Stephens Heads Osprey Sunday School Association The annual convention of Osprey Township Sunday School Association was held on Friday afternoon, Junt 2ind, in Mclntyre United Church with a registration of 50. The schools represented were, Badjeros, Ma.Ywell, Mclntyre, and Wareham United, Maple Grove Bapti^, Fever- sham Salvation Army, Mt. Pleasant -Mennonite. Rev. O. W. Holmes pre- sided for the programme, the theme of which was "The Churei from Sun- day to Saturday." Following the singing of the open- ing hymn, Rev. D Sargeant conduc- ed a devotional period, basing his re- marks upon Phil. 3: 13 and 14 "This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are before in Christ Je- sus" Mr Sargeant stressed that the ihree-fold secret of successful leader- ship consists of (1) Whole hearted concentration, (2) Forgetfulness of the past, our blunders, losses, pa^ injuries, successes and' ans: (3). A. forward look with our aim the winn- ing of every child in our Sunday School for Christ. On behalf of the Mclntyre Church. ^ a welcome was xtended by Mr. Holmes to the guest speaker. Rev. J. ; F. A. Bewell, of Barrie. and to all those meeting in Convention. -A. splendid repprt of the 1944 Con- j vention submitted by Mr. D. Ste- , phens, was read by the present sec- I retarj-, Mrs. Wilfred Inkster. and , adopted as read. Mr. D. Stephens. President of the -Association for 1945. in reporting for i ihe Execurive, emphasized the im- yard. in a grave heaped over with j P"5"^nce of Sunday School work. He cncluded by stating that we are drifting, we have lost faith in God, but if we clasp hands with God we can do great things."' .Mr. D. Stephens. Rev. D. Sargeant, Mrs. H. Hannon and Mrs. Geo. Mc- Donald were appointed as a Nomina- ting Committee, and Messrs. Ed Ped- lar and Wilfred Inkster as a Resolu- tions Committee. -•V. musical number "The Beautifu.' Garden of Prayer', was sweetly rend- ered by Edith and Mar:e Blakey. In his address. "Five Musis in Christian Education," Rev. Bnwell pointed out that, as with a gardener growing both tulips and gladioli in one bed. so. in dealing with our boys and girls, we must know our ground. It is imperative that the Church should reach every individual in the community. In our soul-winn- in as in almost any other work, we get returns only as we give our earn- est effoiT; and attention to the work. Five essentials, he pointed out are. -A. joyous Christian e.^erience. with religion an attractive thing because it is a happy thing: a heroic thing. with its symbol the Cross, far nobler than the flag of any country, and more worthy of loyal recruits: (21 Prayer â€" the speaker deplored the fact that so few really pray now that people are embarrassed when aske<i to lead in prayer or even to say grace. He urged the training of children to pray; (31 Decision â€" ^prob- ably the greatest privilege of the S. S. worker is to help each member of his class to definitely decide to fol- low Christ; (5) Missionary minded- ness â€" we have the biggest task in the world to do in the extending of Christ's kingdom. In the discussion which followed this fine address, it was generally agreed that if dad and mother were regularly in their places in Sunday School each Sunday . there would not lie the same great problem which prevails ef adolescents dropping out of Sunday School. Hymns for Sunday School and how flowers, which the grateful and sor- rowing Dutch people brought." -Another ktttr from Lieut. J. .A. Palmer, Lawrence's platoon officer, wrote as follows: "My Sergeant, Lawrence and two other lads were giving covering fire for an advance and during this Lawrence was wounded in the left arm and was ordered back but refused to go and insisted on going on. It was only a minute until he was hit in the head and died instantly. His courage and fortitude was a fine example to us all. He was a swell lad and an .Al soldier.' Rev. Westcott took as the subject of his remarks Job 14 â-  14 "If a man die shall he live agrain," and deliv- ered a most comforting message to the sorrowing family. The hj-mns used in the service were "Unto The Hills." "Rock of -Ages â-  and ".Abide With Me." The choir also sang an appropriate number. The large con- gregation showed the evidence of sympathy which is held for the family. Going Home To England ,/ Five years ago a little girl arrived ;n town from England, just when the threat of bombings was at its height. This was Miss Doreen Hagan of "scwcasile. lor the first two years she resided with Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Keruahan at Flesherton and for the past three years with Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Dugieid at Durham. This sum- mer she has completed her fourth I'orm high school examinations. Now she e.\.pects to shortly leave for her home in England, leaving behind many warm friends, both here and at Durham, who wish her the best of luck in the years to come. Doreen spen; t:'.e tirst of this week with Mr. and Mr^-- Kernahan, bidding good-bye .. f.er iriends here. In the "good old days'' it was just "over the fence gossip." Today it IS radio entertainment. to teach them va^ .veil taken by Mrs. McLachlan, Badjeros. Besides giving some principles in the teacik- ing of hymns, Mrs. McLachlan denv- onstrated by teaching a new hymn to six juniors. Sketches were given al- so of several well-known hymns and their writers. "The Church and the Public School Co-operating" was the subject of the next discussion, wherein the includ- ing of Rehgious Instruction in the school curriculum was highly ap- proved, since the co-operation of every agency, home, school, churh, is needed, that our boys and giria may grow in wisdom and stature and in favour with (Jod and man. Rev. Mr. Bewell then addressed the Convention on ''Total Evangel- ism â€" Go ye into all the week". He expressed regret that the Church 19 letting go its authority. If a chUii were absent from school,'' be aaicL, "the Turant Officer would be af^.r him. The Session has the ri^rt and the authority to go to the eBurck member who is absenting himself from church services and niinfnd him that he is being disloyal to the vows he has made to God. We mus* come to realize that .the cboreL is not something to be trifled with, but represents the mosx essential thing in life, the winning power at God to establish His Kingdom." Htt stressed the need of Repentance and Belief and urged his listeners to use the same method which Jesus used, that of personal contact and individual invitation in winning fol- lowers to Christ. "Although none of us are as good Christians as we should be,"' he said, "let us use the Christianity we have got and it will grow. We have put nearly all oar faith in human power. Jesus work- ed through human lives willing tc conform to Him. Let us be conoenv- ed about our common task for our God and for our nation.'' The re- soluions Committee in submitting it» report, suggested that an effort be made to have Convention held the first -week in July, rather than in June that the younger members of our congregations might attend, schools being then closed. The following were elected to of- fice for the coming year: President, Mr. Dougald Stephens; Vice-Presi- dent. Rev. D. Sargeant: Secretary- Treasurer. Mrs. W. E. Inkster: Mis- sionary Superintendent. Mrs. Geo. McDonald; Boys' Work. Rev. 0. W. Holmes: Girls' Work. Mrs. H. Haiv- non; Childrens' Work. Miss Mabel Ross: Cradle Roll, Mrs. W. C. Me- Cutcheon; Adult Department. Mr. Ed Pedlar. The Convention closed with pray- er that the Spirit of God may de- scend upon the great army of work- ers in His Church that we may help bring in His kingdom. The year 194*5 will mark the For- tieth .Anniversary of the organizing of Osprey Sunday School .Associa- tion, and it is hoped that something outstanding may be accomplished in this great work.
