Schuett & Sons MILDMAY The.Young Women’s Mission Circle of the Baptist Church held a Thank- Offering meeting on Thursday evening in the Church Auditorium. The meeting opened with the sing­ ing of “Tell me the old, old story,” and prayer by Miss Laura Collar. The President, Miss Shirley MacLean, in a few well chosen words, welcomed all present, particularly a group from Lis­ towel, The members of the Mission Band were present and assisted in the pro­ gram. Florence Hudson, accompanied by her sister, Grace, sang “When He Cometh,” and Helen Louise Pocock gave a recitation entitled “Gifts For The Master.” Ten members of the Mission Band presented an exercise called “What Happened To A Mission Band” accompanied at the piano by Milton Loney. Misses Marjorie Falconer and Laura Collar favoured yith a duet “Sweet Is The Story of Jesus.” After r ".the. singirig of the hymn “Blessed Assurance,” there was a sea­ son of prayer- in which Mrs. Loney, Ida Kelly, Mrs. Ball and S.hirfey Mac- Lean took part. A recitation entitled “The Old Violin” was given by iMiss Louise Kelly. Mr. and Mrs. Maitland Ball rendered a duet- “Somebody Else Needs Him Too.” Scripture readings from Matthew 5 and Romans 12 were taken by Miss.es Marie Kelly and Viv­ ian MacLean. All present were very happy to wel­ come back to their midst the guest speaker of the evening, Mrs. (Rev.) E. C. Smith, of' Listowel. The theme of Mrs. Smith’s message was “Zeal and Consecration,” the text of her message being II Chronicles 7: 14 “If my people, which are called by my name,. shall, humble' themselves, and pray, and seek toy face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” In our land there are many Communists, Nazis, Fascists, etc., and it is. their boast that .they have their agents in most of our universities and secondary schools. They claim their greatest ally is the professing Christian .Church and such individuals who do not accepbthe ver­ acity of the Scriptures.. These pepple with their teaching would destroy what we hold most dear, our religious liberty,'social life and home life, com­ mercializing motherhood and making all- these subject to the State.,Jooihe would say We rim st be tolerant but tol­ erance unless rightly directed leads to harm. Sonic of the methods^Used-lo raise money ’ for,, war purposes, defeat the cause for which Christians ’strive and therefore .prevent Consecrated Christiansfrom entering into them. What the-world needs is the Gospel of'Jesus.. ’Christians should.-sacrifice, even their dearest pleasure toy spend more time with God in prayer that they might have the power to, sprea'd the Gospel. Matty gave their lives that we might -have the light of the Gospel. Shall we be the ones to let the light go out? Mr. Frank Collar favoured with a solo “It's Real.” . < " The meeting-was brought to a close with the siriging of *T Am Thine O Lord” and “prayer by Mrs. E. M, Lon­ ey.
