LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Wingham Advance -Times Dear Editor: Recently, I had the pleasure of being a patient in the Wingham and District Hospital and during this "Hospital Week" I would like to show my appreciation. During my 10 -day stay in the OB wing of the hospital I not only learned how to care for my baby but also I learned just how wonderful nurses can be. Being a `first time mother' I was fairly nervous holding and feeding my baby,, but I had lots Of supervision and got plenty of helpful hints. I was even allowed ,to bath and change my baby every night. By the time I left I was very relaxed and considered myself a pro. While I was there my room was scrubbed from ceiling to floors by the housekeeping staff. My flowers were watered every day and my entire room dusted. I tried to talk them into coming home with me but I was unsuc- cessful. As far as my meals went, I' have only compliments for the kitchen staff. The food was very substantial as well as delicious. I'll bet there are quite a few people who don't know that there are exercise classes in the physiotherapy department every day for all the OB patients. It's a great start for getting back in shape. They are really helpful and also quite enjoyable. Of course I can't speak ' for everyone who is a patient in the hospital but for myself I say 'Thank you', keep up the good work and I'll be back in a couple of years. In appreciation Mrs. Sheila Stapleton Home a: e / e • I e e e I e I I I t / St. P�uI's Church (ANGLICAN) W INGHAM REV. T. K. HAWTHORN, Rector MRS. D.

Missionary in India for 36 yrs., Miss Kennedy captivates audience Have you experienced the thrill of listening to Margaret Kennedy speak? Do avail yourself of the opportunity if she comes your, way. Miss Kennedy, a missionary in India, is home now and is ac- cepting speaking engagements. Only the very:apathetic could fail to have a responsive chord touch- ed 'by this enthusiastic person- ality, the light of love in her eye,-, and the dynamic persuasion of her voice as she, with the aid of excellent slides, describes in ' vivid- detail the growth of our missionary effort in that part of India in which she must be a truly dedicated servant. Miss\ Kennedy has been in India's BhiI area since March 1939 as an evangelistic worker, chiefly with women. Her large audience was captivated and spellbound as she addressed the Maitland Presbyterial Society in Knox Presbyterian Church, Teeswater, on . May 5, leading them eagerly and humorously through the developing years and growth of the Christian church in India, from the little trickle of 1898* to its present broad scope.

In the beginning, teaching the people to read and to work in dis- pensaries led to the setting up of proper schools, the ordaining of ministers, .followed by the es- tablishment of hospitals, babies' homes, and the formation of Presbyteries as branches of. the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Bible Schools graduated, students who became evangelists and Wo- - men's Fellowship groups were begun. In 1952 a mobile clinic was organized with two Indian nurses and a driver to start a health pro- gram in the villages. Miss Kennedy spoke of the im- mense difficulties encountered in communication because ' df great language barriers in dealing with many millions of people, and the obstacles presented by the fear of spirits and witch doctors. She stressed the effectiveness of drama as a teaching medium. Role-playing lets them see how things happen and is more easily understood than the written or spoken word in many cases. Now the Church of North India has developed with 600,000 Christians. In a population of 550,000,000 there are 12,000,000 Christians in India. Light and learning has gone out from the schools and is shining . through their own pastors, evangelists, doctors, nurses, teachers and . drivers. They are learning to stand alone and to take charge of themselves, but still need much help from us to surmount' their many colossal . problems. It be- hooves us to share our multi- tudinous blessings with them. • So; from a very small begin- ning Miss Kennedy has seen great growth in the Church in India. "It has enlarged the cur- tains of its tent, reached out to other work than it% own, and brought in --others." We must all do likewise, go, tell, show, teach; all made possible by our prayers, our interest in missions, and our money. She .has, witnessed people who were off in little pockets now going out, getting together, and becoming a part of the family of God, out of a state of complete il- literacy to a state of joyful knowl- edgeability of the workings of the spirit of God in every phase of daily living.
