Burial Woodland Cemetery, London. Chancel Choir Sings WROXETER— The chancel choir occupied the choir loft last Sunday, under the direc- tion of the organist, Mrs. A. Edwin Martin. The junior choir sang in two-part harmony, "Smiles like Sunbeams", by Hewitt and Doughty. The intermediate choir joined the juniors to sing the hymn, "Jesus Loves Me". Rev. F. Taylor gave an im- pressive message on the Word of God. The psalmist did not have a Bible such as we have. Ile had the word of God, a liv- ing thing which had been put into his heart by God. Up to that time he did not know about the Crucifixion or the Resurrection of Jesus. ": he Bible gives word pic- tures of people being tempted and even perishing, while others tempted came out vic- torious. Sin and temptation are part of life and it must be overcome as far as humanly possible that God's plan may win over Satan's. Jesus had the proper words for every occa- sion, even when tempted by the devil. Some haven't the time or use for God's word, us- ing lesser literature that may catch them in the coils of sin. Paul asks Christians to put on the whole armor of God, to gird their loins with God's truth. The sword to fight for right is the word of God. Mr. Taylor said there are passages in the Bible for every trouble.

BUILT 100 YEARS AGO The Presbyterian congrega- tion in Belgrave was organized in 1864. Lumber was donated for a church. The building was completed by the summer of 1865, which served the Presby- terians until 1899 when a new edifice was erected at a costof $4, 000. The land was purchas- ed in 1893 from William Mc- Crae for $80. The original church was sold to Dr. Kirby and used for a stable and gar- age, on property now owned by Martin Grasby. Knox Church became Knox United Church when the con- gregations of the Methodist and Presbyterian Churches decided to unite in 1925. The former Methodist Church was sold to the continuing Presbyterians. ORGANIZA TIONS After 1925 there were two organizations for women, the Women's Missionary Society and the Women's Association, the latter concerning itself with local matters and the W.M.S. with welfare and missionary work at home and abroad. In 1962 the two groups came to- gether to form the United Church Women. Baby Bands and Mission Bands flourished under the guidance of the WMS until 1962, when the responsi- bility was transferred to the Christian Education Committee. The groups are now known as Messengers and Explorers. C. G.I. T. first came into being under Mrs. James S c o - bie's leadership and was re -or- ganized in 1950 by Mrs. W.J. Moores. C.G. I. T. is an in- terdenominational group. There is the Hi -C Group for young people and the Sunday School provides religious edu- cation for all age groups.

Your family would still have to be clothed and fed. The mortgage, the light bill and the heating would have to be paid — not to mention medical expenses. That's why it's a good idea to arrange for disability income through The Mutual Life. You can add disability income protection to your present Mutual Life policy for a small additional charge — or include it with a new plan. Then if, through sickness or accident, you were unable to work for a certain length of time — Mutual Life would pay you a monthly income. (It would begin after a three or six month waiting period depending on your choice) . And, what's more, Mutual Life would pay your premiums as well.
