SILVER JUBILEE ANNIVERSARY UNITED CHURCH, MORGANSTON Large Congregations--Inspiring Sei vices -- Congratulatory Messages Read--Fowl Supper and Entertainment Great Success--Hearty Spirit of Co-operation Manifest. Sunday, October 27th, 1935, was a red-letter day at Morganston United Church, where the 25th- anniversary of the opening and dedication of the present edifice was observed by special services, afternoon and evening. Old friends and former members came back home for the day and friends from neighbouring points made capacity congregations at both ser- Rev. C. W. Barrett of Brighton, a former Pastor, preached in the afternoon, and Rev. W. P. Wbodger, B.A., of Cobourg United Church, was the coning preacher. Both brought rich inspirational and impressive messages for the occasion. The Church was nicely and appropriately decorated for these services. Kindly hands had brought plants and flowers to add the sacrament of beauty to the worship hour. A large augmented choir lead in the splendid service of song. Special anthems rendered, and along with the solo numbers contributed by Miss Margaret fubbs of Toronto, were greatly appreciated and added much that was inspiring and impressive to the occa- An interesting feature of the afternoon service was a resume of the history of this appointment b Pastor, Rev. M. L. Hinton. Thi sent church was opened and dedicated in 1910 and its first Pastor was the late Rev. A. H. Foster, (It was he win was to have preached on this occa sion, but the Master called him home a few weeks ago.) The Church property was deeded to the congregation by Mr. Marcus Massey, who was present on Sunday and. along with many friends and members of 25 years ago, rejoiced at the culmination of this happy event. The measure of success and progress which has attended a quarter of a century of humble service and devotion was a matter of general gratitude. The spirit and heartiness manifested by the congregation during these celebrations speaks well for the adventure made in building a new ^^vfice for religious adherence 25 Many congratulatory messages were read from those unable to be present, coming from as far distant as Kansas City. Many distant friends remembered their home Church by substantial cheque Messages and donations bro- celebration. ught a large measure of joy and encouragement. Much interest was evident in the beautiful birth-day cake prepared for the occasion, which had a place directly in front of the pulpit for the Sunday services and Monday celebration. The Sunday services will be long remembered for the rich fellowship which they afforded, for the inspii ing messages which they brought, and for the spirit of good-will and co-operation so manifest. The fowl supper and entertaim on Monday night. was a splendid cess. The ladies, as is their cus made ample provision for the physical man and more than 500 people partook of the bountiful repast. The program was of a varied and interesting nature. Richardson's orchestra from Campbellford rendered several most acceptable numbers. Mr. A. E. Hir-cock and a male quartette from Cobourg delighted everybody. Recitations by Mrs. Dunk of Brighton and Miss Marjorie Mutton of Shiloh were greatly enjoyed, and piano selections by Misses Hardy, Darling and Massey were well received. All togethi program was one that- gave great pleasure and satisfaction and was pronounced the best ever given in connection with an anniversary celebration there. A unique feature of the evening centred around the birthday cake.' To the oldest member of the congregation, and to one who had celebrated her golden wedding anniversary year ago, Mrs. Marcus Massey, w assigned the task of lighting the 25 candles during an orchestral render ing. The candles were blown out by Mrs. William Sprung, who has been treasurer of the Ladies' Aid since its organization, before the present Church was built. Mrs. Fred Hardy cut the cake. The top layer was presented to the esteemed Pastor of the congregation and his wife as a token of love and hearty appreciation of their services. The second layer was bought by a gentleman going to England, who was anxious to show his friends there one of the products of the Canadian housewife. The balance of the cake was offered for sale to the members and friends of the congregation. AH were enthusiastic in , their praise of the cake and to Mrs. Walter Carr, who made it. and Miss Irene Beggs, who decorated it, came hearty congratulations. Pastor and people are to be con- j gratulated on such successful achieve-marked their Silver Jubilee Colborne United Church Successful Anniversary Colborne United Church was filled to capacity, morning and evening, Sunday, October 27th, 1935, on the occasion of the Anniversary Services. The services were conducted by the Pastor, Rev. Roy H. Rickard, B.A., M.R.E., who gave an appreciated and interesting address in the. morning, at which service Rev. Mr. Pritchard assisted. In the evening, the President of the Bay of Quinte Conference, Rev. Jas. Semple, Th. D., of Belleville, delivered an eloquent address taking for a I theme "Re-think the Church."

Special music was rendered at both services by the choir, who were I assisted by the Belleville Radio Malel Quartette, whose selections were much appreciated. Miss Florence Clarke was organist.

A beautiful Autumn day enhanced the pleasure and satisfaction felt by the large congregations which attended anniversary services at Grafton, (Sunday. October 27th, 1935, when the Rev, A. J. Johnston of Emmanuel College, Toronto, was the special preacher fcr the day at morning and Rev. Mr. Johnston was heard here for the first time and his services were greatly appreciated by large and attentive congregations of St. Andrew's people and their friends from sister and neighbour congregations. The choir rendered special music for the occasion, and Mr. Carswell of Trenton, a former member, sang appropriate and much appreciated solos at both services. These special services marked another milestone in the long history of the congregation. It is a far day from the time the first services were held in a blacksmith and carpenter shop which stood on the present site of the Sunday School hall. Written into the story of St. Andrew's congregation is a chapter of Grafton's and the Township's early history. Largely around the pioneer Scottish families and their first descendants is bound up inseparably the history of the early observance of religious ordinances here and the organization and building of their first church. It was they who took the first steps towards the building of a suitable place of worship, who raised the funds by subscription and self-denial, and who carried on courageously and devotedly the work begun. We recall the Frasers, the Johnstons, the Rosses, the Monroes, the Carruthers, and others of the first families. We recall too the sacrificing labours and devotion of the early ministers, Rev's. Miller, Alexander and Reid, and later the Rev. P.M. Duncan of Colborne. It was Chief Monroe who deeded the land for the Church, and it was Rev. John Smith who became the first permanent Pastor, and who ministered to a. devoted people for more than forty'years. These early events in the history of the congregation were no doubt remembered by some who took part in the United Church Y. P. U. On Oct. 31st, 1935, the Y.P.U. of Colborne United Church staged a masquerade for the benefit of the younger members of the Sunday School. A large number of gaily dressed youngsters were present. With the Rev. R. H. Rickard acting as master of ceremonies, the children engaged in innumerable games. Prizes were awarded to the following: Comic dressed girl;--Evelyn Arkles. Fancy dressed girl--Jean Coyle" Fancy Dressed boy--Gladys Downing Comic dressed boy--Billy Martin Several of the adults also came in disguise and they helped to make the entertainment very enjoyable. On Monday, Nov. 4th, 1935, the regular meeting of the Y.P.U. was held. Following the business discussion, the worship period was conducted by Miss Vera Arkles. Elson Grant then told the story of the Prodigal Son. A skit, depicting the modern version of the Prodigal Son was presented by four members of the Union.

The defeat of Henry Bourassa, that old political war-horse, the severance' o<f the long line of Guthries, and the defeat of Tummon in South Hastings, and Bowen in Durham (after 50 years in Conservative column) are among the surprise packages of the recent election results.
