The Worship was prepared by Minnie Curts and Edna Woodburn. Readings en- titled "Spring" and "China" were given. Mrs. Curts' grand -daughter from Sarnia Margot Baird then told us her "Impressions of China." She had been lucky enough to travel to China with a Chinese family last summer and among other things had learned to eat with chopsticks quite well. She had a book of interesting snapshots which she shared with us. We found this talk to be very educational. The hymn "Showers of Blessing" and "The Beautiful Garden of Prayer" were sung. During the business meeting it was decided to buy twenty-five more chairs as we need them for our strawberry supper which will be held on June 20. Plans were made for the supper and other business was discussed. A tasty lunch was served by the hostess assisted by Shirley Eagleson and Anne Walper, and a social hour followed Family Day was observed in the United Church on Sun- day with special music by both choirs and Karen Guenther at the piano ac- companied the organist Evelyn Curts. The Sacra- ment of Baptism was held and Meredith Regan, daughter of Carol and Ronald Sayeau of Trenton was baptized. Carol's parents Ross and Violet Brown and Ron's mother Mrs. Sayeau were present for the ceremony. The McGregor family presented a new Pulpit Bible in memory of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hugh McGregor. It was dedicated during the service. Bible Study is being held at the church on Tuesday night of this week. Anna Eagleson and Velma Ritchie attended the Women's Institute Officer's Conference at Waterloo University this week. It lasted for three days and the ladies found it very en- joyable. Carl and Marion Steeper entertained their family on Mother's Day. The Wind-up: Lady - How far is it to the next garage?
