Prior to the eight o’clock church service, West Pres- bytery met in the Manse. The congregation was invited to state any objections and when none was heard, the officials filed into front rows of the church. Interim-Moderator Rev. David Rowland prayed, “that the congregation may work for the advancement of Thy Kingdom, the.minister be diligent in the discharge of his Christian duties, and that they be given strength, under- atanding, patience and courage.” - u u" He asked a blessing for the' minister’s family. “Keep them in health and strength. Grant that each of us be re- minded of the obligations that are ours in Thy service, and grant us Thy peace as we seek Thy blessing”. Rev. Marshall Jess of Nashville said he considered it a privilege to preach the sermon, which he based on the 10th Chapter of Romans: “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed, and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” Mr. Jess explained, "Jesus" work was completed on Calvary’s cross. He secured eternal life for all who would believe. But his task and work do not mean the same. His work was done then, but‘his task has yet to be. com- plated. - ,, uuu- Induction service for Rev. Gordon Agar, the new min- ister for King’s two-point charge, was attended by 100 Pwsbyterians of St. Paul’s Nobleton and St. Andrew’s, King City, at the latter church laSt Friday evening. -,1 11..

He made salvation available to man, but the task is up to the church,” declared Mr. Jess. “How shall they hear without a preacher? Clfiist depends on the church and the church is you. You must know your message of evangelism. Christ speaks not on- ly to those who are ordained but to you who believe." “We have incurable diseases in our midst," Mr. Jess went on. “It is His remedy for sin that man might live unto Salvation. Your responsibility is to see His task done. The demands are great." Spread Gospei "Wan in" King and Nobleton have a prime responsibility to the Master.

Richmond Hill Branch ROBERT (Bob) HANNAH is the caretaker of the David Dunlap Observatory, just south of the Town of Richmond Hill. Bob emigrated from Northern Ireland in 1949. For seven years before that he had been a Petty Officer in the Royal Navy. On navy service he has seen a good deal of the world, including two and a half years in the China Seas. His wife Irene is also Irish and was a member of her home town chir fr 20 years. Befre taking up the appintment rat the Observatory,, Bob was caretaker of the Richmond Hill Schools. The Hannahs have two children, Bobbie and Elsie. Since taking on his present job, the family.has been a little isolated from the town. Until they invested in a freezer and the Town & Country food plan, it cost Bob around $8.00 monthly in taxi fares because he does not keep a car. One winter the family was snowbound by heavy drifts and ran short of fiood. Another time Mrs. Hannah was hospitalized and her husband didn’t feed so good in her absence. A friend sug- gested a freezer and Mrs. Hannah told the company recently that the family is very very happy with it. “Saves money and pays for itself many times over,” is how she explains it, while Bob added that the taxi fares saved alone paid for the freezer. Most of all said Mrs. Hannah. “we all are tempted in the large stores to buy luxury foods we don’t really need. Having the food plan with stores delivered saves luxury buying you cam-9t afford”. “There is no doubt about it. the freezer is a real boon,” say the Hannahs. AURORA SAND 8. GRAVEI.
