Ruth led in prayer and "Jesus Christ is Risen To- day" was sung. Lois Daw led in the study focusing on the Bible and the tradition surrounding its interpretation. We were served lovely refreshments, and Just enjoyed being with Chrissie in her home once again. I understand Chrissie even prepared some of the goodies.

For those of our readers who looked for this column last week and couldn't find it, sorry about that, but it, appeared i in the Star Marketplace on Thursday, and I realize that some of you do not receive that issue, so I'm afraid' you missed out. We were saddened over the weekend to hear that our neigh- bour Tony Linders passed away at Oshawa General Hospital on Saturday evening, as a result of a severe stroke he suffered on Thursday. We extend sincere sympathy to his wife Trudy and family at this time. Doug and I enjoyed Easter Sunday with our aunt, Mrs. Ruth Purdy of Orangeville, at- tending church with her, dining at the Stone Crock, and drop- ping in to see Jean and Cecil Vicars of Fergus. It was a good day. Sorry we missed the Easter Sunday breakfast at Burns. Un- derstand it went over well with about 86 in attendance. Holy Communion was celebrated at Morning Worship.
