She also contends ithat while affairs seem discouraging we may rest assured that all work of value will be conserved, that the great need of free education and medical attention in the near future will cause the doors to open wider’ than ever; that the Chinese Christ­ ians are rising splendidly to the oc­ casion and that what China needs is oui’ sympathy, patience, understand­ ing and prayers.

Meeting South ; Huron Women’s Missionary Society ’ On September 1st, 1927, a beauti- ; ful autumn day, the South section ' of the Huron Presbyteri'al of the • United church met in Crediton. The . church was filled and the interested ’ faces and hearty singing of the Mis- ■ sionary hymns testified tcf the fact that the W.M.S. of South Huron is ■ a live body, very enthusiastic over ; this part of the Master’s work-: Mrs. • Mollard the Vive-President added ■ very much to the tone of the meet- 1 ing by the manner in which,she presided. Following the opening liynjn anc). jnypcaitipn (he .Greenway Auxiliary ' conducted the devotional exercises, taking for their theme the Macedon­ ian Call and the story of Lydia, who like most of the women of oui* Society, was believing, -busy and. self­ sacrificing. Mrs. Zwicker, on behalf - of Crediton, welcomed the Auxiliar­ ies and Mrs. Sinclair, of Hensall ' made a fitting reply. Miss M. Ellis was appointed Sec- retary,- Mrs. Horney and Miss Mae Wilson, the Finance Committee, and Mesdames Moorehouse and Wickwire the Courtesy Committee. The minutes were read and adopt­ ed. Then followed the Roll, Call of Auxiliaries, led by the youngest one present, Brinsley. Only one Society failed to respond and the reports gave various interesting -ideas for the holding of meeting and raising of funds. Systematic giving receiv­ ed first place in methods for rais­ ing funds. Five Circles reported and showed great enthusiasm in their work. Seven Mission Band reports were given, Hensall being unique in hav­ ing theirs read by a boy, ^Master Lome Elder. The reports were most encouraging and proved that much earnest and prayerful effort was being put into the work of Aux­ iliaries, Circles and Bands. In a very brief and interesting talk, Miss Jean Murray gave a splen­ did survey of our Study Books, also urging on each member the value of the Monthly. This closed the morning session and we adjourned for dinner. The opening exercises of the afternoon session were*ably taken by Kippen and Hills^reen Auxiliar­ ies. In a few words of greeting Rev. Mr. Hiscocks referred to the far-reaching influence of the W.M.S. and the power it had in the work of the church. In M'iss Rowe’s address on Band work she emphasized the importance of the Band as the nucleus of the W.M.S. She mentioned- that as ed­ ucation is the main purpose at this stage too much should not be exp'ec- ted financially, that the chief pur­ pose of Bady Bands is to interest young mothers and get the children started early and that each Auxil­ iary should supply its Band with several copies of the Palm Branch. Mrs. Kidd took charge of the Round Table Conference and very ably answered the questions sent it. The Missionary Addresses for the day were given by Miss Mary Martin of Central India and Mrs. Carscalen of China. Miss Martin gave a slight idea of the difficulties encountered by the Missionaries of Central India when she mentioned that their territory covers 30,000 square miles ^ith 12,- 000 towns and villages that they are responsible for 3,000,000 people of whom only 6,000 are Christians, and that Central India being only a British Protectorate, native-govern­ ed, they do not receive the help and protection from the British Govern­ ment that they otherwise would. She referred to the great needs of Cent­ ral India as Medical, Evangelistic, and Educational. Owing to the lack of nurses in 7 hospitals, doctors have to do double duty and work in out­ lying districts is impossible. As there are only 7 evangelists for 12 stations our missionaries work un­ der great difficulties, frequently one must work alone, 20 or 30 miles from the nearest English speaking person. As to education many more village schools and native teachers are needed as children’s work is the most effective. However, the work is encouraging, there being 20 or­ ganized churches in tliis district, and in spite of persecution the mem­ bers remain faithful. Mrs, Carscalen, who is connected with Library and Educational work tn West China University of Chengtu said that China is faced with three revolutions; Intellectual, Political and Industrial and that her leaders, who are moved by self-interest, racial hatred and injured vanity, are-, to blame for the present uhrest. She holds that the outlook is very hopeful for Chinese women, who have already passed from the Prim­ itive to the Self-Assertive stage and are now ready for the W.M.S. to guide them into the’stage of volun­ tary Self-Denial. Results show that Chinese work among girls is well I GREENWAY (Intended for last week) Schools opened on Tuesday with Misses West, Walker and McLean in charge, Mr. and Mrs. Derbyshire, of Rod­ ney, called on Mrs. Sherritt last week.

