Prayer of Confession and pardon were next. The children were called to the front as the hymn Jesus Loves the Little Children was sung. Rev. Ross’s mystery bag produced two rag-a-muffin toys, a horse and a turtle. The horse was too timid to go into the woods and so was the turtle.

The children went downstairs to their respective classes. The congregation sang, / Heard the Voice of Jesus Say, followed by Rev. Ross telling the story of Job. He was a good man. He feared but trusted God. He became quite ill but refused to blame Him for his illness. He followed this with a flute solo Pit Jesu from Webers Requiem. He continued with scripture from Mark 10. He spoke about adultery, divorce, etc and how Jesus rebuked the disciples for turning away children. He told them to allow them to come to him and He blessed them. The sermon was "Together". Rev. Ross spoke of the illness and worries that can come into lives. But there are always those who will assist - out of the darkness, light will always come. He spoke of children who are part of God's kingdom and that people must receive God as a small child in order to go Heaven. He closed with prayer. A. Thompson hosts study An excellent Bible Study was held at Audrey Thompson's, Londesboro on Sept. 30. There was a large attendance. The lesson was from "The Lamentations of Jeremiah".

This week's Bible Study will meet at Ethel Ball's home and the book is "The Songs of Solomon". Thanksgiving Day is Monday, Oct. 13. A number of students will be returning home for the holiday weekend. The communion hymn Jesus Thou Joy of Loving Hearts was sung. The elders Elva Armstrong, Tina Empey, Rick Archambault and Gregory Park came to the front. Communion service followed. Collection was then received from the church and the Sunday School. Doxology was sung and offertory prayer given. The closing hymn was How Firm a Foundation followed by benediction and amens.

The members admired her new home and particularly the lovely cabinet, full of dolls with several in bride's costumes. The family had given her this for her recent birthday. Ethel Ball opened the meeting with several quotes followed by Vera giving an excellent poem "When God Created Mothers" followed by prayer. Business took over.

Martha Daer has also given the club several yards of flannelette. It was decided that comforters be made. Roxie Adams, Goderich, sent word that her grandson had won a quilt that the club donated. One hundred dollars of its ticket sale went for charity. When business was completed, Bernice Norman read "Autumn Calling", "Hill Ahead" and "Hands", very worthwhile readings. She continued with riddles which kept the members guessing. Betty Archambault brought to everyone's attention the courses on macrame and on Christmas trees made from hangers and lights. The price for courses is $5. Contact her for more information. Ruth invited members to the dining room table where Grace was said. She treated all to cake and ice cream which was thoroughly enjoyed.
