People
Mr. and Mrs. Vince Makas and
Alicia of London visited on Sunday
with Mrs. Mabel Wheeler.
Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Stewart of
Turnberry Estates, Wingham, call
ed on Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Stone
house Sunday afternoon, June 19.
Mrs. Elizabeth Procter of Bel
grave visited with Mrs. Larry
Mayberry of Londesboro on Mon
day, June 12 and also visited with
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Zettler and
family of RR 4, Walkerton for a few
days.
The afternoon unit of the U.C.W.
was held June 12 with 10 ladies
present. Mrs. Sara Anderson was

The list of guests to be invited to
the over “80” birthday party was
revised and plans made.
Mrs. Edith Vincent opened the
worship service with the singing of
the hymn “Son of my Soul”. Mrs.
Vincent based her remarks on
Colossians 3: 12 and Jeremiah 1:
4-5. Her meditation was taken from
the booklet, “I’ll be glad to give a
devotion”. “A man needs a tool
chest” for meditation. From the
scripture we might deduce that
God has a purpose for each person.
His purpose for Jeremiah was to be
a prophet. “Am I fullfilling my
purpose?” Let us pretend we have
been given a new toolbox of life.
What shall we put in it?”
We need salvation; the Golden
Rule and there are many other tools
held in scripture that we should
also have. There are some tools we
do not want such as malice and
fear. Our toolchest must have small
compartments filled with Christian
virtues. The hymn “Trusting Je
sus” was sung and prayer by Mrs.
Vincent.
Mrs. Margaret Taylor continued
the study of Matthew by Wm.
Barcley. Mrs. Janisa Coultes used

at service
A Memorial Servi was held at
Trinity Anglican Ch rch, Belgrave,
on Sunday, June 18 i i memory of
Miss Lillian Potter, cc*? ducted by
the rector, Rev. Douglas Madge.
Miss Potter graduated- as a
teacher from Queen’s University,
Kingston ana spent her working
years in the field of education. She
went- to Japan as an exchange
teacher and while there travelled to
China and Korea to learn of the
culture of these people.
Because of poor health she came
to live in Belgrave and while here
was a member of the Women’s
Institute and A.C.W. She contri
buted much to her church and
community and will be missed by
her many friends which was evi
dent by the large number who
attended the service to pay tribute
to her memory.
The reports are conflicting. We are
told of the opening of 4,000
Protestant churches which is noth
ing compared to the underground
gatherings. From the beginning of
Communist rule the question of
religion in China was what was
called its “United Front”. The
decision makers in the church were
often foreigners and their ideas
conflicted with the Chinese Com
munist Party (C.C.P.).
The Christians realized that the
C.C.P. was using religion from a
socialistic ideal not spiritual at all.
After 10 years of suppression and
strife of the United Front, the
C.C.P. affirmed new policies. Reli
gious representatives in the
government have succeeded in
getting statements concerning the
right to religious beliefs. The
meeting concluded with prayer.
