Wingham Advance-Times, 1980-10-29, Page 6kl dvance-Times, October a9. 1980 rib evening auxiliary s Thanksgiving theme Thanksgiving' was the e woven through the Cteotorth Evening Auxiliary meeting held Oct. 21 in St. • Andrew's church. The coM it(eee comprised Mrs. John Norman, Mrs. Clarence Wood, Mrs. Gerald Smith and 14xs. Hazel Hardie. Mrs. Ken McKague gave the call to worship. As men of old took the first fruits of the harvest to the temple and presented them to the almighty God in humble thanksgiving for his blessings, we too should enter into his gates with praise, she said. Mrs. McKague contrasted our lives of plenty with those of less fortunate peoples of –the world: the displaced people of the '50s, the Biafrans, the plight of the Boat People, the Haitians, the Cubans, all fleeing their homelands in search of freedom. Thanksgiving Day origin- ated with the Pilgrims, who left England .in 1620 to escape religious persecut ion. - Mrs. Smith told of the Pilgrims' first year in America and the first celebration of a harvest, which led to the proclamation of a first Thanksgiving for harvest; home. and victory over „hazards. The Bible study was. conducted by Mrs. John Norman, who told of another nation, the Israelites, who left a homeland for freedom and encountered many difficulties. During the journey to the promised land they complained against God and soon forgot what God had done for them, rescuing them from slavery in Egypt, delivering them miraculous- ly vitt the Red Sea and sup- plying them with food. As they • complained against Moses and God, so are we guilty of complaining . and fault-finding instead of being thankful for his good- ness to us. Complaining displeases the Lord and finding fault with God's arrangement of our affairs not only cheats us of God's best but is an act of open rebellion against God's will. The committee suggested some blessings for which we should be thankful: —for God and his son Jesus Christ, for providing for both our physical and eternal needs; — for Canada, which was founded on the principles of Christianity ; —for homes which have luxuries and conveniences never dreamed of by kings and queens 150 years ago; — for freedom of speech and freedom to think, as we please without fear of e puns] hent; —for freedom of religion, a heritage we must guard; —for freedom from want, since no one in Canada need be hungry or cold. It should be our mission as a nation to share this great material wealth with other nations less fortunate than we. Selections were sung to illustrate the various points in the program. Prayers were offered by Mrs. Clarence Wood, Mrs. Hazel Hardie and Mrs. Ken McKague. The business was cm - ducted by the president, Mrs. Murray Underwood, and secretary, Mrs. Hugh Clugston. A study of the meeting materials for 1981 will be held in Teeswater Nov. 3. Mrs. Kenneth McKague showed a display of floral arrangements and gave timely tips for making bouquets and centrepieces.