He announced for a preparatory service on Thursday evening at 8 p.m. to be followed by a congregational meet­ ing to make further plans for the new shed and arrange for the anni­ versary and fowl supper. A full at­ tendance is requested. Miss Alice Turner visited her brother John Turner, of Brinsley, ovei’ the week-end. MRS, O. MONETTE There’s comfort for all who suffer from •indigestion in this grateful note written by Mrs. Omer Monett^, Montreal: “I hardly dared take ‘Fruit-a-tives*, fearing my dyspepsia wouldn’t vanish,” Mrs. Monette frankly confesses, “but finally took two boxes. Now I eat well and recommend ‘Fruit-a-tives’ to all my friends as the best remedy for dyspepsia.” Mrs. Monette expresses the sentiment of thousands of people whose digestions came quickly back to normal under the healing influence of “Fruit-a-tives”. This wonderful medicine is a combination of intensified fresh fruit juices and tonics. Indigestion and biliousness often are due merely to lazy bowels, liver and kidneys. “Fruit-a-tives”' overcomes these condi­ tions gently and naturally. Get a box from your druggist, 25c or 50c. Relish your food again as Mrs. Monette does. NEW RURAL MAHj“ HONES New rural mail boxes will shortly replace the swinging arm type now in vogue. The increase of traffic on the highways and byways brought to the attention of the postal officials the risk of damage to and by the boxes sticking out over the road. To eliminate this objectionable feature the new boxes - are pivoted on the post so that at no time can they ex­ tend more than half their own length outside the ^post. . Saintsbury . services will be heldm St. Patrick’s church on the 25th of September at 11 a.m. and 7.30 p.m., services being conducted by MrA Moore» et Ailsa Craig.

Bulteel, rector of St. Patrick’s Anglican church, Saintsbury. The late Mr. Davis was born at Northgore, near Ottawa, 77"years ago, coming to his late residence with his parents at the age of 2 years, where he has since* continuously resided. Fifty- two years ago he was united in mar­ riage with Miss Ann Neil, of Cent­ ralia. Mr. Davis was of a quiet dis­ position but was highly respected by all who knew him, and although he has been in failing health for a number of years he was never heard, to complain. Mr. Davis was a mem­ ber of St. Patrick’s Anglican church Saintsbury since childhood, where he never missed service when he was able to attend. He was also a lifelong member of the Orange Or­ der under whose auspices the fun­ eral was conducted. He is surviv­ ed by his sorrowing widow and two daughters, Mrs. Alex. Macdonald and Miss Lena at home, also one brother Samuel, of London. LOWER PRICES TiEiiMP SET Makes Pontiac Six the Best Investment Value MEN who look upon an automobile from a hard, dollar-and-cents standpoint are just as emphatic in their praise of Pontiac Six as those who seek primarily the beauty, smoothness and comfort which Pontiac provides. The enduring quality of Pontiac Six—its ruggedness and staying power—gives it the lowest depredation and the highest resale value of any six-cylinder car in its price class. From a business standpoint, the New and Finer Pontiac Six represents a sound invest­ ment in reliable, comfortable, economical automobile transportation—protected by the lasting quality of the car and the staunch' 4 integrity of its makers.

In 1925, while skeptics and critics were loudly declaring that the direct operation of a radio set from A/C current (eliminating all batteries, chemicals, chargers, etc.) could not be done, young “Ted” Rogers, of Toronto, DID IT—and this, Canada’s contri­ bution to the development and progress of radio, was the greatest forward step since the invention of the vacuum tube. Now, in its third year, the Rogers stands supreme as the pioneer of “Electric” Radios. Today radio sets operating direct from any light socket, without batteries, chemicals or chargers, are not merely an accepted success but are the standard, and will, within another year, completely supersede battery sets where electric current is available, With five years of research and experiment behind it; with three years of proven performance; with the record of having, alone and unaided, developed the batteryless principle for others to emulate, the Rogers is the logical, the sensible choice of every pur­ chaser who desires a batteryless set that has successfully passed the period of experiment and test, with its accompanying grief. - The Canadian public have already spent about two millions of dollars for Rogers Batteryless Radios, and from Halifax to Van­ couver they have proved their worth by the one true test-— continuous performance, with uniform, everlasting power,* Cameo Console 5-tube Rogers-Batteryless Receiver,f „ " J ~ combined with Junior Symphony Horn a very compact yet efficient' and powerful Receiver, $325.00 complete.
