ings. Organ preludes were by

graciously and humbly accepted

The guest speaker for -this oc
casion' was 'Miss Marjorie Mac-
Kay, who was introduced by Mrs.
Don Robertson, Kinlough, as a
graduate of York College, To-
ronto, presently a deaconess at
Knox Church, Guelph. Miss Mac-
Kay has spent fourteen years in
WMS work, some of which has
been served in Home Missions in
Western Canada, ,and most re-
cently a short period in Christian
Education work in India.. She
brought greetings, 'from . the
church of Northern India. She
thanked all Canadians ' for their
great help •over so many years,
the results of which are now evi-
dent in view of the number of
schools, . hospitals, and churches
which have been erected. The
work of the Christian church is
spreading out to so many' areas.
Agricultural skills in planting,
harvesting, and the use of west-
ern -type 'farm equipment 'are
- practised. -
Most encouraging„of all is that
Indians, for the most part, now
carry on the work themselves as
independent, reliable, useful citi=
zens. The doctors and nurses ' in
the hospitals , are nearly all In-
dians. There are no Canadian
ministers in India today and no
new missionaries are being ap-
pointed. They have their own
schools for training teachers and

nurses. Whereas money for
books, clothes, food, travel, etc.
used to be provided by the West -
.ern churches, this condition no
longer exists. Now they "pay
their own way". The standard of
work is very high and good disci-
pline has been observed. '
Miss MacKay spoke of India as
a land of contrasts—wealth vs.
poverty, mountains and plains,
high-rise apartments and dowdy
slums, 'heat and cold, wet or dry,
the lush green of beautiful
flowering trees and drab brown
of dry, cracked earth. The food,
climate, even the sun is different
there.
Her slides gave interesting in-
sight into the everyday life of
many. They showed—eds as
.sembled at bazaars; coo • g out
side (like our barbecues) ; eigh-
ing cotton ,for sale; using riyerp
for 'bathing, laundry and water-
ing ' animals; men, and women
too, at work building roads; and
homemade beds of bamboo or
corn. ,
Solid homes of mud and cow
dung have minimal furnishings,
perhaps only a small stove and
bed rolls. They are fenced around
and having a room reserved for
the animals as a protection from
thieves. They make bricks, ce-
ment blocks, tiles, and play-
horses to which evil spirits go. A
donkey cart may provide ambu-
lance service. The Taj Mahal
tomb built in twenty years, of
solid marble and precious stones,
is a superb ' architectural fete.
Canada House is 'attractively
landscaped .with picturesque
shrubbery, freshly -clipped
lawns, and showy flower gar-
dens,' with the Maple Leaf flag
fluttering aloft. '
-The Indian people seem to be a
'patient, happy,' superstitious,
clean, well dressed, , healthy -
looking race with a definite
charm radiating from the inside.
They are creators of immense
beauty in crafts such as weaving
and carving, capable of delightful
musical performances, and very
dedicated to the cause. Women
•wear saris, many bangles, neck-
laces; 'and earrings. Turbans on
men may indicate they are non-
Christian.
The pace of 'living is much
slower there. They have lots of
patience to wait for things—per-
haps a whole day for health injec-
tions.
From Miss MacKay the ladies
learned much about India and the
part played by the Western
churches in that land.
Things to pander from the
synodical reports at this meeting
are: the decline of membership,
the use of the Glad Tidings, the
children and young people of the
church, getting reports in on
time, bearing witness in one's
'own community, the $2 registra-
tion fee for CGIT members, the
advantages of having meetings'in
the homes, help needed in psy-
chiatric hospitals and children's
wards and educating students
from other lands •so they can go
back and carry on. '
Some catchy mottoes sprang
out from words spoken, such as:
Less concern for ourselves, and
more for others; Worry is an in-
sult to trod; Witnessing is taking
a long look at Jesus and then tell-
ing what you see.
