belongings ipaut tor and conditions
were "static." It was the type of
Church, he said, which hadgreat
potentialities but never did any-
thing. "This type of church," he
stated, often sinks back into its
Street United Church, at the 127th
anniversary services.
Speaking Sunday evening.on the
'Wed, His , Thrilling Program,"
.ev: Mr. Diekinson suggested ,that
every Member of the congregation
sihould not fail to read The Acts
of the Apostles—"A really 'thrill -

him in Goderich. Refreshments
were served from a tea table at
which Mrs. A. E. Eustace and Mrs.

hymns was led by George Parsons
with Ed. Stiles at the piano. The
guest soloist; Melvin Thompson, of
Detroit, sang bwo solos, which like
the ones sang at both morning
and evening services, were moVin8-

Rev. Mr. Dickinson. Rev. Mr.
Eustace gave a brief on the canvass
of the congregation to date and
thanked the canvassers for the
work they haye done.
After stating he felt honoredto
receive a call back to North Street
for an anniversary service, Rev.
Mr. Dickinson spoke on "The His-
tory of The Chur-dh." He said
there were three kinds of churches,
the infant Church, The Adolescent
Church and the Adult Church and,
of curse, the Great Church Be-
yond. The Infant Church, he'said,
was made up a people who did
not grow up and looked' to others

"There area many smug, self -com-

Their attitude is that 'We 'don't

people are actually poverty-strick-

Independence and a home of her

Most prized goals in life. They
have not been easy to attain.
,She was born in England, and
the early chapters of her life read
like a sad book. When her father
and two brothers died, her mother
decided bo bring her sole remain-
ing child to Canada to start life
anew.
Her 'goal was never reached.
The mother died on shipboard and
was buried at sea. 'Phe child,

The succeeding years were some-
times happy, but more often not,
as the growing child shifted from
one foster home to another.

But in 1901, Nellie—as she was
usually lcnown — married Abner
Morris, and at last had a home of
her awn. The, couple farmed in
Colborne Township, • and •raised
seven children,
Then illness struck Abner Morris
and the couple were forced to
leave the farm. Mrs. Morris was
then 70 years old but she was
determined that the home which
she had won would net be for-
feited. Rag mats was her answer,
She had never made a rag mat
in her life, but that was a minor
detail to this cheerful, indomitable
woman. She 'taught horself the
art, and despite falls in. recent
years which twice resulted in
broken hands, she has been going
strong for 13 years—and still has
a home of her own.
Mrs. Morris' mat -making methods
are the simplest. Rags are brought
• to her by customers—parts of old
dresses, lining from coats, worn
coverlets. She cuts, braids and
sews them by hand, making up her
design as she goes along. $he is
proud of her adept blendingof
