Marjorie MacLean receives
special membership pin
The October meeting of the Ash-
field Women's"Missionary Society
was held at the home of Mayme
Wilkins with eight members and
one visitor in attendance. Dorothy
Finlayson was the leader for the
Thanksgiving worship service -
"God's love, like a circle, has no
beginning and no ertd."
June Wylds gave the meditation.
The circle reminds us of the never
ending love of God and things,
places and people for whom we
wish to thank God.
A special event was the presen-
tation of an Honorary Life Member-
ship to Marjorie MacLean for her
devotion and faithful work in the
Ashfield WMS. Her sister-in-law
Isabel Martyn presented her with an
Honorary Life Membership pin
which formerly belonged to mem-
bers of the MacLean family.
The sixth and final chapter of the
Mission Study on the Middle East -
Hope for the Future - was given by
Helen MacLennan. For many Chris-
tians in the historic lands of the.
Bible, the„ future is very uncertain.
The physical and material needs of
Middle Eastern people, living in
difficult circumstances, are real and
urgent. Christians in the Middle
East appeal for help to end the
ongoing human suffering and, at the
same time, help that will enable
them to remain as a vital presence
in their homelands.
A profile was given. of our mis-

Incredible
response to
first session ,
•from page 3
oveiwhelining response. Expecting
20 people for the first session, Rev.
Dr. Donald Peel instead lectured to
about 62 people.
Rev. Hodge, said the "incredible
response indicates there is a great
interest in the community concer-
ning pastoral care."
WDH's CEO Lloyd Koch said he
believed that, for those in the
hospital, emotions become more
acute as they question relationships
and deal with 'brokenness'. He said
without the chaplaincy program it
becomes more difficult to treat the
patient.
He described clergymen as "the
intimate stranger". Conversations
can cover a wide range of areas to
the deepest issues of life. "You
never know ... sometimes you tread
• into extremely deep water." said
Hodge. He added that medical
concerns usually bring out
philosophical "life and death" is-
sues.
Hodge . also said the hospital
chaplaincy is an interfaith program
to hopefully address any faith be it
Muslim, Christian or Sikh. Admit-
`tedly, none of titer a1 chaplains
claim to be experts in other
religions, but Hodge said referrals
would be made to provide quality
spiritual care. Hodge said that a
"hospital without a full chaplaincy
program misses a vital part of
patient care." Chaplains deal with
people as a whole - body, mind and
spirit, he said.
In a hi -tech world, sometimes the
patient can become the broken leg
in 310 or the cancer in 212. Hodge
said he was no medical expert, but
he did know what to administer to
the spirit and emotional states af-
fected by the body.
Koch said from a hospital
perspective, he appreciates the work
of the pastoral care program. He
said there is a full roster of
chaplains visiting patients on a
weekly basis. It means a lot to the
hospital board to have well
qualified people.
