Jackie, who is celebrating today, is also the great grandson of Mrs. Jacob Hyatt, 'Lamps to Fill' Subject of Talk At Quarterly Meeting of W.A. Mrs. W. F, Inglehart, president of the Dominion Woman's Association Council, was the guest speaker at the quarterly meeting of the Wo- man's Association of Simcoe Street United Church yesterday afternoon. She chose as her subject, "Lamps to Fill", Mrs. Inglehart sald that while Woman's Association work is first of all local it is now spreading far &field and to-day it is Dominion. wide. : The speaker told of the farmer who lights his way to the barn with a small lamp and on entering, the animals show no fear... . only a stranger would be afraid. She com- pared this illustration with the work of the women in the church, "In church work as we get to know each other and use the light we have, we won't be frightened," she said. But she urged that we have a light that appeals to all, Mrs... Inglehart went on to say that the woman to-day is more no. ticeable if she falls from grace than she was in years past, for she is in the public eye more than ever before. Therefore if women are to get anywhere each must be strong individually and so make her group strong. The speaker went on to tell of the depression in 1913 and how the church helped those who were with. out work and the necessary means of livelihood. She explained that in order to do a better job, the women organized and thus was started the first Presbytery Women's Associa- tion. To.day the light of woman's work has spread and more and more presbyteries have been formed. Among the many works which Mrs. Inglehart described as that of the Woman's Association, was the shocking incident of the 12- year.old girl who wrote her a letter so full of hate and disgust that it challenged her. In the letter, the writer in childish handwriting and wording berated the women of the church for helping the children in Europe but forgetting that there were children right here in Canada who needed help. When the letter was invstigated, it was found that the child lived in what is generally known as the "red light district" and that she had for two years been a slave in one of the disreputable, degrading, houses. She was imme. diately removed and put in a chil. dren's home, but it was unthinkable, stated the speaker, that in Canada, in Toronto, such conditions existed. 'In our homes," continued the speaker, "we are leaders, but out- side, most of us must be followers, and our influence, if we"work to- gether, may be felt across an ocean". She went on to point out that there is still much help needed in Sunday schools, and with Girl Guides and Boy Scouts and in all the branches of the church. "There are various ways to have the light come," con. cluded the speaker. "But the great. est way is the Bible, and while small individual lights count, a group of lights count even more." Mrs. Harry Smith, president of the Woman's Association of Simcoe Street United Church conducted the business meeting, Mrs. A. A. Crowle, accompanied at the piano by Mrs. George Booth; sang, "Tis Jesus", Mrs, E. J. Umphrey thanked the speaker and the soloist. Mrs; Cecil Worden was the pianist for the afternoon. An invitation to hear Mrs. Inglehart speak, had been is sued to all members of Woman's Associations in the city and re. presentatives were present from al. most every church in Oshawa. Lunch was served by the groups headed by Mrs. Rex Harper and Mrs. Norval Wilson. Pouring tea were Mrs. Vernor McNeeley and Mrs. A, D. Cornett.

Hender- son and Miss Beth Shemilt, leader of the group, who presided. Mrs. A. W. Bell who was the specker of the evening, took as her theme the lines of the inspiring poem by Howard A, Walter, "I would be true, for there are those who trust me," which is sung by the C.G.LI.T. She weighed the merits of each line of this inspirational poem revealing the inner beauty of the meaningful words to her young listeners. She appealed to the mothers too, and urged them to stand behind their daughters :to guide them and counsel them, "All the troubles of this topsy-turvy world radiate from broken homes," she said, "but the influence of a Christian home life is a strength that never fails and that cannot be danied." Mrs. Bell's remarks were warm- ly received and she was presented with a corsage of pink carnations by little Miss Barbara Follest. The toast to the church was pro- posed by Miss Betty Parks to which the Rev. S. R. Henderson re- plied, and the toast to the mothers, proposed by Miss Shirley Howard, was answered by her mother Mrs. Arthur Howard. : Mrs, Clayton Lee brought greet- ings from the senior W.A. and Miss Marion Thompson from the Junior Auxiliary of the C.G.LT.

