trust. Psalm 143.8 was the theme, led
by Miss Doris Schofield, president ct
the B.Y.PU. and Miss Florence

which the group discussion of the les
sons were os follows: "Give ear to ny
words, o Lord, consider my Media

Misses Francis Jones and Secelia
Lewis "I cried to thee, o Lord, and
unto thee, Lord, made supplication."
ASK" was also discussed by Misses
Jones and Lewis. "The righteous shall
flourish like the palm tree: he shall
grow like cedar in Lebanon. Those

God. They shall still bring fort lit
in old age: they shall be fat and
flourishing." "The Righteous Com

topher read and discussed Devotion
pointing out that as gift many held
that it is the gift of holiness only
/ those who are Christians possessed the
gift of devotion While others were
of the opinion that the unregenerate
! have it not, some think that it is
delusion, a product of excited nerves
and morbid imagination In Miss
Christopher's opinion all are wrong,
that the gift of devotion, as she ex-
planned to the group, is an endowment
like gift for music, poetry, sculpture.

was discussed by the group. Abra-
hams intercession for lot and his FAM

cidents in his life. wilt thou not

When the children of Israel turned
to the worship of the golden calf,
Moses was greatly grieved and prayed
to God, saying, "Oh, My Father, this
people have sinned great sin, and
have made them gods of gold Yet
now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin,
/, and, if not, blot me, pray thee, out
of the book which Thou hast written.
The Apostle Paul prayed, saying, "or l
could wish that myself were accursed
from Christ for my brethren, my kins-
men according to the flesh" Has in
tercessory prayer become a lost art
with the Christian and the Church?
Miss Gwendelyn Schofield, who is
. in charge of the Intermediates, both
the Sunday School and the B.Y.P.U.
and from what l have observed, is a
splendid teacher, very puntual and
faithful. Patience, which is so essen
tial for any teacher, is one of Miss
Schofield's characteristics and for that
very reason, the children enjoy her as
their teacher twice a day. What 1
