Discipleship, serving theme
for Maitland W.M.S. meeting
In one of hiscolumns,on enter-
tainrnent recently appearing in.
the London Free Press, .Joe
Matyas ;stated... "The spawning
chain of the media has been
pretty well established until now.
Novels and short stories beget
movies,,'successful. ,motion pic-
tures beget TV series. That.'tradi-
tional system of cross-pollination ..
appears endangered."
Upon contemplation of this
quotation onewonders about the
spawning chain of. the Women's
Missionary work. in Canada ,and
throughout the world. Is there
such a thing as a spawning chain
for this organization? Does regu-
lar attendance at the local auxi-
liary level and at the less fre-
quent
assemblies of Presby-
terials and Synodicals beget any-
thing;` perhaps an increased
membership, greater interest,
keen participation . in the wide
field of endeavour?1.
For .those who were present at
the. Maitland Presbyterial So-
ciety of the .WMS. of the Presby-
terian Church in Canada held in
St. Anstrew's,;Molesworth, surely,;
mu
the answer =Ls( be, "Yes": How -
could one listen . so easily and so
attentively to the gracious mes-
sages . of - love, and true-to-life
' tales of the sordid, yet beautifully
rewarding experiences of Rev. G.
B. Cunningham of Evangel Hall,
Toronto, without being 'cued • in'
or `turned on'?
Mr. Cunningham, introduced
by Mrs. Robert . Arbuckle of
Wingham, 'addressed both after -
.noon and evening audiences on
the themes, "Discipleship" and
"Serve ° in. Newness". Some
gleanings from his inspiring mes-
sages were that discipleship is a
response to the gracious invita-
tion of the Lord to "Colne unto
Me", and brings with it the pro-
mise of rest in time of crises,
trouble, or illness, and the assur-
ance of burdens and spirits 'made
light. This promise also leads to a
prospect... the yoke, "Take My
yoke upon you and learn from
Me", , . the tireless, selfless giv-
ing of oneself completelj in re-
habilitating lives that lave be-
come dead and lifeless , never•
heeding the salary, the holidays,
the hours of labour, or the various
fringebenefits. And for what pur-
pose? "That ye, might 'have life
more abundantly", .id not resist-
ing the power of the Holy Spirit' in
leading us to find God's plan for
us. ll'he load that looks so omi-
nous becomes easy to bear.
This is discipleship.:. a life of a
servant .whose work is: hard,
whose load is heavy, who has a
yoke to bear. We must make it a
personal thing by bringing it into
our own lives and homes and with
people living close by. ` How can
we have concern for the people of
India, Guiana, or Pakistan if we
have no concern for the one next
door?
On the theme, "Serve in
Newness", Rev. Cunningham
associated his' aspect of service
with the lonely, defeated, despon-
dent, down-and-out, written -off -
by -society ,
ritten-off-by-society, problem -bearing
people who come each day to the
door Of Evangel Hall. /Many are
not sick enough to be institutiona-
lized, and yet not well enough to
make it on their own. A"staff of
four there endeavours to' guide
these people in the wise budget-
ing of their finances to make the
money last to the end of the
month; to help them set up their
own, rules of conduct;. to find
them meals and a place of shel-
ter ; , to give them ' jobs to do
around the place in order to aid
them in regaining some self-re-
spect and a sense of helpfulness.
They have coffee hours just for
people to come and talk. Ladies
have outings , such as bowling,
picnicking, Biblestudy, or choos
ing what they need for clothing.
Children are taken to camps or
club groups.
At Evangel Hall there is no
really great structured plan ' to
follow... just God's love to give
to tide folk through to a warm, re-
sponsiveness, freed of their hosti-
lity and hang-ups. A seed is sown,
and in time it blossoms. They find
the love and redeeming
power of Jesus Christ., No over-
night accommodation is pro-
vided.
Salvation Army or other
hostels do this. Bales of good used
clothing are accepted there,
especially for men and children.
Often there is great need for NA-
' wear and,shorts.

backed financially by Knox

lilacs, tulips and narcissi, along

WITH MARGARET THOMPSON
20 .YEARS AGO
SEPTEMBER 1952
The Sentinel carried an interest-
ing story relating a heroic rescue
enacted on the boggy shore of
Hayes Lake on concession 12, Kin-
loss Township,:1 1/4 miles west
of Kinlough. Quick thinking
and acting by Jimmy Boyle and
the part. that 14 -year-old" Kenneth
Hodgins played in the rescue sav-
ed A. Wiesner of Winnipeg from
a horrible death in the •
muskeg at .the lake's edge. Mr.
Wiesner was visiting Mr. Leonard
Thursk,. Pentecostal minister at
Kinlough. Thetwo men were
enjoying an afternoon's fishing
from a boat on Hayes Lake. With
them were two youths,' Kenneth
Hodgins,and Doug Stanley. In
attempting to land a pike which
they had caught, the boat over-
turned

deep hole in the lake. In attempt•
ing to reach shore Mr. Wiesner'
became hopelessly mired .in the
quagmire.
In the meantime Jimmy Boyle.
who was enroute from Kinlough
to his farm which skirted the—lake
heard cries: for help. Knowing
what :it.meant he quickly obtain-
ed rope and an inner tube at Kin
lough. Harold Haldenby accom-
panied him to the lake followed
by others. The inflated tube was
the only means by which anyone
(and it had to be a light person)
could get help to Mr. Wiesner'.
Kenneth Hodgins, who had man-,
aged to make shore, climbed on '
the tube and splashed his way
through the shallow water. He
took a. rope with a noose on it
and got within throwing distance
of 'Mr, Wiesner: - It took five
