Later in his sermon he spoke of the "Lent God Wills", and the Christian's need for it. The choir's anthem was "I believe in God the Father". The yellow chrysanthemum of the previous Sundays was still bright and cheerful and a fresh one, mauve coloured, was provided by Wesleyville group one.

They met together at Perrytown Angli- can Church where the service was conducted by Mrs. J.H. Gardiner.

Those taking part were Mesdames R. Newton, H. Osborne, J. McHolm, J. Con- nelly, and Berniece Best. Other parts of the service were shared by members of Canton, Garden Hill and Perrytown churches. The union choir provided leader- ship in song with Mrs. June Smith, soloist and Mrs. R. Bartlett, organist. The meditation on the responsibility of the church recalled how it had been interpreted in the past cen- turies, and to-day's grave responsibility in the light of centuries of teaching to peoples of other lands, of the brotherhood of man. Now under the critical observation of an awakened world, the teaching must be put in practice. Following the service all present enjoyed the hospital- ity of the Perrytown ladies, who served refreshments during a social time of visitîng.
