PAGE 21 Melville Guild, WNIS lead Sunday service Mary Huether and Betty Shaw were the greeters at Melville Presbyterian Church last Sunday morning. As it was Mission Awareness Sunday, the entire service was presented by . the Melville Guild and Women's Missionary Society. Rev. Cathrine Campbell was attending the PreSbyterian Church of Canada's Clerk's Conference in Toronto from April 23 - 27. Janna Dodds led the congregation in the Call to Worship, then accompanied by organist Crystal McLellan. the hymn, Stand Up and Bless the Lord. was sung. A piano solo entitled The Spider Dance was contributed, by Eliza Dodds while the congregation exchanged welcomes. After the children's hymn, Jesus Bids Us Shine, Sunday school superintendent Elaine Armstrong moved to the front with the children. She held up a map of the world so they could see how far it is from Canada to India, and she told them the story of two Canadian missionary doctors, John and Mary Buchanan, who had met and married while pursuing their common mission in India. They went to help the people of a Hill tribe, who suffered extreme poverty and disease, and did not know of Jesus's coming. Mrs. Armstrong told about the school and hospital they'd built there, and how every Sunday morning when the bell rang, the people of the community moved down the path toward the church, loudly announcing in their own language "Jesus Christ reigns". Mrs. Armstrong told the children that they too contribute to missionary work, as their Easter breakfast earned $500 this year to support their sponsored child in South Africa. Also through their Shoebox Project they send needed items to people all over the world once each year. Finally Mrs. Armstrong referred back to the children's hymn and said, " When Jesus bids us shine, it is in that we should shine through helping others." Mrs. Dodds read Psalm 145: 1 - 13. The scripture lesson was Isaiah 6: 1 - 8 read by Leona Armstrong. Acts 8: 1 - 8, 26 - 40 was read by Mrs. Dodds. The sermon entitled Whom Shall I Send was written by Ann and Charles Taylor and presented by Julia Mitchell. Mrs. Mitchell first talked of the gift of giving, and that people can give many things including a smile, a kind word, appreciation, time, hope, happiness and encouragement, and that the amount that you give determines the amount that you have as all things are returned to you. Mrs. Mitchell referred to Isaiah's recruitment by God and how a seraph placed a live coal from the altar on his lips to cleanse him. His response to God was, "Here am I. Send me". This is the commission to the faithful who see a need and turn to God, are overwhelmed by their unworthiness, then are cleansed by God and sent forth to do good. she said. Just as an angel sent Philip down a wilderness road toward Gaza where he encountered and converted a eunuch, men and women today respond to God's call and go into the mission field td help others. And not just in far away countries either, as Mrs. Mitchell told us of several missionaries active in the Toronto area. Mrs. Dodds contributed information about the Out of the Cold Program in Toronto that originated from St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and serves as a model for others in that city and in other towns across Canada. Their mission statement is that the poor must be fed and cared for in a loving way, and with 200 volunteers and an annual budget of $50,000 they help thousands by providing hot meals, a bed and medical attention to the homeless and disadvantaged in Toronto. Collection was taken up by Leanne Armstrong, Bill Aitchison and Brian Armstrong. Next Sunday is Earth Day. There will be a special service to reflect this. The 150th anniversary committee will meet May 4. Melville Moments ... by Gerald Gibson The Moderator, Rev. Mann, called a meeting on March 19, 1918 to discuss Mr. Mulhero6's (organist) resignation. After a thorough discussion of the matter, the resignation was accepted and that he be paid the rate of $350 per original contract or otherwise remain until the end of his year ending Oct. 1 at $500. Mr. Mulheron, seated first, he accepted the conditions of the resolution presented to him, and then he subsequently gave notice that he decided not to accept it. The board and session then called upon Solicitor Vanstone of Wingham for advice on the matter. Later a telegram was received from Mr. Vanstone which stated that they would be quite safe to pay the choir leader to the end of the present quarter and then to dismiss him at once. A notice of motion was given by D. C. Ross and Alex Stewart that they move to rescind the former resolution regarding Mr. Mulheron's resignation. Parish nurse guest speaker at Diabetic Group meeting The Brussels, Morris and Grey diabetic meeting was held at Huronlea, Brussels on April 21 with 12 members present. Guest speaker was Janna Dodds. parish nurse at Melville Presbyterian Church. She holds certificates in natural health care, reflexology, ear candling and recently became a chartered herbalist. Mrs. Dodds spoke to the group about natural supplements and dietary ways to lower the release of glucose into the bloodstream. She also covered lifestyle changes and how stress can play a factor in keeping blood sugar ba- lanced. Her comments included, "If God didn't make it, don't eat it." She covered many supplements and distributed handouts on diet, supplements and herbal remedies, as well as glycemic index chart and a comparison of sugar sub- stitutes. Mrs. Dodds pointed out that most people do not eat enough-vegetables and fruit. She suggested eating more of the free vegetables and fruits and vegetables from the lower end of the glycemic index. She closed with an overhead graphic and humorous slide presentation. Members also noted that any changes to their diets or supplements should be checked out with their diabetic professional. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Nelva Scott asked those who attended the Diabetic Education Day in Stratford how they enjoyed the day. The last meeting of the spring season will be May 19 with Dr. S. Edwards as speaker. A brief directors' meeting followed where the fall meetings and speakers were discussed. As well, it was pointed out that nominations for directors for the 2004-05 year would have to be brought forward at the September meeting.
