W. M. S. START
NEW STUDY BOOK
"Builders of the Indian Church Being
Studied. ,
The November meeting of the W.
M. S. of the United Church; Gorrie,
was held at Mrs. Robert Ashton's
home on. Thursday afternoon, Mrs. R.
H. Stephens presiding. The topic was
Peace. Meeting opened by singing
"O God of Love, 0 King of Peace",
prayer by Mrs. Butt. Mrs. R. Ash-
ton gave a reading, telling our fore-
fathers launched put to find a place
of peace, a home of liberty. We
too should launch forth for Justice,
Truth and Right. Mrs. C. C. Ramage
gave a paper entitled "The League
of Nations as the World's Peace". Is
the League of Nations worth while?
Yes, telling how. it was, in spite of
criticism. ,She told how the citizens
of Canada and. the United States were
building a garden instead of a monu-
ment to show to the world how two
nations could live side by side peac-
ably.
Hymn "I hear Thy welcome voice"
was then sung, followed by several
sentence prayers. Mrs. James Anger
gave a paper on Peace, telling of the
many times Christ spoke of Peace.
She spoke of the Peacemakers of this
world and the great work they have
to do. Make peace, Man with Man
and God with Man.
Mrs. R. G. Dane gave a paper en-
titled "God. Understands". What a
comfort that God is always with us.
In 'joy or in sorrow and sympathizes
with us. Mr. Butt then introduced
the first chapter of the study took,
"Builders of the Indian. Church," by
Stephen Neill. Many Christians make
the: mistake' of thinking revelation
ends with the Book of Revelations.
Rightly read, the story of .the church
is full of encouragement in its . wit-
ness to the constant working of the
Power of God ainong the sons of
men. India is only a corner. The
surface of India, one million and a
half square miles, population 350,000,-
000' people. They speak
i79languages,
more than 500 dialects, 100,000 con-
verts are added every year; an aver-
age of one being baptized every five
minutes. Progress has only been
made by centuries of prayer, effort
and sacrifice. Four periods, until the
end of the fifteenth century the
church was in obscurity. The next
two, the Portugese were masters. In
the 18th century, the non -Roman
Church entered the field. The 19th
century was the age of missionary
Work in India. The Missionary who
goes to -day goes not as one sent by
his church at home, but as one call-
ed to its aid by the Church of Christ
in India, concluded the speaker.
The President, Mrs. Ramage, then
took the chair for business. Minutes
of the last meeting were read and
adopted. A note of sympathy is to be
sent to a bereaved member. A resolu-
tion of Appreciation is to be sent to
Mr. L. F. Ashton for training the
male choir for the Thank -Offering
meeting. After roll call, the meeting
closed with prayer by the president.
