BY MRS. LOREN GUILD There is a special verse in the Bible that belongs to an- ni'ersaries, John 4; 38 "I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour; other men laboured and yea are entered into their labour.” This was an accepted truth to the members of Headford United Church as they too laboured the week preceding the eighty-second an- niversary of their church. Thoughts were turned to the generations that had gone be- fore and hopes were winged into the future for those to fol- low. And so for the past week men have painted and women have scrubbed. The west wall is fresh with a coat of off- white, harmonizing with the pale green of the other walls. A new altar cloth hangs from the pulpit and the floors and furniture are as clean as the loving service of the women can mak them. A new floor is in the basement and the furniture moved in; freshly laundered curtains hang as class dividers and at the windows. On Sunday morning several beautiful flower arrangements helped dissipate the outdoor gloom of rain and cold. The busy members looked upon their work and found it good. The small Methodist Episc- opal Church built in 1850 was situated, as is the present church. with its doors open to the east. Windows on the north and south walls shed light on a common table that served as a pulpit and on the quiet worshippers as they sat in voluminous clothes on hard benches. The restless move- ments of tied horses and the buzzing of flies were the only sounds to stir the stillness, no‘ Jets or motors to distract minister or parishioners. In 1882. the small church was overcrowded and the present building was erected with con- siderable labour from members of the congregation. fiford United Church Holds 82nd Anniversary Nothing spectacular appears on the church recordsI just the everyday stuff of which life is made but through the history one can sense that problems were met and decisions made. Voluntary giving has been the general policy of financing, but for 18 years a charge of $2 a year, pew rent, was made to eke out the budget. The pars- onage, where the Harry Burt- ons now live was sold for $800. to pay the builder of the new church. An organization with the rather odd name (for a church) of Dairy Maids flour- ished for a time. The Ladies Aid was in existence from the beginning. Tragedies occurred, and one can imagine the consternation and speculation that was rife when it was discovered that every bit of china was stolen from the church with the ex- ception of one cup and two saucers. The fence that was built to shelter the horses was blown down by a high wind and a bolt of lightning struck and knocked down the church spire causing an itinerant who was sheltering in the yard to flee in terror. Flickering oil lamps gave way to hydro; piano supplanted organ and in turn organ replaced piano; stoves were discarded for furnace. These are all in the physical realm and simple to record. There were many visitors} from Victoria Square and Brown's Corners. as well as per- sonal friends of members, at- tending the 82nd anniversary service at Headford United Church. Mr. and Mrs. Melvln Well- man were hosts for the noon meal to Rev. Robert McNaught and Mrs. McNaught, Mrs. W. Wellman, and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Wellman, Bill and Lynn. Queensville. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Leek spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Leek and family. Miss M. Quantz was a guest also in the Leek home. Mr. and Mrs. H. Acreman spent Saturday night in the home of their son Murray and were guests of Mrs. N. Brodie for dinner on Sunday. Other guests in the Brodie home were Mr. and Mrs. B. King, Wood- bridge and Mr. and Mrs. J. Huitson. Richmond Hill. Bech Staten, Linda Snider and Jenny Calder attended the Brownie week-end camp-out at Oshawa. Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Calder and family and Mrs. L. Guild attended the christening of Mrs. Guild‘s young grandsons. John and James Kerr, Fenelon Falls. Mrs. Guild remained with her daughter for the following week. ' On September 22 Rally Sun-l day was observed in Headford] United Church by a joint serv-‘ ice of Sunday school and church. Mrs. Ben Terry was. in charge of arrangements. The children's choir was under the direction of Mrs. S. Rumble, and Mr. Rumble, superintend- ent, conducted the service. Rosemary Leek held the inter- est of the children with a story from India, From the Jaws of a Tiger. Dr. Binnington spoke to the congregation briefly.

