WROXETER Members of the Wroxeter W,M.S. were guests at the home -of Mrs. George Gibson, Wroxeter South, for their regular June meeting, which was well at- tended. The hostess -and Miss Elva Hup- fer were responsible for arranging and presenting the worship service, the theme of which was ,"Workers with God". With Mrs, Gibson pre- siding, the meeting opened with the call to worship, followed by the in- vocation, and the Lord's prayer in unison. Mrs. Gibson read a poem entitled "My Chum". The meditation was conducted jointly by Miss Hupfer and Mrs. -Gibson, and was based on Isaiah 6:8, "And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom. shall I send and who will go for us?" The last chapter of the study book, "This Turning World", by Betty 'Thompson entitled "Unity Begins at Home", was presented by Miss Hupfer. Dealing with the World Council of Churches, on which the chapter was based, the speaker began by explaining the meaning of the crest of this -or. ganization, used on the cover of the current church bulletin. She said the small ship reminds us that size alone does not make a church igreat The mast and• yardiam form a cross to remind us that it is Christ and His death for us, that we preach, rather than the wisdom of men. The waves of the sea sug- gest that storms may come and winds may blow, but we must not fear for we have a Captain who is Still in charge. The Greek word "Olkoumerte" in the crest means the universal nature of the Chris- tian Church, with room for all rac- es and nations, united not by ten- afternoon, The gue or color, but by a, common love for. JesuS Christ, She sum- med up the chapter by saying the whole -task of the church is to spread the Gospel to the whole world, Mrs, Gibson read the poem, "The Master's Visit", after which the hymn "Work for the Night Is Com- ing" was sung, and this portion of the meeting closed with prayer. Two short but :interesting skits were presented, with Mrs. Lloyd McGee as Mrs. Loyal, and Mrs. Gibson and Miss Hupfer as her vis- itors, in the one called "Visiting Mrs, Loyal", which stressed how important en-operation of members of W.M.S. and other societies can be, The second skit, entitled "Vis- iting Mrs. Critical", in which Miss I-Iupfer took the part of Mrs. Crit- ical and Mrs. Gibson •and Mrs. Mc- Gee were her visitors, portrayed how visiting members of the W.M.S. finally won over a very critical member, through friendli- ness and enthusiasm. The president, Mrs. James San- derson, presided for the business. She expressed thanks to the host- ess and committee, It was decided to order a copy of each of "Out- reach" and "Facts and -Figures". An acknowledgment of an ex- pression of sympathy was read by the secretary, and the C.G.I,T. lea- der, Mrs. McGee, expressed appre- ciation on behalf of herself and the C.G.I.T. members for the patron- age and assistance given by the W.M.S, at the recent tea sponsored by the CG,I.T.
