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.
