HOme on furlough after 5% years in Formosa, Rev. George Malcolm gave the congregation a first-hand account of what the Presbyterian *Church is accom- plishing in that land. Since much of his work was among the mountain people. Mr. Malcolm said he was relieved they had discontinued the head-hunt- ing practised 35 years ago. Now the aborigines are mostly influ- enced by Christians. He showed colored slides of the 250 by 70-mile Asiatic island, which lives up to its name. meanâ€" ing "beautiful in Portugese. “Two-thirds of the island is mountainous with more than 100- -000 aborigines in that section. The Chinese live in the lowland part, over 10 miles of plains," he said. V The executive includes president. Mrs. Aubrey J. The country is rapidly becom- ing industrialized and where it had been 75 per cent rural a few years ago, is now 55 per cent rural. Two crops of rice are grown yearly, enough for export. The missionary reminded his listeners Christian mission work is surrounded by temples. He stressed the devotion of the people who visit up to 15 temples. “They are so devout they would put Christianity to shame," he observed. Formosans have inâ€" vited missionaries to add the fig~ ure of their God to other temple images so the people can wor~ ship him too. Use Yule Cards Mr. Malcolm thanked the W.M.S. for sending Christmas cards to Formosa. Through their use in the Sunday School, the children translating messages onto wall panels, many adults had been encouraged to attend church and learn more about Christian- ity. The speaker showed pictures of the Presbyterian high school, at- tended by 1,000 students, which had been built in 1880 from On- tario contributions. He said there were 50,000 adult Christians in Formosa. Explaining how donaâ€" tions accomplished much in build- ing in Formosa.

Pictures were shown of the Happy Mountain leper colony, which has always received church aid. “Lenrosy can be cured, but it takes a great deal of plastic surgery. The 60 to 70 patients and outpatients in the mountain colony are marred victims, whose faces are not acceptable to the outside community.” He estimated the-re were nearly 400 baptized adult leper Christians. Mr. Malcolm was pleased with the warm response to missionary efforts among the aborigines. Of the three pastors superintending all the mountain churches, one had been conscripted. “We visit a church, expecting to baptize 16 and find 70 ready," he reported. Mountain Churches In the mountain region the people do not wait until they have a church to hold their two- hour services. They have them outdoors or in houses. "They tend toward building a church of bam~ boo with a few iron supports, but these can be blown down in a typhoon. We encourage -them to build a strong church,” said Mr. Malcolm, showing the picture of an attractive grey stone church in a setting of rugged_mountains. “Ten years ago they didn’t know about God,” he said. “More than 60 people were killed after a 40-inch fall of rain and We were in charge of relief for the area." Mr. Malcolm said, showing a pic~ ture of his house, which had the floor flooded. Another scene show~ ed a group of people, suffering from the eye disease, triehoma, who had been treated by mis- sionaries. Paying tribute to the part play- ed by W.M.S. members, Mr. Mal~ colm urged the congregation to visit Formosa to see for them~ selves what the Christian Church is doing in that land. “A church that is not‘ interest- ed in overseas missions really isn't a church, because the Lord said go into all lands and preach the gospel,” Mr. Malcolm de- clared. He was thanked [for his message by Mrs. Ted Siverns. President Mrs. Donald Mc- Callum welcomed those present and read a meditation, Keeping Christmas, from Henry Van Dyke’s The Spirit_ of Christmas. Miss Mary Rawlings read the Bible and Miss Heather Crooks, also in -C.G.I.T. uniform, sang Holy Night, Peaceful Night, ac- companied at the organ by Mrs. Fred Gray. Mrs. Charles Black led in prayer. The collection for mission work was received by Russell Arbuckle and Ronald Crooks. Rev. Gordon Agar pronounced the Benediction. While tea and cookies were served, the congregation had an opportunity to meet the mission- ary couple and to see their col- lection of pictures, clothing and handcrafts in a table display. It is with great pleasure that Branch 570 Canadian Legion’s Ladies Auxiliary announced that their Turkey Dinner. held last week was a financial as well as social success. For some time all attempts at making a small prof- it have not been enough to meet overhead expenses. but thanks to all those who put their shoul- ders to the wheel things are look- ing a little better. Mrs. Margaret Killick wishes to thank all who helped to support this venture. both patrons and those ladies of the Auxiliary who helped pre- pare the dinner by their kind donations of both baking and time spent serving the project in any way. The men did them- selves proud in the decoration department and the store really looked quite lovely and festive. Mrs. Peggy Cragy of the North Road Lake Wilcox. Legion News Last Monday the newly elected officers of the Ladies Auxiliary were installed in office. With the festive season over and the New Year duly welcomed the next project for the Legion and its Auxiliary is 3 “Burns Dinner.” I announced last week it would be held January 14th, but some Scotchman pointed out Robbie Burns day is January 25 so it is likely the date will e changed to either coincide with or be'near that day. While my ancestory is Scotch, just one generation back. I can only guess what haggis consists of as it is a secret of the race but of course the main requireâ€" ment is that it be served with generous portions of music from the bag-pipes which we aim to do. So even if you have never heard o'the ‘highland fling” come on out and see what is all about and if you are a native of old Scotland. be sure to attend to reminisce of the good old days with your fellow countrymen.
