PAGE 13. Rev. Ross plays for Bible study On Nov. 30, a sumptuous pot luck dinner was enjoyed by UCW -Member, their husbands, friends and former members. This was followed by entertainment with Marilyn Verbeek as organizer and MC. Jessie Naylor had the marked chair. She was a member in Auburn for a number of years and is now in Goderich. She received a gift. Marilyn Verbeek gave a humorous reading on "Room for Pie", Elva Armstrong also had everyone laughing with "Santa Claus". Margaret Bakker and Rev. Ross lit the advent candles for the occasion. The beautiful old hymn Star of the East was played by Marjorie McDougall. A play on Jesus's birth was performed by Laura Mae Chamney as the Virgin Mary, Teresa Roetiscinder as Joseph, Grace Cartwright as Martha and Elva Armstrong as the angel who came to Mary. Bernice Anderson spoke on "I Remember Christmas", which brought back memories A gift to Rev. Ross for his teaching and preaching was presented by Ethel Ball, Presbytry representative. For the final Bible Study meeting of this season on Dec. 1, Betsey Verwey invited the group to her home. There was an excellent attendance. Rev. Paul Ross played his keyboard and everyone sang. Betsey Verwey sang in Latin which she sang in the choir in her homeland and Teresa Roetiscinder sang in Dutch! After lunch was served by the hostess, the study hour began, starting at chapter 21 to the end of the book of Acts. Members followed Paul's trip on to Jerusalem. Paul is arrested because they considered him disobeying the Jewish laws. Some people rioted against him and others stood by his side. They planned to gather evidence and kill him. But Paul insisted that he be taken to Italy and on the way there they were in bad weather aboard ship. Paul spoke to the captain and warned that the weather would get worse. He did not listen and their ship broke up. They made it to the island of Malta, where they were welcomed. While there, Paul cured the ill. Though he was a prisoner in Rome he told all that he had only done good. Finally he was released. He was given a rented house and for the next two years he preached and cured. A gift was presented to Rev. Ross by the group and he was thanked for his inspiring teaching and preaching. Knox United prepares for White Sunday Organ prelude welcomed all to the service at 10 a.m., Dec. 6 in Knox United. Next Sunday is White Gift Service and also the Christmas pageant. Soup and sandwich lunch will follow with proceeds of this for the Native Healing Fund. The Advent Candle was lit and Advent prayer said in unison. The Bible lesson from the Old Testament was from Isaiah 11. In this it is told of the Spirit of the Lord and wisdom, understanding, counsel, might and knowledge. Peace comes to earth and the Word of God is followed. New Testament reading, by Rev. Paul Ross, was from Luke 1 - Mary, Mother of Jesus, went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Elizabeth was filled with the Spirit and told Mary that the fruit of her womb was blessed and that wonders would happen. Rev. Ross's message was on "Peace and Joy", a continuance of the Bible readings. Walkerburns sign cards On Dec. 2. at 1:30 p.m., a lovely autumn day, Ila Cunningham welcomed all but two members of the Walkerburn Club to her home. Everyone welcomed Sherry Blay to the fold and hopes she will be able to be with them regularly. First on the agenda was the signing of Christmas cards for former members and friends. Plans were made for gifts for some people. Roll Call was answered with gifts for the Children's Aid. A new date for the meeting was discussed, probably the second Wednesday of the month. Martha Daer was the lucky winner of the draw. She is going to Goderich for the winter months so _members were delighted to see her win and look forward to her coming home in the spring. A miscellaneous sale was held. Betsey Verwey was the capable auctioneer. Proceeds will be donated to the Salvation Army.
