ANGLICAN CHURCH
SPECIAL SERVICES. St. John’s Church was filled to capacity at Evensong yesterday. The occasion was Parish Sunday, when country and town parishioners united in worship. Opportunity was also taken to “Church” his Worship the Mayor (Mr L. G. Armstrong) and members of the Borough Council. The service was impressive and fully congregational. As an anthem the choir rendered, very effectively, “A Prayer,” an arrangement of Handel’s Largo. In the course of his address, based on the text “What Mean Ye?” the Vicar (Rev. M. G. Sullivan) emphasised the need for a purpose in an individualistic life and for expression of that purpose socially as well. “Think for a moment of this Borough,” he said. “The presence of the Mayor and Councillors gives point to the reference. What do we want of it and for it ?Wh at are we planning and to what end are we bending our energies? Surely to make it a splendid, progressive and flourishing town. That should be the sole aim of its Mayor and Councillors. But it is the stuff of empty dreamers unless in our small world we have a goal ahead of us and we work all out to reach it.”'
