EVENING AUXILIARY I
HELD FINE MEETING
Nominating Committee Chosen
A very interesting and pleasant
time was .held at the home of Mrs.
Ken Hastie, 9th Con., when the mem
bers of Gorrie Evening Auxiliary met
■for their November meeting. Twelve
members and several visitors were
present. The committee in charge
-were Mrs. E. J, Farrish and Mrs. G.
Mundell. The theme of the meeting
was "Seeking True Success in Life."
The meeting opened with Mrs. Far
rish in the chair, reading. “Do You
"Wish the World Made Happy?", fol
lowed by the hymn "All people that
on earth do dwell.” Psalm 696 was
read in unison. Mrs. E. AV. Whitfield
led in prayer.
Mrs. Shera read a lovely poem "Be-
jgin Today" in keeping with the
theme. Scripture reading, Matt, 25:
14-29, was given by Mrs. A. L. Ste
phens followed by the hymn “Take
up thy cross."
Mrs. G. Mundell gave* a very fine
paper on "What Is True Success?”
In part, the speaker said “Few words
ure more often on lips of modern man
than the word, success. We all seek
-it, yet many of us measure it in terms
of material success, but few men are
remembered for their wealth acumcu-
lated but for their service to mankind,
gifts to science, literature, etc. Jesus
said, Man shall not live by bread
alone, emphasizing the fact that these
things are necessary but that true suc
cess is not measured by money but
that cultivation of the inner spirit.
Again, to quote the Bible, Paul, who
-turned aside from great wealth to fol
low Jesus, came to say, For Christ’s
sake I, have learned to count my for
mer, gains a loss. Mrs. Mundell clos
ed with the thought that each and ev
ery one could gain that true success
if we live our lives doing our task
nearest day by day, laughing often
■and loving much, by enjoying the
-trust of pure men and women, in short
—trying to live that our lives may be
an inspiration to others and leaving
■this world a better place than we find
It.
Hymn "Breathe on me, breath of
<God” was sung, after which Mrs.
"Michael led in prayer.
The president, Mrs. V. Shera, took
,-fhe chair. The Roll Call was answer
ed by thoughts following the theme of
«-the meeting. The nominating commit-
■tee composed of Mrs. Newton, Mrs.
Farrish and Mrs. Whitfield, were ap
pointed to prepare the slate of offic
ers for the coming year. At the close
of the .meeting the hostess served a
•dainty lunch and all spent a
social hour.
