A worthwhile day for all On October 19, the Executive of Lindsay Presbyterial met at Peniel United Church. The Presi- dent, Mrs. Joyce Jones opened the meeting with a poem, "The Autumn Lesson" followed by Prayer. Joyce welcomed everyone and thanked the Peniel ladies for their hospitality which included coffee, in china cups and muffins. Eleanor Mahood led an im- pressive worship service, begin- ning with '"The Beatitudes of the Aging."' Scripture taken from Psalm 92:12-15, followed. Eleanor read a meditation entitled Never Too Old to Grow,' and closed the worship with Prayer. Mrs. Dorothy McKague, on behalf of the Peniel U.C.W. welcomed the ladies to their church. The Attendance sheet was cir- culated, as regrets were given on behalf of those who were not pre- sent. The minutes of the June 14 Executive meeting were approv- ed as written. There was no Cor- respondence and Mrs. Florence Harrison, Treasurer, gave her report showing a balance of $3,674,65. She noted that contribu- tions to Bursary and Quin Mo Lac are down this year. A motion passed that a donation of $500.00 be sent to Mission and Service from the Presbyterial Treasury.
