Leesburg WMC Meets At Winona Lake Home The Leesburg WMC held its January meeting at the home of Mrs. Don Hinks at Winona Lake. Following opening prayer and the reading of the scripture, Mrs. Lester Vandermark asked the ladies to center their attention on Joshua 23. Even at the age of 110, Joshua gave some wise counsel and advice to the children of Israel. The same words of wisdom applies to the Christians of today. God’s standards for a victorious life have not changed. They still are obedience to His word, separation from the ways of the world, and love for the Saviour. For the mission meditation, Mrs. Hinks shared with the group some experiences and victories in the life of a doctor’s wife, Mrs. Harold Mason. She and her husband are serving the Lord as medical missionaries. A time of prayer and praise followed. During the business meeting plans were made for a work day at the church to clean cupboards, classrooms, etc. Each lady brought an item or two for the missionary chest. Any visiting missionary has the privilege of selecting something from the chest. A copy of life’s recipe was given to all present with the suggestion that each one make a copy and send it to a shut-in friend. A cake baking contest is set for February. Each woman is asked to bring her favorite cake (no box cakes, please) along with the recipe. Cakes will be judged for texture, etc., and an award given. The meeting adjourned and the hostess served a delicious blueberry dessert. The next meeting will be February 10 at the home of Mrs. Mike Foreman.
