St. James' Church on Friday for the World Day of Prayer service, The meeting was opened with quiet Mrs. Victoria Brothers at the Mrs, Vern Clarke and Mrs. MacNaughton, were leaders. music, organ. D. S. Mrs, Clarke gave the call to worship and th© meeting opened with the hymn, “Praise My Soul the King of Heaven,” followed by the reading of Psalm JOO. “O Lord and Master of Us All," was the second hymn. The Scripture passages and prayers were under the following headings, Act of Praise; Act of Penitence; Words of Assurance; Act of Thanks­ giving for Jesus Christ; Intercession; Act of Dedication. The address was given by Mrs., Ken Bennett who spoke on the theme “That They Might Have Life." The speaker said it was an inspiring and uplifting thought to know that out of India had come the prayer service for all the nations of the world and that even us as we prayed, similar words but different tongues were being raised to God around the World. The theme was taken from the great par­ able of the Good Shepherd. The good shepherd suggests the kindly and loving minstry that carries the lambs in its arms. But the good shepherd must be stem as well. He must be heroic as Well as tender and must face the wolves in the defense of his flock and if need be die for those who cannot protect themselves. The world day of prayer should bring us all to our knees before the throne of God asking for a new chance; a time for us to put on the true marks of a Christian. Others taking part in the service were, Mrs. George Griffith, Mrs. Wil­ liam Hart, Mrs. Stanley Gallaher. Miss Margaret Griffith and Mrs. Glenn McKercher ushered and re­ ceived the offering. The meeting clos­ ed with the hymn, “The Day Thou Gavest," and the benediction, Ladies of St. James placed lovely spring flowers which added beauty to the service.

Food supplies thus made available will oe distributed through our mission­ aries and other church workers to Christians and non-Christians where- ever the need is greatest. The objective is four million and more. The people of Canada who lack for little or nothing ‘snouid and will during this Lenten season share with the less fortunate, remembering the words people of the Town of Wingham 1954 Taxes Taxpayers may make payments on account of 1954 taxes up to 80 per cent of 1953 taxes.
