onPerth Presbyterial
U.C.W. annual in Mitchell
The annual meeting of the
Huron -Perth United Church Wo-
men Presbytetlal was held in
Mitchell United Church last
Wednesday with Mrs. Harold
Babensee presiding over the
sessions. The theme of the pro-
gram was "Deeper Commitment
--Wider Horizons".
Rev. Morley Clark, Christ-
ian Education secretary for Lon-'
don Conference, enlarged on
the theme in his morning ad-'
dress, "Come Alive". It was
an arresting a d d re ss . Rev.
Clark stated that, Christians are
more likely to be damned for
what they fail to do, rather than
what they do.. The audience •
took part in a lively' disqussion
on the needs of church com-
munities.
Mrs. B. C. Neice, Essex,
was the afternoon speaker. She
likened the UCW members to
the disciples who asked, "What.
shall we do?" Her address an-
swered this question for today's
world and strangely enough, it
was the same as Christ told the
' disciples, "Believe in Him".
It is important to have a
basic attitude in life, a deep.
personal trust. The United
Church' can no longer be a
preaching church. It must be a
.listening church, a church lis-
tening to its people and -their
problems. • Men. and women
will go forward together asking
God continually, "What can we
do?". "Believe.on Him. Let
go and let God direct our, lives,"
advised Mrs. Neice.
Mrs. Neice also answered
the gttestion, "Why stud y
China?". God regards, all peo-
ple as brothers and He is corn-
rnitted to therm even if they•are
not 6ommitted to Him.
Using his guitar the Rev..
Morley Clark led the afternoon
sing -song and Mrs. A.J. Mowat,
WesIey-Wiliis , UCW Clinton,
O
