THE W. M. S. OF
THE UNITED CHURCH.
A very enjoyable; and profitable
meeting was Field on August' 3rd,
when the members of the Progress-
ive Mission" Circle of the' United
Church, Gorrie, entertained the W.
M, S. at Miss Janet Gamble's home,
The President, Mas. R, A, Ashton,
was in the chair. The meeting op-
ened by singing "The. Light of the
World is Jesus." Mrs. Cooke then
led in prayer. The minutes and roll
call of the W. M. S. was then an-
swered with a verse containing the
word "Patience," and was answered
by 23 members. There were 'eleven
Circle members and several visitors
also present.
Mrs. T, O. Johnston gave :a paper
on "Tithing" telling how God repays
tithers, , Mrs. Walter Simson read
the: Scripture lesson found in Isaiah
45, 18-25. Miss Evelyn Dane favor
'ed the societies with +a solo entitled
"He lifted me." Miss Bessie Wylie
read the Worship Period as the sub-
ject was Japan. She told how the
prophet in speaking to the Hebrew
people in captivity told them there
was no other God but Jehovah in
whom they.had been taught to trust.
Japan, today, is an example of the
case in point. Something we can
copy from the now Christian relig-
ion of Japan, reverence is always
present if worshipping false gods.
Mrs. Pearl Kahle gave a paper.
telling of Japan's Army, Navy, In-
dustries and Religion. Japan was
afraid of the Christian religion, but
she desires now to be understood,
but only through Jesus Christ can
the nations understand one another.
Mrs: Whitefield told then, "How to
Make a Missionary Meetng a' Suc-
cess." The Devotional Period was
the most important. Prayer and fel-
lowship with God is the chief need
of our spiritual life. Tarry with Him
until. He touches you, said the speak-
er. A" responsive patriotic reading
was then heard which was followed
by Mrs. T. O. Johnston leading .in
prayer for Our. Nation.

ens sang very feelingly a duet en-
titled "The Touch of His Hand in
Mine."

prayer by the President.
