At 8.15 the meeting was called to order by the minister, Rev. Law­ rence H. Turner, devotional exer­ cises being \ittdulged in. Miss Renn Yearloy presided at the’ piano. Jhe opening hymn, ”1 Love Thy King­ dom, Lord,” was followed by the reading of scripture, St. John 17, the intercessory prayer pf pur Sa­ viour. The wprds of consecration uttered By Christ ‘’For their sakes I sanctify niyself,” were expounded by (lie minister, who Intimated that first of Ml Jesus invoked a blessihg and strength from God in his- owii behalf that He * might meet confi­ dently and triumphantly the sup­ reme crisis of His life—-the Cross. Secondly, He prayqd for His dis­ ciples, those whom God had pecu­ liarly and particularly entrusted to his care and tuition and thirdly for the wld pf mem, -desiring to mate them children of God, The minis­ ter reminded bis flock that since consecration was yecognized as a necessity by the Master, how much more so to those of us who profess His name tp-day* We stand within the portals of a new year in the Mte of our church; looking busk along the corridors of the year that- fe gone and discovering and exper­ iencing anew that it has been no vain thing to have waited upon the Lord and looking forward with the assurance that the God of our fa­ thers has promised to continue to be our God and may a distorted and darkened world, the Church and the Church’s Christ stand pleading with man and nations to return to the fatherly embrace of God. For, said the speaker, this is the only way back to peace and sanity. With this devotional setting the business of the evening was initi­ ated by Mr. Sidney Brown being elected secretary.
