The Wingham Advance-Times, 1974-11-14, Page 7Fight for human development is the topic for WMS meeting Tse tnonty meeting of the Women's Missionary Society Ot St, Andrew's Presbyterian Church was held on Tuesday, November 5, The president, Mrs,° Robert M z , trong, gave the in- vocation Tad ayer, followed by the singing of "Lord ofg ht" in unison. The scripture reading, from the epistle of Paul to the Ephesians, was given by Miss Agnes Wil- liamson. The meditation based thereon, and entitled "The Unity of Mankind", was conducted by Miss Lilla Taylor. In this epistle we have what perhaps may be called the richest and most glorious product of the active mind of St. Paul. Here we have a full statement of the unity of mankind in Christ, as sons of Him who is their Father, and of God's purpose for the world through the Church. The letter seems to be addressed not only to the Ephesians, but several other churches as well; MATERNITY WEAR at the SEPARATE SNOPPE Maui Corner Clinton` Open 2-6 Closed Weds. In thisCllristt is the War of itworld-wide empire in which every Ch,ristian, Jew or Gentile, has equal rights and duties. The apostle's special in- terest in the conversion_ of the Gentiles leads to practical ex- hortations respecting the unity of the Church, and the duties of its members - the unity of Mist— . ians as forming one body with Christ as its unseen Head. The gospel is not for any one favored race, but for all mankind. Mrs. Tom Currie led the meet- ing in prayer and the group ws favored with a vocal solo, "COMO Home , by Mrs. Murray Under- wood. The topic, "The Siruggle Today for Human Development", given by Miss Myrtle Deans, was very informative and challenging- This is a study of the liberation 9f the oppressed and the fulfillment of human life. Liberation runs like a thread all through the gos- pel and salvation is so often de- scribed as liberation from cap- tivity, both Spiritual and physi- cal. "Our world today," continued Miss Deans, "is seething with un- rest, oppression, revolutions, wars, hunger, poverty, and de- spair. In sharp contrast with the glorious Biblical visions of liberation, are the realities of the present world. There are about 120 nations in the world today that might be labelled as the "have-not". We know that, while we dwell in security and comfort and enjoy' the fruits of our la- bours, for most of the world the marvellous vision of Isaiah has not happened and may, never happen if trends continue. "We live in a world of the pampered and the plundered, not just the rich and poor. While one segment of humanity is rich and growing . richerA the rest will struggle in varng degrees and have little certainty of breaking out of their stagnation. "We Christian nations are largely responsible for the unjust world in which we live. All Christians are called upon to commit themselves for the global liberation of man, both spiritual and physical. Both are equally part of God's salvation," Miss Deans concluded. Members joined in singing "From Thee All Skill and Science flow" which was followed by the burin ss period: " The minutes Your Choice Only CHARGEX 4000 123 45b 184 . 00/00 /AC B.

Three gifts which Dr. Di Gangi thought we should thank God for are : inheritance, wherein he said that we, as children of the Father, inherit a heavenly place, incorruptible, undefiled. We cannot lose it for God has promised it to us. He has quali- fied us for this inheritance if we belong to His family; trans- ference, for God has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His Son, Jesus Christ; and deliverance, for our ransom has been paid by Jes s Christ. We are acquitted becaue Jesus took our place and paid the penalty. Dr. Di Gangi showed a film after the service entitled "Winds of Change" which portrayed mis- sionary work in India and Nepal among Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists. On Tuesday evening, Dr. Di Gangi asked the question, "Did Jesus Ever Rise from the Dead?". He spoke of Paul's description ,of Jesus' relationship to God, for "He is the perfect image of the invisible God". He talked of the relationship of Jesus to the universe; He is not a mere creature but is the Creator of all things. He is the unity that holds all in place. He then spoke of Christ's role as the Head of the Church. "He is the Risen Lord," Dr. Di Gangi said. "He reconciles His people to a Holy God. He was not only true man but He was equal with God." In his closing talk, on Wednes- day evening, Dr. Di Gangi chose as his sermon title "Will Christ Really Come Again?". He spoke of the future when God promises that we shall some day be 'holy, blameless and without blemish'. He said two conditions must pre- vail if we are to be holy and free from all accusation. First, we must continue steadfast in faith and must grow to stay as chil- dren. Secondly, we must not be moved from the glorious hope that someday Christ will come to unite Christians to Himself. In closing, the speaker said, "A discipline of reverence, faithfulness and obedience such as the world has not seen, is required as we await His second appearance." Special music was provided during all the services. DURING THE WINGHAM Legion's banquet on Saturday evening, Mrs. Lillian Kreuger, *president of the branch's Women's Auxiliary, presented Legion Branch 180 President David Hines with a cheque to be used for Legion work.

He was in- troduced by Mrs. Barry Pass- more. Mr. Morin spoke of the evils of war and the ways it destroys men's morals. He spoke of the high toll of human life and how some men were ruined for life, enduring permanent physical and emotional injuries. He spoke of some of the places where he fought, how the soldiers who were not accustomed to hard times, suffered much for our freedom, living in places where there were no conveniences, cold, zero weather was prevalent and they were offered poor food. Following his very interesting and informative talk, Mr. Morin was presented with a gift by Mrs. Wray. Twenty-eight ladies attended the meeting with Mrs. Bone in charge and the theme, "Remem- brance and Defence". The 33rd Psalm was read responsively and a hymn was sung.

During the winter, the meetings will be moved to the smaller church parlor to see if the situation can be remedied. Volunteers were requested to de- liver meals for the Meals -on - Wheels program, but members felt they did not wish to drive dur- ing the winter.
