Mrs. Murray Underwood convened the in- teresting meeting. Mrs. Percy Clark explained what it is to be `Truly Alive". To be truly alive one must be men- tally, physically and spiritually alert. Not all people are blessed with complete . physical health. Indeed many are physically dis- abled, but the attempt. made by some of these handicapped people, against tremendous odds, to be "truly alive" is an inspira- tion to all. A prime example of such a person is Sondra Diamond, a vic- tim of cerebral palsy. Sondra was featured on a Roy Bonisteel "Man Alive" television produc- tion entitled "I Am Not What You See': In this film Sondra ex- pressed her thoughts very cap- ably on how she feels toward her disability, how she copes with it and how she wants others to accept her as a whole person. Due to the great response from the viewing audience a follow-up film was made to delve deeper into how Sondra, a practising psychologist, deals with her 'problem. Through this film an at- tempt was made to show others how to deal with their physical handicaps. Mrs. Ralph Nixon introduced this interesting and educational film. The theme of the Bible study, conducted by Mrs. Underwood, was "Spiritually Alive". It was based on I Corinthians 12 and dealt with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is this Holy Spirit living in us that makes God's people truly alive. "If each one of us would use the various abilities the Holy Spirit has given us, this church would be truly alive," Mrs. Underwood said. "Our spirit -filled lives would be full of love and compassion for others as love is one of the results of a spirit -filled life." She closed with this thought: "You can give with- out loving but you cannot love without giving". Mrs. Jack Alexander led in prayer and all joined in singing "We are One in the Spirit". The offering was received and dedi- cated by Mrs. Clark. A teenage quartet composed of Cathy Cruickshank, Linda Tay- lor, Ian Mann and John Campbell delighted the group with two selections: "Color My World" and "The Old Rugged Cross Made the Difference". Ann Campbell accompanied them on. the piano. The business meeting was con- ducted by Mrs. Clarence Wood. Mrs, Robert Arbuckle read the secretary's report. The Goforth pot luck supper will be held in September.