She made many friends while she was there and they will be interested to read of her activities in India, United Church of Canada Mission Hat Piplia, Central India, January 11, 1948 Dear Friends, Here I am out on tour, living in a lovely large tent under a banyan tree. There are two folding cots, one for a nurse who has come with us, two folding tables, three fold- ing chairs, a bathtub (not folding!) and a folding washstand, Thus we live for three or four months of the year. I was going to do my own cooking but the last minute decided to invite a tailor to become my cook and he was willing. The foods that have to be kept from ani- cupboard which is hanging from the banyan tree, The roots of the tree, hanging from the branches nearly to the ground, form a kind of curtain to keep the sun off the front of the tent. In a nearby tent the two Bible-women live and in another is our medicine box. Fur. ther away are the men's tents. We visit in the villages and hold meet- ings at our camp site, There are about twenty Christians in the vil- lage nearby, 16 of them new this past year, We have just had Sun- day service and I gave a talk on prayer because we are stressing the learning of the Creed and the Lord's Prayer for these new Christ- ians. It is mot difficult to under- stand and be understood in these villages as it was among the Bhils, Stormy Voyage Now let us go back .to the trip out. On the Queen Mary we had very stormy weather so it was not an enjoyable trip, but on the Strathmore, still an "austerity" ship as it was not reconverted from war use yet, there was one class on- ly and we really had a lovely trip. Our arrival in Bombay was accom= panied by the usual baggage and customs difficulties and the trip to Central India was In a worse sec- ond class compartment. than we had ever remembered seeing before, but at Ratlam we had a real wel- come even though we arrived be- fore 7 am, Before coming to Hat Piplia I made the trip to Sitamac for the things I had left there when | I went on furlough and Miss Drum. mond was to meet me with the | truck but both it and her small car broke down, (both too old) so I found myself waiting from 11 am. to 6 p.m. with no food arrange- ments. A package of chicken noodle soup sent to Miss Drum- mond which I was taking to her, saved the day and a young man lent me a stove, a pot and a spoon. Fortunately I had water with me. The Hat Piplia bungalow is very nice. True, the motor is not run- nnig which should supply us with running water and electric light and the Coleman lamp fails to work, leaving us with just hurri- cane lanterns, but many of you would envy the amount of space we have for living in. Christmas Parties The Christmas celebrations of Hat Piplia congregation were very fine. There are many young men, most of the Christian families in this town having sons rather than daughters, and they worked togeth- er to plan a ggod time for all Christmas Eve they decorated a large tree behind the bungalow wtih balloons, paper, lighted cand- les and gifts. Mwny came in from the villages gné& the Christian En- deavour young people had arrang- ed to collect money and have gifts on the tree for nearly everyone. But the biggest surprise--what do you think--Santa Claus = came along in an ox-cart. And a fine Jolly Santa he was, even if his clothing was not according to Hoyle. I saw some of the young men later taking a great interest | in the pictures of Santa among the decorations fn our home, so next year they will have him more like good white whiskers, Christmas Exe noon we had the children in from the hostel, for lunch and af- terwards sent them on a scavenger hunt and gave them little gifts provided by money which a little boy in Canada gave for them. Christmas Day we had our' gifts with our breakfast by the fire in the early morning then attended church service, after which we had all the nurses from the hospital in for lunch, two of them young men--ten of us in all.

