'The lack of a definite policy in developing leadership was also discussed. It is hoped the new Farm Leadership Training For- ums will meet this need.

Rev. B. .D, 'Armstrong had charge of the Church service and chose for his tekt, "Is not this the carpenter"? The choir sang an anthem "Search Me O Lord I Pray." "An Evening With Formosa" For my sake and the Gospel's-- Go! A glorious challenge ringing down 'through the centuries and its clarion call, loud and clear to all who pause and listen, found instant res- ponse in the heart of Mrs, Lillian Dickson, of Formosa. On the evening of Jan. 8 at Burn's Church she held her audience enthrol- led in a thrilling account of her work. Reaching the Tyal tribes to dedi- cate churches, demands mountain climbing--interesting did jou say? Clambering no hands and knees up| .one side, slipping, sliding down the other, covering sixty miles in three days, walking across swaying flimsy bridges spanning chasms and valleys between high hills and wading knee deep through fey streams, her feet cut and bleeding from sharp stones, sleeping on bare rough boards, she finally reached her destination. One illiterate woman heard the gos- pel once, gathered friends and rela- tives and was the means' under God of bringing life eternal to her moun- tain tribe. To-day 260 churches wit- ness to the transforming power of God. Terrible electrical storms rage over this- area making havoc of supply toutes. 'Mt8. Dickson while taking a meeting was accosted by an exhausted messanger--mediéines and food need- ed!. road blocked, I am breaking a road through. That in essence, is her slogan for finding solutions to problems. Upon indomitable courage, unswerving determination that never deviates from its goal, the closest communion with the- Holy Spirit of God ,to whom she turns for explicit instruction for each days' activities and obeys with marvellous results, does her success depend. Very tenderhearted, her sympathies went out-to the babies born in the Government Leprosarium where there are 700 patients who look to Mrs. Dickson their "mother" for aid. Here a leper mother in agony cried "Save my baby", and now Mrs. Dick- son shelters 26 happy, healthy, lovable little folks whose parents are lepers, - Government officials care naught for the leper patients but Mrs. Dick- son through letters written to the homeland appealing for aid has ef- fected radical changes -- comfortable mattresses replace-bare boards, and a kitchen where the cooking is done for the crippled; all crowned by her loving comforting presence and the gospel message of life everlasting to all who accept the Saviour as his own. ° "On behalf of the niembers of the W.M.S.

Samells, teacher), noticed what they thought to be a parachute coming down in a field north of the school, A group of children hurried to the spot and found a U.S:A: 'weather balloon, : ; Examination showed the balloon de- signed to 'carry a radio to a height of twelve miles during which time it broadcasts reports of temperatures and air pressure back to the weather station. Upon reaching the maximum height the balloon bursts and a paras chute opens and as this descends the radio continues with its_broadcast of weather data. The parachute is made of some specially treated paper. * A little plaque attached to the radio gives this information 3 to the finder of the equipment.
