Church women learn about `the acid test' Mrs. Helen Scane presided at the March meetingof the U.C.W. of Hensall United CHurch. After repeating the U.C.W. purpose the hymn #'Dear Lord and . Father of Mankind" was sung. Helen read a poem "Listen to the Voice of God", using as her theme "One Day at A Time" or "Worry" using material written by Rev. Davidson. In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus said "Do not be anxious about tomorrow, tomorrow will look after itself; each day has troubles of its own". Many of us will spend'much time and energy today, worrying about yesterdays' happenings. We are all in varying•degrees, victims of warty. Some Is valid but much is needless. Like us Jesus' disciples were worriers, which led them to quarrelling. In Luke 12, Jesus said to them not to be worried about food and clothes, these will be provid- ed. if you must worry, try to switch your worry to the concern for the well being of others and thus help worry to evaporate. "0 Master Let Me Walk With Thee" was sung. The prayer of Serenity was repeated. The roll coll was answered. by a verse on prayer, and the minutes were read. Offering was dedicated by Helen. Audrey Joynt conducted a very interesting study on "Faith and Justice" using the story "The Acid Test". It is about a prominent school teacher, Mr. McLean, who also was a charter member of church organizations. He was at a meeting discussing an old home to be replaced with modern buildings and the building to be used for a half way house, when his daughter came in unex- pectedly and saw fit to stand up in the meeting and read Matt. 25 Verses 40 to 45: "I tell you this anything you did for one of my brothers here,however humble you did for me and anything you • did not do for one of them, however humble, you did not do for me". This showed her father andothers the reason for the group home. Audrey led a short discussion.

God's love is --caring actively, is respon- sive, is giving, has respect for everyone and is full of forgiveness. God's example has been seen in the life of ' Christ and should be followed both within the church and within the world. Then we can relate to others as God relates to us.
