Carolyn Van Dosp BY WILMA OKE Dr. Anne Graham Langford, London, Assistant Minister at Metropolitan United Church, said, "When we take time to think of the phrase 'Give us this day our daily bread', many things come to our mind--the cost of living, how much longer it takes us to shop, the fear of world food supplies running out, international trade agreements that profit the giver more than the receiver, the hungry and the starving world in which we are ever dieting to lose weight." Speaking at the 12th annual rally of Centre Region of the Huron-Perth Presbyterial of the United Church in Clinton Thursday night she said, "Our world is healthy and overfed but not growing much morally, mentally or spiritually." Sharing some of her thoughts on the theme of the rally—"Give us this day our daily bread"—Dr. Langford said, "If 'we are to help others then we must know the meaning of `bread' as Jesus spoke of it. She cited the verse `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God'. She spoke of bread as food for the body, beauty for the mind and soul and the oppor- tunity of education for the poor. She said man does not live by bread alone but by love that is The nearly new sale of children's clothing last Friday night, was an instant success. Many women commented on the high quality of the clothing, and the children loved trying on the woollen mittens and fur hats in contemplation of fun in the snow. The Morning Glory project, convened by Mrs. K.S. Wood had a multi-fold result. Money was raised for the church, parents were enabled to buy inexpensive warm good used clothing for their children, a Thanksgiving was the theme of the worship service led by Mrs. Wilfred Glazier at the meeting of Ontario Street U.C.W. on Oct. 9. She was assisted by Mrs. Ernie Crich and Mrs. Art Groves. Mrs. Lorna Radford ren- dered a piano solo "Sweet hour of prayer" with variations, Mrs, George Potter had as her subject "Mission today" which was very informative and in- teresting. The business part of the meeting was conducted by Mrs. Ernie Crich. Announcements were made about the Regional meeting being held in Ontario expressed in a sense of belonging. She said love is also expressed in a sense of accep- tance of ourselves and of others. We live by love that in- cludes caring and a sense of being cherished, by love that in- volves forgiveness and respect, and perhaps most importantly of all, sharing personally and nationally. Dr. Langford said that tne channels of these things are prayer, the word of God--the Bible--and worship of God in the sanctuary. Bread for healthy bodies in- volves discipline as well as three well-planned meals a day, and by the same token all other forms of bread that feed the mind, the soul and the spirit, require discipline and or- derliness, she said. Dr. Langford concluded: "The form of communion ser- vice at the church is repeated as often as we break bread together at our own tables where bread becomes the sym- bol of God's hand feeding our souls as well as our bodies." Mrs. Leonard Strong of Egmondville, president of the Centre Region, presided for the rally held in Ontario Street United Church. Members of the UCW of the church were hostesses for the 101 delegates who attended from Bayfield, Brucefield, Burns, Clitit-on' On: tario Street and Clinton Wesley-Willis, Egmondville, Londesboro, Goshen, Moncrief, Seaforth, Varna, Walton and large box was set aside for the Children's Aid Society for their families, a box was sent to a northern Indian village, and not least important, many of us cleaned and reorganized drawers and cupboards. Sincere thanks to the donors of dresses, shoes, coats, baby articles and boots. The success of the project was totally dependent on the generosity of Clinton mothers, whose children had outgrown, not outworn their clothing. - V.M. Menzies. St. Church on Oct. Il.

EVERYONE WELCOME Huron Progressive Conservative (Provincial) Association Wm. J. Dale, Earl McFadden President Secretary-Treasurer ANNIVERSARY SERVICES Knox United Church, Auburn, celebrated its anniver- sary last Sunday with two ser- vices, 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. Rev. George Sach of Gorrie United Church was guest minister at both services. At the morning service, Rev. Sach's theme was "What is your life?" The Belgrave Shindigs, a group of young people, con- tributed three numbers in music and song which added much to the service. Mrs. Nor- man Wightman was at the organ and Miss Nancy Ander- son at the piano. Miss Wight- man also rendered a solo. At this service a vase given by his family was dedicated to the memory of the late James Jackson. At the evening service there was a prelude of music by the McMillan family of Goderich. They also contributed other numbers including a duet by Mr. and Mrs. Don McMillan. It was stirring and inspiring and added so much to the service. Mr. Sach's theme was "My life in little Tibet" where he spent his early years with the Moravian church as a medical missionary. There were good congregations at both services with many from Donnybrook congregation, St. Mark's Anglican Church and other visitors. The sanctuary was decorated with fall flowers adding much to the beauty and sense of reverence at both services.
