held Oct. 25, 1956, at First Prot. Ref. Church. Mrs. Tom Van Eenanam played the piano prelude and also for the group singing. We sang Psalter No. 151 and Dutch Psalm No. 42 verse 1. Our President, Mrs. Harbin read I Peter 2 and led the meeting in prayer. She gave word of welcome to all the ladies present.
