Some little child will have the pleasure of a beautiful quilt. The summer picnic was thorough- ly enjoyed by members, families and friends last year so all were in favour of one this summer. Kay Lapp invited the club to their home for the April meeting. For a rest period in the afternoon the hostess treated the ladies to deli- cious muffins, biscuits with cheese and jams and beverages. The quilt was not finished that afternoon so ladies have been returning to complete it. Coultes; second high, Jim Coultes; lone hands, Mabel Wheeler; low man, Ken Spears.

Bain speaker at Knox Guest minister at Knox United Church for March 18 was Richard B aan. The children came to the front and Mr. Baan spoke to them about caring for others. He told of a disabled child who fell in an Olympic race and hurt his knee. The other children stopped and took care of him. Scripture was from Isaiah 55. Christians are asked to take God's word and give it to others so that the wicked can learn and follow God's ways. The second scripture from Luke 13 was where Jesus told of the necessity of teaching God's word to others and to care for other people. He Leadeth Me was sung and the sermon was on The Selfish Giant. Mr. Baan spoke of a mansion that the giant kept for his own use. However it took a little boy to make him realize that God's wonders of nature are not for one person only but that everyone should have the pleasure of them. Offering was received by mem- bers of the Armstrong family.
