Gospel in music is the theme for unit meeting FORDWICH — Gospel in Music was the theme for the worship service of the UCW Afternoon' Unit. Minnie McElwain, assisted by Mrs. Ron Livermore, used numerous hymns to illustrate the message. Instead of a verse to open the meeting, the group sang a hymn and in place of the scripture reading, sang the 23rd Psalm. For a% prayer, the Lord's Prayer was sung and the offering was received and dedicated with another hymn. Miss McElwain 'told the story how the author wrote the hymn '"In the Garden", which Mrs. Livermore sang as a solo. She explained how the hymn "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus" was written by Mr. Duffield on his deathbed. She told about the next hymn, "Guide Me 0 Thou Great Jehovah" being written by a Welshman, John Hughes, and how he came to write it. The stories behind the hymns gave them more meaning. The theme for the program was These Followed Him; it was given by Mrs. Jack Wilson and Mrs. Russell Nickel. They chose two disciples as examples: Peter and John. To describe Peter, they told of his occupation, his character, his home life and how he was a great leader, impulsive, but also a coward. He could be a real rock or suddenly change to sand. We also have the same traits. He walked with Jesus on the water and, then denied him at the cross. But he became a changed man under God's guidance and followed Jesus till the end. Thenthey told of John. He was basically a good man, but also a radical, a spoiled man, very strong-minded, with a bad temper. There was also a discussion about whether John really wrote the fourth gospel. For three Years Johnt lived in the magnetic power- of Jesus, and so earned a very special place in his heart. We can be transformed by prayer, the Bible and corporate worship and using the sacrament, which is a pledge of God's love and trust. We also will write a gospel, not on paper but in human deeds and character. Roll call for the business meeting was answered by 19 members and one visitor with a gospel hymn. A special plate for the colle- ction was donated 'by Mrs. McLaughlin. Mrs. Scott Clarkson and Mrs. Helen Nickel volunteered to go to the regional meeting at Bluevale Oct. 13 at 7 p.m. The ladies decided on no booth at the fair and were reminded of the fowl supper Oct. 27. Rev. Fleetham pronounc- ed the benediction and a social hour was enjoyed, with lunch served by Mrs. George Pittendreigh, Mrs. Harold Doig and MTs.
