Part of the service was taken from the Anglican Book of Com- mon Prayer and part taken ac- cording to the tradition of the other churches. The Rector, Rev. S. A. R. Wood, officiated. One of the purposes of this ser- vice was the realization that in spite of differing traditions, and even in some cases differing viewpoints, there is still an es- sential oneness. Protestant Churches Join In Worship At Easter “There is a green hill far away," was the opening hymn, sung as a prayer, kneeling. The Rev. E. E. Kent of the United Church read the Scripture les- son from Isaiah, the Rev. Percy Buck of the Baptist Church read 58 NUMBERS CALLED A wild swan was seen by several people swimming in the marsh in the Thornbank Subdivision on the morning of April 11.

Cham- bers of the Presbyterian Church took the prayers. The Very Rev. Dr. George Pidgeon, first Moderator of the United Church of Canada. prea- ched the sermon. His text was “Sirs. we would see Jesus,” tak- en from the 12th Chapter of John. There were stupendous spiritual issues involved in the death of Christ, Dr. Pidgeon stated. All through His trial and crucifixion, He was carrying out His law of love as expressed in the Sermon on the Mount. “Love your enemies. Do good to them that hate you.” How can we do likewise? And the Answer â€"- only when your object is the sal- vation of the man who has in- jured you. The burden and the responsibility of evil lies with the man who has sinned against you. The liar and the sinner is wholly responsible for his acts. But love is often the influence that reaches his heart. On Good Friday we celebrate Jesus fulfil- lment of the law of love. The May meeting will be de- voted to White Cross work and preparations will be made for the visit of the Baptist Choral Society on May 18.

Therefore, good citizens should use dis- posable handkerchiefs when coughing. sneezing or ex- pectorating and thus aid in prevention of the spread of disease. Many infections are spread from the mouth and nose. The various parts of the human body â€" which is similar to a machine â€"- are not wearproof. The only way to make the body continue to function well Is to give it a rest once in a while. Machines and Good Citizens Sunworthy & Suntested WALLPAPERS DEPT. OF HEALTH TWP. OF NORTH YORK MAPLE R.
