At tile close• of the worship service, Mrs. Alex Taylor gave a few timely thoughts on China, the country our study book is based on. Mrs. Taylor quoted the familiar Kipling saying, "East is East and West is West, and never twain shall meet" and then pro- ceeded by using the story, "Mr. and Mrs. ,Sen," to illustrate that it is an intangible beerier of race that is meant by the quotation not our ways of life and thought, She shows how China formed a strong link in the democratic alliance and 'how the in- fluence of Christian missionaries help- ed the Chinese leaders take their pres- ent stand, A prayer for missions ended the study period. Miss Dorothy Edwards read the first fourteen verses of St. John's gospel; after which the guest speaker, Mrs. Ball gave her address. The theme for the year is "The faith by which we live," and Mrs. Ball gave a, most inspiring explanation of the Apostle's Creed, which is our declar- ation of that Faith. Clause by clause in language simple but eloquent, the Creed was made an open book all could understand. She showed how our Christian faith is different from all others .Those who were privileged to hear this address will certainly re- member it as a highlight of the year's programme. Mrs. Whitfield was in the chair and in well chosen words expressed our appreciation to Mrs. Ball also she ex- tended a warm welcome to guests, and invited them to become new members.
