Plans Vesper Service
The Wingham. CQXT vesper service
will be held in the United Church at
7 pm., December 12.
The national Christmas vesper
service of the Canadian Girls In
gaining will lay emphasis this year
on the .simple truths and beauties of
Christmas which often become lost in
the rush and commercialism of the
time.
Since 1939 the vesper service has
been prepared by the National p.GJ.T
Committee to give thousands of mem’
bers the opportunity of worshipping
together though miles apart through
the use of the same order of service.
The girls attend in white middies and
blue skirts, the uniform of the C.G.I.T.,
and rededicate themselves to the ideals
and purposes of their movement. This
simple and graceful service of re
dedication has become a symbol of the
strength and unity of the Canadian
Girls In Training.
Canadian Girls In Training is an
5’
interdenominational movement under
the Canadian Council of'Churches. Its
activities are many and varied, but
its chief purpose is to present the
Christian way of life to teen-age girls,
The Christmas vesper service is not__
for ‘ members, alone. In every com-; present.
munity where this beautiful service: minutes of the meeting held Novem-
will be held, the *public is invited to. * * * -
attend and to take part.

last surviving member of a family of
eight, she had lived alone for many
years. She was a well known and

being remembered for her Irish wit.
Miss Earngey was a member of the
United Church and a former member
of the Woman’s Association.
A nephev,'-, Joe Earngey, Hanover,
and a niece, Mrs. Lawrence Short, of
Fergus, survive.
