HAPPY GANG EUCHRE—Mrs. Robert Powell, right, formerly of Wingham and now of Kincardine, tested her card -playing expertise last Friday at the euchre sponsored by the Wingham Seniors Happy Gang. Mrs. Jean Crump of Wingham also attended the euchre. "The Crimson Bridge" is theme of March meeting "The Crimson Bridge" was the theme of the March meeting of the Goforth Evening Auxiliary of St. Andrew's. Mrs. Hugh Clugston challenged the group to discover its meaning as the meeting progressed. The group was taken back in time to the foot of the cross as Mrs! Murray Gaunt and Mrs. Jim English sang "The Crimson Bridge". Mrs. Gaunt spoke to the group of Jesus' victories over the cross, saying "the cross had never lost a victim except one ... and no one hadever gone willingly and with love except one". Mrs. Gaunt and Mrs. English then sang "Lead Me Back to Calvary". Mrs. Clugston reminded the group of the angels that sinned in heaven, then of Adam's (man's) sin, then Israel's sin. All of these God had relied upon and they all let Him down and He spared them not. Finally God sent His Son to take on all sin and sacrificed Him so Christians might be spared from that time on. Mrs. Gertie Tiffin told the group that without the cross there would be no remission of sin, no triumph in this life and no purpose for the next. The gates of heaven would be closed forever. There would be no `bridge' from earth to heaven without the cross. Mrs. Paul Mills talked of Jesus dying on that cross, betrayed by a kiss, whipped, mocked and deserted by His disciples. "Jesus became what we are so we might become what He is," she said. She then sang "That Day at Calvary". Mrs. Percy Clark described the scene around the cross — the darkness, the thunder, the lightning as Jesus died on the cross. Jesus could have saved Himself but then couldn't have saved anyone else. Miss M Wilson, Mrs. Clugston WI Mrs. Clark looked at theeross from the two extremes. If Jesus were a man the cross was murder, but if He were God it was an offering ... If Jesus were a man we need to stand and take our hats off to Him but if He were God we need to bow and give our lives to Him. Mrs. Tiffin referred to the sculpture of Christ by Thorwaldsen on display in Mrs. Clayton Ruppell hosts meeting of Anglican Guild GORRIE' — The March meeting of St. Stephen's Anglican Guild was held at the home of Mrs. Clayton Ruppell. President Mrs. Seniors' Day Centre News By Pam Williams Only in Canada would it storm on the first day of spring! I hope the snow won't discourage any area seniors from attending this week's activities at the centre. Last Wednesday's foot clinic was quite successful, so a big thank you goes to the health unit for providing such a service. Our St. Patrick's Day program last Thursday afternoon was a lot of fun. Winners of the Wintario tickets were Gertrude Allen of Wingham and one of our entertainers from Lucknow, Ira Dickie. Congratulations to both of you. We thank both the Lucknow and Wingham bands which performed last Thursday and to all the other entertainers that helped make the program a suc- cess. I'm sorry, but we can't reveal the secret of our "green punch", wait until next March 17. Tuesday, Kay Aitchison of Wingham showed her slides on a holiday she had in Northern Ontario and Western Canada. We'll tell more about the scenery next week. A quartet from the Blyth Christian Reform Church will perform next Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. Anyone from the community is welcome to hear this talented group. Our second annual flea market will be held 'April 30. There only is one table left to rent, so if you are interested call George Taylor at 357- 1456. Members of the community are welcome to bring any donations for the flea market to the Ar- mouries, or we can arrange to pick the items up if that is more convenient. Something we could use for our craft program is large juice cans (48 oz.) that still have both ends on. We are starting to make upholstered foot stools out of the cans. The community is welcome to view the film "Off Your Duff" which is about the importance of regular exercise. It is a 30-' minute movie and we'll be showing it Wednesday and Thursday of this week. Have a good week and remember in these tough economic times it doesn't cost anything to smile. Even at maximum mois- ture content, a tree will burn if flame is applied all around the base. Keep discarded gift wrappings away from the base of the tree, and make the Christmas tree area a no - smoking zone. Jasper Farrish opened the meeting with a prayer for Anglicans In Mission. Mrs. Harry Jennings read a story, "A Book for all Seasons". Nineteen members an- swered the roll call with a St. Patrick's verse.

Mrs. Georgina Jarvis presented several ideas for the June bus trip. Following prayer which closed the business portion of the meeting, Rev. Gray presented a talk on AIM Anglicans In Mission. Much financial assistance is needed to support and maintain the Christian Anglican communities and churches in the remote north of Canada, overseas and the local diocese, including Huron Church Camp. Everyone was asked to think sincerely about giving their financial commitment over a five-year period of time. A short question -and -answer period followed. Mrs. Bill Cane assisted Mrs. Ruppel in serving lunch. Copenhagen. Because of the way it is tipped on a down- ward angle, you can't see His face unless you kneel at His feet. Mrs. Gaunt and Mrs. English again sang "The Crimson Bridge" and the theme of the meeting was crystal clear. Christ's blood, shed on the cross, provides the bridge to God. Mrs: Clugston then reviewed the passage, Mark 15:33-39, looking at Mark's account of the final minutes on the cross. As a point of interest, Mrs. Clugston gave a recipe for playdough, suggesting it is a quickly -made item that provides a variety of ac- tivities. The meeting was then turned over to the president, Mrs. Arnold Taylor, who led the business portion. A change for next month's meeting, to the fourth Tuesday, April 26, was noted. The movie, "The Hiding Place", will be shown Sunday night, April 24, and will be open to all churches. A social hour followed the meeting, with lunch served by the committee.
