Mrs. Conrad Van Dijk of Shakespeare who discussed the work she and her husband, a veterinarian specializing in poultry, had carried out in that country. They had gone to Bangladesh under the Mennonite Church to investigate the possibi- lity of raising chickens as a means of providing protein for the starving people. Since there wasn't even enough grain to feed the people, the plan to start chicken farms had to be abandoned and after 5 months, the Van Dijks returned to Canada. The speaker showed pictures taken during their stay in Bangla- desh. The population is dense, she said, with 1500 people per square mile and all of them are hungry and unhappy with a hopeless attitude toward life. Although Bangladesh has received more relief than any other country, it is still the poorest. The Mennonite Central Committee is trying to improve the lot of the women by teaching them to grow, gardens; to sew' clothes for themselves and to sell; and also to make jute products. These hanging baskets, bags and other handicrafts they make are now being exported all over the world. Mrs. Van Dijk had samples of their work with her for sale. Mrs. Van . Dijk said she has been promoting the sale of the articles since she returned, thus doing what she can to improve the lot of the unfortunate people. The Van Dijk's youngest child is a lovely little Bangladesh girl that they adopted at the age of 7 weeks. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. Elmer Harding of Fordwich.

Dr. Hazelwood based his remarks for the morning on the scripture verses from St. Luke 15: 11-32 referring to "The Younger Son" took his journey into a far cOuntty. The speaker used two eXampleS to clarify the settrion. "The Great illusion." The first word - illuStra- tion concerned What appeared to be a lake on the highway; but where there were no restrictions and life satisfying - an illusion. A boy may first become a man when he quarrels with his father and sets up an idol of his own. We may throw off "Our Father" and make an idol of "Secularism." Our lives are ordered and conducted as .if God did not exist. Men have moved into the far field of secularism. He questioned on what basis do ybu attend church? Thanks? Required? or whims and pleasures? Your answer decides how far secularism has taken you to a far field. The sermon concluded by stating Men need a religious outlook on life "I will arise and go to my •Father." The text for the evening service "I am come that they might have life and it more abundantly led to the question "What do we have to offer." We have Jesus Christ, the world's greatest teacher. He has the answers to life's problems given through His parables. He has words Eternal Life' because He is Eternal Life. Dr. Hazelwood requested "Remember Jesus" stating "We have Him to offer to all." Personals Mr. and Mrs. James Hunter returned home recently from a trip to the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
