The February meeting of the Woman's Association of Colborne United Church was held in the Sunday School Hall on Thursday, February 11th. The ladies met at 1 p.m. and enjoyed a pot luck luncheon prior to the regular meeting at 2.30 p.m. The new President, Mrs. F. Michell, opened the meeting with the Motto followed by the theme song and theme prayer in unison. Mrs. R. Graham had charge of the devotional period. Hymn 21 was sung followed by prayer by Mrs.-Graham. The Scripture lesson was read by Mrs. Woot-ton from St. John 8:12-19. Mrs. Graham gave a most interesting paper on "Christ the Light of __the World". In describing four ""gigantic murals in one of the buildings in Radio City in New York City, the painter F. Brangwyn, a modern artist, has huge paintings portraying primitive life of the cave man, I followed by painting number | two showing civilization taking shape. In mural number three we see the achievements of our modern machine age and in the fourth painting the artist gives us the conditions on which the future can harbor hope. It is a picture of people of every race and creed looking upward to a picture of Christ preaching on the mountain. Below this picture is written "Man's ultimate destiny depends not on whether he can learn new lessons or make new discoveries and conquests, but on his acceptance of the lesson taught him close upon 2000 years ago". The artist is saying that our hope rests in Christ and His teachings. Through Him we gain a respect that restores our faith in men and from Him we gain a confidence that calms our fears. Following the devotional period, hymn 399~was sung. The President welcomed two new members, Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. McNeil. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the Secretary, Mrs. McMullen, and were ap- The Voice Of The Church A WEEKLY MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR LOCAL MINISTERS ' The Law of the Highway ' By Rev. James Gibson In Isiah, chapter 35, verse 8, I read these words, "And a highway shall be there and a In the beginning, the highway was only a trail through the forest and the jungles. The more lightly it was marked the better, since he who followed was as likely to be a foe as friend. Still the hunt had to go forward, if there was to be meat in the lodge, and individuals had to form into a tribe if there was to be safety and strength anywhere. So the trail broadend into paths; and, when the lodges became houses, the paths grew into roads and streets. Then came the primit-tive royalty with its Chariots which must needs be delivered from the bogs and stones of the common road. So the King's Highway was built - built by the unwilling toil of those who could not ride. But the weary feet also found profit in the smoother way of travel and, in lands where there was no King, the public highway began. t is interesting to note what important factor in civilized life the road has become. The highway has become more than way to get there," it is being made a comfort and a pleasure for those who journey. Travelers have mightily increased and solitary horseman with loneliness and mystery has given place to the automobile with its luxury and its merry passengers. No one j may obstruct* tho highway. In the long-ago' days of the early Isralites in Canaan, there were cities of refuge SHILOH W.A. ion. We would not put stumbling blocks before a blind man or broken glass in the roadway of the speeding car. Likewise we would not put temptation in the path of our boys and girls or teach false doctrines to our weaker and more ignorant neighbours; But oh; the hindrances that we put in the way of their lives' smooth running. Selfishness and self-conceit claim the middle of the road and tt-ke the right of way. There is no work so important the meeting, urs, and the affairs of oth-must stand aside and be ded into inconvenient corn-Then there are the moods and tempers that roughen and spoil the daily highway. Who does not know days when work is hindered, the courage drained and the wheels brain and hand made to turn slowly and heavily because of 's injustice and unkin- The regular meeting of the Shiloh W.A. was held in the hall on Wednesday, February 24th, following a dinner at noon. It was in charge of the President, Mrs. Beryl Mutton and opened with hymn 20, "Lord of All Being". The devotional was in charge of Mrs. Evelyn Ferguson. She read as her Scripture reading, Col. 1:1-14. The Theme was 'The True Light of the World". Hymn 489 "Behold a Stranger the Door", closed that part of The law of the road that forbids injury also demands help. Every good calls for payment. We cannot enjoy the blessings civilization and refuse to do our share in upholding them. If we want the way for boys' feet made free from social wrongs and temptations, must do our part with our vote and influence. If we want children drawn into high and helpful relationships. If we want them to learn the foundation truths and principles that have steadied our own lives - trusts and i obligation that the Church and Sunday School teach - then1 we ought to support those institutions with our money and our presence. Do not expect others to provided for the manslayer to keep up the safe road whilst which he might flee from the avenger of blood. The roads to these were to be kept always open and in good repair, that he who fled for safety might not be hindered in his sore need. The walled refuges have vanished, but human need for safe road has only increased with the centuries. The Doctor, the ambulance and the fire engine, must meet no obstacle on the public highway. Therefore the road must have law, and travelers must abide by the right of way. He who infringes upon this, trespasses upon his neighbour and incurs the risk and the penalty. And the daily chapter of accidents tells the result. neglect to do our part. As the years go on, we trust that the tribe of the Good Samaritan is increasing, and that of the heartless passer-by is growing less. It is no longer good form to /express indifference for those who fall by the way, and kindness is becoming a mighty, even though unwritten, rule, instead of an individual impulse. It ought to be the rule of life's daily travel. To help to build the good road by all we have and are. To help to keep it free and safe by our care and example, to have a heart and hand of sympathy for those who fall by the way. To give "a lift" to fellow pilgrims, whenever it lies in our power. This is the law of the Road, ing it unsafe to travel on. There! That Road from Earth to Heav-is also a law against obstruct- en. proved as read.

The next meeting will be held on March 10th. In case you have to dicker with a neighbour over how much his silage is worth, buy on this basis: corn silage is worth about one-third the price of good alfalfa hay. So says Dr. Bill Tossell, forage researcher at the O.A.C. According to him, "the feeding value of 3 pounds of good corn silage is about equal to the feeding value of 1 pound of good alfalfa hay. If the hay is selling for $21 a ton, corn silage is worth about $7 a ton." You might still have trouble estimating quantity, but you can get a fair guide by using these figures. A settled column of 14x26 feet of silage weighs about 70 tons. The density increases as you go towards the bottom and the bottom 10 feet would weigh about 27 tons. From these figures you should be able to calculate approximately how much buying and its Rev. VanWalsem installed the 1960 officers. The minutes were read and adopted and business transact-' ed.
