During the years you spent with us your work has not al ways been easy and your kindness and patience to the sick entrusted to your care was the admiration of all.

Word has been received in Exeter of the death of Mrs. Samuel Hand ford, of Snowflake, Man. Mrs. Hand ford’s maiden name was Elizabeth Ann Gould. Her husband, the late Mr. Handford, who died in 1935 was a native of Exeter. The Misses Alice and Annie Handford, of town, are neicee, and Messrs. Wm. and F. A. May are nephews. Mrs. Hand ford is survived by six sons and two daughters in the west and by three sisters and one brother in London, W. Cutbueh, A. E. Hoffman, A very quet of white adorned the pulpit later distributed among the “shut- ins” of the congregation. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Page, was home for the day and conducted the services. Trivitt Memorial church withdrew their morning service and Man St. church withdrew their service in the even ing. A special offering of $‘800 was asked for and this amount was over subscribed. The ladies of the church have recently had new doors installed in the three front entrances and three new hat and coat racks have been installed in the lobbies. At the morning service Rev. Mr. Dickinson took for his text Luke 17:11. “Were there not ten clean sed but where are the nine.” A poor man of Samaria was forced by the dread disease of leprosy to break the family ties and join himself with others of the same disease. Imagine their excitement when they learned that' a man was in their midst who could heal their disease. Following their healing one of them returned, to give thanks but th'e others were not heard of again. Their first thought, no doubt, was of home and loved ones to whom they went im mediately. They were much like ourselves. We take God’s great gifts for granted, the sunshine, the fresh air, home, teachers, church and community relationships and peace in our land for which we fail to pay tribute. There are two at titudes we may take towards God. One is the debtor attitude that says I owe my life to the world in which I live and the other the creditor class which says the world owes me a living. We own nothing in our own right but we owe everything to those who made life what it is. The best way of saying thank you is in a life of service, sharing the blessings of God with other people. In the evening the speaker took for his text Phil. 4:9 “My God shall supply all your needs through his richness in glory by Christ Jesus”. The speaker said that belief in God is a matter of great difficulty in our day. Critics are asking ”<Can we believe in God?” In the realm of in ternational relationships force is a substitute for goodness. Foi* twenty years we have lived in a world of dis illusionment and few people know what to believe. Over against this the words of the text “my God shall supply all your needs” comes as a great relief. That is the sort of nat ural confidence we as Christians need today. A simple faith in provdenc© may be a stablizing influence in life. But God is not a bank to be drawn upon, nor a treasure-chest to be pried open. Faith in God is a strong exercise of mind and will. The more one knows the greater he believes. The really great men stand in awe at what they have learned. The train ed mind has a greater capacity for grasping truth. The longer we live the more puzzled we are about the meaning of life. There must be a reason for life and somewhere in the universe is someone interested in life. The more we know of science the greater our belief in God. Re ligion is an active doctrine. People who believe initiate new enterprises. The business man of faith seeks to improve and extend his business. He goes out into the unseen and accom plishes things. Men and women who believe in God look far into- the future. Life deals with us on a ba sis of truth. Men and women are killed upon our highways when traf fic laws are disregarded. Homes are invaded and wrecked when youth will not believe the truth of alcohol. Faith believes in eternity. It believes that ultimately right and God must be established. God is Iti the midst of life and God will not fail.
