suffering and sin. It brirfgs man
into true community. God works
out his salvation not only through
the church, but also outside and
beyond the church.
Mrs. Wilfrid Congram led the
meeting in prayer.
Mrs. Currie spoke on the topic,
"Why World Missions To -Day?"
World mission has not ended; it is
just starting a new phase. It is the
converting of millions of people.
God is ever opening new doors of
opportunity for Christian witness
and there are more open doors
now than ever before. Mgrs. Cur-
rie was joined by a panel consist-
ing of Miss Williamson, Mrs. W.
Ford, Miss M. Deans, Mrs. A.
Hughes and Mrs. M. McKinney.
Their remarks indicated a
changed attitude in missions em-
phasizing the following: A one-
sided mission we giving and
they receiving, is poor for both
sides because people are quite
capable of managing their own
future; Mission for the whole
church will be a real out -going
mission --all of us sending,
receiving and planning together,
working toward a real partner-
ship; We have to learn to receive
as well as give.
An "In' Memoriam Service"
was held in memory of former
devoted members who have died
recently; Mrs. Roy Adair, Miss
Nellie Doig, Miss Jennie Murray,
Mrs. Bertha Homuth and Miss
Ann Keith.
In closing, "Take my life and
let it be" was sung and prayer of-
fered by Miss Leah Currie. •

beautiful and I wish there had
