"Andrew . . . first findeth his brother Simon . . . and he brought him to Jesus." The Witness Of The « Church in The Conununity (By Rev. W. A. White, EJ).) In the early Christian Church the memibers were men and women who had a great vision of a Ohristian'e duty to Christ. This vision was so great that thep went everywhere witnessing to the great sipiritual power that had changed theia: lives. Throughout the ages every Church that has been a witness to that saane power has been a spiritual force in the community. That wit- nessing is as it were a lighthouse pointing men to the abundant life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The visdon that inspired those early Christian must inspire the church of today if it is to fulfil its great mission. The Church of Christ must be a living witness to the Father, God, who is always anxious to bear and share our burdens and who is ever ready to lift us to high- er <and haptpier Me. The Church of Christ should bear witness to the son of God, the Sav- iour of the souls of men. Our Lord Jesus Christ, in his teaching, prea- ching, and showed the true value of life and also of sacrificial service. Thus He brings us into contact with His Father; and His prayer life is worthy of our emulation. In our testimony to Christ's death and resuiiTection, the Church wit- nesses to the fact that, in Him, there is salvation and in "none other." Peace of mind, the joy of worrhip and the desire to serve are the out- come of finding Christ and accept injjj Him as oirfr pergonal Savioui and Lord. Chrits is the "Friend that sticketh closer than a brother." The Christian Chuich has always witnessed to the saving power of the Christ. It has witnessed to this fact by the great multitude of changed lives who were, and are, conwcrated to sacrificial service. The names of these Saints will always be remem- bered. I need not name them. The list is too great for our space. Hospitals, orphanages, and all manner of philthTopic work squeak oi the great influence of Jesus Christ upon the lives of men and women. Such thimgs are but the expression of Christ's love emanating from the lives of His followers in the world of today. Those whose lives have truly been transformed by the saving power ol the blood of th« Christ, give us i tangible proof of the transiforming power of the Holy Spirit. The lov- ing Christian spirit and their mani- fest desire to be of helv to others are proofs of the saving power ol the Christ. The Christian Churc>' witnesses to the world thwugh its memibers. It is in their happy and radiant lives that these witnesses bring honor to Jehovah and His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. My friends, your Church can only witness in your community through y«u. What are you going to do about it? Here are seven suggest- ions that will help you to be a good witness for your Church and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Dedicate a definite portion ol each day to Bible reading and prayer. 2 Take some scriptural text as your key for every day. 3 Determine what, in the light of CHirist's teaching, is right, and dare to do that 4 Watch for oportunlties to serve men in little ways. Such opportun- ities often op«»n up the way for 8 Do not be afwid to show your colors. Remember "Christianity is Ohnat's." Iif you are a Christian, men will expect to see Christ reveal- ed in your daily contacts. 6 Speak to men about the Saviour and invite them to your church. Prominent Vandeleur Residents Pass Away (By Vandeleur Reporter) Mrs. Robt. Fitzsimmons A long and active career closed on Saturday, Apuil 26th, when Marg- aret Ann Black, beloved wife of the late Robt. Pitosimmons, passed at her home on the townline of Arte- mesia and Euphrasia, in her 82nd year. Deceased was born near Shelbume, but lived moat of her life in Euph- rasia and on the present homestead for over 50 years. Her hustmnd predeceased her by about 20 years. Surviving are one son, Robert Sam- uel of Vandeleur, Charlotte, Mrs. I. Hilliard, oif Euphrasia and Dorothy (Dot), who was a devoted compan- ion to her mother in her decUning years. There are also six grand- children and 2 great grrandchildren. Mrs. Fitzsvnwnons will be remem- bered as the woman who, entirely unaided by man, horses or machin- ery, in her spare time over a period of 20 years, built a remarkable stone bridge 175 feet long over the Sau- geen River on the FitzsimTOon farm. It will long stand as a monument to the perseverance, ingenuity and thrift of one of our pioneer women wtho was not afraid of worik. niM i n iiiii i i nnmnm ii M i n i n i m iiii M i nn Change in Store Hours OPEN WEDNESDAY NIGHTS; CLOSED ALL DAY THURSDAY On and after May 1st, 1947, the retail store* In Flesherton will be open Wednesday Nights and closed all day Thursday, to remain in effect until further notide.

Summers, Snr., oldest resident of Vandeletix district, passed peacefully awoy at the home of her son, George, Sunday evening, April 27th, in her 93ird year. Deceased, whose maiden name was Louisa Lincoln, was born near Brock- ville and was married to the late Wm Summers about 72 years ago. They came to Vandeleur about 60 years ago and settled on the farm where she has resided over since. Mr. Sum- mers passed away 27 years ago. The family include Bert of Mark- dale, George of Vandeleur, Norman of Durham, Edward of Euphrasia, Olive, Mrs. Geo. Brown, of Owen Berkeley. Two predeceased are, Su- Sound, and Jane, Mrs. J. Ransome, of san, Mrs. Cornfield, and Wm. John. There are also 23 grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren. Mrs. Summers was a daughter of Rufus Lincoln, who was a nephew ol Braham Lincoln (Honest Abe), that great President of the U.S.A., and could recall his visit to her childhood home, and also remembered his as- sasination and other interesting in- cidents of that seemingly far distent past before slavery was abolished in the United States. Wide-spread pub- licity was given these two pioneei women, Wia. Summers and Mrs. Fitzsimmons, last autumn when mag- azines and radio commentators in Canoda and the U. S. paid tribute to their accomiplishments, and it is com- forting to know that the flowers were given and the words of praise spoken while they were still aible to hear, see and appreciate. It is a remark- able co-incidence that these pioneer women lived only about a mile and a half apart, in each family there were four generations, and they passed to their reward within 24 hours of each other. They rest from their labors, and their works do fol- low them. <«â- ' M m V i •^v* BEHIND the activity on this progressive farm stand the banking services and helpful fin- ancing of The Canadian Bank of Commerce.
