Many of our ships do not return to our shores for two or three months, thereâ€" fore distribution commences about the first of November, and inâ€" structions are given that the bags should not be opened until Christâ€" EN. Shiswrecked sailors who have lost all their belongings receive a gift Ditty Bag any time through- out _ the year, whenever they reach our shores. _ Shipwrecked sailors are taken care of at our Navy League Seamen‘s Clubs and are outfitted there.

ANSWERED PRAYER Like many of us today, the disâ€" ciples of Jesus wanted to know how to pray so that their prayers would be answered. People have always prayed in some manner, but being more or less ignorant of the purpose and power of prayer, they have many times been disâ€" appointed at receiving no answer to their petitions. It is significant that Jesus gave his disciples a definite prayer, which has since been called the Lord‘s Prayer. Matthew gives one version of it (chapter 6) in his account of the Sermon on the Mount. _ _ _ _ The Master instructed his disâ€" ciples as to the manner of prayer, giving also an outline as to the order of their asking. He taught them first to address the Supreme Being as "our Father," thus inâ€" cludingâ€"others as well as themâ€" gelves as the children of God. They were to e:fi)ress reverence or reâ€" spect for His name or character. They were to pray for His kingâ€" dom to come on earth as it is in heaven, all this before asking anyâ€" thing for themselves. Then came the petition for daily bread, and the request that their debts to God be forgiven to the extent that they themselves forgave those inâ€" debted to them: followed by the request that they be kept from temptation and delivered from evil. The frayer, as we have it toâ€" day, concludes with the final afâ€" firmation of praiseâ€"the honor, glory, and power which are forâ€" ever God‘s. Christ Jesus not onlv gave them this definitelX worded prayer, but also reminded them of some things which they should not do. They were not to be "as the hypocrites are," standing in Ellblic places to be heard of men. They should not use _ "vain repetitions, as the heathen do." He warned them that their sins would not be forgiven of the Father unless they forgave t%ou who _ trespassed against them. ,000 Ditty Bags are uired xxgmtmu Ei!u for t«henlq‘ilorl I x Royal Canadian Navy, the chant Navy and our Allied Y, OCTOBER 14, 1943 ISN‘T IT THE TRUTH 2 B Tiâ€"Jog No.19 will. Life is full of opportunities. It is for us pnycr!ufiy, thoughtâ€" fully and thankfully to use them. At the evening service, the subâ€" ject was "For what is Eternity too short?" 0 o Continued from page 2â€" The music of the choir and the solo by Mr. Richard Seagrave, all so fittingly arranged with the thought of "Thanksgiving" runâ€" ning through it, proved a great inspiration and _ reflects _ much giedit upon Mrs. Leuty and Mrs. xon, Next Sunday evening the choir will have chnfc of the service and lead the Hope in their favourite hymns. ere will be anthems sools and quartettes, etc., and under the leadership of this grand aggregation of excellent singers a timely i::’yintion and blusnw is anticipated. . The pet?le of Wesâ€" ton are all most cordially invited to attend this service. â€" A meeting of representatives of‘ all organizations connected with the congregation was held in the Sunday School room of the Church on Wednesday evering, Oct. 6th, for the purpose of l:yinfi(plam for the fall and winter work. Dr. P. T. Meek presided. Discussion regarding the best way to coogerate with the reiula- tions laid down by the W.T.P. & T. Board regarding conservation of food, etc., and the request by the Fuel Controller that Churches make every effort to economize on the fuel consumstion with â€" at least a saving of 20% of last year requirements. This was gone into thoroughly and plans were made that wherever g‘ossible meetings be held in the homes, and an{ meetings that require the Churc auditorium or S.S. room be held as close to the Sabbath as possible. |CHURCHES| Every organization had a voice in the discussion regarding arâ€" rangements for the coming season â€"many very helpful suggestions were made. Regarding the matter of Home Delinquency, the neglect of chilâ€" dren and the relationship of the Home to the Church, Child Welâ€" fare â€" religious instruction | in home or school. The home is the key to our most vexing problemâ€" while we take courses in civilian defence and first aid in preparaâ€" tion for possible emergencies of war, there are casualities of war which is _ causing considerable alarm in our own city of Toronto, because of neglect or inability on the part of the parents to care for their children. â€" The future of Christianity. It will be of little use to fight as we are fighting toâ€"day for the preserâ€" vation of Christian principles if Christianity itself is to. have no future, or at immense cost to safe guard religion against | attacks from without, if we allow it to be starved by neglect from within. Realizing that these conditions are becoming general rather than exceptional _ o u r _ Presbyterian Church in Canada is making a serâ€" jous effort to reâ€"establish themâ€" publishing a magazine for Family Worship and Private Devotions by the Committee on Home Religion. After de:fi) and earnest discusâ€" sion along these lines this commitâ€" tee made the following resolution to be forwarded to the Committee of Home Religion of Presbytery and a copy to be sent to the Dept. of Education. This committee beâ€" lieving