Visitors from the United Church were present. The meeting opened with a hymn, followed with prayer by the president. Mrs. Harold King read the Scripture. Mrs. Fred W. Taylor sang a hymn, accompanied by Mrs. Norman Carson. Mrs. Homer Geddes of Han- over was the guest speaker and showed colored pictures of her trip to South East Asia, and told of the wonderful work done by missionaries in the schools and orphanages. A hymn was sung and a thank offering re- ceived. The meeting closed with prayer and lunch was served by the members of the Guild and the hostess, Mrs. Perry Strong. WROXETER-The junior and intermediate choirs of the United Church led the songs of praise on Palm Sunday. Mrs, M, Mulvey, at the piano, assis- ted the organist, Mrs. A.E. Martin in duets for the prelude, hymns and postlude. The juniors sang "He Lives" by Hall and Yale, in two-part harmony. A verse section was taken by Doreen Riley, Brenda Townsend, Nancy Clarke and Heather Alcorn. The intermediate girls sang, in two and three part harmony, "Love Led Him to Calvary" by Webster and Gabriel. Rev. F. Taylor spoke of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Jesus came to reveal God to man. The name "King" was used frequently in the Lord's last days. Pilate asked, "Are you king of the Jews?" The prison guard inquired, "Do you want the king of the Jews re- leased?" and the crowd at the cross jeered "If he is king, let him come down from the cross." The idea of kingship could have been a temptation to Jesus but John's story of Him shows His kingship was not of this world. He received His heavenly throne through the cross. We must claim Him or deny Him. Palm Sunday is in- complete unless we accept Jesus, Mr. Taylor told his con- gregation. W.I.
