M. S* HELD FINE MEETING “Planting the Church” Subject of Address The January meeting of the Gor­ rie W. M. S. was held Thursday af­ ternoon at the home of Mrs. R- H. Stephens, with ten members, present. The President, Mrs. Scott, opened the meeting by reading a beautiful poem “Just One Year to Live.” Af­ ter singing the hymn “My Country” Mrs. Watt led in prayer for the sick in other lands and for our mission­ ary, doctors and nurses. The Scrip­ ture lesson Was read by Mrs. Ham­ ilton after which Mrs. Watt presented the 2nd chapter of the study book, “Planting the’ Church” in a very able matinet. She said the author, Rev. Mr, McKay, the Chttrch swers “Yes. heroic men so* have noble men and women left comfortable homes and friends to pi­ oneer in .religion. Some of these pi- ofieers were: The McCallums, Drs.

If not, then you will re- qjeqgber your mother’s. It was a fan­ cy china one, that ten chances to. one she received as a shower gift. It was perched on the sideboard in the din­ ing-room, to serve both a decorative and a useful purpose. I.t was the family bank. When mother sold her chickens or the geese, or when the weekly cream* and egg money came she donned her spectacles and counted it. Then with a stub of a pencil fished from among the contents of the top drawer in the sideboard she figured it up jiist to see that the man hadn’t made any mistakes. For a few minutes there ■would be some laborious figuring, and then satisfied that all was well the pencil would be replaced from where it was taken. The silver would be carefully wrapped up in the bills, and all would be placed in the china teas pot That tea pot certainly occupied a prominent place in our lives, It wa$ tfie clearing house for mother’s cur­ rency. When we wanted pennies for those big bullseye candies on our in­ frequent trips to the village, mother would dole out one apiece from her bank. Then, while father was hitch­ ing up the horse she would make out a list of what to get at the store . . tea, sugar, spices, laces . . and so on, and all would be neatly totalled up with the correct amount of mon­ ey and an extra ten cents in case the head of the household didn’t have change for a plug of tobacco. Along about tax^time the china tea pot was often dumped out on tlie kitchen able at night when we were doing our homework. Father kept adding a few dollars from here and there . . for the jags of wood that he sold in the village, and the potatoes and apples . . and it was carefully totalled up. Tax time was coming mighty close and they were still short, and we in our childish way would begin to worry as to what might happen if we couldn’t pay our taxes. But china tea-pot always managed it. There was sort of a triumphant smile on her face when she dumped the contents out on the table .on tax day and the amount was counted out in everything from ten dollar bills to. pennies. “Well, Paw, we made it,” she would, exclaim and he would ruffle up her hair, the way she pretended she didn’t like, and he would kiss her on the cheek, and we would *all go to school feeling quite important because there was enough to pay the taxes. There were lean times for the. china tea pot too. Times when Mo­ ther would have to scrape mighty^ hard to make up enough for the gro­ ceries, and. when father would say: “Shucks, Maw, never mind the plug of tobacco, I can do without it.” But she would chase him along and smite > and say that a hard working man was prayer and this was followed by! one bad habit, group prayers. Mrs. Lovell, Mrs. The china tea pot became scarred Cook and Mrs. MacNaughton |cad'from handling, too. I never knew a ing. The Scripture lesson was taken 1 W J V'. troin Psalm 46 while the special verse for thought was “I will hear what God the Lord will speak for he will speak peace unto his people and to his saints,” Psalm 85, v. 8. The Roll Call was responded to by a Thought ‘ .for the New Year. "Lord speak to me that I may speak” was the second hymn sung. During the business dis­ cussion plans were made to hold the meetings one half hour earlier, 2.30 o’clock. A gift of $5.00 for work am­ ong the lepers from the Sec., Mrs, Stutt, was acknowledged. “I do not ask that life may be a pleasant road” was the next hymn taken as a solo by Mrs. MacNaitghton. Mrs, Cook and Miss Howe were appointed to -take charge of the February meeting. The meeting closed with prayer by Mrs. Sanderson. white court’ feathers.

I But there was a wise philosophy about the old tea pot. One thing that Mother told me that I always re­ member was one night when I was an awkward young man getting ready for a “date” to take a girl to a church social. Mother sort of knew that there wasn’t very much money in my pocket and she slipped me a dollar bill from the tea pot, with the admon­ ition to have a good time. I men­ tioned something about the ea-pot* then and she smiled and said . .“Yes,, I got that tea pot at the shower the night before your father and I Were married. One thing Phil, that it told, me that first day when I set it on the ; sideboard and slipped the egg money I into it was, don’t buy anything until Women’s Institute I can pay for it.” The January meeting of the W.
