DAVE INTERESTING
ADDRESS AT 'CLUJ.
Mrs. McKay, Field Secretary, Was
Guest Speaker
A meeting of special interest of the
W.C.T.U. was held in the S. S. room
of the United Church, with Mrs. Frank
Collar presiding.
The meeting opened with the sing-
ing of hymn "How sweet the Name of
Jesus", and Miss Bolt led in prayer.
The highlight of the meeting was the
message brought by Mrs. McKay,
Field Secretary, Her message was
based on Zachariah 4, speaking of the
indifference of people today toward
God's work. "We feel so much like
Elijah, we as a ',Christian group
should stand firm and strong for God,"
It is easy to give of our money and to
pray, but it seems so hard for some of
us to give of our time to the service of
God. Speaking of Francis Willard, the
great. woman who founded the Temp-
erance Organization, Mrs. McKay said
said that in her work she 'found the
rural districts far more interested than
the towns and cities. She spoke of the
Liquor Traffis always working in
every way to advertise alcoholic bev-
erages. "What are we doing among
our young people". Every woman
that belongs to the W.M.S. or any
such society should belong to the W.
C.T.U. Mrs. McKay closed her part of
the meeting with prayer.
Mrs. Collar thanked Mrs. McKay on
behalf of the members for her informa-
tive and inspiring message. All join-
ed in singing "I hear of showers of

the minutes and roll call answered in
the ,usual way,

ture, St, John 15: 1-5 and brought a

bearing". This was an interesting mes-
sage and much appreciated. Mrs. Col-
lar thanked Mrs, Touzeau on behalf of
the members.
Mrs. Horace Aitchison favoured
with a solo, entitled, "It is I, be not
afraid" and this was much 'enjoyed by
all.
Business .was then discussed after
which hymn "0 Jesus I Have Prom-
ised" was sung and Mrs. Falconer
closed with prayer.
