MOTHER'S DAY SERVICE AT ST. COLUMBA CHURCH On Sunday morning a large and reverent congregation assembled in St. Columiba United Church to par- ticipate in the service of Thanks^ giving, as suggested by the govern- ment. The Mother's Day order of service Vras followed in the Worship period, during which the Sunday School children delightfully rendered the piece "Around the Throne of God in Heaven". A minute's silenjce was observed in memory of thos« who have made the s'Uipreme sacri- fice. The minister. Rev. A. D. Pen- man, preached from the text "Hith- erto hath the Lord helped us." The Young People, under the Pre PricevJIe Service Largely Attended Priceville di.«trict turned out in large numbers Tuesday evening of last week for the VE-Day celebra- tions. A short service was held ai the Cinotaph at 8 o'clock. The Dox- ology was sung and Rev. A. D. Pen- man led in prayer followed with the sinjring of "O God of Bethel.'' Mr. W. D. Hallowell, the new Presbyter- ian student minister, was introduced by Rev. A. D. Penman, pastor of St. Columba United Church. The school children took the salute of the flag raising and "O Canada'' and "0 God Our Help in Ages Past' was sing and Mr. Hallowell gave the benediction. The Thanksgiving sehvice followed tiie open-air meeting in St. Columba United Church, when close to 400 people were in attendr.ncc to give thanks for the peace in Europe. In- vocation was led by Rev. Penman aand responsive reading of Psa'mi 46, followed with prayer by Mr. Hallow- ell. The chili rs of both churches pro- vided an anthem from Psialm 124. Mr. Hallowoll delivered a splendid addrtis, but lack of space forces us to just touch on some of his thoughts in his address, entitled "Our Nation This Day,' basSd on Psalm 3:i:12. "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the peoiple whom he hath chosen for His own inheritance.' Mr. Hallowell stated that we may depart from God in life and cease to own Him as Ruler. Referring to cit- izenship the speaker said that we often forget the Lord's Prayer when we say "Thy Kingdom come.'' We should serve our nation for the Kingdom and serve the Kingdom for nation's sake. Love of country is born of God, not nationalism. God was not known to any one particular race, tjhe gospel is for all mankinu. Did not Jesus love his nation well enough to die for if? He died foi your inheritance into the kingdom of eternal life and a way of living this day and always. Mr. Hallowell remarked that we sliould not look with too open a mind to the peace conference tables when man may map out a peace offensive that will set u,p a perfect world ? The mere signing of an agreement will not convert the war-like into doves, and neither will the earth be regener- ated by the termination of the pre- sent struggle. We might bear in mind, tomorrow lies the continued struggle for LIFE so great, and yet p**** * ** *- t* * tt' * * *tt tt < t ** ** * *** *********** ** tl*t *»* % MEN^S I !
