The. speaker on ,this occasion was Bey. Dr George Doney, Toronto, sncretary' of Home Missions for the United Church of Canada. The church, the firat Meth- odist church ln Upper Canada, was reslored in 1937 and an- nuafly ince Ihat lime, bas been the scene ofa pilgriniage which draws United Church people from a radius of hundreda of miles. During recent years, the pilgrimage bas taken place on extremely hot day&, but Sun- day wam considerably cooler and overcast. Wbile lhe church itscîf is o! historic interest, tic pilgrim- age is held to mark the drawn- ing of 16 young people who were cromsing Hay Bay in 1814 to attend an evcning service at the church wbcn their boat capsized in a sudden squali. Dr. Dorey took bis text from Hebrews wherein there is a promise that those who under- take a pilgrimagc in the service of God shall find happiness. Life is still a piigrimage, Dr. Dorey said. The human race today his accomplished mucb in a scientific way ta mitigate poverty, bunger and misfor- tune, and thinks it can also "hclp man to fi.nd bis destiny." He hedged agreement with this view dciaring that science bas many things ieft ta accomplisb and that the human race now bas a deep sense o! insecurity. Despite the difference in the ages wben the Bible came oui and that oftoday, there is much that the Bible can stili teach the people of today.
