Mr, McGilp sald in working on the program for this year's sector campaign, he had found the work interesting, challenging and thought Provoking. “It was Interesting because for one thing I was in contact with a fairly large segment of the congre- gation, getting from them ideas of what ought to be done and what must be done, ‘what does the church sell?’ there 4s on answer. in the Bible to be found in the gospel according to St. Matthew, Jesus was speaking to nis disciples and“ he said ‘Where two or three gather together in My Name there am I, in the midst of them.’ “A close look at this quotation munion with our Lord and deeper fellowship with each other.” The prayers and benediction were given by Rev. R. H. Pratt, and two selections were sung by the church cholr, "I Wes Glod,” and “Unto Thee I Lift Mine Hycs.” Convenor for the dinner was Mrs. R, McCutcheon, and caterers were the United Church reveals an tion that possibly answers many of these questions, Perhaps the reason 60 many of us fail to find spiritual ++.

We pay for insurance coverage hoping never to reccive payment in turn. We make our an- nual pledge to the church but do not appear anxious to drop in and recelve whatever it is we have con- tributed to, “We have heard many, many times, sharp criticisms of the chur- en You haven’t put your ear in condition for WINTER DRIVING bring it in right away to be ahead of that SNOWY DAY SZ DEALER IN ‘SHELL PRODUCTS CASTLE.

If we attend church with minds preeccupled with business or with envy, bitterness or jenlousy, then we exclude all ppssibility of recelving anything ‘from the chur- ch because we are not Auxillary ladies, Tables were cen- tred with gold and white daisies ‘and ‘mums! gracefully arranged, Other church officers at the head table beside the speakers were 8B, H, Cherrington, chairman of the board of stewards; J.
