INTERNATIONAL OF STRATFORD WINGHAM ADVANCE -TIMES Auxiliary Tuesday evening at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Tiffin said, "How cotdj mission be impossible when Jesus Himself said:Go therefore and make disciples of all nations" and He promised that he would be with us always, even to the close of the age? The defini- tion of the word 'mission' is 'a sending or being sent, .with authority, to bring about some end'. Our authority is Jesus. Our end is to proclaim the Good News of the gospel, to build the. king- dom in this contemporary World. Mrs. Tiffin gave five factors that make our mission in the present day world difficult; if not impossible, Firstly, she spoke of the dynamics of change. She said, "The present world is undergoing a transformation to which no change that has yet occurred can be compared either in scope or rapidity,. affecting every facet of life. Our mission is impossible unless we as Christians are aware of the call of the new day and can face the changing world intelligently and study the changes." Secondly, she urged that, as a church, we must be ready to change to serve a radically changing world. She mentioned the fact that Christians so often like to preserve the church as it used to be, to protect its image, to cherish old rituals that remind us' of . our religious heritage. "The church is not a building nor an organization, but a people in motion. We may have to seek new ways to carry out our mission tasks. Change may, even involve a revision of church architecture St. Paul's Church (ANGLICAN) W INGHAM REV. T. K. HAWTHORN, Rector MRS.

She also spoke of the necessity of more awareness of what our missionaries are doing in overseas countries and at home, in schools, hospitals, camps, in broadcasts; on mission boats, in planes and in jails. Mrs. Tiffin then mentioned the urgency of Christian witpess, stating that Christianity' has more competition and as the world population increases our percentage is becoming smaller. "Proclaim the gospel NOW or it may be too late," she stressed. "The survival of the world may depend on the strength of the Christian faith and influence on all segments of our society." Continuing, she said, "We must unite all the. Christians of the world to carry out the mission. Christians must be summoned from old patterns, regional af- filiations, narrow denomina- tionalisms, to meet the call of the new day." • As a final point, Mrs. Tiffin spoke of commitment, the kind of personal commitment Christ asked for when he said "Follow Me". She said, "We are not, in this day, too often askedto die for the church, Hast to live for it. Perhaps the greatest single weakness of the contemporary Christian church is that millions of supposed members are • not really involved at all and what is worse they do not think it's strange that they are not. When we join the.church we promise `to make diligent use of the means of grace and in all things to seek earnestly the peace and welfare of the Church of God'." In closing, Mrs. Tiffin said, "We must dedicate ourselves to service. Mission is not impossible if every Christian is a committed Christian. In this changing world there is only one society devoted to the task of making love a reality—the Christian Church. We can carry out this mission if we truly commit ourselves and dedicate our actions' to His ser- vice." Mrs. Leonard Phillips' and her group had charge of the meeting. Hymns were sung and scripture was read from Ephesians, chapter 6. The meditation, based on the scripture, was given by Mrs: Ena : Ritchie • and Mrs. Clarence Wood and Mrs. Phillips led in. prayers.
