Mrs. Bradburn gives
topic at ACW meeting
"Old and young must work to,
gether to take their parts in re-
juvenating the church and solv-
ing our problems in the world
today."
These words were spoken by
Mrs. M. Bradburn as she was in
charge off the topic at the January
meeting of St. Paul's Anglican
Church Women, held last week at
the rectory. Mrs. Bradburn spoke
about the visit to Christ by the
three wise men, known as
Epiphany in the church today.
She said it is a widely -known and
well -loved story, especially by
children.
Mrs. Bradburn spoke of the
wise men who brought gifts suit-
able for the Persou,,they expected
to find—King, Priest and Phy-
sician. In Him they realized ful-
fillment of their loftiest dreams.
She continued by saying people
of all ages come to Christ today,
seeing in Him the answer to their
different needs. The aged come
with quiet serenity and trust,
knowing "whom they have Be-
lieved". Young men, who carry
the burdens of work and re-
sponsibilities for the future, find
strength in the verse, "Come unto
Me, all ye who labor and are
heavy laden". Youth, -eager and
expectant, wishing to change
ways of life and crowd more
things into a day, are reminded of
their place by the fact that Jesus
drew a little child unto Him.
Seventeen attended the meet-
ing, with president, Mrs. Edith
Powell, leading in prayer. Mrs.
Alvin Higgins read the story of
the wise men's visit from the
second chapter of St. Matthew's
Gospel. Roll . call was answered
with a new year quotation and
thank -you letters were read.
Several cards were signed to
send to members who are ill.

program for the Least Coin. 'the

diction and tea and cookies were,
served by the hostess assisted by
Mrs. J. King, Mrs. V. Coates and
Miss M. E. Johnson.
