The thence for the the worship servcie was "The God of Alt the Peoples of the Earth," The service began by singing All People that on Earth do Dwell, and reading responsively the 96th psalm. We were led in prayer by Mrs. T. N. Forsyth. The leader, Mrs. Chandler, read Bible passages from the writ- ings of Isaiah of Babylon, in which the great prophet of the exile brought a message of deliverance. The roll calf was responded to by names of newfy appointed mission- aries and their places of appoint- ment. After a discussion on the ad- visability of organizing for Red Cross work, it was decided that we co-operate with the Kippen Women's Institute where the work has already been started. The subject for study was India's rural millions, and was in charge of Mrs. Chandler. Nine - tenths of India's millions live in her 700,900 villages. First there is de- scribed, a typical Indian village un- touched by modern influences, next we see influences at work changing the life of India's villages. Some Is the influence of government agencies but most of all the work of the Chris- tian Church. A brighter side of the picture is brought to ns. in the story of a South India Christian village, ! where the church has been at work for many years, and from which have come natives now holding positions of influence among those of higher birth and better economic opportun- ity than themselves. Some of our finest Christian pastors, possessed of both mental ability and spiritual pow- er, have risen from this lowly origin. Vast reservoirs of potential power for the renewal of India's lite can be released from these underprivileged, masses. Kippen East. W.I. are sponsors for the euchre and dance being held in Hensen hall on Friday evening, Oct. lath. The proceeds will be used for red cross work.
