Injustice" was the theme for the
Spring Rally of the Maitland
Presbyterial held at Belmore on
Monday, May 11.
Children from the Belmore

from the prophet Amos and the
thought that so often justice is
translated to "just us".
Connie Rassman of Molesworth
led in prayer.
The worship service on the theme
was conducted by Molesworth
afternoon group with Marguerite
Beirnes reading the scripture from
John 8: 1-11 and Audrey Adair
giving the meditation. This
suggested that by following the
Golden Rule of treating others as
one's self can help to bring justice
in the area. Mrs. Beirnes closed
with prayer.
Wilma Clarke had handed out
notices, registration forms and lists
of duties for each group for the
Children's Rally to be held at Camp
Kintail on June 10 from 5 - 9 p.m.

the work of the WMS through the

speakers Pastor Wayne and Mrs.
Gloria Topping of Fordwich
Brethen in Christ Church. Pastor
Topping addressed the theme
"Shaping Tomorrow's World"
through his slide presentation
depicting their work while in Cuba.
Mrs. Topping spoke on a more
personal note. She told of working
with young people, and of how one
young women became a Christian
during their stay in Cuba. Mrs.
Topping said, "Go to a resort if you
just want a vacation, but to learn
about the real Cuba you must live
with the people".
Special music by "Knox Knotes"
- Marion Mundell, Wendy Stewart,
Muriel Neilson, Margaret
Underwood of Gorrie and Ann
Johnston of Listowel accompanied
by organist Pattie .Haasnoot added

Mrs. Jean Mathers of Bluevale
spoke about ACWW. She said
members who live in rural and
urban areas, are representatives of
many races, nationalities and
creeds. They believe that peace and
progress can best be advanced by
friendship and understanding
through communication and
working together to improve the
quality of life for all people.
Mrs. Mathers likened the Branch
members to the "Little Engine"
who when asked to pull a load said
"I think I can, I think I can." She

guest speaker, Anna McCoskcry
from Strathroy. She had been one
of six delegates from the
Presbyterian Church in Canada to
attend the 23rd General Council of
the World Alliance of Reformed
Churches in Debrecen, Hungary
Aug. 5-20, 1997. There were over
1,000 people from 104 countries
meeting to worship and work
together to break the chains of
injustice. They were given a
translation headset that could be
tuned in to seven different
languages.
With the use of slides, short
videos and several mementoes she
was able to share with everyone
some of her memorable
experiences. One delegate from
Myanmar (formerly Burma) had
taken 10 days to arrive at the
Conference. He had walked three
days, rowed a boat for two days,
spent two days on a ship before
taking a small plane to Rangoon,
another plane to Bangkok, another
to Zurich, then from there to
Budapest which is three hours west
of Debrecen.
Each morning, worship
commenced at 8 a.m. with the
Bible studies based on Isaiah 58: 1-
12. It was prepared by contributors
from different parts of the world
and edited by Dr. Stephen Farris, a
minister of the Presbyterian Church
in Canada. It was a very emotional
experience to be able to sing the
familiar hymns in many different
languages, she said.
Erlma Haldenby thanked the
speaker for sharing this memorable
time with us all and Helen Elliott of
Brussels thanked everyone for their
contribution to the meeting.
