Tbing1.sy..Ifeb. 20, PO fixtures from The World of Women 6 Huron -Perth Presbyterial U.C.W. annual in Mitchell The annual meeting of the Huron -Perth United Church Wo- men Presbyterial was, held in Mitchell United Church last Wednesday with Mrs. Harold Babensee presiding over the sessions. The theme of the pro- gram was "Deeper Commitment --Wider Horizons". Rev. Morley Clark, Christ- ian Education secretary for Lon- don Conference, enlarged on the theme in his morning ad- dress, "Corne Alive". It was an arresting add r e s s . Rev. Clark stated that Christians are more likely to be damned for what they fail to do, rather than what they do. The audience took part in a lively discussion on the needs of church corn- in/unities. Mrs. B. C. Neice, Essex, was the aftemoon speaker, She likened the UCW members to the disciples who asked, "What shall we do?" Her address an- swered this question for today's world and strangely enough, it was the same as Christ told the disciples, "Believe in Him". It is important to have a basic attitude inlife, a deep personal trust. The Un it ed ,Church can no long e r be a preaching church. It must be a listening church, a church lis- tening to its people and their problems. Men and women will go forward together asking God continually, "What can we. do?". "Believe on Him. Let go and let God direct our lives," advised Mrs. deice. Mrs. Neice also. answered the question, "Why s t u d y China?".. God regards all peo- ple as brothers and He is com- mitted to tper2 even if they are not commit to Him. Using his gu it a r the Rev. Morley Clark led the afternoon. sing -song and Mrs. A.J.
