hehe eae REEVE CAVANAUGH'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS At 4.30 p.m. Monday afternoon, Township's Council was sworn in by Clerk Treasurer W.J. Hanley. Reverend Dean Gallagher gave an impressive invocation.

(continued on Page 5..) a January 12, 170/ CENTENNIAL INTER-FAITH SERVICE About one hundred and fifty adults, the leaders and members of Terrace Bay Youth groups, Cubs and Brownies, Guides and Scouts, CGIT and Catholic Girls' Club, Sea Cadets and Wrenettes gathered with the Terrace Bay Men's Chorus and combined church choirs to celebrate the first Inter-faith Service of Centennial Year. The aim of the Christian Churches in Canada along with other faiths, is to promote the ecumenical movement through services of prayer, praise and thanksgiving; there will be therefore an increasing number of these inter-faith meetings. The service opened with the singing of the hymn "Egith of Our Fathers" followed by prayers led by the Very Rev. Dean E.A.Gallagher. The first lesson was read by William Bailey and the second lesson by Centennial Chairman and Reeve Ed Cavanaugh. Rev. T.G. Husser was in charge of the service. After the Credo and Gloria Patri the Terrace Bay Men's Choir rendered an Anthem, before Father Gallagher gave his sermon on "Christian Beginnings in Canada". In the address he traced the roots of the ecumen- ical feeling back to the earliest days of the Church in Canada. The Litany that followed was lead by Rev.T.G.Husser. After, the whole congregation joined in the Declaration prepared by the Canadian Inter-faith Conference. The service ended with hymn 'The Church's One Foundation" and "O Canada". The collection will be sent to the Ecumencial Pavilion at Expo vy" to assist the work being done throughout the 'ear to further the movement in Canada. nn ne |
