4 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. November 3, 1976 Franz Fashions and British Bulldog's Lunch Make for interesting Noon Hour was a key word in his address, his international service, re- search, a church-loving wife, two sons and three daughters made his speech fluent. His talk was so readily understandable as he used a large World Map with the 5 major religions of the whole universe in different colours. He stated that though we are divided in 4 ways by: race, colour, religion and language yet unity not uniformity can be achieved by Interfaith dialogue and prayers for which we must live and strive. We should build bridges not walls and work towards a better world with no more hunger or war but peace and unity. In conclusion he quietly pleaded that we accept Jesus' challenge that all may be of one heart and mind and though it is not easy it is our opportunity and is possible even in adversity to find unity through the Spirit of God. Appreciation to the wonder- ful guest was voiced by Mrs. Hill, Raglan U.C.W. and Mrs. Hall, Hampton U.C.W. Bene- diction was pronounced by the two manse ladies in their husband's absence ie.

Pres.-Joan Mc- Nab and Ebenezer U.C.-U.C. W. Pres. Gwen Muir. Some reports followed on (1) Supply and Service by substituting Margaret Down (Ebenezer U.C.) in Verna Hodson's unavoidable absence which tabulated places requir- ing supply and service and she concluded the report saying "Don't Throw anything a- way!". (2) Finance by Treas. Erma Wood (Westminster U.C.) where figures indicated that the U.C.W. were in no danger of being in the red. Local report forms were distributed to local presidents (3) Bursary by Susan Saywell (St. Stephens U.C.) with brief explanation of kinds and sources of money gifts and use of Bursary funds and an encouraging report of highest attendance this year of Full Time Workers at Queen's and Toronto Universities. (4) Quin-Mo-Lac with 64 U.C.W. members attending the spec- ial Week-End where six of these were from our Oshawa Presbyterial Executive when Rev. Gordon Hunter was speaker. Three of these ladies gave an informative report titled "Christians do not have to be perfect." and the other three ladies presented a skit on Volunteer Work which was humourous and impressive. (5) Literature by Donna Johnston (Eldad U.C.) who expertly gave recommenda- tions of some highly valued books available and invited all to visit her extensive Book Display and other interesting item in the Book Room at each church. The Bible Explorations period was introduced by a dramatic interpretation of a Scripture passage and entitled "A Very Special Talent" with a cast of 16 characters played by U.C.W. Executive which was followed by Bible Study related to the drama when all were divided into eight groups with one leader each where each realized fully that our talent is Christ and we need to spread him around whicfh was concluded by a pianologue "If Jesus Came to Your House to Spend Some Time with You" by Jackie Guthrie (Audley) Program Convener. Each Vice-Pres. in charge led the business discussion ex- plaining each display and gave the following announce- ments. 1. Moderator Rev. W. Howard guest speaker at 7.30 p.m. November 7, 1976 at Northminster U.C. Oshawa. 2. January 17, 1977 Full Execu- tive of U.CW. meeting (place to be decided later), 3.

Each expressed thanks to Margaret Down for Name Tags (Praying Hands), two organists and others. The One Day's Pay for World Development and Re- lief was led by 3rd. Vice-Pres. Una Killens (Hampton) who informed the groups that this fund was over and above M&S givings and was used specially for emergency aid and contin- uing assistance to disaster areas and during the Hymn Sing of "Hold My Hand, My Brother, Sister" the donations were received by Bob Ann Dickson and Erma Wood on both days and amounted to $535.00 and $125.00 by Mail at Port Perry U.C. and $20000 and gifts by mail at Ebenezer U.C. A short time was allowed to visit the Literature display and purchase books and other interesting tokens. Good cooks displayed their culinary ex- pertise in the delicious dinners served in both churches. Greetings were extended by Rev. Bob Braun from Port Perry U.C. and Mrs. Donna Burns from Ebenezer U.C. and each said Grace. Chair- man of Presbytery Stephen Saywell brought Greetings and good wishes from Oshawa Presbytery. Two other specials at the dinner hour were observation of Rev. J. Seunarine's birth- day at Port Perry U.C. by a surprise birthday cake decor- ated to represent an Open Bible brought in by Pres. Marjorie Ferries (St. Step- hen's U.C.). Then at Ebenezer U.C. we had the pleasure of meeting David Seunarine, second son of our guest speaker, who accompanied his dad and was a dinner guest. The afternoon session began by all singing "Sons of God." The Roll Call showed at Port Perry U.C. 136 attending from 27 local U.C.W.'s and at Ebenezer U.C. 148 from 30 locals. Three additional special reports were from 1. Women's Inter Church Coun- cil by Margaret Elliott (U.W. C.A. representative) who ex- plained this organization's functions and assistance also recommended the book "Jus- tice Not Charity" 2. Medical Research by Shirley Lavis, Simcoe St. U.C. (Evelyn Redpath substituting at Port Perry U.C.( whose personal story was so touching it was a perfect promoter to stir all to comply with her request to send letters to the oligarchy of our country with an appeal for more funds for Medical Re- search. 3. Stewardship by Bob Ann Dickson, Northminster U.C. who emphatically urged attention to Personal Wills, Bequests and Gifts and recom- mended available help from several periodicals, conclud- ing with a beautiful poem "Hands." Worship was led by Brooklin U.C. W. ladies at Port Perry U.C. and included a delightful vocal solo "I Found the Answer" and by Zion U.C.W. at Ebenezer with a vocal solo by Eileen Down. The guest speaker Rev. James Seunarine, Associate Secretary, Interfaith Dialogue Division of World Outreach, United Church of Canada was introduced by Erma Wood (Westminster U.C.W.) at Port Perry Church and by Inez Bowden (Newtonville U.C.W.) at Ebenezer U.C. Rev. James Seunarine, as he occupied the pulpit radiated happiness, sincerity and dedication and all present had some of these qualities transmitted as they heard his message Dialogue This is Energy Conservation Week.
