First, Herson Erwin celebrated his 79th birth- day on January 19; then great- granddaughter Catharine Adelle was born in Vancouver on Janu- 24; and Mrs. Herson Irwin lebr ted her 79th birthday on Vale's Day. Of the three events, perhaps Catharine Adel- le's birth was the icing on the cake, for she becomes the fourth generation of women in the family. It reads like a passage from the Bible: Catharine Adelle is .,the Lenten theme for meeting BRUSSELS — "Lent is a time of self-denial and self-examina- tion; a time to ask ourselves the question 'What do we treasure in life and where is that treasure?' " These words were spoken by Miss Skelton as she, spoke about_ Lent at the meeting of the after- noon unit of the United Church Women held February 11 at the home of Mrs. W.• Sholdice. Miss Skelton convened the devotions with thoughts on Lent and an Easter hymn was sung. Mrs. Thomas read scripture from the 26th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. Members listening to the devotional period of the meeting, learned "that, rather than a time to give up things, the Lenten season is a time to take up some worthwhile things, such as the daily reading of the scriptures and fifteen minutes for medita- tion and prayer. Miss Lucas stated, "Important as it is to clean our homes, is it not equally important that we clean our thoughts, minds and hearts?" There were 12 members Q-; present with 14 visitations 1 recorded. Mrs. Smith conducted an interesting Bible quiz and a Valentine story was read by Mrs. Steffler. The Presbyterial will be held in Listowel Trinity Church on, February 26.
