(Staff Photo) Former Guelph chaplain speaks at Baptist Church Rev. Arman Wright, B. Th., a former chaplain of the Guelph Reformatory, was guest speaker at the morning worship service in the Wingham Baptist Church on Sunday. Mr. Wright, a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, and EmmanuelBible . College, Kitchener, spoke about his work as Executive Director of the "Ray of Hope" program, a pro- ject through which Christian help is provided for men and women in Canadian penis institutions. He tised asiiistext Portions of Psalm 27. Ray of Hope was founded in 1967 by a group of persons con- cerned about the many needs and problems facing inmates in our penal institutions during the period of imprisonment and following their release. It is a non -denominational organiza- tion, evangelical in belief and outreach. A non-profit organiza- tion, Ray of Hope is dependent on voluntary contributions to con- tinue its work. Some of its services include Bible correspondence courses, made available without charge to inmates of penal institutions; science films which are shown in institutions; counselling services for the inmate and his family; as- sistance for . persons awaiting trial; and help in securing temporary living accommo- . dation in a Christian home. The organization also attempts to secure employment for the dis- charged inmate trying to find his place in society. Mr. Wright was the protestant Pro-life group first anniversary An executive meeting of The Voice of the Unborn, the Wing - ham pro-life group, was held Wednesday, November 6. The minutes of the last meeting and the treasurer's report were pre- sented and approved. Since the last meeting of the group, the Wingham, Goderich and Walkerton pro-life organiza- tions have sponsored a pro-life booth at the Teeswater Fair; Mrs. Sally Campeau, Miss Barbara Murray, Dr. L. L. Clarke and Rev. A. J. Nolan have presented information to the Purple Grove Women's Institute; and Rev. Carson, chairman of the education committee, has made two presentations to young people's groups in Blyth and Brussels. Application has been made for a charter for the Wingham pro- life organization. When obtained official receipts for income tax purposes can be given for dona- tions. January 28, 1975, will be the first anniversary of this organ- ization. An annual meeting will be held near that time. The nominating committee will scout for officers previous to the meet- ing. Rev. Carson is drafting a letter to go to community organizations to inform them of the willingness of the Wingham pro-life group to speak to community organiza- tions. Such presentations include "Abortion — How It Is", a slide and tape talk by Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Wilke. Ideas for increasing the mem- bership included having a "Mem- bership Sunday" at the area churches and challenging each present member to bring a new member. A letter from the Hamilton right -to -life organizationwas read. The purpose of this letter was to consult all pro-life groups regarding the possibility of directing, in union, some of the activities toward the provincial government. chaplain of the Guelph Reforma- tory for ten years and of Hillcrest Training School for boys for three years. In November of 1970 he suggested that a special com- mittee be formed to investigate the establishment of a home for teenage boys on probation before entering penal institutions.. In the fall of 1972 construction was started on, a new building on the New,Dundee—Petersburg High- wa3Ill about six miles from Kit- clicker. it- ch 'ter. Hope.Manor was opened tq receive residents„in June 1973. Hope Manor is designed to accommodate from 16-20 boys who assume part of the responsi- bility of maintaining the home. The training program includes music, crafts, hobbies, up- holstery, carpentry and model building. Residents can continue their education in a local secon- dary school or take a corres- pondence course. There are also several recreational opportuni- ties available to them. Mr. Wright is available to confer with the residents when they require spiritual guidance. Hope Manor is just one way of bringing that all-important "Ray of Hope" to many men who feel shunned by society. To them, acceptance and a chance to begin again, can be the lifelines that keep them from turning back.

This was the question posed by Mrs. J. Brydges as she read an article, "Thoughts for Peace in Our Time", written. by Mrs. F. McArthur, at the regular meeting of St. Paul's Anglican Church Wo- men. "As Remembrance Day ap- proaches," Mrs. Brydges said, "our hearts stir in an urgent de- sire for world peace. In Canada we are fortunate but elsewhere is a world of trouble that threatens us all. Nations want peace but continue to spend millions on armaments and other prepara- tions for war." The speaker cited four ways in which many of us can help achieve some degree of peace. First, she mentioned prayer, stating the poet's words: "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of."' Sec- ondly, she urges that we have faith that the world can become better. "If a person firmly be- lieves that there is a loving God who cares about people and stands ready to help and support them," said Mrs. Brydges, "that person has a Source of strength to help him face any problem." As her third example, she cited the one-to-one relationship with others, those casual daily con- tacts, and how to make them a quiet little force, for good. She illustrated her point with the poem, "Touching Shoulders with You". As her last example, she spoke of the words, "If you want to change the world start with one person". In our relationships with others, we should "begin by accepting the person for what he is, not what we think he ought to be." She told her listeners, "At the end of the year look back and ask yourself if there is anyone who is a little less aggressive in his outlook on life because of you and your way of life. If the an- swer is yes, you have scored a point for peace." Mrs. Brydges closed her talk with a poem entitled, "Lamps". The meeting opened with a hymn and prayers were led by the president, Mrs. E. Powell. Mrs. M. Bradburn read Psalm 46. Theroll..was answered with a verse 'about love. Mrs. D. Farnell conducted the program for the Least Coin, cor- respondence was read and financial reports were received from the treasurer and the ban- quet convener. Shur calendars were then distribut Mrs. J. Kerr was appointed to head the committee for the bazaar to be held in the parish basement on Wednesday, No- vember 27, commencing at 2:30 o'clock. Mrs. Farnell gave a report of the ACW Deanery meeting held in Walkerton on Nov. 4.
