Jesus gave thanks for the simplicity of the gospel. He thanked God that He had re- vealed the Truth to the humble and simple of heart. The humble fishermen were teachable, whereas the learned Scribes took the know-it-all attitude and did not perceive the Truth. Jesus gave thanks for an- swered prayer. He said, "I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me. I know that Thou hearest Me always:" Jesus shows us by His absolute assurance, that we are not speaking into a vacuum, but we are speaking to a hearing and answering Father. Jesus, gave thanks for His sacrifice on the cross. Reading from 1 Corinthians, chapter 11, verses 23-25 — "Jesus when He had given "thanks, took the cup saying, 'this cup is the new testa- ment in my blood'. In some religious observances, the sacra- ment of the Lord's Supper is called the Eucharist, which means "giving thanks". This "Cup" which contained in it all the agonies of the world, 'Jesus accepted, and His cross with thankfulness. How do we accept our crosses? Do they make us embittered with life? Do we become enriched spiritually because of them? Do we feel as we try to follow this divine pat- tern that — "Were the whole realm of nature mine. That were a present far too small. Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all." A social hour was enjoyed at the close of the service.

Ball is Thankoffering speaker GORRIE — The annual Thank- offering service was held in United Church here March 26, when ladies from McIntosh, Molesworth, Fordwich, Wroxeter and Gorrie Anglican and Presby- terian churches were guests of the Gorrie United Church Women. Mrs. Alex Taylor and Mrs. John Strong conducted the open= ing devotions. Mrs. Taylor based her remarks on the prophet Amos, and drew a parallel of the moral conditions of the northern kingdom of Israel at the time of Amos, with moral conditions existing in our present day civilization. The fact holds true that "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any man." "What does the Lord require of thee, but to seek justice, love, mercy and to walk humbly with your God?" A trio comprised of Mrs. Jack Ferguson, Mrs. Robert Strong and Mrs. Raymond Gowdy, accompanied on the organ by Mrs. Mabel Freeman: con- tributed two selections, "Back of the Clouds", and "I Will Sing of My Redeemer", which were much appreciated. The president, Mrs. Gerald Galbraith, expressed , her pleasure in welcoming the ladies from sister churches, united it - one common Christian purpose of thankfulness. Mrs. Sheldon Mann and Mrs. DeWitt Adams were hostesses for theevening and received the offering. Mrs. Lorne Mann intro- duced the speaker, the minister of Gorrie and Wroxeter United Churches, Rev. Wesley Ball. Rev. Ball spoke on the theme of "Giving Thanks". It is ap- propriate to give thanks at all times but most especially during Holy Week when hearts are filled with thankfulness for the miracle of Easter. Jesus is not only the object of our thankfulness, but He is also the pattern for thankful- ness. Four scenes where Jesus gave thanks in the gospel were described: Jesus gave thanks for food. The custom of thanking God for food is dying out in many homes. People are embarrassed to bow St.PauI's Church (ANGLICAN) WINGHAM .....- REV. T. K. HAWTHORN, Rector MRS. D.