Morning Service Not so simple to write on a page is the very real fellowship that exists in the community, with a high standard of right living and a searching for God through this fellowship. This intimate community life is what makes the small rural church specially "ours". 1887 Church Bell For the morning service Rev. Robert McNaught B.A., Queens- ville charge United Chuch used the theme, “The Christian Voc- ation.” He based his lesson on Romans 12 where Paul outlines for the early Christians the ac- ceptable service for followers of Christ. Introducing the fact that we must prepare through training and education to meet the needs of our present physical life he pointed out that it was necessary to prepare for serv-1 ice in Christ. He offered thnee‘ challenges; one must meet Jesus face to face and accept his personal dedication for service; one must honour the promises made when Jesus was accepted as Lord and one must expand his vision of steward- ship. Carrying out church duties and supporting the church fin- ancially is not full steward- ship. Mr. McNaught declared there must be an awareness of responsibility in all of life’s duties embracing time, ability and money. In closing he quoted from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, speaking to the laymen of the‘ church, he urged, “As the Lord’s prisoner then, I beg of you to live a life worthy of your calling." Mr. McNaught expreSsed his appreciation to Mrs. S. Rumble and to the choir for their two fine selec- tions, “How Great Thou Art" 3and “The Twenty-third Psalm." Evening Service The church was again filled for the evening service when Pastor W. Vanderbent of Heise Hill Brethren in Christ Church was the speaker. Mr. Vander- bent read from Exodus, chapt- er 32 and his message dealt with the decisiveness of Moses when he came down from the mountain and found that Aaron had submitted to the desire of the people for a God, a golden calf. The cry Moses threw out, “Who is on the Lord’s side?" was the challenge Mr. Vander- bent presented in his sermon.

To one who would like to learn more of their secrets there will still‘ be time. Many of the early‘ spring plants put forth a sec- ond bloom and that is a big whelp in identificationâ€"violets, dandelions, Queen Anne’s lace. the clovers and many of the shrubby bog plants. Several articles and books} have been written on how to use plants for medicinal pur-‘ poses. It makes an interesting} study, but one must be sure of their plants, whether they are edible or poisonous and what they can cure. The leaves of the may apple or mandrake (podopyllum pel- tatum) are poisonous, yet the yellowish fruit is sweet and edible. It is the roots which have the medicinal value. ‘They can be dug up when the‘ fruit is ripe, dried and cut up into small pieces. Add a tea- ‘spoon of the root to a pint of iboiling water. The dosage is lone teaspoon and is supposed ;to be beneficial for the liver. Touch-me-not or jewelweed (impatixens capensls) is bloom- ing right now. It is a succulent plant which likes to grow in wet places. The orange spurred flowers are very dainty. Both the flowers and leaves wilt very quickly when picked. This plant is poisonous if the juices are taken internally but the crushed plant is supposed to be an antidote for poison ivy it applied immediately after con- tact. This recommendation should be sufficient but, again, it would be more reassuring to use a non-poisonous substance. Blue iris (iridaceae) roots are deadly poisonous. Yet it has been used for over a hundred years as a medicine. The rhi- zome is apparently not as pol- sonous when dried thoroughly and when taken in controlled doses. The liquid contains one teaspoon of powdered root to a pint of boiling water and the dosage is usually two table- spoonfuls taken six times a ‘day. It seems safer. for the amateur, to enjoy the beauty of the blooms. The petals can‘ be uSed for testing acids and alkalis in place of litmus paper. The seed pods of this Plant are most attractive and are used in driftwood and dried plant arrangements. About now some of us might think it would be wiser to look for plants with fewer complica- tions. The lycopodiaceae. moss- like, low-growing plants are beautiful to see. They grow in moist woods and stay green throughout the winter. The fruiting head bears spores ra- ther than seeds and these pow- der-like spores become the lycoâ€" podium powder of medicine.

It hasn’t been in use in operating rooms for several years because it was blamed for the development of adhe- sions. Many will remember grand- mother’s spring tonics, mostly‘ because of their bitter taste. Some of these were brewed from the dried leaves of pipsis-‘ sewa, bonset (listed for a cen- tury and a half in the American herbal list). sassafras and bur- dock. August and September are the months for harvesting these plants. Cicadas were still singing during the first week of Sept- ember. The occasional spider is finding its way into the houses, and possibly more than one basement is going to be the winter home of a cricket. 01d folk tales say this will bring good-luck to the household, but its cheerful chirping seems to be sufficient to make one think “‘all's right with the world". Confusing plumages of the birds during the fall migration is sometimes rather discouraging to the beginners. but it also gives them a great feeling of accomplishment when an im- mature bird is positively iden- tified. The vireos and many of the warblers are the hardest“ Some of the following have been observed: great crested flycatcher. scarlet tanager, black-throated green warbler, chestnut-sided warbler, ruby- crowned kinglet and many myr- tle warblers.
