UCW hears
The Afternoon Unit of the
U.C.W. met in the schoolroom of
Knox United Church, Belgrave
with an attendance of nine. Mrs.
Mary Hunter was in charge and
opened the meeting with singing
the hymn “We Have Come into His
House”.
The secretary's and treasurer's
report were given. The next meet
ing will be October 7.
Mrs. Edith Vincent had the wor
ship service and opened with verses
of the hymn “All People that on
Earth do Dwell,” and read part of
Psalms 95 and 126.
A meditation was given on
“Planting and Reaping”. Everyday
we have a handful of seed to plant.
The seed of friendship is one we
start planting early in life. We
should make the most of every
opportunity to be a friend and to
make friends.
Another important seed we have
to plant each day of our lives is the
seed of love. In John 15: 18 we
read “Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down his
life for his friends.”
There is a very important seed
called study. The harvest we reap
in adult life will often be gauged by
the amount of study we do as we go
through school. Work is a seed we
need to plant early and we must not
forget the seed of good health

of poverty
hibits for as you plant so will the
harvest be.
The two verses of hymn “Count
your blessings” was sung and a
prayer was said.
Mrs. Olive Bolt had the Bible
Study based on Matt. 6: 16-18,
“How not to Fast”. Fasting is an
essential part of the religious life in
the past. Jesus' words in Malt. 6,
16-18 imply that there is a wise
fasting in which a Christian is
expected to take part. Fasting is
good for the health. Fasting is good
for self discipline. Fasting pre
serves us from slaves of habit and
the ability to do without. Fasting
makes us appreciate things all the
more. Fasting for its own sake was
valueless.
For Bible Study Mrs. Mary
Hunter used the special edition of
the Mandate for the “The Feminine
Face of Poverty”. In Canada the
number of poor women is growing
at an alarming rate. Most of us
would consider as poor any indi
viduals or families who do not have
money to provide their basic needs.
What are “basic needs” in our
society and what are “luxuries?”
The Mission and Service Fund of
the United Church of Canada is
committed to ensuring all people
have adequate resources to live a
fulfilling life. The meeting closed
with the singing of hymn “God Be
With You 'Till We Meet Again”.

grave Ball Park on September 11.
The afternoon started out with a
ball game, parents against the chil

the kids won, of course. It was all
due to the great coaching through
out the entire season. After this

the barbecue which was enjoyed by
family members as well as the
team.
The evening ended up with the
presentation of trophies presented
and purchased by the coaches.
