The president, Mrs. Ralph - Nixon, conducted the meeting and was assisted by Mrs. Douglas Lapp, Mrs. Le Palmer, 'Mrs. Hazel Hardie and Mrs. Robert Arbuckle. The Bible reading was taken from Psalm 8, followed by a meditation based 'on the passage. Many centuries ago, the Psal- mist pondered the wonders �f God's creations and. asked, "What is man that Thou are mindful of him and the Son of man that Thou visitest him?" But God is mindful of man, however unworthy man may be. And God did visit man. In the Person of the little Child, God became incar- nate. The meditation then dealt with another portion •of the psalm: "What doth the Lord require of thee to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with they God?" The speakers said, "It is not easy in these days of tension • to do justly, to be merciful, to love, to do good to those who hate us or to pray for those who mis- treat us. But let us remember Christ has come; He is in His world ! " In closing, the speakers urged, "Let us resolve, in this year of opportunity, to learn of Him through study of His Word; pray for His help to follow in His way and share the message of His love with others in our own com- munity, others in our land , and throughout the world." Mrs. Nixon and Mrs. Lapp- led in prayer. The :,study book, "Unknown Country", was then introduced, with the explanation that "mission is undergoing a great change and the future of it to most is an `unknown country'." By means of a panel presenta- tion, many thoughts were given regarding the purpose of mission to different individuals. Develop- ment in mission ,was also dis- cussed and the need for home mission work in Canada was pre- sented. A challenge was given when one member of the panel stated, "It all depends on whether you regard the church as a religious society, designed to meet the spiritual needs of the members, or whether you see yourselves as people with a mission, with some- thing to do for other people." After listening to the panel dis- 'cuss ,mission in every aspect, the auxiliary divided into groups -for discussion and deliberated over some pertinent questions: Why should the local church support work in other parts of the world when so much is needed at hotne? Cannot churches in other countries support their own work? ; How can we talk about missions and missionaries in countries where they will not let missionaries enter?; What has development to do with mission?; ' Are schools and medical missions just a come-on? ; Is violence nec- essary for change? ; :How should with people of oth we dialogue th � taiths? • During the business portion of the meeting, it was announced that the display of centennial, banners will be held in .St. An- drew's Church the . week of February 24 to March 3.
