in 1838 to prepare for his energetic career. Your grandfather preached at Woodstock, Chatham, Brampton, Georgetown, Lindsay, Berlin, and in many other places. He was eleven times elected Financial Secretary of his district. Your revered father went to College in 1856 and was re- ceived as a probationary minister in 1857. He served with distinction at St. Marys, Clinton, Berlin, St. Thomas Port Stanley, Wallaceburg, Petrolia, Cooksville and many ether important charges. He finally superannuated at Prince Albert, where he also served so acceptably. Rev. John Carroll, our church historian, tells us. that your grandfather was a power for good even before he entered the ministry. And your own precious father and mother, after their superannuation, were also equally an influence for good for many years after their re- tirement from the ranks of the active ministry. May I express my gratification that your family covering nearly one hundred years of our church life, is being honored at Prince Albert. If we can catch the spirit of the noble religious leaders and carry it | forward into our United Church, then such memorials will become creative of a still nobler Church.

The Port Perry athletes who finished a' distant third last year had a splendid team in the competition and made their presence felt all during the afternoon. The winners amassed 50% points as com- pared with Whitby's total of 48 for second place. Bowmanville was third with 40% points and Uxbridge, a new entry in the field, was fourth with 27 points. It was thought early in the day that the meet would have to be abandoned, but shortly after eleven o'clock, it was decided to carry on. Although rain fell heavily early in the afternoon and rendered the track very heavy, re- markably fast times were made in the track event and several new records were set. The field events were also J closely contested as a number of the old records were broken. It would be | hard to pick out an outstanding athlete on the day's performance, but it might well be said that each and every athlete both boy and girl gave of his or her best for the school they represented. In the awarding of the champion- ship, a first won three points, a second two points, and a third, one point. Each of the winners received a ribbon for winning, while the athletes placing highest in the junior and senior de partments will receive a gold medal. Port Perry as winner of the meet will be presented with a handsome un donated by R. N. Bassett, of Whitby. | The officials in charge of the meet were «L, W. Dippell, president; Mr. R. G.
