LaFlair, and FIRST BAPTIST ey Anniversary Services' Sunday Prof. MoCrimmon, McMas- ter University, Preac her, The anniversary of the First Bap-! tist church was fittingly observed by special esarvices on Sunday. The church was beautifully decorated with flowers and ferns and special music was rendered by the choir. The services were conducted by Rev. J. 8. LaFlair, the pastor, who briefly reviewed the progress of the church during the year and em- phasized the importance of the anni- versary. Rev. A, L. McCrimmon, M.A., LL.D., professor of McMaster University, Toronto, was the special vreacher at 'both the morning and evening services. There were large congregations, many students from Queen's university being in attend- ance, . At the morning service, Dr. Mc- Crimmon spoke on '"The Mission of the Church in this Age." "Befora the war," sald he, "the church was being criticized, but it always will be under criticism. Some claimed that the church was not an essential, but what are the facts? You find in overy department of church life greater activity than ever before. What ebout the church and i's func- tioning and the relationship of the individual soul to God? We are brought to the conclusion from a survey of the past and the presen: that the greater work in which a man can engage is to bring the wandering souls back to God. There is no one who would dare bring his suffering soul into the presence ot Cod. We need a mediator, someone who will stand between us and God. If this were not so there would be no need for a Saviour, and this earth of curs would rot, and men would ba going down to Christless graves. But God sent Jesus Christ into the wor d as God himself. When the scient looks about the world he finds things in the state of a forgiven soul. Christ- fanity begins in the heart of man and reaches to the ends of the earth. What did Lloyd George say regard- ing the failure of the Genoa confer- ence? He sald thet "Christianity bad not focused its power there." Dr. McCrimmon saw in the world conditions growing out of the war greater need for Chrisianity. Whilo it was true that in all vocations there was instability and uncertainty, this was not 0 in Christianity. "It was recessary that men should obtain a Proper estimate of the profession they were choosing. What 1s it worth? It must be judged in so far as it Hfts the soul of man t9 God. The whole financial, economic and industrial life of man 1s merely a means to an end, the commissariat, oe 50 to speak, of life. The religious profession {3 the means to a higher exietence for the development of man In mind and body. It w:ll not do to live in the past. We are in a dyna- mic ass. Fier: thing must be worth something and must do something whether i be in science, theology or in politics. The call of the ministry [1s to meet a need. It is the call of God and we must build on a founda- tion of righteousness and truth." "The world war taugh* us to look at the reality of things, and while there is a time for meditation you have got to live out these things in the life of mankind. God is seen in ithe progress of solence and industry. You not only have the gospel but You must read it into the things of everyday Mfe, for it ig the men and end women to whom God speaks. This was eo of the prophets, who were not only reporters, but lived out the gospel in their own lives. Today it is most essential that the mind, heart and will be commtited to the life of Christ." Dr. McCrimmon's evening subject was "The New Birth," which was a continuation, or enlargement of the morning theme, the object being to indiacte the ways in which the right relations between a soul and its creator can be restored, % The choir, ably led by §. A. Saifp. bury, gave generous and much ap preciated assistance at both services, In the morning there was a duet by Mrs. G. Harold Clarke and James Saunders, and an anthem in which Mrs. G. Stenton, Miss Ruth LaFlair and Mr. Saunders took the special parts. The evening programme in- anthem by choir, with obligato hy Miss Ruth LaFlair. Rev. D. Laing, former pastor assisted at the morn. ing service, and is to give a histor- ical sketch of the church at the pray- er service Wednesday evening. The special offering was a generous one. ------ Good Cause for Thanks. 'An' old deacon, having occasion to spend a night at an hotel, was as- signed a room containing three single beds, two of which already had occupants. Soon after the light was extinguished, one of those gan to snore so loudly as to prevent the deacon from getting to sleep. The tumult increased as the night wore away, until it became abso- lutely fearful. Some two. or three hours after midnight the snoner turned himself in bed, gave a hid- * Would Call Again. A colored woman entered a photo- grapher's the other day and sald: * 'Does yo' take chillun?' "* 'Yes, ma'am, certainly,' said the er. * 'How much?' : " 'Two dollars a dosen, ma'am size. : \ PROBS: --Tuesday,.nortaerly winds, colder. Just Four Short Weeks--Then Christmas !
