Missionary Was Speaker I The main speaker for the day -was Miss Kate Rutherford, a missionary ■ on furlough from Angola, Africa. She described Angola as a beautiful coun­ try with beautiful people. Africa has long been known as the ‘dark’ contin­ ent. This is because the people are so filled with superstition and their spirits are weighed down by fears ’ because witchcraft is still in common ■ practice. When the missionaries went to Africa 75 years ago they found conditions rather deplorable but these same conditions are improving as time goes on. The people are beginning to realize the necessity for cleanliness. They have discovered that disease and germs thrive in filth. Canada is a land of comfort compared to An­ gola because there they have little equipment to work with. However they are using more advanced meth­ ods of agriculture and have a better understanding of health problems. They are continually relating the Love of God to these. After 75 years there is still a great need for missionaries, doctors, nurses and agricultural people. The doors are still open in Angola. Young people who are willing to dedicate themselves to the work of the Master are urgent- Check These The J. _ _ __„ of the„ WM.S. of Bluevale United Church was held in the schoolroom of the church on Wednesday after­ noon. The president, Mrs. John Wick­ stead, conducted the meeting. Mrs. Milton Fraser read the Scripture, the Easter Message. Mrs. Alex McCrackin and Mrs. W. J. Johnston were appointed delegates to the Presbyterial at Wingham. Mrs. Gilbert Howes, of Wroxeter, was the guest speaker. Her subject was “Paul”, whose life was changed from that of a bitter prosecutor to become the great missionary of the early church. Because he had a heavenly vision, he suffered many things gladly, to show his . faith in Christ. His words come down to us with the same force that appealed to those of his time. Appreciation of Mrs. Howes’ address was expressed by Mrs. M. .Fraser and Mrs. M. L. Aitken. Pupils of Bluevale school, directed by their teacher, Miss Isabel Spier, sang the “Twenty-Third Psalm” and an Easter song which were much ap­ preciated. A social time was enjoyed over the tea cups. Hold Union Services A union service was held in the United Church on Good Friday morn­ ing when the Presbyterian and United Church icongregatiohs worshipped to­ gether. Rev. R. A. Brook conducted the service and Rev. Maurice McNabb preached on “The Three Crosses”, describing the redeeming sacrifice of Christ, the unrepentant thief, and the one whose guilt was forgiven.

When Miss Rutherford went to Angola 25 years ago there was no school at all but now there is a beautiful 10 room school, well equip­ ped and staffed. Medical work has also developed. There are now 2 doc­ tors and 2 nurses at Dondi, each doing his own work. There are leper camps for those infected with leprosy and T.B. patients now living in grass huts are looking forward to a new building. Although a degree of pros­ perity has developed, some are still living at the lowest level. African pastors can now be ordained and are supported by their own church, their duty to fight superstition spirits.
