Churches were filled with worshippers - and al- tars were laden with vegeta- bles and fruits of the harvest season. It is well that our Pil- grim Fathers instituted the day of Thanksgiving. It gives us a special time in which to take stock of our blessings and to thank God as a nation. We - here in Canada have much to be thankful for!

Lawrence and Gwen Malcolm welcomed a large crowd for this special day! Rev.
