It is the Fellow- ship of the Least Coin and its ori- gin and functiod were explained by Mrs. Joe Kerr at the May meeting of the Anglican "lurch Women.

The same year, the Presbyterian Church, concerned because of the bitterness that still existed among the countries on either side in World War 11, organized an International Team of Reconciliation. Shanti was chosen, along with a Japanese and four Americans. Only the Americanz were allowed to go to Kurea so Sh,i 11 ' iier com ti.. -4)11 H t• Nhillipines.

The idea came to her of starting a fellowship of prayer whereby all the women of the world pray for one another. The American women dis- agreed, thinking their church would not want to be bothered saving only 12 pennies a year. Shanti explained that the piss, the least coin of their country, is worth only a fraction of a penny but even the poorest woman could afford to give it to someone less fortunate than herself. Shanti suggested the women try to see if the least coin could draw -the women of the world to- gether. Little did they dream that within ten years, this money would amount to more than half a million dollars. At the present time, offerings are used to promote understand- ing and deepen world-wide Chris- tian fellowship by enabling people to get help for today's problems; to allocate money for certain church projects requiring help for today's problems; t demonstrate God's love and con- cern for people in times o distress and calamity. In 1969, the Women's Inter- church Council of Canada agreed to sponsor the Fellowship so Canadians could become as- sociated with others around the world participating in the Fellowship. A Canadian project is the training of native Cana- dians in Eastern and Northern Manitoba and Northern Ontario. A good attendance was re- corded for the meeting which was held at .the home of Mrs. W. Brydges. President, Mrs. E. Powell opened the meeting with prayer -and 'Mrs. Wade read scripture from St. Luke's Gospel. Roll call was an exchange of flower slips and plants.

He stressed the childlike qualities that each Christian should possess — for- giveness, lack of prejudice, en- thusiasm for life, hope for tomorrow. Most important, he said, is the quality of complete dependency which a child pos- sesses, "The Christian must recognize his utter dependency upon God," he remarked.
