WS OF WROXETER.
“Living Victoriously Without Props”
was the topic given by Mrs. Frank
Earls, when the Women’s Missionary
Society, Wroxeter United Church, held
their September meeting on Friday
night at the home of Mrs. Allen Mun
ro.
It was the story of Sir Christopher
Wren. The speaker said Sir Chris
topher Wren was the great architect
who was born in England in 1632 and
died at the age of 91 in 1723. The son
of a famous doctor, he was what we
might describe as a five-talent man:
he studied anatomy, became a noted
astronomer and chemist, and a famed
mathematician, but his favorite hobby
wag architecture. In 1666 most of Lon
don, England was destroyed by fire
followed by the black plague with
thousands dying. It was then Sir
Christopher came to the fore front.
Many fame and historic buildings in
cluding St. Paul’s Cathedral were
ruined.
For his contribution Sir Christopher
was knighted and later entered into
politics. The great buildings which he
planned stood the test of time. The
speaker said this story of the past has
a lesson for us today. When Jesus
was on earth he tried to convince
men that character built on his prin
ciples of living stood the test and in
the sermon on the mount set forth
his principles for joyous living.
Miss K, Hazelwood read a sketch
of India, which was prepared by Mrs.
James Sanderson, giving its geograph
ical setting, its people and their hab
its, its climate and industries.
Mrs. Jim Doig gave an interesting
talk on nthe hymn “Jesus Keep Me
Near the Cross” which was one of
6000 written by the blind poet, Fanny
Crosby. Six of her hymns are con
tained in the United Church hymnary.
She married a blind musician in 1858
and taught for many years in the In
stitute for the Blind. The members
joined in singing “Jesus Keep Me
Near the Cross”.
Mrs. Merwyn Grainger read a poem
entitled “Worthwhile”. The roll call
was answered by a word of wisdom
from Proverbs.
Mrs. \D. S. MacNaughton presided
over the business period and Mrs-
Gilbert Howse presented the minutes.
Two letters with donations to the W.
M. S. were received with gratitude.
Plans were made to attend the sec
tional meeting to be held in Ethel on
October 14th.
Members decided to pack a bale in
the near future for Northern Ontario
and asked that donations would be
left at the church by November 15th.
New and good used clothing or articles
suitable for Christmas gifts including
toys for children would be acceptable.
The executive was named a com
mittee to arrange a speaker and date

Every week after making my deposit, I read my book, It’s
full of wonderful facts: Eact No. 1, that I’m prepared for
