Wesleyan Ser vice Guild Holds Meeting “He Healed Their Sick” was topic for devotional led by Miss Matilda Bell at the regular monthly meeting of the Wesleyan Service Guild of the McCormick Methodist Church on Monday nioht. Julv 17. at the home of Mrs. Gaston Wilder. “Jesus was always responsive to the needs of the people with whom he came in contact. He never refused to help anyone who came to him with need. He usuallv waited un til he was asked to effect a cure, and in many instances he re- "•’-ired an assertion of faith in himself before he healed.” Marx naints a word picture of Jesus’ work of healing in the Gospel when he says, “At even when the n did •sei they brought . unto him all that were sick”. Our ser- . vice for the kingdom must in^- elude the relief of suffering, and sympathy for those who /have need. / Mrs. Gilbert, thanked the mem bers of the Guild for y t.he fuqs. that were purchased since the 5 last meeting for the .Tunic; D - :- oartment of the Suhday School, and invited the members to visit th° room at any time.
