Nita Sinclair opened with a prayer, follow- ed by a hymn sing, led by Cecile Bar- nhart. On the study of "Heart Trou- ble" they continued their workshop on a "Contented Heart." They learned that another enemy of ' the contented heart, besides worry and envy, is bitterness, which is real- ly lack of forgiveness. This enemy can be defeated by patience and trust, so as not to ronin one's Christian witness. A quiet heart does not depend upon a quiet life or outward circumstances, but upon attitude - "Two men were behind prison bars, one saw mud, the other, stars." , As Christ said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled, trust in God, trust also in Me." John 14:1. The lesson was led by Gwen Cambell. The closing prayer was given by Anne Richard- son, remembering the sick and shut- ins. The meeting will be the same time and place next week.
