The W.M.S. met in the Sunday School Hall on Thursday afternoon, June 2nd. The President, Mrs. Taylor, opened the meeting with the hymn, "Fountain of Good, to Own Thy Love Our Thankful Hearts Incline; What Can We Render, Lord, to Thee, When All the Worlds are Thine?", followed by prayer. Mrs. Wootton, Chistian Citizenship Secretary, read an article regarding war refugees. A child in answer to a question said, "We have a home but place to put it". The home the family The families stay together, hoping that some day they will have a real home. Mrs. A. W. Chisholm, Christian Stewardship Secretary, gave us some information on "Where our W.M.S. money goes". The worship service was under the leadership of Mrs. W. Mills, the theme being, "Jesus, the Good Shepherd". Mrs. Waite read the Scripture lesson, the story of the Good Shepherd as given in the 10th chapter of St, John's Gospel. The hymn, Jesus, the very thought of Thee", was sung and the 23rd Psalm was repeated in unison. As David, the shepherd and author of this Psalm, protected sheep from the dangers that threatened them, so he looked to God with faith, hope and love for His guidance and protection. The programme was in charge of Mrs. Quinn with Mrs. ~~ Graham and Mrs. Pacey as "Refugee Year" was the theme chosen. The question was asked, " Why do we have refugee year"? It has been called "The year of the last hope". It special effort to close refugee camps that have been in operation for so many years, many of the inhabitants being handicapped people who have been far rejected as immigrants. Some reporters who have visited these camps to find out conditions there have confessed to being almost ashamed of being Canadian in view of our small contribution compared with our abundant living and spacious country. However, something being done. The churches have made contributions and some individual groups have each adopted a camp in order close it out. Mrs. McMullen favoured with a very lovely solo with Mrs. Arkles at the piano. Mrs. Gordon read an article entitled "Refugees are Human", a reminder to those contributing used clothing for overseas relief to send all articles in good condition, as to other human beings. 'To Love Supremely" by Rev. E. R. Sparks "And he answered, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself." Luke 10:27. In Jesus' day, as in ours, there were those who did not believe in any resurrection from the dead or any after life of any description. But for any intelligent person who stopped to think and then sought the eternal life of God, Jesus Christ was ready with light to live by. Once a bigotted, narrow-minded Jew asked Christ what he had to do to inherit eternal life. Two things were essential; love God, and love your neighbour, this man who thought that he better than others, Christ told the story of the Good Samaritan who was neighbour to i stranger in need. day, I believe that the stress by Christ would be on Willing Workers Meeting The June meeting of the Willing Workers' Society of Old St. Andrew's Church met at the home of Mrs. Cameron Philp on Thursday afternoon, June 2nd, with a good attendance. The President, Mrs. C. Post, opened the meeting by reading Psalm 90 after which Mrs. G. Hollingworth led in prayer. The minutes of the May meeting were read by the Secretary, Mrs. E. Broomfleld, who moved their adoption and seconded by Mrs. B. Rutherford. Carried. We were indeed glad to welcome two members from the YiW.A., Mrs. D. Rutherford and Mrs. Ralph Learmonth, fo discussion re the two societies joining in the expense o building the kitchen of Manse. It was unanimously decided to appoint two ladies from the Y.W.A. and two from Willing Workers to meet with the trustees of the church and view the Manse regarding same, which was moved by Mrs. Rutherford and seconded by Mrs. Bell. Carried. the other side of the Law. Man the human level is far from be-realizes that he does not ing dun. n0, here is the centre live just to himself. Such organizations as the various service clubs and the International Red Cross have been founded to aid our neighbours of any colour, race or creed. The strong sentiment against the apartheid of South Africa shows that we have come to recognize the brotherhood of man. But the love that we owe to God has been largely forgotten. The commandment that we should love God is as familiar to the lawyer who talked to Christ. Like the Jews who "tithed mint and rue and all manner of herbs but love of God", however, we know nothing of the meaning of that love. Without sacrifice, love has no meaning. Thus Christ died that W£ might live. Then if we claim that we love Christ, we must be COLBORNE W.I. Members of the Colborne Women's Institute met for the May meeting at the home Mrs. Stewart Cox. After usual opening excercises, i utes were read and approved, also "thank-you" notes other correspondence.

A social hour was spent and lunch served by the hostess. willing to sacrifice all else for Him. Absolutely complete is the love that God demands that we offer Him. The heart or emotional life of the individual must be centred in Him. Nothing else can be loved in compari-to Him. Love and hatred, hope and fear, desire and delight, all must be in delation to our walk with Jesus Christ. The soul of man which loves ease and pleasure must be willing to be deprived of comforts rather than dishonour Him. Physical strength is to be given to Him. Real, sacrificial love gladly gives of its time, effort, authority, and influence that the lover might be exalted before others. Is that lover God? Does the mind and intellect of the professed believer apply itself only to the way in which God will be pleased? You might say that this life of love toward God sounds very dull and difficult. However, any-knows that a life of love on ing. In the Berlin art gallery there is a painting by Menzel that is only partially finished. It is a scene showing Frederick the Great talking with his generals. The army generals and the background are beautifully done in oils, but the central portion of the painting is dull and drab. Frederick has been lightly sketched in with charcoal, but the painter died before he could finish it. What a picture this is of the lives of so many. They have put into their lives the general|s of insignificance and the background of things, but have left the central figure, Jesus Christ, out. The painting of your life is incomplete unless love for Christ dominates your whole being. ed and mailed another box of baby clothes and had a box of clothing for older children nearly ready to send off. Delegates to the District Annual appointed were Mrs. Gordon MacGregor, President; Mrs. H. Rush, District Director; Mrs. Alex Mackie and Mrs. J. C. Corbyn. It was voted to support another scholarship for Northumberland County rather than a scholarship for the Trent Valley area. Fifteen members from Colborne attended the District Annual held in Wooler United Church on May 19th. In the Tweedsmuir Competitions, Colborne won second prize for hooked chair seats and third prize for a one act play. The roll call, " How I would like to improve my home", was answered by members and visitors with a variety of suggestions ranging from "someone in in the kitchen to do the work' to those calling for no changes voiced by members just home from a trip south. Conveners gave a two-minute report as follows: Mrs. Telford, Agriculture and Canadian Industries, hints for spring gardeners, how to raise delphinium from seed, pruning climbing roses and ornamental shade trees; Mrs. Mackie, Citizenship and Education, Confederation of Canada in 1867 and the enactment of the Citizenship Act, January 1st, 1947; Mrs. Corbyn, Historical Research and Current Events, the story Mothers' Day and The Summit Conference; Mrs. Peebles, Home Economics and Health, food and relaxation and how to get your housework done. Mrs. Rush reported on the Guelph Confer- for Public Relations Officers held at O.A.C. For short ses for the coming year we chose "Sandwiches for all Occasions" and "Tailored Slip Covers". At the close of the business session, Mrs. Delbert Peebles gave a talk on the spring trip to Florida taken by several members and friends showing pictures of the countryside and spring blossoms in the Southern States. Trinity Anglican Church Ladies' Aid The Ladies' Aid of Trinity Anglican Church held their regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, June 2nd, in the Parish Hall. The President, Mrs. Frank Winduss, opened the meeting with a prayer for the Synod, which was in session at the time, followed by the Lord's Prayer said in unison. The Secretary's report and the Treasurer's report and the main business of the meeting followed.
