Mrs. R. H. Middleton of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Mrs. S. Dougall, of Carmel Presbyterian Church, and Mrs. George Arm­ strong of the United Church as­ sisted in the service. Prayers were offered by Mrs. J. Hender­ son, Mrs, W. O. Goodwin, Mrs. B. Edwards, Mrs. J. B. Fox, Mrs. Lorne Eilei* and Mrs. W. J. Ro­ gers. Mrs, T. Sherritt presided at the piano and accompanied the soloist, Mrs. Hilda Haun. Mrs. Norman D. Knox, wife of the new rector of Trivitt Memor­ ial Church, Exeter, and St. Paul’s of Hensall, was guest speaker. She interpreted the theme “That They May Have Life” to mean giving love and charity, without which a person’s usefulness is limited. She felt people are often turned aw’ay from the church *by leaders who are not spiritually fitted to make prayer effective and increase religious faith. Parents who are concerned be­ cause their children refuse to go to church when they are old enough to choose for themselves, are often to blame for this situa­ tion themselves, Their critical attitude toward the church, causes the young people to decide against attending, Leaders of many church’bodies are working towards “church union” which they hope will off­ set differences between denom­ inations. But Mrs. Knox felt that they will only be completely re­ conciled in heaven, where all are a part of something larger than any.
