Solicitor for the Executors,
GOFORTH AUXILIARY
The regular meeting of the Go
forth Auxiliary of St. Andrew’s Pres
byterian Church was held last Thurs
day evening at the home of Mrs. T,
A. Currie, with Miss Isbister presid
ing.
Miss Myra MacDonald gave a
comprehensive explanation of the
Scripture reading, A delightful solo
was rendered by Miss Sara MacLean
and the chapter from the study book
outlined by Miss Mary King. The
achievements of our Missions in In
dia showed many Beneficial results in
education, health and employment,
(Continued from page 1)
they felt the call to worship was
them.
Worship and belief go hand
hand as are failure to worship and
unbelief. The Church in calling peo
ple to the worship of God is perform
ing a divine service to the world.
Man has been worshipping false gods
and if brought back to worship would
enjoy the great blessings found in
Zion.
Worship is a physical tonic. Our
daily work is exhausting, we need
rest. In this worship plays a
part. It is a complete change of
atmosphere of our daily lives.
Worship is a stimulus for
mind. It clarifies our thinking, helps
us to understand the mysteries of life
and helps us to see into the heart of
things.
Worship is a social boon. We are
more congenial because of the whole
some sweetness of the House- of God.
Worship is, the greatest leveller in
society to-day.
Worship makes a great contribu
tion to character, the speaker contin
ued. Without worship, morality will
die in the individual or nation. Wor
ship is the life, soul and health of
morality, they go hand in hand. The
value of worship to life is found in
faith, hope, strength, health, .healing
for the soul.
Mr, Laird concluded by urging the
congregation to maintain the altar of
w’orship to practice the art of wor
ship and to recapture its lost radi
ance. . K
At the evening service the Scrip
ture reading was taken from Isaiah
53: 1-16 and Paul’s Epistle to the
Philippians 2 1-11. Mr. Laird's sub
ject was “The Availing Christ” and
the text was taken from the 4th chap
ter of Philippians, the 13th verse, “I
can do all things through Christ,
which strengtheneth me.” The Phil
ippians knew that these words were
true. What Paul .really said to the
Philippians and, is saying to us, is
that through our faith in Jesus Christ
we may become the masters and not
the slaves of curcumstance.
Christ avails to make the weak
person strong, through fellowship
with the living Christ the weak may
have their lives filled with new life.
The world offers opposing teachings
but Jesus offers power from on high.
The world to-day is threatened
with various isms. Dr. Laird pointed
out that if the brotherhood of man
and nations would seek Christ’s rule
the chaotic state of to-day would
change to one of love and peace.
A wrong conception of man often
causes a person to sink to a state of
futility. Man is a creature of divine
origin, of eternal destiny, with a
spiritual nature. A wrong conception
of God may also catise a person dis
couragement. In only man, when
perplexed, would look to Jesus and
say, "there is my God, He will
strengthen me,” he would be lifted
up from despair to happiness.
We are not strong enough to over
come temptation but when we put
our faith in Jesus, Christ avails for
us, we win the battle and then life
becomes enriched and eternal.
At the morning service Miss Sara
MacLean sang beautifully "One
Sweetly Solemn Thought” and the
anthem was "The Lord Is King.”
The anthems at the evening service
Were ".Hear Us, Our Father” and
"Praise We The Lord.” The obligato
in the latter was taken by Miss Sara
MacLean,
The annual convention of the Nor
thern Section of the Huron Presby-
terial of the United Church was held
in Fordwich on Wednesday, Oct. 12,
Mrs, Robt. Nay, of Fordwich, very
capably presided over both sessions.
1 The devotional period of the morn
ing session was conducted by the
Ethel Auxiliary represented by Mrs.
Currie, Mrs. W. Bremner and Mrs.
H, Snell. The theme was a question
Jesus asked His disciples, "Will ye
also go away?” In a very inspiration
al talk Mrs, Snell threw out the chal
lenge "Are we willing to live the
Christian life or shall we' too turn
aside?”
Mrs, J. W. Johnston, of Fordwich,
welcomed the delegates and visitors,
Mrs. Griffin, of Wingham, respond
ing.
