G
Presbyterian auxiliary holds meeting
The evening auxiliary of the Lucknow
Presbyterian Church gathered at the home
of the president, Mrs. Bert Moffat on June
16 at 6 p.m. for a pot -luck picnic supper.
After relaxing over a delicious meal, an
outdoor meeting was held.
Mrs. Moffat opened the meeting with a
poem. After singing a hymn and repeating
the WMS purpose, the group was led in
devotions by Mrs. Leonard MacDonald.
Mrs. James Aitchison gave the topic on
Bangladesh where the main religions are
Islam and Hinduism. The people are very
slow to accept Christianity. Society makes
sure that the woman's lowly position is evi-
dent. The women eat only after the men
and children have finished the meal. A'
woman is referred to only as her son's
mother. If she has no son, she is in a
pitiable situation. Marriages are arrang-
ed for business reasons, divorce is quick
for men, impossible for women and aban-
donment of wives is more common than
divorce.
We made plans for serving a noon meal
to members of the Presbytery on June 23.
The offering was received with prayer.
Mrs. Ralph Cameron read a poem about
likes and dislikes.
The group is sending $25 to the
Alzheimer Fund.
The meeting closed with a hymn and
pray er.
