Mrs, Debbie Wood, with the assistance of Mrs. Emma Lamb, has organized a choir of approximately 14 children, and on Sunday Debbie held Sunday School for them in the Parish Hall. All chîildren are invited to attend both the choir and the Sunday School. Rev. Sissmore chose Matt 5:22 as the text for his sermon on "Anger". The law God gave to Moses was holy, sacred scripture, but Jesus was entitled to add to that law, as Jesus added "Whoever is angry without a cause"-the last phrase softens the law, although He tries to make us realize our weaknesses re- garding anger. He especially condemns a moral fool who is one who knows full well what is right and what is wrong. He commands one to make peace with a wrongdoer, it wili restore a relationship of love. "Owe no man anything, but love one another." A student from Wycliffe College will speak at the churches of the Parish next Sunday. On September 25, Mr. W. Graham of the United Chur ch continued his lesson on "The Will of God." Some of the guidelines to arrive at the will of God are: 1: Our faith should be evident. Paul, in Corin- thians, exhorts us to glorify God in our bodies and show our Christianity by the way we live. 2. We are told to be a living offering to God. 3. And to be holy dedicated to God and oppose those things that are negative to God's will. 4. To be acceptable to God and to do this we must be familiar with the scripture teachings. 5. To be rationally understood and live by an acceptable standard. 6. To be usefully employed. Each one of us has a role to play and a God given talent that we should use profitably. The will of God is perfect, complete, we follow it. Romans 12:1. The Project Committee is planning a bake sale to be held at Towers, Peterborough on October. On October 2, "Marks of a Christian" was Mr. Graham's theme. When a person becomes a member of a society he is expected to live the lifestyle of the group and when a person accepts the Lord as His Saviour, he is expected to live a Christian life. Mr. Graham referred to one person in an orchestra not following the rest of the symphony, then there is a marked discord, such is the case of one disobedient ser- vant of God, then the harmony of Christianity is broken. Four marks of a Christian life as found in Ephesians 4:1, 2 are: 1. Lowliness or humility. 2. Meekness or gentleness-being under God's control 3. Long-suffering- patience-persistence-to the Christian it means never admit defeat and to suffer unpleasant acts with gracious- ness, without irritation. 4. Forebearing-baving brotherly love. These are marks of a Christian that should be ob- served and lived every day. On October 9, there will be a Thanksgiving guest speaker and Miss Susan Hogan of Kingston as soloist. Bethany Greeters at the United Church for October are Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Ashbury and ushers are Lisa Neals and Debbie and Tracy Porteous.

Marjorie spoke of new frontiers Christians have, and how as pioneers the scriptures can be opened up if we look to Jesus as our leader, as He is the pioneer of love. She read a poem ,Thanks for the Memory.I Elaine Philips introduced the guest speaker, Mrs. Nellie Walpole, who is an outstand- ing writer for the Globe and Mail. She was speaking for ber daughter, Peggy Anne, who was ill, but it was most interesting to hear of the wonderfui work Peggy Anne is doing for "troubled girls" at ber Street Haven Lodge in Toronto. Mrs. Walpole told how a girl in the gutter was "passed by"' by a prîest and a business man, but Peggy took her to the hospital and left money for her care. The Haven she started was crude as it was a discarded beverage room, but by her persistent hard work and organization she was able to get a building in operation which is now an emergency centre where girls can come when released from jail. It was not all smooth going for Peggy as she was criticized by many who did not understand that she was trying to help drugs and alcoholic addicts. However, with a council, she managed to purchase Sam McLaughlin's old summer home in Beaver- ton, which she called Grant House, after a girl, Vicky Grant, whom she had convert- ed into a fine lady. All the people of Beaverton now back the Grant House and many girls now have a reason to live. 2500 girls have gone through the doors of Street Haven and love is the main action under Peggy's under- standing attitude toward these girls. Purely voluntary funds finance these homes. The story told about Peggy Anne by her mother made one realize that love and compas- sion are still existing in many parts of the world Viola Thorndyke thanked Mrs. Wampole for coming and sharing this stirring emotional experience with the group. Lunch was served by Elaine Phillip's group. Get-well wishes are extend- ed to Gerry Staples, who was rushed to the hospital with a ruptured appendix. We wish him a speedy recovery.
