McClure speaks to United Church Women Dr. Robert McClure, medical missionary and former moderator of the United Church of Canada, in an address at the Annual Meeting of the Oshawa Pres- byterial United Church Woman warned that great civilizations are destroyed, not by invasion, but rather by rot from within. In his jolly, informative and optimistic manner, at both morning and afternoon sessions, he held 'the wrapt attention: of a record crowd of over 450 ° United Church Women attending the Annual Meet- ing, April 2nd at St. Mark's United Church, Whitby. Introduced by Mrs. Wm. Winter of St. Mark's U.C.W., Dr. McClure said that in Third World Countries - the teaching of the Gospel is no longer left to foreign mission- aries because the natives prefer to hear the Word of God from their own people, but most often from Bibles translated by us, a task that takes up to twenty years. More requests come for experts to train the native people how to become self- sufficient because their greatest need is for technical education. Paying tribute to the people of Borneo, fifty per cent of whom are Christian, Dr. McClure said they are a peace loving, non violent race of people whome he never heard quarrelling, swearing or using unkind words. They have a great sense of dignity. Compared to affluent Canada where literally everything has to be kept under lock and key, in Bor- _ neo where the average year- ly salary is $148.00, there is no covetousness-hence no stealing. Today the natives line up to enroll their child- ren in the church school to ensure their moral training. Medicine has made tremen- dous strides almost com- pletely eradicating scourges - as malaria, cholera and the plague. - He 'praised the work of UNICEF in wiping out so many children's diseases with vaccination. Family planning, a well advanced program, with a much better record than we have in Canada. Dr. McClure told how donations from two U.C.W. groups in Canada made it possible to prevent the death from tetanus of - hundred of week-old babies each year. Dr. McClure deplored the biased American and Canad- ian press coverage showing only the Killings and war rather than the wonderful accomplishments of men such as Jock McCloug who " averages a well a day, dyna- miting and drilling in arid India and the work of agric- . ultural experts making pos- sible ten to thirty fold crop increases, Dr. McClure was most graciously thanked by Mrs. F. Stevens Kendal who gave a special welcome to Mrs. McClure, a former Whitby girl. In the absence, due to illness in the family, of Pre- sident Mrs. Ebenezer, the morning ses- sion was presided over by Past President Mrs. R. V. Sheffield of Oshawa. Mrs. Neil Petty, president of St. Mark's U.C.W. extended a welcome to all. 'Miss Mar- garet- Webber was organist for the day. Treasurer Mrs. S. J. Taylor reported a balance of over $1000.00 and presented a sus- tained budget for 1975. Mrs. W. F. Guthrie, Literature Chairman, reported on the outstanding books for sale in the literature display, where she was assisted by Mr. Tilling from the Book Room, Toronto. To keep all mindful that this is the Fiftieth Anniver- sary of the United Church of Canada, five members of presbyterial executive pre- sented a well planned skit written by Mrs. Guthrie, in which Mrs. Walter Wright, Blackstock, as cook, added such ingredients as co-oper- ation, enthusiasm and parti- cipation, as she assembled the three layered W.M.S., W. A., and U.C.W. cake, while four generations of ladies recorded interesting histor- ical anecdotes. Great Grand- mother was portrayed by Mrs. G. Cathcart, Kendal, Grandmother by Mrs. Carl Adams, Blackstock, Mother by Mrs. W. F. Guthrie, Aud- ley and the C.G.I.T. daugh- ter by Mrs. W. G. McLean, Pickering. A ladies choir from St. Mark's sang an Anniversary song, the words of which were written by incoming president, Mrs. A. C. Ferries. On display in the literature room were historical folders and publications covering one hundred and fifty years of women's church work in Canada. - Friday & Saturday, May 2nd - 3rd EAU DE LOVE by Love MOTHER'S DAY SPECIALS 3 Sizes - 3 Specials 2 FREE DRAWS EACH DAY OF SALE -- for -- " CHANEL & BRUT PRODUCTS FREE SAMPLES from Faberge & Love Cosmetics For the First 100 Customers Each Day PRO TOOTH BRUSHES HARD & MEDIUM BRISTLE 2/88 Reg. 79c ea.
