Ten members attended, each recalling a memory of Mrs. i Procter during her active years with the group. President Mrs. Sarah Anderson opened the meeting with a Thanks- giving poem. Mrs. Janisa Coultes reported on the Upper Room deliv- eries to various rest homes. The worship service was con- ducted by Mrs. Olive Bolt, with the theme, "The Woman God Calls Great". A poem, ..The Good Neigh- bor", was read, followed by scrip- ture reading and prayer. Two hymns were sung, with Mrs. Dorothy Coultes piano accompa- nist. Mrs. Janisa Coultes continued with the Bible study, "The Word Is a Pledge". She asked the questions: "What is an oath? Is there more than one type of oath?" The group concluded that there are two kinds of oath —.frivolous swearing and a solemn declaration.

Mrs. Dorothy Coultes led the study on "Canada's Mosaic and the Church". Christian missionaries sought to evangelize the native Indians and in 1971, the Franco- phone Protestant United Church sought to preserve the right to make its own decisions and to min- ister to Francophones within the United Church. Today ethnic ministries within the church are divided into four associations, each with a structure resembling a presbytery. The for- mation of the All -Native Confer- ence marks the beginning of a new chapter in the church's history. Mrs. Anderson concluded the meeting by reading the UCW Bene- diction. Taylors mark 50 years of marriage DE.LGRAVE—fifty years ago was relived as family, relatives, neigh- bors and friends met at the WI Hall on Oct. 15 to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary of Margaret and Lawrence Taylor.

Plaques conveying congratulato- ry messages were received from the Prime Minister, Murray Cardiff, the Premier of Ontario and the Gover- nor General of Canada.

Tuck- er, at the morning service at Knox United Church on Sunday, Oct. 15, explained the individual parts of a service of worship. "We stand to sing hymns of praise to God and voice our thanks to Him," he said. "Prayer is sharing our lives with our Master and, in scripture, God, in Jesus, shares His life with us." His scripture lesson was I Coriritlu `: ans, chapter 13. w' The sanctuary was beafitrfied with floral arrangements for this special Children's Sunday. Mrs. George Procter, organist, accompa- nied the junior choir as the children sang "Father, We Adore You". The children's sermon was entitled "The Blind Men and the Elephant", in which the speaker talked about two types of elephants and how they are distinguished by the size of their ears. He then told how six bin men visited a zoo and formed different opinions about the ele- phant, one thinking it like a wall; another calling its ear a fan; tusk resembling a spear; the trunk a snake; the leg a tree trunk; the tail like a rope. Each blind individual was correct in his perception but had not seen the overall truth. "Before a true decision can be determined, we must know the ISEOUIVT S AO whole truth by fitting all pieces in their rightful perspective," Mr. Tucker said. Offertory stewards were Ross Higgins and Donald G. Procter. Hymns relating to the occasion were sung, with organ accompani- ment. Mr. Tucker pronounced the benediction, concluding an enlight- ening service.
