Murray Scott conducts Knox United service Belgrave Knox United Church, Belgrave, was tastefully decorated with a multi-coloured flower arrangement and a pink hydrangea in full bloom for the “Conference Sunday” ser­ vice May 6. In the absence of Rev. Peter D. Tucker who is attending the Lon­ don Conference, J. Murray Scott conducted the service, assisted by Mrs. Gordon Bosman and William A. Coultes. Mrs. Bosman read the scripture passages and a children’s story about Brenda. Brenda’s parents could not afford luxuries for their child. She carried her homemade bread sandwiches to school in a brown paper bag; wore a home- sewn blouse and a sweater which her grandfather had knitted. Her knowledge of boating and camping did exceed that of her classmates. Still she was reluctant to join them for games or lunch. However, after revealing her information, she was appreciated by her peers. She had much to offer. Let us put our priorities in the proper prospective. The sermon was in dialogue form on the theme “Local Passions within a Global Vision”, with Murray Scott and William Coultes participating. Reference was made to the present moderator of the United Church who emigrated from his homeland and family to partake in the Christian Ministry in Can­ ada. The hymns, “Praise to the Lord”, “In Christ there is no east or west,” and “Love Divine” was sung with organ accompaniment by Mrs. George Procter. Offertory stewards were Carol Hopper and Glen Hunter. $3,726 raised for UCW discusses racism The monthly meeting of Bel­ grave Evening Unit of Knox United Church, Belgrave was held at the home of Mrs. Bert Johnston with 22 members present.

Mrs. Ross Anderson dealt with the problem of racism in the church and society. She asked the mem­ bers to consider their own feelings.
