In a frank manner Mrs. William Babb told how she became a Christian. Although her paternal grandfather was a pilgrim Holiness minister, she was born into a family who had no faith. Finally she and her sisters became Christians and all eventually married ministers. It developed that one day a friend of hers invited her to church, and it was here she later met the man who was to become her husband. Kev. William Babb, now the pastor of the Wesleyan Church, Walkerton. She said she never dreamed that she would end up in a parsonage. Mrs. Babbs subject was "Does Jesus Really Care For Me?” She quoted the following scriptures which she said provided the answer to her question: John 3:16, Romans, 3:23, John 1: 1-9, Matthew 11:28. and 1 Peter, 1:5 7. She described Christianan. ity as the life of God in Man. She said "If you shut Him out ou can't get to know him He is air teacher, God and friend. Let ■um be what He really wants to be."
