Ladies study
year of child
Miss Kathryn Sells, Lon
don was a visitor at the
meeting of the Afternoon
Unit of Exeter U.C.W. and
led in a sing-song of old
familiar songs. She also
rendered a very beautiful
piano solo - entitled “The
Spinner”.
The leader, Mrs. M. Dear
ing conducted the business.
Roll call was answered by
the number of visits each
had made to sick or shut-ins.
Mrs. H. Murray was in
charge of the program, the
theme of which was The
Year of the Child.
Mrs. Stewart Miner in
troduced a panel of three
ladies to assist her in dis
cussing “The Child” as
related to school and Sunday
school and church, and ways
in which we, as mothers,
grandmothers, aunts or
neighbors could be of help.
Mrs. R. Elgie, represen
ting the school, thought that,
besides the academic
teaching, students should be
taught the difference
between right and wrong,
and how to get along with
others as based on the
Golden Rule.
They should acquire a
healthy outlook on life and
learn the fundamentals to
enable them to cope with life
in future.
Mrs. H. Murray said when
Sunday school was in
troduced in the 1780s, it was
a means of education.
Classes might last three
hours and children were
taught to read and
memorize long passages of
Scripture.
She felt that the Bible
should still be the basis for
S.S. teaching and that older
folk should show an interest
in young people, and, by ex
ample, prove to them that
Christians are cheerful and
friendly people.
Mrs. W.J. Thomson
thought that “Big Brothers”
were doing good work. We
could all help by becoming
better acquainted with
children near us. Some may
just want a good listener and
we should never be too busy
to hear what they wish to
tell us.
In discussion which
followed, it was thought that
sports were perhaps becom
ing over-emphasized and
over-organized, to the detri
ment of the Sunday schools.
Some parents are willing
to drive their sons to hockey
practice at 6 a.m. It would
be a wonderful thing if all
parents took their families
to church and Sunday school
each Sunday.
