PHONE 760 Mr. | Missionary Nurse " Outlines Condition of Life in India Mr. Robert McConnell introduced his sister Miss Isabel McConnell, missionary nurse of Jobat, India. Mr. McConnell told of how his sis- ter as a child attending Sunday school at her home in Northern Ireland, planned on making mis sionary work her life's vocation. Miss McConnell was dressed in native Indian costume, a beauti- ful green sari edged in gold thread, completed by an imtricately em- broidered and lace-trimmed under- skirt. She also wore native san- dals with her outfit. Miss McConnell remarked that her last term in India had been the shortest, though most difficult as the hospital was without a doc- tor most of the time. She was one of the first nurses sent to the pre- sent hospital and many times wish. ed she might return to Canada when she saw the lack of facilities and nursing essentials. At first, the speaker continued, the natives avoided coming to the hospital but as their confidence was won they began to come in such great numbers that the hospi- tal is often overcrowded. The hos- pital ministers to all classes and creeds. No one is ever turned away. The Bihls, although the most primitive of jungle tribes are really most loving and grateful and worthy of help and affection. - They have became outcasts and are known as thieves but on the other hand they have a keen sense of humor and are very brave, al- though they still harbor fear of puksuit by evil spirits. Once these fears have been overcome they learn quickly. In 1935 a single building was erected, now five hospitals are in operation. Male as we]l as female nurses are being trained to staff these hospitals, A humorous note was brought to the address when Miss McConnell stated that in the edarly days, patients sometimes came for treatment accompanied by four generations, all their ani- mals and household possessions. Many still think it wicked to kill that great nuisance--flies. Most natives think that sickness is due to evil spirits and in 1942 an epidemic of cholera. killed many of the population. One incident was told of how one woman lost four sons and a' daughter and a husband and how she went to the hospital for help. Her child of eight years was treated and cured and , the mother told friends her child was helped 'by. prayer, not medicine. While at the hospital with her sick child thieves stole all her animals and belongings. Although Miss McConnell is very happy in her work and she has seen results in medical and educational work, evangelistic work is really her reason for be- ing there. Nurses and doctors are sent as disciples to draw and win the people. One native very aptly summed it up by saying that he saw Jesus in the very work and lives of the nurses there. The nurses in turn teach the patients His Word. 4 . The speaker concluded: by say- ing that missionary work is not wholly the work of missions but the ones at home are responsible for the help and -encouragement given in our contributions and prayers. So much unrest and cris- is are in upheaval amidst the na- tives and their faith is badly shak- en. God has no one on earth but ourselves to go forth and teach His gospel. The help of each and every one is urgently. required. rs. Stewart Soanes moved a sincere vote of thanks to-Miss Me- Connell on behalf of all present. The Spring Thankoffering meet- ing of the Arvilla McGregor Mis- sionary Auxiliary was held on Thursday evening with the presi- dent, 'Miss. Madeline Sinclair, pre- siding. After Miss Sinclair wel- comed all visitors: Mrs.: T. R. Dry- den read 'the Scripture. Mrs. A. H. Dancey led all "in meditation of prayer. Miss Lois White sang a solo "Just For Today," accompanied by Miss Vicki Simpson.

Birth Certificate or other satisfactory proof of age MUST be W. Gordon Bunker, Business Administrator, "My girl friends and I have dis- cussed these matters many times and would like your help," writes a Junior high school girl. "If a boy and girl 'break up' and he comes back later to be forgiven, should you forgive him if you have met somebody you like better?"'-- Ans, Forgive him by all means. Just be casual and friendly with.a "let bygones be bygones" attitude, saying that, of course you believe in "forgiving and' forgetting" un- pleasantness and that it's past his- tory as far as youre concerned. If yowve met a boy you like better, simply explain to him that you value his friendship and want to continue to be good friends, but that you're not " gol steady." Don't mention the other boy whom you like better; it's better not to discuss personal matters like this with anybody, for it's strictly your own concern--nobody else's. "When on a date should you chew gum?"--Ans. Chewing gum isn't considered good manners soc- ially any time, But, if you and your date enjoy it, I should think that it would be better if you BOTH do it or else skip it. = "I am 13 years old and my mother won't let me go to the movies or give parties. I am in junior high. Do you think 13 is too young to start giving parties and start going to the movies with boys? Please answer this in the column,"-- Ans. You have been old enough for parties at your friends' homes since you were two years old. Doesn't your mother realize that it's better for you to have normal, wholesome fun at home than in questionable public places? But its improper to go to other people's parties without 'even en- tertaining them in return. Now's the tithe to go to parties and give one yourself occasionally. Why not try to explain this to your mother? Movie dates with boys usually begin a little later....at the age of 15 or so, depending on your city or town whether you come di- rectly home afterward. For tips. on games for fun at parties send a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope to Elinor Williams at this paper.) HABITS THAT HURT Mother, if your child has bad ha- bits, what are you doing about it? National Health headquarters wants you to. understand that you won't get-anywhere by scolding, spanking, shaming or bribing the child. He must be made to understand that everything possible is being done to help him. "Replace rossible feel- ings of helplessness, guilt or shame by self-confidence dnd optimism," say the doctors. "Correct 'wrong ideas about his difficulties and any thoughts the child may have con- cerning inherited traits. If bad habits persist, further steps may be required, in consultation, of course, with the family 'doctor." . YOU WOMEN Here's Good News!

FIRST PRIZE this season for youthful charm goes to the ankle- length dance frock of dark lace. Dark navy blue lace of the Alencon type is used for a handsome dance dress. Slim of waist, full of skirt. The graceful bodice is posed over a wide band of pink silk satin, and has cap sleeves and a very deep, draped neckline. A A THE BLAZE of color marks a beautiful shirt-and-skirt informal evening costume. The shirt is of pale lilac chiffon elaborately tucked all over, while the skirt, of deep violet taffeta, is very wide and marked by rows of festooned cord- ing, LR PERFECT for the right face, which, of course, is the face that is very young and fresh, is the hat that ties on with streamers. Ab- sinthe straw, a shade between green and yellow, makes a pretty little hat with tiny roses nestling in the folds of its delicately fluted trim. A tubing of matching green velvet makes the necklace and the casually looped bow that ties it at one side. : Mrs. Miss Erline Hopkins Becomes a Bride Erline Hazel Hopkins became the bride of Gordon Wilton Alexander in the parsonage of King Street United Church on Friday, with the Rev.

ACT YOUR AGE Extension of the expectancy of life in Canada has been due largely to decline in deatks in infancy, youth or early middle age, There has not been a corresponding stretching of the life-span for per- sons upwards of 60 years of age. So, according to National Health auth- orities at Ottawa, it behooves those who reac the "wisdom years" to act ther ages and to take special care of themselves. Spirit and ideas may stay young, but exertion must be geared to moderation and action governed by prudence.

H. Rice opened the meeting. Miss Edna Greenfield introduced the speaker of the evening, Mrs. Herbert Wil- kinson, of Dufferin Street, Toronto, who is a returned missionary from Africa.

Faith, prayer, courage and per- severance were the four personal qualifications a new missionary must possess within her self, Mrs. Wilkinson stated.
