The Rev. Dr. Mervyn Russell was minister for the service with special speaker the very Rev. with the company president. According to Sue, the best advise Mrs. Hamilton offered her was: "take care of your clients, the big insurance companies can take care of themnselves". Hamiltons Insurance Service is proud of their clients AND company rela- tions. Many of their clients are third generation -grand- parents to grandchildren. The Halifax Insurance Company originally contract- ed with the Hamiltons in 1947, and after 50 consecu- tive years, will be part of the celebration.

During the offerlng they sang "Spirit of God." The very Rev. Dr. Lee, a former Moderator. of the United Church of Canada, gave a challenging sermon entitled "The Future of the Church."
