service men and prisoners of war during war time in making a contribution to the bible society you are carrying forward the work of making the word of god available to the world which was started by the pioneers of this district nearly 100 years ago this branch was founded in stew- arttown which was the larger place in 1846 or 1848 back in the days of pounds shillings and pence and has kept an unbroken record ever since its records are in good order and are in the vaults of the society in to ronto even though wages and re ceipts for farm products in close days were probably not more than a quax- terfof what they are now the giving were greater and yet the need is probably much greater today last year this branch increased its ob jective to 76 and by a special effort reached it the objective for 194 is the same according to mr j d godfrey the president collections are being taken in the several pro testant church of the town and vici nity at the annual meewng neld recently rev mocleary the secretary of the upper canada bible society told this interesting story recently a german prisoner of war produced an english bible which had written pn its fly leaf to john from mother his story was that before being sent to the western front he had been a guard at a prison camp and had be come friendly with a young allied soldier imprisoned there when he told him that he was being transferr ed to the front the young soldier gave him his bible as a momento of their friendliness it seemed a strange and unlikely story but it wmrutvesti gated and found correct before go ing overseas the young soldier on his last leave was given a bible by his mother who wrote on it to jolftt and the prison guard who later be came a prisoner of the allies had be come friendly through the bible else john would nvcr have given him his mothers present nor would the nasi guard have run the risk of the taunts and juers kit ills fellow nazis if he was found with a bible in his posses sion evidently through the bible john had found a way to this man s heart having lost his weapons with which to kill the enemies of mankind he had used the weapon of the word of god and it had killed the hate and the lust in at least on nazi report of annual meeting ladies bible class glen the ladies bible class of glen williams united church held its an nual supper and election of officers at the