that this Province faces a matter of deep concern in that crime and juvenile delinquencg are on the increase which is a direct challenge to our Churches and homes, we believe that more seriâ€" ous effort seems necessary to combat these nlarminfly serious firoblema. Be it resolved thatâ€" eligious instruction be included in the curriculum and that this be extended to cover all grades in Public and High Schools. _ _ _ A high type of citizenship among our people is surely the deâ€" sire of every worthy citizen. A number of institutions are at work in our midst seeking to make posâ€" sible the realization of this noble and ambitious ideal. In the front rank of these stands the Church. Its aim, we believe, is to achieve Christian citizenship. The moral ur spititual tone of a community is than that which is PM'P.M ‘The need burden hangs like a cloud over the world is for a closer walk with God. The Church is a God apâ€" pointed ‘ institution calls for our wholehearted dloflsnu uuxr his leadership to meet this problem of human need. * There‘s a challenge ringing round __ _ the world today _ _ _ And our souls await the test, Can we show our colours on the __ King‘s highway, Can we phdg to yGm'l our best. There‘s a need for honest fervid loyalty _ In the paths our fathers trod, Can we hear and heed its Clarion call, It isâ€"Loyalty to God. It was luguud that meetings of this nature be held once a month as tonight‘s discussion was very helpful to all present. After A'iv'e?';"{liiiu'flc "e\'miir}&] ‘Dr, Meek closed the meeting with the beneâ€" diction. Children Baptized Last Sunday Morning It was an important day for eight Westminster families when their "pride and {;)y" was admitted into the Church by the Sacrament of Baptism. The minister‘s fathâ€" er, the Rev. F. G. Joblin, assisted, and the children were: Wendy Katherine Anstey, Robert William Halkes, Margot Elaine Holland, William Fraser Farquhar, Thomas Leonard Glassford, John David Joblin, Heather Edna Jane Thornâ€" ton, John Albert Thornton, Carol Jean Wardlaw. â€" _ The evening service was one of Thanksgiving throuih praise, and was taken largely by our choir, Four anthems, a trio, and a duet led us in worship of the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Eighâ€" teen young people met after, and conducted their own Thanksgiving service. Elections are planned for this week. Two Special Services Cc This Sunday morning we shall hear how goes the fié1t against Canada‘s gigs&:st menace, _ the liquor curse. ev. R. A. Whatâ€" tam, one of our representatives in the battle, will preach. In the evening we are to enjoy another in the monthly series of coloured pictures on the Church in the world. _Last month it was Free China. This time, fittingly enough, it is Japan and its first conguest, Korea. In our hatred of the devilâ€" ish militarist ruling group, let us not fox:iget that noble little minorâ€" ity under Kagawa, the Japanese Christians, who tried to stem the tide of war and who are the hope of a new Japan after the aggresâ€" sors are defeated. These pictures should be both interesting and inâ€" structive. Strangérs will be most welcome. : & :HUMBERV ALE : The Women‘s Association held their monthly meeting on Wednesâ€" day evening; October 6th., at the home of Mrs. J. Crane, Crane Aveâ€" nue. There were eleven members and one visitor present. The presiâ€" dent, Mrs. M. Warren, opened the meeting with the theme song. Reâ€" ports were read and adopted. Dr. Bartley was appointed to deliver the ditty bags to the Navy League. The proceeds of the Harvest Home supper was very pleasing to the ladies and part of the money will be used for the decorating of Humbervale Church in the near future. The ladies were pleased to have Mrs. Barr, of Weston, visit with them at this meeting. The president closed with prayer and the hostess, assisted by her daughâ€" ter, served refreshments and a pleasant evening was spent by all. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. A.

Most every one once ( held the opinion, that night air w a s weighted with d e a t hâ€" dealing properâ€" tles, and that the more hermetically sealed the sleeping ‘room was, the greater safety against sickness it provided. Toâ€"day all nations are outdoorâ€" minded. The healthâ€"giving qualiâ€" tied of fresh air and exercise are not only undisputed but accepted unquestioned. Leisure hours are interludes which should be utilized to the full for the mental and physical recreation that makes work more efficient and life more enjoyable. Improved conceptions of working hours have given everyone more leisure time to enjoy as inclinaâ€" tions prompt. Each one follows his own‘taste in the manner of spending leisure hours. But for their perfect and complete enjoyâ€" ment, one factor is necessary to all; good vision. Seeing clearly and enili' is reallf the prime requisite for enjoyable, refreshing, recreational hours of either dayâ€" time or evening. Good seeing deâ€" pends on two factors: clear vision and good illumination. Outdoor ilâ€" lumination is always good. Inâ€" doors, however, geople often read ‘under light which is far too little for eye comfort or for eye welfare. But, under the very best illuminaâ€" tion, good vision is not possible if the eyes themselves are defective. Therefore, having the eyes exâ€" amined at regular intervals and the defects corrected, together with plenty of good light on all eve tasks, will insure the. good vision that contributes so greatly to the pleasure and benefit of leisure hours.
