SMITH At- DEATH OF JAS. PARSONS GREAT AUDIENCE * GREETS MISSIONARY Possibly one of the largest con­ gregations ever to be packed into Caven Presbyterian Church greeted Dr. Margaret Strang-Savage on Sun­ day morning. Almost an hour before the service commenced cars began to arrive and before eleven o'clock the streets in the vicinity were filled with parked automobiles and the large auditorium no longer could ac­ commodate another eager friend of Exeter's heroic girl missionary. Even the aisles, the pulpit platform, the vestibule and the choir loft were pressed into service an-d still some turned back unable to- gain admit­ tance. And what a message! Mis­ sionary zeal, consuming and all per­ vading enthusiasm for the triple task of doctor, evangelist and social re­ former scintillated from every sen­ tence, Conviction of selfish com­ placency penetrated to- the conscience of even the most indifferent to mis­ sions, as Dr. Strang related the im- measureable needs of tour fellow Canadians in the Peace River Coun­ try and the brave efforts of one humble but consecrated woman to- meet them. Human interest stories of real experiences, sometimes start­ ing the sympathetic tear and again touching the humorous vein, brought the congregation into closer and more intimate understanding of the speaker’s work. Special .words o-f appreciation were said to all those in this vicinity who have contributed so generously to Dr. Margaret’s pro­ gram of relief and cheer. Rev. W. A. Young B. Sc.
