Highlight of the meet' was the presentation of a life membership to Mrs. P4aph Nixon in recognition of her work as president of the Goforth group. In making the presentation, Mrs. Robert .McKague expressed the feelings of all present when she said that Mrs. Nixon had fulfilled the duties of president above and beyond the call of duty. Mrs. Len Phillips, convener, opened the meeting with a call to worship, followed by a medita- tion on the apostle Paul given by Mrs. Harry Bateman. Mrs. Marion Scott led in prayer. A singsong of familiar hymns was led by Mrs. Ed Beard accom- panied by Mrs. Wallace Richard- son at the piano. Mrs. Phillips introduced the guest speaker for the evening, Mrs. Robert Campbell, a mem- ber of the group. She chose as her topic "Friends" Mrs. Campbell spoke of three special friendships which have influenced her life. The first friend, Mrs. Campbell noted, had accepted her "just as she was". She likened this to the way in which the Lord Jesus accepts us just as we are. Her second friend taught her the importance of having a sense of priorities in life, always asking Theory pupils pass examinations BRUSSELS—Five pupils of Mrs. Winona Martin of Brussels have passed their Royal Con- servatory Theory examinations.

Mary Ellen Knight passed the -Grade II Rudiments with 80 per cent. the question, "Will it make any difference in 1,000 years?". Not very many things will make any difference in 1,000 years, but the Kingdom of God is one that will. In stressing priorities, Mrs. Campbell reminded her listeners to "seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." The third friend taught her the joy of serving others. She spoke of Jesus and how He .served His disciples and others as friends. Jesus said, "You are My friends if ye do whatsoever I command you." These three friends changed Mrs. Campbell just as surely as anyone who comes to know Jesus personally, is changed. Mrs. Nixon thanked Mrs. Campbell and the worship closed with prayer. The business portion of the meeting was conducted by Mn. Clarence Wood, president. Mn. Robert Arbuckle read the min- utes of the last meeting after which several items of interest were discussed. The Goforth and WMS groups will be in charge of the church service July 4, at which time Miss Ida White, missionary on fur- lough from India, will be the guest speaker. look � neighbour... new free :toll I ALLEY CLEANER Fiffs r1we. . . . . . . . .......00 Z T Wr7Butler chain type I free stall alley cleaner scrapers run automatically to remove manure, moistures Air is drier, cows cleaner.
