Membership has increased 50% so that more books are needed to keep up With the demand. and money is needed to ,pay for them. Children do not pay fées to use the library.

British Missionary V ' Miss Provart’, a British Miss- ionary, stationed in Jerusalem. had many interesting facts to tell pertaining to the present situaâ€" tion in the Far East. Miss Pro- vart left Jerusalem last July for a sanmonths furlough. She was, reluctant to leave as the trouble in the Far East was gating worse and she was afraid she might not be able to get back. Mis Provart is cutting her furlough short and hopes to be able to get back to Jerusalem for the'Christmas fes- tivities. Themission is very short staffed. ‘ Orthodox Religion . “The orthodox. religion," she continued is the recognized relig- ion. It does not. go beyond the old testament. The difficulties are great as theorthodfiox Jew is de- termined to keep out Christian religion. Besides the ortlloddx Jew there are the Zionists who are for the state in place of re- 11gion.~Then there is‘ a big pro- portion of Jews who have no faith in anything but a longing for something â€" a belief in God. The younger generation is grow- ing up not believing in the ortho- dox religion but have nothing to believe in. There is no such place as Palestine now. It is di- vided into Israel and Jordan.

Jarvis. though they have not been for- ced to alter their way of life, therervstill is the,impression of life as it was lived in Biblical days; In the Bible study groups they come to believe in the Lord Jes- us. Some pay much greater price than others. Jews suffer from their own people if they follow Christ. They may lose their fam- ilies, their jobs. their businesses if they remain Christians. The Jews, Miss Provart said, are offended to think they need saving to bring them to the ful- fillment of their faith. They think the missionaries are trying to bring them a new religion. v Mrs. Geoffrey Beatty, of St. John, Oak Ridges read the scrip- ture and gave the explanation At the tea Miss Provart was given a gift of money which she said would be turneb over to the miSSion.
