MISSIONARY UNION U.S. CHAPLAIN AS SPEAKER Chaplain Darling, of the U.S. Marine Corps, was the speaker at the annual thanksgiving service of. the Methodist Women's Missionary Union held recently in\ the Wesley Church, Taranaki Street. ' : v \ Taking his theme from the Book of Exodus, Chaplain Darling traced the wanderings.of the Israelites, "primitive humans,", through, the wilderness land showed that God working in man (meant man working for God and the spontaneous building of a tabernacle for God. Such a tabernacle had been built in : the hearts of the natives of the Solomons through the influence of missions, and as. proof he instanced the great care and kindliness of the natives,who had saved so many of the lives of the marines in Guadalcanal. The offering, amounting to £ 146, was presented by representatives of local auxiliaries and was dedicated by the Rev. W. A. Burley. A communion service followed, conducted by the Revs. W. A. Burley, A. K. Petch, and A. O. Harris. Miss B. Turner presided at the organ, and a sacred solo was sung by Miss Bennell.
