Christian Gospel Hoc For Followers of Inc ia' The January meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church was opened with a call worship and prayer by the president, Miss Verna Mc- Laughlin. The program for the `month was in charge of Mrs. II. V. Pym and Mrs. J. W. Mc- Kibbon. The Scripture lesson from John's Gospel the fourteenth chapter and the first fourteen verses and the meditation were given by Miss Agnes William- son. She referred to the ques- tion of Thomas, "How can we know the way?" The Hindu would accept Jesus as one way to come to God, but not the way. To the Muslim, Jesus is a great teacher, but not the way to God. To the Christian, Jesus is the only way to God. "He who has seen Me has seen the Father". Christ is the truth. His words are true and His ac- tions are true. If we, His followers, say one thing and do another, our teaching is wasted. Since their independence, the people of India now see that the missionaries really do love them and want to help them, s Apoeal s religions that they are not there under the orders of the British govern- ment, but because of the div- ine commission. Christ is the life. He alone can give to our lives a purpose and a goal as well as strength and power to achieve that purpose. Mrs. Farrish Moffat offered prayer for missionary work in all the world, and especially for the church in India, direct- ing the petitions of all present while they engaged in silent prayer. The subject under discussion fo; the day was "Why are we, the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada in India today?" The an- swers to this question were pre- sented in the form of a dialogue in which Mrs. H. V. Pym, Miss Agnes Williamson, Mrs. J. W. McKibbon, Mrs. F. Moffat and Mrs. George Tervit took part. About eighty per cent of the people of India are Hindus, about two per cent are Christian while the rest are followers of Islam, Sikhs, Parsis, Jains, Bud- dhists, and tribal religions. Dis- cussion brought out the fact that the caste system may have de- veloped from the Hindu relig- ion. Originally, there were four main castes: the Brahmins, who were custodians of learning and spiritual lore; the warrior class, who were kings and mili- tary protectors; the producers, who controlled trade and econ- omic life; and the unskilled workers, who provided manual labour. In addition to these, there was a group with no caste at all, or untouchables. Many leaders, including Mr. Gandhi, have tried to wipe out the sys- tem, but so far they have not succeeded. The Christian gospel has a particular appeal to the follow- ers ofthe various religions of India. Many Hindus turn to Christianity because they want a God who will love them and guide them; they cannot contin- ue to believe that life is just an endless cycle in which man is trapped. In Jesus Christ, they find God is love expressed in One who gave His life to atone for man's sin; in Him they find a God who cares, who changes life, and who offers guidance, and His continuing presence. Muslims, too, need to know of the joy in Heaven over one re- SCHNEIDERS COUNTRY STYLE SAUSAGE BURNS SMOKED DINNER HAMS SCHNEIDERS BONELESS FRESH PICNIC ROAST Cottage Rolls COLEMAN'S SMOKED PICNIC NOW IS THE TIME TO STOCK YOUR HOME FREEZER AT THESE LOW PRICES!

The Bhil people practise the primitive religion of animism, and are in constant terror of their gods. Those who turn to Christianity find that to have a God who so loved the world that He gave His only Son changes that world from dark- ness to light. In closing, the question was asked "Do the people of India in their newly independent state want help from Canada and the West?" They do still need our help to train their workers for leadership, they want us as partners and equals working to- gether. India is on the thresh- old of great things and still needs our prayers, our money, and our active participation. Letters were read from Mrs. Dickson concerning recent floods in Formosa; work of the medical centre at Vellore, South India; and from Miss Laura Collar, as she looked for- ward to her first Christmas in Bethlehem. Mrs, Horace Aitchison sang a beautiful solo,"God's To- morrow", accompanied by Mrs. W. E. Ford. Prayers were of- fered by Mrs. J. W. McKibbon and Mrs. H. V. Pym.

The wedding ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents in Mildmay, and Mr. Dane recalls that their wedding day was cold and very stormy.
