The annual meeting of the Brussels branch of the Bible Society was held in St. John's Anglican church October 6. Rev. Carson introduced Rev. W. H. Moore of London who showed a film, Dangerous Mission, which showed the difference the scrip- tures made on the life of the people in. New Guinea. Mr. Moore gave a brief history of the beginning of the Bible Society. 200 years ago there was an evangelistic revival and out of this came the missionary move- ment. • The missionaries found them- selves handicapped when they did not have the scriptures in the language of the people with whom they were working. In 1804 the Bible Society was formed whose aim was translation, print- ing and distributing. During the 1974-75 Lions year, the Brussels Lions Club has contributed more than $9,000.00 to local and national programs and activities. The money was' raised through various projects such as roller skating, dances, Polar Daize, hockey draws, and radio Bingos. Of the total $1814 was raised through contributions on behalf of the Ontario Society for the Crippled children while $429 was earned for the Canadian. National Institute for the Blind through similar means. Other national causes were given donations also. $25 went to the Lions International Relief Fund, $100 to the Ontario F arm for the Deaf, $100 to the C;ancer Society and $196 to the Ontario Society for the fortunate for the fans that the baseball game was rained out or some of them would have been fra frantic trying to keep up with the action of football and baseball at the same time. ***** Do not forget to turn back your time pieces one hour this Satur- day night, October 25th.
