The regular meeting of the Wo
men’s Missionary Society of Gorrie
United Church was held Thursday in
the Sunday School Room. Mrs. W.
W. Strong was in charge of the De
votional period, reading the Scripture
lesson taken from 100th Psalm. Mrs.
Whitley also took! part in Scripture
reading. Mrs. J. Wylie read an inter
esting article on “The Channel of.
Rural Reconstruction.” The new
study book by Mr. MacKay entitled
'“The World in Canada” was ably in
troduced by Miss A. Edgar. Many
interesting items were told of work
being done in Church of All Nations
in Toronto and of the many contri
butions of European Strangers now
residing in Canada and the lessons we
might learn from them.
The president, .Mrs. Robt. Ashton,
took charge of the business period.
Members were urged to attend the
Sectional meeting in' Fordwich on
Oct. 12th.’ Roll Call was answered by
a thought on Thanksgiving. A por
tion of a hymn was sung and meet
ing closed with prayer by the pres
ident.
which was recently re-modeled, was
nicely decorated with baskets of
beautiful autumn flowers. The choir
was assisted by talent from Moles-
wortht and under the leadership of
Mrs. L. Neilson, provided good music
suitable to the occasion. The guest
preacher for the day was Rev. D.
Wilkie, of Teeswater, who delivered
two forceful and timely addresses. In
the morning he based his remarks on
the parable of the rich man mention
ed in Luke 12, verses 16-21, who al
though he had many admirable qual
ities such as ‘industry, foresight and
thrift, yet deserved the epithet ap
plied to him because he took io ac
count of God in his life. Every life
is not only foolish but wasted unless
God has a place in it. In his evening
addrfess, Mr. Wilkie continued his
morning theme, speaking on the sub
ject of “Self-Denial”, Luke 9, verses
23-24. True self-deninal implies a
recognition of the fact that w.c belong
to God, have been bought by Him,
and hence any thought that is not in
accordance with His mind and will,
must be denied’room in the heart and
expression in the life. The most ef
ficient and satisfying life is the sur
rendered life. “For whosoever shall
lose his life for my sake, the same
shall save it.” ( >
