ustodians of a A-year-old
collection-the last recorded offer
ing was taken in 1914-Mr. and Mrs.
J. L. Gray this week turned over
to Rector Mott the sum Of 1928,
including a silver dollar dated 1901,
to be used for the Church's repairs.
Sundays collection, too, will go for
that purpose.
Perched on a knoll, the highest
point in the surrounding country
side, St. Johns commands a view
that extends over the fields Of her
parishioners. Her cemetery pines,
the only ones near, stretch like SEN
tinels over the departed twenty-one.
Those to whom the schoolhouse-like
edifice is most dear refer to it as
the little church"
Some who sat in Sundays con-
gregation are listed on the Sunday
school roll of honor which graced
the wall and dated back to 1901. At
tending were Mrs. Ed Kneville and
son, Paul, of Seattle, Washington,
and Mrs. Carl Irish. Both ladies
were formerly Of st. Johns.
st. Johns was the church Of the
Grays, the Swifts, the MacGuires.
Together these folk built it, raised
their children in it's beliefs, finally
when numbers diminished left it to
the solitude of old age, like "aged
parents" Rev. Mott said.
It was in 1890, Mrs. Nellie Gray
said, when the building was built
Bill and her late husband, Jack
Gray, were the carpenters. Bees
raised the roof, shingled the edifice
in that neighborly fashion. In the
fall Of that year the church stood
ready for services. The Rev. Ham
ilton, its first rector, drove in
horse and buggy or sleigh to hold
services for its people.
IF it was too cold for him to
come the eight miles, we didn't
have church, but we always had
Sunday school," Mrs. Gray said.
There were good times at the
little church," she said. A beffry
was planned once but was never
added. Like country churches II
afforded a weekly visitation for the
farmers. Post-service conversations
often the only means for seeing
each other all week, waged while
dinners waited. II liked that
friendliness," she said.
From it's Sunday school rolls, the
church produced one clergyman
the Rev. Herbert Swift.
It's last service, with the excep-
ton of funerals, was the marriage
of her son, Earl, and his bride. 1t
was an evening in 1927 when the
party drove to the church. Rev
Swift was home on a vacation
There in Pickering lamplight, as
the church rested for then nearly
ten years, the two were married
where he had been raised as a boy
The automobile, thinks Mrs. Gray
brought about the close Of the lit
tie church. It brought the town SO
much nearer, members moved
away, gradually the services became
fewer.
II think the little church did a
lot Of good" she said. II don't
know what we'd have done for the
children's religious training without
it in those days"

By Rev. r. ]. Mott

hatred and suppression. But Christ
will give you the completion Of
truth for this life and the life to
come. His Way, the path of human
love to man and God; His Life the
redemption and enhancement OF
your manhood and womanhood."
In continuing, Rev. Mott said:
what will He teach your" And his
answer was given in part as fol
lows:
First, the meaning and import
ance Of faith. To follow those who
would have you mistrust life and
doubt that it has divine meaning,
may seem to give you a smart sort
Of freedom from old and well-tried
truth, but in the end you will find
that life has brought only empti-
ness, because emptiness was all you
had expected of it."
Secondly, Christ will teach you
Faith in yourself. Our ruthless
competitive system will try to de-
prive you of that faith. You must
believe in your best self in spite
of the disparagements Of the
world"
Thirdly, He will teach you faith
in your fellowmen. They, like your
self, are created in the image of
God. Christ condemned all exploit
tation of humanity for greed or lust
or power. Faith in yourself will
give you faith in democracy. g..
Modern demagogues sneer at de-
mocracy for they have no faith in
humanity. America is not out
Of danger of foreign isms.' The
Hague regime is a case in point.
While pretending to be fighting for
the American way, he Is actually
betraying our democratic institu-
tons by his use Of violence, his sup
preston of free speech, free assem-
bly,, freedom Of conscience and Of
religion"
"Fourthly, He will teach you faith
in virtue. A modern writer who
points out the decline of the con-
science of America, said too many
no longer believe in virture for vir-
tues sake. For many honesty is the
best policy-when it pays"
'Fifthly, He will teach you what
is most important, Faith in God
You want to know what God is like
in order to believe in Him and have
full trust in Him. If going out you
go out with this Guide, and with
these elements of faith, you will be
prepared for whatever the future
has in store"
The service was opened with the
professional, when the sixty-nine
members of the graduating class
marched in to music furnished by
the school orchestra, under the di-
rection of Mr.. Sampson. The SER
vice was interspersed with offerings
by the mixed chorus and the Girls
Glee Club. Londonderry Air" was
sung by the former and glee club
contributed Into the Dawn" Rev.
Mott led the group in prayer and
offered the benediction. The aud
fence sang the hymn, my Faith
Looks Up to Thee" Thus another
baccalaureate service passed into
history, and the members Of the
class of 80 found themselves on the
threshold Of new activities.
