This was followed by the hymn, "The Head that once Was Crown- ed with Thorns". Mrs. Dunbar introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. Robert Campbell of Wingham. Mrs. Campbell chose as her topic "The Cost of Living". Good living means different things to different°people. When Jesus was living on earth He had no mate- rial wealth; but tried to tell men that He was a free gift from God to man. In this do-it-yourself age we don't like to take a free gift, given to us at such tremendous cost to God. The cost of living `eternally was paid for by Jesus and is our. to . claim if only we would accept it. A piano solo, "O Master Let Me Walk with Thee", was played by Mrs. Dalrymple. Mrs. Victor Youngblut thanked the speaker and all those who helped with the meeting. "All the Way My Saviour Leads Me" was sung. Mrs. Dunbar closed the m_ eet- ing with prayer.

A short .business period fol- lowed after which the guest 'speaker;: Miss Lavonne Ballagh of 'Wingham, was introduced by Mrs. Golley, Miss Ballagh chose as her topic, `Easter 1973". She stressed that the God we worship is "alive" `sand because He lives we have a chance tolive also. Anyone that doubts the ressurec- tion doubts God: Christ is alive and Christ *as crucified but most important of all Christ "arose". With God nothing is impossible. What does the .Resurrection mean to us now? It means new life here and now, not just after death. Mrs. Bernard Thomas thanked Miss Ballagh for her inspiring words and presented her with a gift. Mrs. J. J. Elliott and Mrs. Joe Walker received the offering which was dedicated by Mrs. Gulley. Larry and Paul then sang a duet, namely "He".