It added to the merriment for lnaian young peopie are not just quite at home witn us at the table yet. Then we three who live in the wungalow, Miss Scott - (nurse), Dr. Samailya (indian) and I, all went in che old car over the very bad road to Indore for Christmas din- ner and evening with the other missionary folk there--18 in all at the table I think, We took the pudaing, macie jointly by the cook, Miss Scott and me and it was in- deed good, as agreed by all. The School Concert The school ciosing concert a week betore Christmas, which took the form of a Christmas drama, was very well done and attenaed by many non-Christians, It was grand to see the non-Christian children singing the hymns so well. Day after Christmas the C.E. put on a fine drama and the mext day there. was a sale, as much for Christian fellowship as for raising money for a church to be built here. Up to now they meet in the school or on the bungalow verandah, Then two days of special. prayer meetings before the New Year rollowed by a Preaching Day when all were in- vited to go forth and preach. Many went out in various groupings and the reports they gave at an evening meeting that day in our living room were splendid. They hope to go more often, It is this volunteer work we wish to increase as there is too little of it in our Christian congregations, We had a good 'Watch Night Service in our living- room ana again .on New Year's | a.m, a large attendance at a meet- ing in the school, Then Jan, 4-10 prayer service every morning, fol- lowed the Week of Prayer program. There is a school of about 70 pupils and a hostel of 16 of which I am in charge but there is little I can do in eitner while out on tour in the villages and this is our main work at this time of the year, teaching the Christians and preach- ing to non-Christians, When it geus too hot to live in a tent in March I hope to go for a week or two to a Government guest house where we can stay while preach- ing and selling books in the vil- lages round about. Then I can do waatever there is time for in the school before closing the end of April, You should see the pupils the older ones with foot-high desks in front of them. No chairs or benches are needed for they do not use them in their homes, I could tell you much more but this is enough for the present. Do pray for us and our congregation In Hat Piplia, They nearly all live on the Mission compound and work for the Mission, We want them to become strong and ready to carry on independent of the Mission should need arise for we do not know what changes there may be in the future for our work in India. May God give you rich blessings and a happy year in your work for Him during 1948, Sincerely, Frances Stevenson.

Broadcasts End on Saturday With English Opera 'PeterGrimes' Regarded by many as one of the | most beautiful and significant | operas written in the present cen- | tury, "Peter Grimes" by Benja-/| min Britten is set in a small fish- | ing town on the east coast of Eng- | land about the year 1830. The op- | era deals with two fundamental hu- man problems; the conflict between an unusual man and the commun- ity, and the conflict between man | and nature, | Newest in the Metropolitan Op-! era Company's repertory, the op- era will receive its premier radio performance in North America. on Saturday, March 13. It will mark the end of the "Met" broadcasting season, First performed in 1945 at the Sadler Wells Theatre in London, "Peter Grimes" had its American | | great art, which is premiere the following year, at the famous Berkshire Music Centre in Tanglewood. Peter Grimes, a weird, austere and visionary fisherman, was over- taken by a series of misfortunes brought about by the power of the sea, which gradually drove him in- sane until he committed suicide by | sinking his boat in calm weather. "It is the music of the sea; -- now tranquil and cajoling, now threat- ening and terrible -- that is the main glory of this opera," says the well-known music critic Boris Goldovsky, adding that "In this work Benjamin Britten accom- plished the fundamental aim of to teach wus something new about the human heart and express it through new and significant musical beauty." RE.ECHO LODGE L.T.B. Sister Edythe Missett presided over the regular meeting of Re. Echo Lodge, assisted by Sister Maudy Arnold. Three new members were Tre. ceived into the lodge.

A euchre party was planned for Monday, March 15, at 2:30 by the committee. It was decided to hoki a full practice of the degree team at the next meeting on March 15. It is hoped the members will all plan to be at this meeting, Refreshments were served at the . close of thie meeting and a social hour spent. 'Life Like an Auto' Speaker Tells Club "Going Places" was the title of a talk given to the Happy Doubles Club of King Street United Church by Miss Elizabeth Pitt last Thurs. day, She made an interesting com. parison between life and an auto. mobile, each on a journey. The most intricate machine of all is life," she said. "Life must have something to give; co-operation, spirit, help and encouragement to others. There is no hope if we lose faith. If we use poor grade oil (character) we will burn out. "At what speed do we travel?" she asked. We must keep our eyes on the road and never go to sleep. Our road must be for good and not for evil, Our Christian way of liv. ing provides the road map", con. cluded Miss Pitt. Mr. Vernon Osborne and Mr. NeW. ton Hackney presented a bed.time story in their special humorous way and a short sing.song was led by Mr. Meredith Moffatt, Mr, Jim Hare and Mr. Ray Way.
