The Intermediate Ohoir led in the hymn singing and following the prayer and reading from the scriptures a film was shown entitled “Invi- ta_tion to the Wedding."

On Sunday evening, January 17th, 35 young people from Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto were the guests of the Young People’s group of Holy Trinity Anglican Church at Thornhill and attended the regular evening service. These young people were return- ing a visit made by the young people of Mr. Philip Townshend- Carter's Senior Bible Class to Holy Blossom Temple some weeks ago, Following the service the young people met for over an hour with Rev. Askew, plying him with questions and listening intently to his answers. Rather than made aware of differences, their attendance at Holy Trinity had made them all very much aware of similarities between Ju- daism and Christianity. Having visited churches of other denom- ination they found that the Ang- lican form of worship more closely resembled their own than any of the others. Rev. Askew eplained this by pointing out that the morning and evening prayers given in Anglican chur- 'ches have developed from pray- ers of the ancient monastic ord- ers and thus came from the same background as did the Jewish rit- ual. The young people, who were ‘from 14 to 17 years of age were interested in the terminalogy us- ed and enquired the exact mean- ing of words which are ordinarily taken quite for granted - such as “sin” and the use of the term “miserable offenders." They were also much interested in the Christian beliefs about death and the afterlife, enquired about the relationship of an empty cross to a crucifix, the explanation of the Holy Trinity. and many other details. The discussion continued to such lengths that in the social period which followed, there was time for only one game before the refreshments were enjoyed. The young people of Holy Trinity were much impressed by the knowledge the Jewish young people had, as evidenced by their questions, not only of their own faith but of Christianity. The entire group now looks forward with enthusiasm to their next meeting when the Holy Trinity young people will again visit Holy Blossom Temple on Febru- ary 26th. Social Notes Mr. and Mrs. Gavin Warnock and their daughter Mary Jane returned shortly after Christmas from a month spent in England and North Wales. While in Eng- land they stopped in Kent visit- ing various relatives of Mr. War- nock’s and then went to Degan- wy in North Wales where they also visited relatives. Their re- turn home was marred however, when they learned that their home had been broken into in their absence and a record play- er. radio and several other ar- ticles stolen. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Percival and their three children of Elgin St.“ spent a pleasant week-end at‘ Blue Mountain Lodge. near Coll- ingwood, last week-end. While Mrs. Percival modestly denies that what she did could properly be called ski-ing, the rest of the family did enjoy ski-ins and everybody had a fine time. Annual Meeting.

Evans then introduced guest speaker Mrs. Cally Israel, Richmond Hill librarian. ‘ Mrs. Isra-el proved to be a very inter- esting speaker and said that more children’s books are now being publjshed and that any good book must have something to say and say it with style. Children are more conscious of second rate books than adults are. Some libraries don't purchase books until they have been in circulation for two seasons. Mrs. Israel advised parents who wanted to buy books for children to consult their librar- ians who are always glad to help. also parents should be sure child- ren are at an age to understand such authors as Dickens. etc. be- fore suggestipg these books. Printing of children’s books should be clear and pre-school age children love picture books, and should be encouraged to en- joy these books by having them read to them, higher grade child- ren can be encouraged in this and so develop a liking for good books.

Lepkey Dnlonvflle 239 ALpine 7-2650 AV. 5-2406 by Elizabeth Kelson What is altruism? This is a word that is beginning to be heard around the world. The dictionary says that it means unselfishness. I' think of it as being other- regarding as opposed to self-regarding. The greatest example of altruism was Jesus because he lived beyond himself for others always. Other famous examples of altruism can be found in the histories of : Abraham Lin- coln who abolished slavery in the United States; St Francis of Assisi who lived for the poor and cared for the lepers; Mahatma Ghandi who raised the standards of living for his fellow Indians. and taught them to meet evil with non-resistance: George Washington Carver, the great Negro scientist whose discoveries have enriched the whole world as well as the cause of the American Negro; Kagawa, the dedicated missionary who did so much for his people, the Japanese. These are only a few names from the roster of great ones who left their lasting influence in the world because they lived beyond themselves for others. Numerous people living in the world today hold this wide view, and one of our best living examples is Dr. Schweitzer of Lambarene. There are thousands of people in every bracket of life who are confirmed al- truists. Wherever you find voluntary organizations working to fight disease, help the underprivileged. com- fort old age and care for the orphans, you will find al- truism of a very high order. You are being altruistic when you give to missions, support welfare organiza- tions or extend a helping hand to anyone outside the immediate circle of your friends and family. You are that when you get behind the organizations that fight disease and contribute to their drives. Whenever you see that new progress is being made in the battle against polio. cancer, muscular dystrophy, mental illness and other cripplers and killers you will be happy to know that it is your dollars and cents that have made it poss- ible. Without your moral and financial support, altru- istic endeavours would be at a stand-still. Obviously .we have to make choices as very few of us are in a pos- ition to volunteer or even donate to everything. Howeyer the cheering thought remains that it is possible for all of us to help make this world a better place in which to live because of this altruistic principle. Recent visitors with Mrs. Wm. Wellman have been the Charlie Wellmans of Cobourg. who went on later to visit in Victoria Square. Charlie spent a few of his growing years in Headford. Headiord W.A. met Tuesday evening last at the home of Mrs. Elmer Leek. Despite very bad weather and road conditions there was a very fair attendance to greet Mrs Douglas Calder, the new president. The treasurer’s report showed a healthy balance. Mrs. Wes Middleton gave a deâ€" lightful talk on her recent trip to California. The spring rally was announced for February 3, in Uxbridge. Tlfe Cumâ€"mér Lees were guests last Sunday of Jean’s mother, Mrs T McDougal. Victoria Square WMS schedâ€" uled for Wednesday last, was postponed until Friday on ac- count of weather, but actually Friday’s weather was not much better, which probably accounted for the poor attendance. There were nine present at the home of Mrs. E. Brands in Gormley. The opening hymn of Tell Me the Old, Old Story to a lovely accompaniment on the hostess’ hi-fi. Mrs McCague took care of the devotional; a review of parts of the study book. Africa Dis- turbed, was given; another hymn with the Hiâ€"fi, and dedication of the offering with the Lord's pray- er, completed the 'worship per- iod. In the business session it was announced that Victoria Square had fallen short of its allocation by $40; but that the aggregate of the whole of York Presbytery showed an increase in missionary givings for the year of $1,000. The annual meeting Was announ- ced for January 28, at Stoufiville; and Mrs McCague brought word about Richmond Hill ladiw us- ing a bus for transportation and that there would be room on it for up to 1-0 Victoria Square members Cards were signed by all pres- ent to be sent to absent sick members. Next meeting is to be at the home of Mrs. Storey. Mrs. A'creman and Mrs. Deverell were present from Headford. By way of benediction we joined hands and sang “Blest be the tie that binds”. A lovely lunch served by Mrs. Brands made a wonderful finale to a memorable meeting. Thursday evening was the oc- casion of the Sunday School an- nual meeting. On entering the basement of the church, it was discovered that a small portion of the ceiling had fallen. The meeting opened with the read- ing of a chapter from the Book of Timothy by Mr. Binnington. As graduation had been in Sep- tember, teachers were not chang- ed. Stewart Rumble was returned as superintendent, Mrs. Acreman and Mrs. Wm. Wellman were ap- pointed as a missionary commit-I tee and Mrs. C. Lee takes over the choruses for Marg. Brodie.
