and Barbara is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lorne Met-
calfe, Wingham.
Honor mothers at
Goforth gathering
Mothers were honored at the
May meeting of the Goforth
Evening Auxiliary at St. An-
drew's Presbyterian, Church,
Wingharn.
Mrs. Tim Willis conducted the
devotional portion of the meeting
and read a poem, . "Where's
Mother", followed by members
joining to sing "Happy the Home
when God Is There".
In keeping with the theme, the
22nd chapter of Proverbs was
read by Mrs. Gordon Welwood
and the meditation, "A Master
Plan", was given by Mrs. Parker
Campbell. She spoke of parents
planning for the future of their
children and stressed that all
worthwhile things must be
planned wellin advance.
"Anything . worth building is
worth -planning first," she said.
"What a dark world this would be
if God had not planned 'a way of
redemption for sinful man!"
Mrs. Campbell went on to say
that the foundation of our life
plan should be a Christian home
where God is honored and wor-
shipped and where -God is called
upon in daily prayer to guide and
direct activity. She said, after the
foundation, should come the
framework of a life' built on
church attendance and filled' in
with friends who are honest and
true. Other things for the master
plan are hope, optimism, music
and the love of beauty.
Mrs. John Norman led in pray-
er.
Children play an important
part in the home and two boys,
Stephen Gaunt and Rance Willis,
sang a sincere and beautiful duet,
"The Old Rugged Cross".
Mrs. Murray Gaunt introduced
the guest speaker, Mrs. Leonard
Fex of the Berean Chapel, who is
the proud mother of four grown
children. Mrs, Fex centred her
thoughts around the theme and
the duties and privileges of
family life. She spoke of the value
of raising children in a Christian
environment and urged all to' ac-
cept Christ through faith and look'
to the scriptures to find God's
,,Message.
Mrs. • Fex likened a' mother's
care for her children to the storm
• ekperienced by the disciples on
the sea. Jesus was present but
asleep and, it appeared that He
didn't dare about their plight. She
said, "Often we have to' go
through turbulent times with our
children and we question if Christ
cares about our troubles arid
trials. When • we trust Him
through every circumstance He
will guide our boat to safe har-
bour."
Mrs. Fex encouraged the de-
velopment of work habits, rules
to be obeyed and devotional times
to be enjoyed.
Mrs. Parker Campbell dedi-
cated the offering and the presi-
dent, Mrs. Ralph Nixon, and sec-
retary, Mrs. Robert Campbell,..
conducted the business portion of
the meeting. Preparations were
made to conduct the Sunday
service with WMS members -on

Following prayer by Mrs.
Murray Gaunt, lunch was served.
