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.
Mrs. Wessie Hitt reported that
quite a nice array of fruit and
fruit juices were sent to a sici^
friend in the county during the

ble for the recreation. ,