Eleven of the twelve afternoon
auxiliaries forming this section res,-
ponded to the' roll call with very
helpful reports. All reported using
the Study Book, all but one subscrib
ed to the missionary monthly, and
all but two use the envelope for sys
tematic giving. Splendid bales of
clothing, etc., have been sent away.
Some of the ways mentioned- of rais
ing extra funds were: special teas,
ten cent teas at regular meetings,
special meetings, holiday cards and
special efforts by the several groups
into which some societies are divid
ed. One of the main problems pre
sented was: "How to interest the un
interested.”
Mrs. R. E. McKenzie, Of Egmond-
ville, in calling the roll of the Even
ing Auxiliaries, mentioned that seven
new ones have been formed in the
Dominion. There is still much need
for expansion, however, as there is
still 34% of the congregation of our
church that have no missionary or
ganizations. Both of the evening aux
iliaries in our section were represent
ed.
In the reports from the Circles, one
told of some of its girls walking
three miles to its meetings.
A problem presented in • the Mis
sion Band department was “How to
interest the boys." This was pointed
out to be very important to the fut
ure of Missions.
Our Baby Band Leader reported a
birthday card had been sent to each
member and every home had been
visited.
Following discussion on these re
ports, Miss Eunice Thornton of Blue
vale favoured the gathering with a
solo.
Mrs. Jas. Michie, of Belgrave, gave
the offertory prayer.
Reports were then given by some
of the secretaries of the Presbyterial. .
Mrs. McKenzie introduced the lit
erature on the literature table.
Mrs. W. B. Wellwood, of Wing
ham, gave an encouraging report
concerning the missionary monthlies
and World Friends.
The Christian Stewardship secre- ,
tary, Miss L. Young, of Londesboro,
stated that the greatest temptation a
Christian meets is in sharing his
money. If, after each organization
has raised .as much money as last <
year, each member of each W.M.S.
and Evening Auxiliary would give 50 .
cents more and each member of each
Circle give ten cents more, our allo
cation would be met. Miss M. Milne,
of Blyth, our Presbyterial treasurer,
gave the 'financial report,
an increase in
compared with
year, but there
compared with
year, but there
in this last quarter if our allocation
is to be wet. Mrs. Gardiner
this session with prayer.
The laideS of the Fordwich
iary served a splendid dinner
church hall.
The worship period of the after
noon session was in charge of the
Wingham Evening Auxiliary with
Mrs. C, Lloyd and Mrs. E. Webster
bringing a splendid message based on
the story of Elijah and the Widow.
Miss Leah Dinwoody, of Honan,
China, was the missionary guest of
the day. She spoke on the Honan
Jubilee, tracing the growth of the
missionary work in Flonan and point
ing out that it seemed to be in ten
year periods. After a decade of
growth great trouble always seemed
to arise followed, by lapse of„ prog

a
definite responsibility by the Church
of Christ in 'China- She pointed out
that the influence of Christianity js
permeating every phase of Chinese
life, that Christian men now form a
large percentage of the leadership in
the country, and that wonderful work
is being done by the Christian wo
men who are striving'to make Chris-
tion the whole family in each home.
The New Life Movement sponsored
by the Government but supported by
the church, was also described. It is
doing wonders to improve the exter
nal life of the people.
Mrs. R. E. McKenzie very ably in
troduced the new study book “‘The
World in Canada.” She displayed
posters illustrating each chapter and
pointed out most interesting ways of.
dealing with each one.
The offertory prayer at .this session
was given by Mrs. Lott, of White
church.
The Temperance Secretary, Mrs.
G. Gillespie, of Whitechurch, called
attention to the fact that as well as
temperance this department includes
Christian Citizenship. The use of the
clip sheet was recommended.
The president, Mrs. W. A. Gardin
er, of Egmondville, brought an ex
cellent message. She suggested me
thods of increasing interest in our
meetings. Some of these,were: each
individual inember should feel her
responsibility,, we should read mis
sionary literature for without know
ledge there can be no interest'and
we should, develop a friendly spirit in
our meetings. She asked that the al
location be looked upon as
cation of our share in the
ary work, not as a task.
Six girls of the Fordwich
Band delighted the meeting with a
song in which they impersonated
Chinese girls.
Mrs. A. Taylor, of Gorrie, gave
very fitting closing words and Rev.
J. W. Johnston pronounced the bene
diction.
