Was Held Here Sunday and Monday, When Large Congregations Turned Out to Celebrate Important Mile-' stoneâ€"Rev. Hugh Stewart of Strat- ford Had Charge of Sunday Services BAPTIST CHURCH DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY An important event in the life of the Baptist congregation of Durham took place on Sunday and Monday of this week when the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the congregation in Durham was most fittingly celebrated. Large congregations turned cut for both services Sunday, and at the even- ing service, when the Presbyterian church cancelled its services to j'oin with their Baptist brethren, an over- fiow congregation was in attendance. The services on Sunday were taken by Rev. Hugh W. Stewart, B. A., B. D., pastor of the Ontario Street Baptist church, .Stratford, and on both occa- sions he delivered forceful messages. Mr. Stewart’s appearance in Durham was a case for mutual pleasure. He) is the grandson of the late _ Rev. Alex. Stewart, the first Baptist minister in the town, who preached here over 50 years ago and later was a resident be- fore he passed away. These old associations made the grandson’s appearance one of more than passing interest, for there are still many living in the town and , vicinity who knew the late beloved pastor and were members of his congregation. It is quite natural that they would ex- tend a most hearty . welcome to his grandson, who is one of three who have followed their grandsire in the ministerial profession. During his re- marks, Mr. Stewart made feeling ref- erence to his father, though 77 years of age, is still preaching, and that beside himself, he has two bro- thers who are ministers in the Baptist church. This is a remarkable record in one family. The Sunday Services Both Sunday services were most im- pressive. The church was beautifully decorated with fall flowers and autumn leaves, and the choir which was never in better form, gave excellent service morning and evening. . Mr. Stewart’s text in the morning was “Beloved of God,” taken from John xvi: 27 , “For the Father Himself loveth you because you have loved me and believed that I came out from The speaker gave his sermon under three heads: Beloved of God was a glorious title, the reason as given by Jesus in the text, “because of love and faith in Him,” and, third, these very words Jesus might use today. The evening fheme was "The One Altogether Lovely,” taken from Psalm xxvii: 4, “One thing have I desired ........ to behold the beauty of the Lord.” First there was the art of beholding. then the true beauty of Jesus evident supremely in the Spirit, and the fact that he was “altogether lovely” com- pared with wordly descriptive beauty. Monday’s Programme The programme at the Monday ev en- ing meeting was a mixed one, consist- ing of solos by Mr. Wiggleworth of Stratford, who sang at both services on Sunday and gave an exceptionally well-rendered number, “Open the Gates of the Temple” on Monday by request. __ __ .

Especially in her juvenile interpretations, Mrs. Mc- Kenzie proved herself supreme, her best nuxhber in our opinion being the excerpt from Booth Tarkington’s “Pen- rod.” She was in turn mother, the stern father and the boy Penrod. Her dialect numbers, too, depicting the Ita- lian, Habitant, and Negro, were also good, while her heavier number, Pau- line J ohnson's "Qu’Appelle" was a wonderful tribute to her versatility. ” Albert Pequegnat of Stratford is no stranger to Durham audiences and en- hanced his reputation in several num- bers.

This is our to- day. Our fathers had it; and to them our today was their future. He spoke of the hardships of the early pioneers, and spoke also of the hardships. some have yet to contend with, but found solace in the thought that out of hard- ships were born our greatest men. ‘ Whatare we going to do in our to- day? That to the speaker was the important thing, rather than sighing for the so-oalled good days that are gone or those that are yet to come. What we did today would have an im- portant bearing on what was to come 75 years hence. Mr. Stewart said‘that to him the most important work in hand for us to- day was in the growing of souls. 1W should be. our main businessâ€"the rear- ing of a strong civilization, from which would spring great statesmen with great souls to lead pebple. The speaker spoke of the days or our forefathers when, with no cars or the modern methods of travel the churches were filled weekly with a zealous, worshipping congregation. Are we today following the line of least re- sistance and worshipping at the feet of ease, or are we to' follow our fore- bears and build for greater things ? Too often life was judged by the ease with which other persons seemed to go through it. The city dweller with his modern conveniences was sometimes thought to have the advantage, but it was a proven fact that the dweners on the farm lands, especially of ques- tionable fertility and ease of operation. had produced more worth-while citi- zens than those raised in the lap of luxury, who were not called upon to put forth efi‘ort to maintain the major- ity of their desires and needs. It was as easy to do good- as evil, and the speaker closed his address with an ap- peal that we make our Today a worthy one. Rev. W. Spencer, the pastor, was chairman, and at the close thanked all who had taken part in the anniver- sary, as well as those who had turned out at all three meetings, It was a notable day for the “ local Baptists, and was enjoyed as well by many members of the sister congregations.
