WELL-KNOWN ONTARIO MINISTER FATALLY INJURED IN COLLISION

Owen Sound, Ont. — Funeral services were held at the Bethany United Missionary church of Kitchener on Nov. 22 for Rev. Dorwin J. Storms, well-known minister of the conference (formerly Mennonite Brethren in Christ) who was fatally injured in a highway collision Nov. 19.

An unusual part of the final service was the dedication of 141 Gideon Bibles contributed by relatives and friends, which are to be distributed as a living memorial to Rev. Storms. For a number of years he had operated the Christian Literature House here.

He was 65 years of age, and had spent 18 years in the active ministry. Surviving him are his wife and two sons, Rev. Paul Storms of St. Thomas, and Everek Storms of Kitchener.
