Recess for Summer The regular meeting of the Hail- eybury Chapter I.0.D.E. was held at the home of Mrs. D. Hogan on Monday, June 12th. Following the minutes, the outcome of the June Ball was reported upon by Mrs. L. Umphrey. It had proved a huge success financially and had been thoroughly enjoyed by all who at- tended. This was due in no small measure, not only to the hard work of the conveners, but also to the following: Mr. L. Umphrey for giving so untiringly of his time prior to the Ball, seeing that the Curling Club was in order, etc., etc. Mr. F. Reavelt for his work at the Club. Mr. J. Leishman who took com- and Mr. S. Allcorn. Mr. J. Gauv- reau who acted as doorman and . parking. Miss M. Plaunt and Miss Anglican Priest for Fifty Years Serving His God and Fellow Man Fifty-eight years of service to his church, fifty of them as an ordained priest is the proud record held by Canon H. A. Sims, who was honored by the congregation of St. John's Anglican church at New Liskeard, Sunday June llth, at a reception held after the morning service. Canon Sims preached at. the morning service, on the words, "Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature'. Stating that his religion has been the Book of Common Prayer and the Hymn Book, he stressed the fact that joy and hap- piness are found in the service of the Lord, and that many people need to "snap out of" an attitude ' of self pity and self righteousness. He also said that as one grows older the feeling of being needed and wanted becomes stronger. 'At the reception Rev. A. L. Cha- bot, rector of St. John's, paid tri- bute to Canon Sims, who although he retired ten years ago, is still called on to assist in numberless ways all over the Diocese. Follow- ing this, Reg. Stevens, Warden, for the congregation and on their be- half, presented him with five Gold- en Sovereigns, one for each decade of his ordained service. Born in Portsmouth, England, on February 8, 1881, Canon Sims join- ed the Church Army in 1903 and was put in charge of the Hereford Dioscesan Mission. In 1904 he was transferred to Headquarters in London where he served for four years. Then in July, 1908, he ar- rived in Canada and went directly to the Silverwater Mission in Man- itoulin Island. Three years later he was ordained as Deacon and then as Priest. His entire service in Canada has been in his beloved North and all but two months of it, in the Algoma Diocese. From Manitoulin, he came to New Liskeard in 1914 and the fol- lowing year went to Cobalt. Six years later he went to St. Paul's church in Fort William and after six years there he was trans- ferred to St. John's in North Bay, where he remained until 1937, go- ing then to Kirkland Lake. In 1941 he was made a Canon and in 1947 went to Chapleau. Although he retired in 1950 on the advice of his physician, Canon Sims is proud of the knowledge that in all the years of his church service, he has never missed an appointment or engagement, through illness. He has a long and distinguished record of service to his church, serving on the execu- tive committee of the Algoma Di- ocese, and as chairman of- the Council for Social Service. He has represented the Diocese on the General Synod, the Provincial Sy- nod, on the Executive Committee of the Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada and as Rural Dean of Temiskaming. Sitting on the Committee for Re- vision of the Prayer Book, he sponsored the resolution that authorized the revision of the Pray- er Book to its present Day form. Although so active in his church work, he still found time for parti- cipation in community affairs and a sports program as well. He join- ed the Masonic Order while in Co-|: balt and the Sons of England in New Liskeard, was a Kiwanian in Fort William and a Rotarian in North Bay. He was on the School Board in Cobalt and acted as chair- man on the boards in Fort Wiliam in 1923 and in North Bay in 1925. He started a church basketball team in North Bay and through the years participated in curling, badminton, tennis and soccer. In 1921 he invented the game of disc- ing which has since become quite popular. Canon Sims organized the first For your free copy of Rock ot Orillia Haileybury, Ont.

Mrs. Sims died a number of years ago. When the pulpit of St. An- drew's Presbyterian church in New Liskeard was left vacant by the sudden death of Rev. E. J. Kerr, Canon Sims filled it for nine months until another minister could be secured. Born and educated in Toronto, Gerald Bales received his training at the Royal Conservatory of Music.
