The President Gertrude
Feagan welcomed all
present and opened the

of an Easter poem. Ruby
Webster and her group

poem, and a story. She
also read the Easter story
from the Book of St. John.

was sung.
A very timely message
on Easter was given by
Mrs. Webster. There are
still as many doubters to-
day about the meaning of
Easter as there were
before the Resurrection
of Jesus. Belief in the
Resurrection gives us
hope for the future and a
time of Peace.

TRUTH
The ship was sinking. "Everyone for himself!", ordered
the captain. The passengers and crew seized anything
they could find to help keep them from drowning and
lumped overboard.
Finally, the captain, thinking all had gone was buckling
on his life -belt and was ready to lump into the sea. He
took a final glance around and saw the white,
frightened little face of,,q boy - a stowaway.
Without pausing to consider who was deserving or un-
deserving, the captain took off his life -belt and buckled
it round the boy saying, "I can swim, you take this
belt."
The heavy surf and huge waves tossed man and boy
about. Finally the boy was tossed up on the beach,
bruised but living. The captain could not survive In such
a sea. The foaming surf was too much for him.
The boy told his story to the other survivors and every
heart was moved as the lad said, "He gave himself for
me."
That is the meaning of Christ's death on the cross. It
was for us as individuals. We can receive the good of
His death for us by faith. Ephesians 2:8,9.

"OUT OF THIS WORLD SAVINGS RIGHT IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBOURHOOD"
�u me treatment given
immigrants to Canada by
our own Canadian
citizens. She referred to a
1978 article written by
Rev. Bruce McLeod for
the United Church
Observer in which he felt
deep concern for the non-
white residents of the
City of Toronto. We tend
to forget that people of
different races and
creeds in Canada have
enriched our country by
their own individual
contributions; also that
an "all -black Platoon"
known as Runchey's
colored Corps from the
Simcoe County area
fought for the British in
the War of 1812-1814. The
ability to live together is
the challenge Canada can
offer. Faith must be
woven together if we as a
country are to survive.
The Quilt made as a
unit project in 1978 has
been donated to a family
whose home was
destroyed by fire. Ger-
trude Feagan donated the
materials for another
such project for '79.
Drusilla McMurray

print to be made into
