.v SEELE_Y’S BAY U.C.W. On Sept. 2 the U.C.W. held their first meeting of the fall season, after being closed for July and August, with the president Hilda Simpson presiding. Hilda thanked everyone for their support of the Home Cooking Sales held during the summer, also thank- ing the Camerons for the use of their lawn. The food sales were a great success. Date for the fall Rally is Wednesday, Sept. 24 at Toledo with Mrs. Klassen as guest speaker. Plans were made for all interested to attend. The devotional was conducted by Jean Collinson and Joyce Simpson with Valera Hartley the pianist. Our mission study on Japan was taken by Rev. Mr. Quammie who presented the subject in a very capable and interesting way. He gave us a clear picture of Japan today, especially in relation to our own church. We learned about its Agriculture, Industries, natural resources and religions. In a population of 114 million people, only a little over 1 million are Christians, the other religions being Buddhism and Shintoism. It was interesting to learn how it feels to be a Christ- ian in Japan, a modern, prosperous, worldly and growing country. We were fortunate to have Mr. Quammie introduce Japan, leaving us with a desire and interest for further study. Refreshments and a social time were enjoyed.
