Seott who as president •occupied the chair. After wee• earning the members and visitors 91rs. Scott opened the meeting by reading a poem entitled "Agri- culture." The hymn "We Plow the Fields and Scatter" was sung followed by the business period. Roll call, Place of ,Birth, was an- swered by eighteen members aid two visitors. Minutes of previous meeting were read by the acting secretary, Mrs, Willis Dundas, Encouraging reports were given by the treasurer and visiting 'con1- inittee. It ' was again announced that the United Church Women's Thankoffering meeting would be held on Tuesday evening, April 24, at 8 o'clock in the church. Dr. Walter field in Sa11mission at present is home in Canada on furlough, will be our guest speak- er. A beautiful Easter worship service was conducted by Mrs. John Carter, who read first' Cor- inthians, chapter fifteen, verses one to eleven, which was a very appropriate passage for the East- er season. The third chapter, en- titled "Enlarging the Community of the Rural Church" from the study book "Signals of the Six- ties" was ably and most interest- ingly presented by Mrs. Sam Scott. According to this book a serious decrease in farm popula- tion has been brought about to a large degree by mechanized farm• ing. This has seriously affected the rural church from the stand- point of attendance and finances, Young people who are being trans- ported 'to secondary schools and, eventually leave the farm entirely, use their leadership and concepts elsewhere. In addition an acute shortage of ministers constitutes a serious situation for the small rural church, many of which as a result are compelled to close. Sev- eral methods in dealing with these Problems were suggested by the speaker, such as first, the Consoli- dated Rural Church, ,which would i BRUCEFIELD necessitate .people travelling far- ther to go to church with fewer Unit No. 4, the Willing Work - but larger charges. Second, group ers, nlet at the home of their Ministry, where instead of . one leader, Mrs, L. Arlano, on Wed- minister being responsible for a nesday evening last. Mrs. D, Bro• small field there would be two die explained about the UOW and or even three ministers, a lay worker, and perhaps a woman deaconess in charge of a larger field. A lively discussion follow - owed with questions and answers. The meeting closed with singing the hymn "0 Love that will not let me go," by George Matheson, and repeating the Mizpah bene- diction in unison. A delicious luncheon was then served by Mrs. H. Hugill and Mrs. L. Carter. A vote of thanks to the hostess and all taking part in the program was expressed by Mrs. P. Moffat. 23,995.59 17,379,38 2,686.73 74.89 984.77 64,750.47 11,122.41 34,842,77 4,550.21 39,392.98 Gross Total Expenditure Surplus for the year 21.62 919.97 113.00 2,849.00 174.40 6,491.90 859.50 23,715;40 1,054.59 209,611.23 17,355.91 $226,967.14 GIRL GUIDE NOTES Ten girls wore enrolled as members of the let Company, Seaforth Girl Guides, by Captain Mrs. Norman Ranson at her last meeting on Thursday night, as- sisted by her Lieutenants, Mrs. John Onbelet, Mrs, Geo.
