Buntingford Branch of the Mothers' Union
A largely attended meeting was held in the George Assembly Room on Wednesday at 6.30, which was addressed by Mrs Parkin, Central Organising Worker from the Mary Sumner House, who is visiting the Branches of the Deanery during this week.
After a hymn, Mrs Dixon (Hon. Sec.), opened the meeting with prayer, and introduced Mrs Parkin, who spoke with much power on the ideal of a Christian home which underlay the first starting of the Mothers' Union by Mary Sumner 50 years ago, and which is, or ought to be, still the aim of every member.
She emphasized each of the three objects: the sanctity of marriage, the responsibility to God for children, and the fellowship in Prayer. She also urged upon members the duty of service, either as members of a Branch Committee, or by living consistent lives.
Mrs Howard (Enrolling Member) expressed her thanks of the meeting to Mrs Parkin for her helpful address, and announced that at the January meeting it was proposed to form a Committee of Communicant members, who would greatly assist the work of the Branch.
