There was a good gathering at the home of Dorothy Jeffrey. The first step towards the new Women's Or- ganization in the Church was taken. Thomas, Gladys Braham, Marjory Al- dred and June Crozier. The way was left open for either Marjory or June to act, thereby making three from "Grace" W.A. The following were nominated by Prospect W.A., -- Tot Holthy; Margaret Holtby and Janet Vernon. We hope at their next meet- ing that Scugog "Head" W.A. and Manchester W.A. will be able to make their nominations. After all nomina- tions are sent in to the Presbytery, then meetings will be arranged, and provisions made to give all the ne- cessary details to the various organi- zations; and thus be ready to put the plan into action in January 1962, With the whole-hearted support of all our Ladies, this could be a very great step forward in the life of ow Churches. : "The heavy downpour of rain on Sunday morning, which soon turned to snow with a heavy gust-of wind behind it, resulted in much smaller congregations. We have been study- ing for the past two Sundays, the } ark of the Apostle Philip and the Minister's text was: "And Philip ran thither to him- (the Ethiopian) and heard him read the prophet Esias, and said to him, Understandest thou what thou readest? Then Philip opened "his mouth, and began at the same Scriptures, and preached Jesus," What a contrast we have between the mo- tives of Philip the Apostle and Simon the Samaritan! Philip takes love and District Churches Manchester and Prospert Christ to Samaria. He breaks. down the wall of enmity between races, and with a child-like faith, and humility preaches Jesus. So the Church and her disciples must continue to have faith in the power of love alone, to bring about the miracle of better and happier relations between Russia and America. And it will not be easier today than it was 2000 years ago. Our purpose in grasping hold of this spiritual knowledge of projecting our- selves into outer must greater than merely catching up and surpassing the Russians. This know- ledge could prove to be man's great- est ealamity, and the wiping out of the human race on earth." The Min- ister "I am stating a simple fact when 1 say, that ONLY. THE CHRISTIAN who has the spirit of the Risen Lord is able to interpret correctly the Holy Seriptures. He is gracious, and kind, and waits for the opportunity to reveal Christ not only by example, but by word and inter- pretation of the Seriptures, He in terprets God, and the Holy Words of the Saints and Apostles by present. ing Jesus, We need more men like Philip. We need Christian teachers in all our Schools and Universities. So many are not getting the Good News of Jesus at home, They may never hear it at School, They do not attend the Services of the. Church, What a wonderful opportunity God gives to us when those whi have tak- en no part in the life of the Church need her ministry! I have never re- fused to help such who have come to me to baptize their children, to marry space, he said: their young people, and to bury their dead. The Christian should take ad. sent Christ." The Minister closed with reminding the congrega- tion about our committments to the Missionary Fund of the Church. "Thus we make. it- possible for Philip to go to Samaria, telonely places like Gaza, and having accomplished his work to be on his way to Azotus and Caesarea. let us think seriously of becoming members of the Church, and taking our full share of the responsibility of witnessing tothe rtuth that God IS in Christ Jesus our Lord", Jesus The various Groups of Scugoyg "Grace" WA, will be very active from now on. On ern April 26th one of these Groups will be having a hot supper, and would like the sup? port of thie whole Island." Further announcement will be made. On Sunday, April 23rd at Man- chester, our two newly elected Elders Messrs, Willinm MeCartney and Wright Crosier will be duly set apart nnd ordained to the Eldership. One is not an Elder untit one has been set apart, even though one may have been elected by the congregation. Our congratulations and good wishes to two members. Our deepest sympathy go out to the Croxalls of Manchester in the recent death of Margaret's mother, Mrs. Thompson. Also to the Jacksons of the Island in the death of Fred's father.
