Chalmers WMS speaker stresses merits of Bible WHITECHURCH — The Bible, a 'book which stands alone with never another book like it', was the topic of a talk given by Mrs. Victor Emerson when the June meeting of Chalmers Women's Missionary Society was held on Wednesday of last week at the home of Mrs. Don . Ross. Mrs. Emerson urged her listen- ers to believe the words of the Gospels of Jesus Christ. "Do not trouble yourselves with questions on the book of Genesis or difficul- ties suggestecbby Revelation," she said She said that no other book can compare with the Bible's influ- ence on mankind and uplifting of humanity. Though it has been ridiculed and people have been. forbidden to read it, it is still re- spected and by many people read daily for a lifetime. "The mes- sage of no other book will so re- lieve and exalt a person,'.' Mrs. Emerson said. "May God grant that you read the Bible to be wise, believe it to be safe and practise it to be holy." Mrs. Emerson also gave the call to worship and extended, a welcome to all. She read scrip- ture from the ninth chapter of Mark's Gospel and delivered a brief meditation. She stressed that greater deeds are by men when they are not concerned about getting credit for them and the greatest deeds come when we are anxious that God should re- ceive the glory.
